South Side Hit Men Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 14 minutes ago, fathom said: What the hell are the Brewers doing giving up on their season They got their half billion dollars from Wisconsin and local governments. They can tank another 25seasons until their next lease is up. Isn't revenue sharing and welfare for billionaires swell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: If you think Hall can actually start, then there is some logic to the move for the Brewers. That’s a big if though. I would expect Adames to traded next though. Counting the draft pick, they have up to 19.5 potential years of player control coming back for a guy they had 1 year of control of, in a season where they were already hurting. This is the exact kind of move the Brewers always make - if they get a high level reliever out of this and a decent infielder, they're good, that reliever is a guy they can use for 4 years and then trade.

ChiSox59 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hey, good for the Os. I’d rather hold Cease than take this horseshit offer. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Always thought Cease should be traded for a package built around a middle infielder, of which Baltimore didn't have any to trade besides Poortiz (not considering Holliday), so I'm not all that sad about this. Still, wish Burnes went to a team that wasn't there to potentially drive up Cease's asking price. Good get for the O's though. I think we're finding that Cease needs half a season to up his trade value in order to return something along the lines of what the Reds got for Castillo. Castillo's season prior to the trade (2021) wasn't lights out, similar to Cease. his 2020 wasn't that hot either. But he was incredible the first half of 2022 and I'm enough of a homer to think Cease will return to form next year. I don't think he has to be traded before Spring Training.

fathom Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 2 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: It doesn’t completely satisfy the Orioles needs at all. The Orioles need starting pitching for more than just one year, which is what Burnes will be for them. Their competitive window is not one season. Allows them a year to get their ownership stuff situated even more. It’s an amazing deal for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 6 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: No, but it completely satisfies the Orioles need for pitching and does so without sacrificing their best prospects. The fact that Burnes and Bieber were both likely available was an obvious thing that would undercut the market for Cease, they would be available for a much lower prospect price. Ok I can accept that, thought you were trying to downplay ceases value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a no-brainer for what they gave up, but they will have to go through the same search next offseason as well, via free agency or trade.

But they can absolutely rethink things next offseason, or even at the trade deadline if they have to. This is what they needed - a solid starter obtained without giving up any of their top flight prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I know you never hope for injuries, but I bet Getz will be receiving daily reports on every teams’ starting pitching injuries from Spring Training until the trade deadline.

And if it works, heck maybe they're doing that search next offseason coming off a WS appearance or title. Oh, and they get an extra 2025 draft pick out of this. Or maybe someone from their system steps up, or a surprising trade becomes available. Stranger things do happen with pitchers. Or maybe they decide to make an all-in move for a pitcher at the deadline. Either way, it fills their need well at a low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see a path to a trade unless the Mariners interest was serious. Seems like none of these teams (Orioles, Yankees, etc.) want to give up their top prospects for a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
