I'm fine taking risks, but a pitcher coming off that surgery seems like a bad bet.

He had capsule surgery, the same one that killed John Danks and Johan Santana's careers. I'd stay far away from a pitcher coming off that surgery.

Lol

I'd rather keep him and hope he puts a good season together and move him at the deadline than trade him for a bag of heavily used baseballs.

Fields isn't the guy, but this QB class seems especially weak.

This.

It would function exactly as the NHL and NBA do. Stars would get paid and the middle class would shrink. Oh hey, that's no different than MLB right now.

Not can't. Won't.

I disagree. If they want me to believe otherwise, show the books. I believe 30 teams could afford this contract,they just choose not to.

Lux only has 4 years of control though, right?

You think Jerry cares about $/WAR? I think he cares about $/TWTW. This is the guy that said his favorite player of all time is David Eckstein.

No to Busch, he's 26 already.

Thank You.

OMG this would suck.

No I'm with you, I agree on Cease's value. I'm just wondering why people think that what happened in 2023 with Cease doesn't matter.

Wait, you think the Giolito return was dogshit? you must think Quero is a 1B or something then.

Giolito had a 3.79 ERA or something like that when he was traded. He was pitching well for the Sox. He blew up after he got traded. His final stats don't do how he was pitching with the Sox justice.

No, because Glasnow is a better pitcher than Cease and has a stronger track record of success.

See the Kelenic thread

We've already beaten this to death. That's what I actually think is happening. No need to re-hash old arguments. We'll see what the return actually is. I hope you all are correct. I want the Sox to get the best package they can, and if the value isn't there then I don't think Cease gets traded this winter. Note: I think Cease starts OD with the Sox because I don't think the value is there.
