The report said multiple notable prospects so hopefully we see soon

Need to hold off until I see the return, or it might be me getting tagged

Great destination, that system is ripe with good prospects

The real win of this trade is the friends we made along the way

That's true, but it certainly felt like he was an afterthought.

Ill never understand why everyone pegged him DOA after 65 at bats in a sunk limp to the finish line last season. I don't know why we invested at all in Maldonado and Stassi when they should have just let Lee take it this season. I guess they gotta keep that "for the fans" mirage going.

If the White Sox were really asking for some of the names or packages that are being floated I imagine a deal would have been done already. Getz is obviously still asking for the moon, and rightfully so.

Yeah I would always take SS, those are usually one of the best athletes. That and CF.

In high level athletics, male athletes ARE superior to female athletes. Not because "women aren't good" but because males are just bigger, stronger, and faster by nature. If this wasn't the case, they wouldn't be segregated into women's and men's athletics. So again, please don't confuse this with "every male is better than every female" because that's not what I am saying. My original statement was in reference to the best athletes in this country in men's sports not choosing soccer, sorry for not clarifying.

Nothing I said was sexist. It wasn't meant to be degrading to women, there are plenty of great athletes that are women.

Literally never heard of anyone you just named. So ive made my point. Also, womens soccer? really. You could find high school boys teams that would wipe the pitch with the USWNT. Don't get me wrong, they are the best in their field but when I said the best athletes in this country, obviously I was talking about males.

Feel like ive been hearing this for 20 years, its the go to response for the soccer lovers. The best athletes in this country don't play soccer, and they never will.

Yeah sorry I have to agree with Balta on this one. Anyone who tweets or posts "Its possible the White Sox trade Cease before opening day" is just wasting characters. Like get the hell out of here with that, no s%*#.

Soccer is the worst thing ever, no one should do anything like they do.

I hope its the Padres, they have some really nice players in their system and it goes pretty deep too. That would be my ideal trade partner.

I would be floored if Getz played hardball all winter holding out and then trades Cease to Texas for a 25 year old utility player and two SP prospects with one of them being pretty underwhelming so far and turning 24 in a month. I mean, that can't be real right. Feels like they could have made a deal like that months ago if that's what they wanted in return.

Didn't they have a ton of scouts at his last start though? That doesn't seem to me like a team with no interest.

I gotta say, I would be pretty disappointed with a Duran, Porter, Leiter package. Think I would have to crawl back to Balta and baseball_gal_aly and apologize to them if that's what happens.

Maybe they know something, maybe they don't. Feels like there is something going on though with how this is blowing up again. What I really can't stand is the "insiders" with their emojis or vague comments and refusing to elaborate. So when something does happen they can then say "told ya so" and if nothing happens no sweat they didn't say anything in detail.

Barring an injury, it really doesn't matter what Cease does tonight. Its not like the Yankees are going to see him pitch 2 inning, give up 2 runs, and only K one guy and say "Actually, this guy stinks".

I know, it wouldn't make any sense if you didn't. Ive just been waiting to bust that gif out.

Balta realizing Cease may indeed get traded for a haul

The Patriots are going to have a choice of a nice QB prospect at #3, I don't think they are players for Fields. When you consider they just trashed Mac Jones and now have an entire new regime, that screams drafted QB to me. The Giants are screwed. They are stuck with Daniel Jones, or they can cut him after this year and eat a 22 million dollar cap hit. If they trade for Fields and hes good, they would then have to resign Fields to a massive contract. Its just an ugly situation for them financially there.

They're both close enough to get a QB, but even if Denver doesn't I don't think they are in any rush to make a panic trade anyways seeing as how they appear to be going scorched earth on their rebuild.
