Nightengale predicts that Cease won’t be moved because asking price hasn’t been met. Said Sox are asking for two premium prospects and two more prospects. Price seems realistic to me. I still think he moves.

Dylan Cease will move before spring training. Probably sometime is January.

This is great news

Yeah he’s not a better prospect than Schultz and I’d take the 21-year-old Quero as well

The Sox had lots of interest in Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifford in the draft process and Stearns didn’t draft any of these guys

Sox have needed LH bats for years and he’s owner won’t pay for them. Is this public now?

Do we want Mayo? I wouldn’t be thrilled with that outcome, personally. I think he’s going to mash but he’s a RHH 1B. I’m just not that interested in another righty corner player.

Speculation Morosi is tight with Getz. That’s out there for a reason

I clearly just like the attention or I’m making it all up…..

I just think Brian Cashman will make a deal. I’m not sure if Mike Elias will.

They could probably get it done without him but I wonder if they’d rather move Dominguez than Arias at this point.

It sounds like the Yankees are in pretty aggressively from some people I’ve talked to today. No idea on Boston. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being New York. Brian Cashman has the balls to actually make a deal which could help.

Maybe but the Sox signed Javier Mogollon for $75K last year and he’s a lock top 25 prospect in the system right now

Said he’s still expected to move

Remember that this isn’t a top 50 ranking. It’s the top 50 bonuses.

Lol yes

Coby Mayo won’t be in a Cease trade

Which position player should go instead of Perez? Probably Remillard but he’s likely next. Hackenberg likely ahead of Perez on depth chart too. He might clear waivers

The Sox loved Roman Anthony in the draft and Craig Breslow didn’t draft him

AA has balls. He’s very similar to Theo Epstein, Mike Rizzo and Dave Dombrowski. These other GMs aren’t power players like that. It might be Braves ultimately because AA is actually willing to make the deal

Astros might have the worst system in baseball

Dude...I don't think he knows. Nobody knows right now who the leader is for Cease or what Baltimore is willing to do. I think everyone needs to relax and find something to do haha. The White Sox offices aren't even until next week. I'm sure Chris Getz is texting, chatting with GM's etc but he's letting the pitching market settle. I don't think anything is imminent in regards to Cease.

The Orioles did something that Sox fans would've hated in the draft. They always significantly underslot early (Kjerstad, Cowser) to add talent throughout. It is tougher to do as a "large market" club because the Sox wouldn't have the extra money to play with from the free compensatory pick that Baltimore has been receiving for some reason. It's a pretty significant advantage if you also take the right players.

Asking for Holliday was a complete and total waste of time. I’d like to think they weren’t even wasting everyone’s time with that ask.

I saw that reported as well. Absolutely absurd ask if it was ever indeed mentioned. I doubt that was ever realistic. It could be. I don’t think it’s worth the risk though.
