Chicago White Sox Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Given Bob’s latest USA Today article, it’s very clear that Cease is very much available. As such, I thought it was time for a dedicated thread for rumors and trade ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 These trade proposals aren’t necessarily great, but it at least highlights a lot of the teams that might interested and some of the pieces that they might be able to offer. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10096703-the-top-10-landing-spots-for-white-sox-sp-dylan-cease-amid-mlb-trade-rumors.amp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Orioles fan forum discussion on Cease. Interesting read for those who want to get a sense of how others might value Dylan. I will say these guys greatly overvalue their prospects and seem to think they will all pan out. https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/50042-dylan-cease/#comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 You would have to think any team trying to win is interested. They should get a decent haul for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Orioles make too much sense, IMO. I like the idea of the Sox getting some of their close-to-the-majors guys, because they can’t really develop the ones far away. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only challenge is Elias has been very measured in terms of go for it moves, although the team is now clearly in its competitive window so maybe he gets more aggressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 When the Pirates traded Cole to the Astros, Cole was a year or 2 removed from his peak in Pittsburgh. Still, they got a good haul on paper, although only Musgrove turned out to do anything (I think it was just him). Cease seems to be in a similar position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It was a small sample size, but Cowser looked horrific at the MLB level this season. Would rather go for Kjerstad personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PitchatRisktoZisk Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Failing to trade everyone except Robert is malpractice. This team will lose 100+ next year with or without Cease. Get max value now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Then they’re a bit ignorant to how trades work. Cease isn’t going to be given away for nothing. All that matters is what the Orioles FO views his value at. They got slapped in the playoffs because they failed to add to rotation talent, and it’s not exactly like there is a can’t miss option in the FA pool. Cease had a rough year last year but the stuff is still there and his 2022 performance was elite. If they want him, pay up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
