Cease To Padres per Passan
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.
Orioles fans won’t like this but I believe Cease’s value right now is comparable to Luis Castillo in July 2022. The Reds landed 3 of the Mariners top 5 prospects (1 was fringe top 10 in mlb, 1 was top 100 in mlb, 1 was fringe top 100 in mlb) and then a lotto prospect. I don’t think Cease will land a top 10 prospect but 2 in the 50-100 range and 2 in the 100-200 range is certainly possible.
