Yup, same. Feels like 3 decent 2nd pieces and no real headliner. 

The fact that a 29-year-old reliever who walks 4 batters per 9 innings and rocked a 3.91 ERA last year was part of this deal...

This was Getz's wheeling and dealing?

With it being the Padres, who have a shitty lineup, you think they would maybe give a little more and try to get Eloy too, no?

Eloy would put them into the tax. Pretty sure they’re trying to avoid that.

Not adding Head or DeVrieze tips it slightly to the Padres' side.

Then again...who knows, maybe Wilson shocks the world, but SD has tons of questions across the bullpen and wouldn't have included him if they liked his upside all that much.

Reunited with Tim Hill.

Matter of taste. I simply do not care for rhp that throw 90-92, who's best pitch is a change. Track record in the last 30 years is terrible for the profile. I hope I'm wrong, but he seems like a better version of Jonathan Cannon. I mean we all celebrated dumping Mena over the fastball and he throws harder than Thorpe.  I almost put Zavala ahead of him for upside.

Kid had a 18.6% swinging strike rate. That's some elite swing and miss stuff.

And you also like a 26 year old infielder over a 19 year old lefty CF with multiple tools?  And for THIS team in its current state?  Wow…

Let’s just be happy that poster isn’t making roster decisions or Cease would have been moved for half this value 4 months ago.

Um, I'd take the Burnes deal over this. 

I like Hall better than Thorpe, even if he's older. 

I wouldn’t, but it doesn’t mean I’m pleased with this return.

How is one of the top pitchers in the game at a ridiculously low price with extra control not worth top prospects?

 

His peripherals were awful last year, as compared to the previous year

That mlb trade values site has the padres group of players valued at a total of 44.5 and had Cease at 42.4 FWIW. I was hoping for slightly more of a premium than that but seems like a fair deal for both sides.

For what it's worth, that site is ass

"That's a slightly painful trade, probably because I heard the (good) Cease news before I heard (the bad) who we gave up. Thorpe, Iriarte, Wilson, and Zavala. Thorpe is the tough one.
 
BUT.......we get Cease for two years, and our front four will match up with anyone. The Padres are a better team in 2024 than they were an hour ago."
