Orioles fans telling Sox fans what prospects they are not receiving, as if they were the GM. Orioles fans thinking that there are plenty of other starting pitching options than Cease that they can acquire, even though their only acquisition this offseason has been Kimbrel for $10 million and their owner is notoriously cheap.

Don’t forget Orioles fans stating why they are our best option because of their better prospects. And then stating those prospects are off the table. Seemingly thinking that hypothetical offers beat real offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that there are a lot of starting pitching options that have a far lesser salary than Cease right? You do comprehend that easy thought, correct? And I’m sorry, I have heard nothing on this board but Sox fans telling me what they will and will not take for Cease. I guess the WS are going with a GM by committee thing since you are all saying that? Edited December 30, 2023 by Sports Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how many real Os rumors have there been? Seems like the most real rumor is the Reds. All we hear about the Os is that they are interested but not much beyond that.

Frobby Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I’m not here to fight with White Sox fans or call anyone names. Nor am I here to tell you what Elias will or won’t do. I’m just here to give you my impressions and get your reactions to what I think would be reasonable offers from the Orioles that they might realistically do. My view is that Elias and Getz won’t get close to their bottom line for at least another two weeks. I doubt Elias has put a deal involving Kjerstad/Cowser and Ortiz/Norby on the table just yet. And I doubt Getz has made any demand that isn’t at least two prospects that good or better and two other very good pieces. So, we’ll see how it goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Reds have to be out after getting Montas. Montas was in play for Yankees, so I think this moves them way up for Cease. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just tired of rereading the same arguments and pining for prospects that will never be traded here. If you paid attention to the leaks - we had a ton of them early that were “Cease is 90% likely to be moved” and “look at the great offers were Getzing”. About the only name attached was Atlanta. Then we had “The Reds asked but the price was too high”. The first batch was all the White Sox leaking to friendly reporters because they thought it would drive interest! The Reds article was a bit of triage after no one wanted to pay that kind of price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drafted neither and turned out to be right. That’s why Jacob Gonzalez is such a head scratcher. Their scouts are not awful, and yet… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told @Chicago White Sox on our board before that I thought Meyer was the one highly ranked prospect I could see being moved because I think the Red Sox are just that desperate. Maybe they will sign Snell or Montgomery (I think Monty is A mistake but whatever) and alleviate some of their concerns but that’s a team I could see taking advantage of. I think the Giants could also be that team in the NL too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montas is the ultimate crapshoot. He’s priced there at 2 WAR, he could give you 3-4, but he also has a serious chance of nothing. Interesting.

Don’t want to make another mistake like taking Moncada over Devers just because he was more highly rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
