Do you think that the WS want a top 50 prospect for Cease? Think they want more than 1 player? Edited January 5 by Sports Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 9 minutes ago, Sports Guy said: 1) I don’t really buy any of the Valdez stuff and I’m actually not excited about him but I have varying degrees of interest in Luzardo, Bieber, Burnes and other young unproven starters. I can understand Baltimore kicking the tires on the next lower tier of pitchers if Cease gets too rich for them. Nothing says "taking it to the next level" like hoping Shane Bieber can get to the all-star break in one piece. And if the top 5 prospects are off the board, maybe Corbin Burnes could record a happy birthday message in exchange for Joey Ortiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, DirtySox said: Really? Not going to pretend I know much about trade valuations, but I think Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert, and Colin Houck could be a fantastic package. In the deal they get I think it will be for a pitcher, a hitter and a third piece. A Mets deal could look something like Baty or Williams, Tidwell or Vasil and Vientos/Sproat. A Yankees deal could look something like Jones/Dominguez, Warren/Hampton, Beeter/Selvidge. I don't think it's going to be an all pitchers or all hitters package. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 50 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: My price from the O's has increased to Kjerstad, Ortiz, Beavers and Povich due to their p****footing. A Kjerstad, Norby and Povich package would concern me. Both the headliners have serious poor OF/1B risk. We've been down the road so many times. I am willing to take the risk on Kjerstad, but the supporting piece needs to be more well rounded than Norby IMO. Fully agree. Can’t go with two guys with 1B/DH risk.

Well, you could get Bieber and hope he stays healthy..if he does, he will be fine. If not, you likely haven’t traded a lot and can go after someone in June/July. It’s not where I want to go but there is some merit to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones has the body, is two years younger than Kjerstad, but he has yet to hit like Kjerstad in the minors. He definitely could in his age 23 and 24 seasons, but it’s not a guarantee. Just goes to show that no one truly knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any inside information. My assumption is the want the best deal they can get. The bidding and market will dictate what that is regardless of a fans or even a GMs valuation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. I don’t buy Bieber at all. Burnes maybe but it makes no sense for Milwaukee to take that stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 36 minutes ago, Sports Guy said: They aren’t being Moved for Cease. I think they could be available in some deal but I doubt Cease is that guy. He’s not good enough, cheap enough or under control enough to get either of those guys. But why? Show me your math on how you got to this conclusion. What is the projected surplus value of Mayo vs. the projected surplus value of Cease?

Sports Guy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 minute ago, Rey21 said: What is offer for Bieber I don’t know..and I’m not saying that to evasive. Cle can win, so I’m guessing they would favor ML pieces. There was a rumor out there about Santander for Bieber. I could see that. I could see them being interested in Mountcastle or Hays. Could see them interested in guys like Norby and Stowers. They can’t and won’t get a high end prospect for Bieber but they can get useful pieces for him. He’s a big risk.
