Weird trade He takes some money onto his team this year in that trade (potentially offset by money coming back from SF) but removes $25 million a year commitments in 25-26 to Ray.

I know teams aren’t afraid to make make major commitments nowadays, but those massive contracts are usually limited to truly elite players where they should be very good with some level of drop-off. I’d have nightmares being married to Snell & Montgomery for the next seven years at huge AAVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, it’s likely the Mariners aren’t moving any of theirs. It’s possible I guess but not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like how it’s funny that options for Cease have dwindled away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=0&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&players=0&startdate=&enddate=&season1=2021&season=2023 Okay Mr. Sports Guy. There’s your list. Have at it. Corbin Burnes only gives you one year of control, a relatively massive prospect cost and $25 million price tag. Alcantara…Marlins won’t trade him or Eury Perez but will potentially move Luzardo, massive injury concerns, coming off a down year Luis Castillo…good luck. Framber Valdez…good luck. Woodruff might be the type of deal almost any team in baseball would make for at least two full years of control…knowing it might completely blow up in your face. White Sox might as well sign him if nobody else will. Pay Montgomery/Snell $150-200 million. Haha. They’re far behind Dylan Cease, btw. Kershaw and Urias, ha and ha. Bieber, well-documented…clearly on downside. More expensive. Peralta…see Burnes, depends what direction ownership goes with rebuild in MIL. Especially if Cubs don’t do much more than keep Bellinger. Musgrove or Darvish…Padres would have to give up at ASB and those are big big big contracts for pitchers that have already peaked in all likelihood. That’s why Dylan Cease is worth a s%*# ton to roughly 15-18 teams in baseball, if you think coldly and rationally about this list. Orioles with quite limited options financially. (Even if FG just posted an article about Gunnar Henderson and Witt Jr. being on Hall of Fame SS tracks...Balt still needs pitching and Kimbrel is already knocking you back 5 games in the standings, lol.) PS: Also a bit ironic looking at Rodon still holding at #10 after that awful 2023…shows just how good his 2021-22 seasons actually were.

joejoesox Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I think Getz knows that his asking price for Cease is higher than what teams wanna pay, he's rolling the dice until suitors start falling off the table, that's when you'll see the price come down 100% sure that cease gets dealt, about 90% sure it'll be for way less than what Soxtalk feels is fair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolle Tide Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 4 hours ago, ChiSox59 said: We agree. Time to pay up. I think you guys are going to end up being disappointed with the actual deal. Sooner or later Getz is going to either accept what’s on the table, compromise, or hold Cease later. The Orioles learned that lesson when they held Machado too long.

Soxtalk would be disappointed if it was Ohtani. People would complain that he is only a DH next year and the Sox have plenty of them. It a message board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
