Sports Guy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 minute ago, ptatc said: You are starting to grasp the basics of negotiating. Now let's take the next step. It could go this way but it could also change where other pitchers are taken off the market and a team gets desperate and either meets or comes much closer to the original demands than they wanted to. This is why the team trading the player waits. Niw it could backfire and the team offering the best prospects pivots and acquires a different player. Now the the reading has lost leverage and gets a lesser deal. Any of these scenarios are possible. It is not a static process. Again, zero people are saying the deal should happen today. I know you enjoy putting words into my mouth but I have never said that and have said time and time again that he is playing this correctly. I have also never said who has to change their demands more. Maybe Getz’s demands are closer to reality than Elias, Cashman or anyone else. However, Getz will 100% have to come off his initial demands. That’s a guarantee. But whether he has to drop by 10% or 40%, who knows.

Nobody from Miami, Cleveland and Milwaukee has done that. I might add that we had quite a good conversation going with @Chicago White Sox over there. I am sorry that the conversation over here has taken some bad turns over the last week or so. I am bowing out of this discussion for now, though I might return if concrete reports of a pending trade appear from a credible source. I wish the Sox all the best in their efforts to get a good return for Cease. Fair enough. Everyone is simply getting frustrated. Guaranteed that definite movement with Imanaga in the next week will lead eventually to Snell and Montgomery, but Boras FA's typically go down to the last minute. Meaning this could drag on for weeks unless two teams are willing to meet Boras hyper aggressive price points.

WhiteSox2023 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 2 minutes ago, Rolle Tide said: I was just asking. Really, How is it higher? Basallo is the only player in that deal that any Oriole fan is likely to be unhappy with. It doesn’t include 2 top 100 prospects that you guys have been beating to death here as a minimum. Most Orioles fans named Cowser as a guy they’d be okay going in a deal. That would be our #5, #7, #11, and Urias. (Per MLB). That’s a lot less than you guys have been saying on here. Your other friend doesn’t think the current rankings are accurate and seems to think Basallo is untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that’s right, I forgot that you speak for your GM Elias exactly on what he will and won’t accept in a Cease trade. You haven’t provided anything but snarky ass comments, when you know absolutely jack s%*# like everyone else. Congrats! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolle Tide Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 9 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: The funny thing is that this Sports Guy rat and his other buddies here are reporting back to his Orioles message board trying to clown everything that is said here. Meanwhile, I don’t see any Sox fans posting anything at his Orioles board. This guy is a troll and should be thrown in the flaming dumpster that Getz is currently picking players from. Buddies? Uneducated guess that’s wrong. Haven’t seen any Sox fans posting there. A regular participant came there before anyone of us came here. So get your facts right ….cause you’re wrong again. At least twice in this post you’ve resorted to name calling. So I’m guessing your just a little kid having a baby fit. When I came here I was hoping for some friendly conversation and to see if there was any real info coming out from the White Sox side. Instead, it’s been a few good posters and then guys like you. Go ahead …. I know another temper tantrum is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I think it’s absurd how much he has changed where he said he would like to see a deal but I respect his thoughts a lot and just said as much. Hes a good dude. He’s like your opposite.

And once Cease is traded to a team that has a GM with some balls for a haul, these Orioles fans will slink back to their message board quietly, still clutching to their idea that Joey Ortiz will have massive value at 26. ?

Team one goes high, team 2 goes low (which we had to discuss to get you to say) then they meet in the middle. Your scenario totally neglects the possibility of pressure from one or more other teams involved and changing the entire dynamic.

Sports Guy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, WhiteSox2023 said: I disagree. I don’t think Getz is going to get his initial ask (which was likely massive), and I also don’t think he wants to play with fire and watch Cease potentially get injured before the trade deadline. 2 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: And what are Getz’s initial demands for Cease?

Well outside of trading for your favorite lollipop at recess, I’m not sure you have done much negotiating. But yea, there is no chance he gets his initial ask. That just doesn’t happen. And outside of that, I never said I know what he initially asked for, just that he isn’t getting whatever that is but you haven’t let facts get in the way of your own ignorance yet, so why start now?

WestEddy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 25 minutes ago, Sports Guy said: There is absolutely no chance any team meets the initial demands of Getz. Zero chance. I request that we start a new thread where Sports Guy just keeps repeating that there is no chance any team meets the initial demands of Getz. Nobody knows what the initial demands are (or were), and nobody knows if they will be met. We most probably will never know. I'm really disappointed none of you Baltimore guys knew my reference to Governor Shaefer's derogatory comment about the Eastern Shore. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
