You are describing Blake Snell who the Yankees just offered a 150mil contract, and will eventually land close to 200mil.

And acting like Cease can’t handle non-AL Central offenses is quite ignorant. If you’ve never really watched him pitch, just say it. But his stuff plays against any MLB offense. 

 

Where did I say he can’t handle them? Please show me that.

Another Cease trade option going away.   Pitiful.

The Yankees could still be an option. Hard to believe they are comfortable with the rotation they have..Clark Schmidt at the back end and a huge question mark on Rodon. I would think they still want another starter..push Schmidt into the 6th starter position.

Sure but a GM giving up those players won’t know that so part of their equation is 2 years of Cease vs 12-24 cheap years(depends on how many players are being dealt) of these players.

And Cease is just a guy that has had consistency issues while playing in one of the worst divisions in pro sports. The stuff is there. The upside is there. The durability is there. But the results are meh and between that and only having 2 more years left, the value just isn’t what WS fans want and hope for it to be.

Sure but that’s in a vacuum of value, right?
 

 In the real world, this random GM you speak of may not be able to give out large contracts to starting pitchers and therefore can’t compete in FA with the big boys.  
 

This random GM might represent a team that hasn’t really competed for a World Series in decades and finds itself on the cusp.  
 

This random GM might not have enough pitching in his homegrown stables to compete with the big boys on the big stage.  
 

Cease at 2/20 just might be the holy grail to a GM in such a situation.  
 

This GMs rival might have just done Stroman for 2 years and locked up a pretty solid 150+ IP next year.  
 

Uh oh.  
 

But yea, keep trying to make the trade values equal in the simulator.

Looks like Getz will need to settle for a couple of hiiters from Baltimore or take a chance at the trade deadline. 

It will be interesting to see how he plays this.

If Yanks had got Snell, it for sure would take them out of Cease hunt. This signing hurts the Sox chances, but it’s not completely closed.   Just seems like it’s trending towards Cease staying.

If Cashman thinks signing Stroman means we will agree to a deal that doesn't include Jones or Dominguez, he's wrong.

Well, if he’s somewhere between how he was last year and 2022, you probably at least get similar offers at the deadline and what’s out there now.

Dylan Cease at the trade deadline with an ERA in the mid 3s and his K numbers would seem a lot more likely to draw a seeing return than Dylan Cease now.

With Pepiot gone (Sox preferred choice per Bob) and Busch the savage gone, LAD doesn't have a meaningfully balanced package to offer anymore. 

They don’t have the lefty hitter that the Sox would want but they still have the pitching.  But I have no idea if the Dodgers are still interested in trading for a starter.
