WhiteSox2023 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 1 hour ago, T R U said: I would love to know what has been offered for Cease from other clubs. For most of this thread, I have been under the assumption that there haven't been strong offers and Getz has been waiting it out to improve on that. I am now starting to feel like they have gotten good, strong offers and Getz is just not budging from some kind of ridiculous ask he is staying firm on. I think Getz is crazy if he’s willing to risk potential injury and/or another down first half of starts for Cease. Getz could get lucky but I don’t think it’s a smart play. The risk outweighs the reward in my opinion. Edited January 18 by WhiteSox2023 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last three years he has had 32 or 33 starts. It's always a gamble with pitchers but with him it's probably a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touki in the pen and Scholtens in AAA (if he has options)? I think we would be perfectly fine DFAing them if needed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox should sign another proven starter like Lorenzen on a cheap 1 year deal. I really don’t want any of the minor league guys pitching for the Sox this season unless they’ve actually earned a promotion. Zero chance Soroka, Lopech, Flexen would handle a full workload anyways so I don’t see the harm in signing another cheap vet to eat innings and potentially flip in July.

Anything bad that can happen, will happen and their luck with injuries has been absolutely awful over the past few years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz could get lucky but I don’t think it’s a smart play. The risk outweighs the reward in my opinion. However the "reward" of trading him now to the best offer may not be that great, wherein you could then get greater reward if the risk doesn't manifest. Some people are saying Getz may have an astronomical asking price but I would imagine that's further from the truth. We've heard all about how teams don't want to part with x prospect or y prospect, even though those types should absolutely be in the deal and aren't being offered. Unless I'm missing something the reports are no one has met the price, not that the price is absurd. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Quote As for where he ends up, I'll go with the Orioles. They have prospects to trade and a need in the rotation. It makes too much sense not to happen. (Then again, not everything about the O's makes sense, like their criminally low $81 million estimated payroll for 2024. No kidding.

Cant really speak for the Yankees but from the sounds of it the Orioles are reluctant to trade almost any of their top prospects, what's "absurd" to them would not be absurd to the greater MLB community when evaluating a potential deal I'd imagine due to Orioles inability to reconcile losing top prospects.

The running theme of all the pitchers Getz acquired is that they were cheap. I think Lorenzen will cost more per year than Fedde’s $7.5 million salary, even if he only gets a one year deal. i think the plan is to start with this mediocre rotation of vets and replace them with the young starters from Charlotte if they falter.

I think no one has met the price because the price is absurd. I just don't see a reality where no one has offered the Sox a fair trade package, there is obviously something else that has prevented this from getting done by now.

You can use common sense and history to tell you that a durable SP that is cheap and under control for 2 more seasons with Cy Young potential doesn't get the cold shoulder when put on the market. The only reasonable explanation, or assumption, at this point is that the asking price by Getz is probably outside of the realm of reality at this time.
