I would love it...but I wouldn't want Hughes or Kennedy in return...they are scrap now. Anyone have an idea what MI prospects they have?
Hahahahaha

You wouldn't take Hughes or Kennedy for Ramon?

I'd take either of those guys for Ramon even if they had their pitching arms amputated. Getting rid of his awful contract and clearing space for Wieters is more than enough return for trading Ramon. A PTBNL that we never plan on naming is plenty for Ramon.

Hughes isn't scrap and Kennedy is far from scrap. If we could pull off one of those two it would be a huge steal. I don't see the Yankees ever doing that. I think we'd get a C prospect. Maybe another Adam Stern type at best...

We would be lucky to get either guy for Hernandez. You really think the final chapter for either of them is written?

I could see them taking him if we eat maybe half of next years contract.

Really though Hernandez has looked horrible behind the plate this season. But with the Yankees sniffing the wild card crazier things have happened.

Moving Ramon Hernandez and having the potential to pick up a couple of arms (I don't care if one of them IS Ian Kennedy) would be a total no-brainer.

Ramon's bat won't put the Orioles over the hump or potentially to .500 this year (with the exception of the HR against the Tigs the other night, that was nails). A few young arms, on the other hand, would help the Orioles immensely.

If Ramon Hernandez brings home some arms and frees most of his contract off the books, it's a no-freakin-brainer.

Mackus is exactly right. The auction for Ramon starts at zero, in players. If we get one offer, we scream "sold" and hand the merchandise over. If we get more than one offer, then we extract whatever extra AM can pull off and thank our lucky starlets. The real question is what we do if we get zero offers (how much contract is it worthwhile to eat?). Hard to size up his trade value at this point, as Ramon's bat has been cooking lately while everything else has been falling apart.

By the way, if Ian Kennedy were sent to us for Ramon Hernandez, I think we should all just agree that Andy MacPhail is the greatest GM of all time, and use this trade as the focal point of the debate. If Phil Hughes were sent instead of Kennedy, I think MacPhail immediately gets voted into the Hall of Fame. I don't see any debate on this.

Not that I ever see it happening. I'd literally take a D-level prospect for him at this point. And I'm probably the biggest Ramon backer left here.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him.

      Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.

      Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.

      Cease vs everyone else

      Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.

      100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
