He’s on pace to be a 2+ WAR player and worth up to 20M this year.

That's the single most charitable take possible.  LOL.

BWAR has him under 1 WAR with 75% of the season played so not according to BWAR.

And since when has a win been worth 10 mil?

Apparently the lineup card in Norfolk has been taken down.

Damn, where's the "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" emoji when you really need it?

Not sure who this is, but he he has a blue check mark...

I would think they would have been "considering" Cease from the jump. They're considering everybody to some degree.

Personally, I'm not giving up a Godfather package for Cease.  He's not The Man for that.

I have to think a Cease deal would have to include two of Mayo, Kjerstad, or Westburg plus a prospect or two further down the food chain. It would hurt to be sure. 

No thanks.

A win was worth $8 million several seasons ago.  It wouldn't surprise me if it's actually a little more than $10 million now.

I think what the Cardinals got back in the trade says it all.   SG wanted DeJong to replace Mateo last spring.  Two wrongs don’t make a right!   Lol

If I read between the lines, it seems like the Verlanders are pushing the Mets to deal with the Astros, and that Justin's former teammates hace convinced him to return.

What time do we think we got Roch tweets throwing cold water on every rumor?

[CallMeBrooksie]

We need a second shot at hyped starting pitchers named Dylan

A report came out that the White Sox are taking calls for Cease. This hack immediately jumps out and takes a team in the market for a starter who has the assets to get Cease and puts two and two together in hopes of randomly being correct and gaining Twitter followers.

Here's my completely uneducated guess:   Cowser, Norby, Ortiz and 1 more down the food chain.

The price of a FA win has been stable for several seasons now.
