Easily.  I would be shocked if the White Sox accepted that. 

They absolutely would not.

Let's face it. O's aren't getting any meaningful pieces today.

Ortiz - Povich - Beavers - McDermott for Cease? 

Too much of our high minor pitching.

Bazardo was DFA. They were lucky to get anything for him.

It's honestly a good trade lol. I guess the Mariners feel like they need ML bullpen depth. 

[Roll Tide]

So Bazardo was DFA’d to clear room.

I understand that, but people acting like this was a deadline deal are getting it wrong. We got something for a guy we were going to lose, we should all be happy.

I wonder if the O's would consider sending Wells to the White Sox in a package for Cease?

 

If they did the WS would still probably ask for a top 10 prospect be included imo.  It's not good when your headliner just got sent to the minors.

[G54377]

Yea it probably needs to be Cowser - Povich - Norby - McDermott

No, he was already DFA'd to make room for Krehbiel when Wells was optioned.

Ortiz + Wells + Fabian + Povich?

Baseball Trade Values guesses of surplus value for certain White Sox:

Bummer 10, Cease 50, Hendriks -5, Eloy 0
