These kind of trades I just do not understand. How can a ML SS be had for an A ball guy who is this old? 

Well remember, Bautista was older than that, so you never know.

But money is a big answer to this question.

Because the ML SS isn't very good.  That's about what we could get for Mateo, if we were lucky.

Blue Jays got DeJong for a 24 year old pitcher who's never played above A+ ball. Seriously? 

He's decidedly not good.

Cease would probably cost two of Mayo/Kjerstad/Cowser/Ortiz/Westburg/Norby.

Big difference between Mayo and Kjerstad and Norby and Ortiz or Westburg.

Well fair enough on those responses. Just seems like they could have squeezed Toronto for more.

Somehow, I see him hitting a couple of home runs against us tomorrow.

Apparently he broke the news of Javy Baez's contract terms. Over 8,800 followers.  Might not be anything, but I wouldn't call him a nobody.

 

If he broke anything he'd have more than 9,000 followers.

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

I could part with Norby and Cowser for him.

What do you think it would take to get Cease? 1 top 5, 1 top 10, 2 top 20's?

Don't know, don't really care unless if/when it happens.  Pontificating on what it'd take has always been silly to me.

Just wait a few hours and find out.  Lol

Granted. In this instance I doubt it makes much difference to Verlander. His wife, super model Kate Upton, may want to be in a media hotbed like NY or LA, not a horse farm  in Monkton .  It may not matter because she may already spend her time wherever she wants or needs to be regardless of where he is.  Was just saying if it a factor for either of them, it would be more likely to be for her.

Their primary residence is now Jupiter, FL.  Before that it was Beverly Hills where they sold their mansion to Timothee Chalamet.  Given what they both pull down, I wouldn't be surprised if they have several residences in the US alone.  As far as maximizing or minimizing media exposure is concerned, well they have people for that....

Probably, along with a lower level lottery ticket.

Yeah or I could even see them asking for Hall/Povich/McDermott instead of a lottery ticket.

I would assume that since the Orioles are so model based that they are likely looking to poach from teams with poor development programs.  I wonder where the White Sox fall on the development continuum.  

[ShoelesJoe]

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.
