Would you trade Cowser and Ortiz for Cease

[Jagwar]

I'd start with Beavers and Norby... and let them counter.

Might sound crazy but. I think I’d rather trade Cowser than Beavers.

No extension in place.  I can tell from earlier discussions that Kjerstad is a no go but folks seem more willing to part with Cowser.  The White Sox are a good match for Ortiz 2B/SS and Cowser (RF).

What about Norby and Cowser?

White Sox just let Tim Anderson go.  Their top prospect is a SS but he’s probably not quite ready and not sure if he’s a ML SS.  I would have to think Ortiz would be much more desirable to them.  Just guessing though.  The WS could use a 2B too so Norby might work as a piece but Ortiz can play either and better.

I think I would, even though I don't like Cease much.

Nothing is crazy if it has merit. What's your thinking?

Is Cease really that good of a pitcher? I feel like Cowser alone should be plenty to get it done. Count me out if it takes any more than that.

He turned 22 in August so he’s basically a year younger than Cowser was his first full season.  So, he’s ahead of where Cowser was at that age and he’s got less swing and miss.  The one thing that he hasn’t done yet is hit a lot of homers but every report says he’s got plus power.

I think I would be on board... IF I thought Cowser could bring back more in a trade. 

I just have this feeling Coswer is going to turn into Kyle Tucker.

I’d like to see Cowser get a real chance with the Orioles but it’s hard to see it happening especially with Kjerstad seeming to jump ahead of him.

In a heartbeat.  If needed I would sweeten it a little.

I know Cowser had only had a small sample of MLB pitching, but I am not sold on him.

Not shopping him?   Call us and make us an offer!   LOL.   PR at its best.

I’m guessing that would put conversations in a holding pattern.  It’s no different than Hahn asking for Holiday at the deadline last year, which was a non-serious ask in hopes of gaining leverage.  Honestly, both sides need to be more serious if there is any hope a deal can be made.  I’m hopeful that Getz will come in with a more realistic opening offer to all interested parties because he doesn’t have to win a sell side trade on day one to keep his job.
