I'm just catching up on this but we know how Elias and company share information outside of their inner circle. They don't. We've heard from players many times say they don't hear from the Orioles abo

@Sports Guyis so prolific, he's the #3 poster on the Soxtalk thread despite joining on page 102 of 149. He's also the #1 poster in this thread, so potentially on track to be the #1 poster on both team

It’s irrelevant what the media thinks.  What’s relevant is the opinions of the other GMs who would like to acquire Cease, and the White Sox’s own opinion. 

True but Getz probably is feeling the pressure and will probably demand way more than Cease is worth. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is a White Sox next year.

Yeah, with leadership like they have, they're liable to be stubborn and get no deal or do the opposite and take a bad deal for them. It's totally unpredictable.

I worry that Dodgers will elect the cheaper alternative in terms of $/luxury tax and choose to trade for Cease over signing Yamamoto. Yamamoto ending up with the Mets. Plus, we can’t touch the MLB/near ready young SP that the Dodgers have as spare parts and can offer. They could give the CWS 3/5ths of their 2024 rotation.

Care to explain this comment?

Ripken obviously wants to see the model type trophy wife as opposed to just an attractive nice woman.   I chalk up another point for Cease that he doesn’t have Miss Georgia 2020 (I’m assuming his gf wasn’t) in his house and bagging the sexiest, most beautiful babe wasn’t his #1 priority.

I really need to go back and look at their SP prospects because I think this angle is a bit overblown.  I don't recall the LAD SP prospects as all-world by any stretch.  Miller isn't going anywhere.  They've traded Nastrini.  And the only other young SP that is clearly a tier above is Sheehan and I'm not completely sure he's on the block either.  The rest are basically in the McD/Povich tier or lower from what I've seen.

If a trade partner is zeroed in on SP targets even if they are mediocre, sure.  LAD has depth.

If a trade partner is a bit more open-minded and wants the BPA, then we've got the advantage.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I’m not sure why people continue to ignore the ages of Norby and Stowers and how that effected their value. The Marlins received a 21 and 23 year old for Puk. Of course the Marlins still ended up with our 2 “old guys” but that was a last minute trade. They may not have known they would deal Rogers at the time and Puk was dealt earlier and may have carried more value. That said, it’s very possible Elias valued the long term starter over the short term reliever..and I agree that’s a mistake.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      Ok so not to beat a dead horse, but AJ Puk got me thinking. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I’ve got a Gator bias, but to my eyes, what the Dbacks gave up for AJ Puk is comparable to what we gave up for Soto or Rogers. If you’re Elias, why not target someone like this on the Marlins if you’re already scouting Rogers? It just highlights for me Elias’ failure to address the bullpen with ML acquistions (deadline or FA). It is becoming a real ding to putting us over the top thus far and is definitely the biggest concern we have going into this postseason. I came away satisfied enough at the deadline but can’t help but wonder if we perhaps could have combo’d getting Rogers and Puk with an additional fringe top 10 throw in? I’m still hoping that Rogers gains a few ticks back on his heater (a la Tillman in 2012) and that our bullpen will perform OK in these playoffs. But as much as I love Elias, I’m coming around to the fact that thus far, I think he’s made some head scratching decisions/non-decisions when it comes to the bullpen.
