Aren't you also unimpressed with Burnes or am I confusing you with someone else?

Correct. He should be pitching better.

Being out here in Padres country I’m pulling for them and Cease to get it together and make the playoffs. Competing against the Dodgers is about as obnoxious as the Yankees for us.

Folks were wanted Cease because they didn't know Burnes was an option.

We knew someone needed to be added.

As for what they said?  I'm not sure but it seems like some sort of odd gloating post over Cease having a rough patch.

There were many who wanted the Orioles trade for Dylan Cease over the winter.  He is not exactly pitching like an ace.  I personally thought he was not an ace.  2022 season looks like an outlier season for him.  Even with just 1 year remaining control versus 2, Corbin Burnes was much better deal.

Which part was gloating?

(sorry, I'm a little feisty today)

Seems more like an opinion to me. But you know what they say about opinions...

Presumably Cease would have cost us Westburg and Cowser, and maybe a lesser third piece.  Glad we didn’t do it.  I do think Ortiz and Westburg are pretty close.

Fangraphs can suck it.  We live in the real world, not some made-up FIP world. 

I know you know better than this.
