The price for Cease is very high, and it should be, says Chicago reporter Bruce Levine. 

The only reason that asking price was leaked was because it was immediately laughed out of the room.

Yeah his tweet doesn’t make a ton of sense. Sox asked for that, but will ultimately get more? Why?

We shall see. There are a lot of factors that will determine when Holliday makes the majors: 1) Team need at 2B or SS 2) Holliday's AAA performance both offensively and defensively 3) Long-te

The last time the Orioles did anything of note during the Winter Meetings December 18, 2003.

Of course the system puts them at a disadvantage to do these deals.  I don’t see how that’s even debatable.  Doesn’t mean they can’t do them, but it’s much easier for a big market team to do them.

They had an “insider” on the WS board that said Getz wanted Cowser + Norby as the main two pieces.  Just saying but they treated this guy with respect.

I look at Cease and I think to myself that we have guys like Tyler Wells within the organization who have  outpitched him for before the arm fatigue happened. 

Cease is not so special to demand several top 60 prospects. We already have pitchers who can produce what he produces 4 out of 5 times.

It's the K's.

He's capable. He's also capable of walking the bases loaded here & there.

I would do this deal. There is probably a third and fourth piece to this though.

It's pretty clear that Angelos is going to be cheap.  With that said... we cannot afford to trade any of Holliday, Basallo, Mayo, Cowser, Kjerstad, and Bradfield.  Those are 6/9 of our starting team, paired with Gunnar, Adley, Westburg/Mountcastle for 2025+.  

It would be really nice to line up Luzardo/Cease in the rotation and bump Wells to the bullpen.

Don't think I knew this about E-Rod. That gives me a little pause on a long-term deal.

 A ruptured pulley tendon in his pitching hand sent Rodriguez to the injured list from late May through early July, and he wasn’t as sharp upon his return. The lefty improved as the summer wore on, but his 4.24 ERA in 85 innings post-injury list was decidedly less intriguing than his pre-injury output.

I would do that.

Just think it's funny when a reporter is so blatantly serving as a FO mouthpiece. "Price is high, and it should be." "Sox will get more as market plays out." Ok guy.

Levine is a Chicago reporter. Of course he’s going to say that.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?

      Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.

      It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?

      Here is a summary for you: The chances of us doing anything other than hosting a WC round are extremely low. Not enough baseball left for a team to make up four games.
