Winter Meetings Thread

I'd rather pass on Cease and keep Norby, Ortiz, Kjerstad and Cowser in the system.  

I know you have to give up value to get value.  But the cost to acquire good starting pitching in terms of money and prospects has inflated so astronomically that I start to wonder if we might just be better off auditioning Povich, McDermott, Seth Johnson, Cole Irvin and seeing if anyone can stick...?  

 

I'd probably be willing to part with Beavers, Wagner, Fabian, Stowers and I can see maybe trading one top guy (but not Mayo, Holliday or Basallo).

I wouldn't trade any one of Cowser, Kjerstad, or Ortiz for Cease or Glasnow. Let alone, two. 

Now for Corbin Burnes I might consider Cowser, but the Brewers are expected to not have a need for outfielders. They need corner infield, a 2nd basemen, and good bats.

They love former O’s. Someone that is still there after Showalter has Oriole ties.

Momentum seems to be building for Shohei to make his decision today and Toronto seems likely at this point imo.

I would be hilarious to me if Dave Roberts leaking news of the talks was the deciding factor.

I wonder how much the additions of Shohei and Soto to our division will affect the ERA's of our pitchers. Glad we have the balanced schedule!
