Not ending up with Cease was always a bad idea.

There’s still multiple good options out there. Kikuchi, Luzardo, and Fedde are all out there and I’m sure there’s some other options available as well that aren’t as well known if Elias is willing to spend. Would definitely be nice to have Cease right now though. We should certainly get a chance to see how good Elias thinks this team is based off how much he adds and how much he is willing to trade.

Hays was talking like they know Bradish is seriously hurt.

You still have Burnes, Grayson, Kremer, Irvin, Povich, and Suarez.  Kremer doesn’t get near enough respect here.  He throws in a stinker every so often but he usually gives you plenty of high quality starts.  Lets see what Povich can do now.  I love Kyle Bradish and when he is healthy he is one of the best starters in baseball but there is nothing we can do about it.  To say it ends our chances is just silly.  Give me two good bullpen arms from trades more than another starter.

I try to be optimistic and like Kremer but I just keep thinking about the absolute stinker he threw in game 3 of the playoffs last year. Hopefully Povich will help,  but I just don't see a rotation wo a Bradish level pitcher to go with Burnes and Rodriguez making it all that far.

So did Grayson but that was last year.  Now they both have that experience on their resume.  Anything can happen in one playoff game.

A worse idea would have been giving up Cowser or Kjerstedt and Povich +another top 15 prospect for Cease.

They reportedly wanted Westburg plus.

I’d trade Kjerstad and Povich for him right now.

The Rays have very little hitting so they are not a huge threat without it.   

Next year they will have McClanahan, Rasmussen, Bradley, and Springs. That’s a really good rotation.

If Bradley learns to command his pitches better he could be elite.

What if two of them reinhure their UCLs?  It’s been known to happen.

We probably should have just bit the bullet and had him get his TJS/IBP out of the way before the season started. If we had, he would be ready to return by around this time next year, instead he will likely miss the entire 2025 season now. 

And of course the year when we lose 3 of our top 6 SPs to elbow injuries is the year that the SP trade market features a guy with his own history of elbow problems and who has never completed a full season as a SP as the top available option (Crochet).

AND we also need significant bullpen help.

What a ****ing nightmare.

It didn’t seem like he had inside information. It seemed equivalent to posters on this board talking like they know Bradish is seriously hurt. When a pitcher with a recently rehabbed UCL strain leaves a game early with elbow discomfort, it’s not a good sign. However, I think Hays comments simply reflect that reality and don’t imply incremental bad news beyond the facts already known.

Shame. Losing him will stink.
