If a pitcher is needed sign Mike Lorenzen for about the same amount as Cease will make.

Clevinger would be better as well.

Either one would cost you about the same somewhere is the $8M or so range. I imagine character would be a deciding factor for the team so Lorenzen could be the preferred choice...

White Sox seeking their version of the “Teixera” trade. CY better not fall for it. Cease isn’t nearly as good as teixera and the prospects we have could be better than our Teixera haul.

This is true for the ‘98 , ‘99 and ‘00 Yankees who won 114 games, then 98 and then 87 respectively but also won 3 straight World Series by doing that.
Yeah, I think the Rangers are primed to be one of the exceptions since they barely snuck into the playoffs last year. I believe there is more talent on this team than last year's as well. The pen should be a lot better. The OF should see a lot more production.

I am afraid if CY doesn't cease and desist in his pursuit of Cease that he will cause us irreplaceable damages.

Surprised that Snell or Monty hasn’t signed somewhere. Start of the season is getting pretty close.

We dodged a bullet, or maybe CY laughed at their ask and was never going to give up that much.

I am sure Dylan Cease is glad the trade is done with. I know this had to be eating at him. It seems as if he has been mentioned in trade rumors for over a year now.

Over the offseason there was some talk on here about the Rangers acquiring Devin Williams from the Brewers. He has two stress fractures in his back and will miss 3 months. Awful news for him and the Brewers.
