It depend on if Preller wants any value coming back. He could just send some salaries to us for negligible return.

Preller is the anti-AA... he makes deals just to hear his name announced in the paper..

True. I know some fans dream is the Braves finding a way to land Cease, but I just don’t see that as a viable option

Yeah bc Miller is having a bad year. Giving up the #2 prospect in baseball is a lot

The A's are waking from their slumber and once again showing they are smarter than everyone else.
Well done for them.

Yep. Same here
If this was any other team, maybe.
But the Pads love to give top prospects away like it's candy

Yup. That's a horrendous trade, even if what they'll likely get back for moving Cease and Suarez today. But the Padres do not give a shit about their farm, so it's not shocking.

Nunez is a sleeper in that deal.. he could be a really good reliever for them.. The A's fleeced the crap out of Preller..

Cease is an expiring contact, so it's plausible we could have him for two months to play out this year.

What a fleecing by the A's holy crap.

Yes. I just have to take a step back from that because I don’t know the chances of signing him long term. Because you know who is his agent

but has AA ever dealt with BorAss before.. I think I read something that he didn't draft someone in the first round this year because he was a BorAss client.
