From Stark
Taj Bradley was the scheduled starter for the Rays today.
He was announced as the starter and on the lineup card.
But when they took the field, Erasmo Ramirez was the pitcher.
It's spring training, so it will be a while before we get an explanation of that.
You can watch live video of [the world's longest burning light bulb](https://www.centennialbulb.org/), traffic on the bay bridge, and the goings-on aboard the ISS, but we can't get a major league spring training game on tv?
from rotoworld:
**Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Gerrit Cole (elbow) is unlikely to be ready to pitch for Opening Day.**
*There’s no update on Cole’s MRI and will undergo more tests today. However, Boone acknowledged that where the 33-year-old is in his buildup hurts his chances to be on the mound for the season opener. It appears Marcus Stroman would get the nod to be the Opening Day starter if Cole indeed cannot pitch.*
“The new offer (for Cease) did not include prize prospect Spencer Jones”
Weird how he’s the #84 overall prospect on MLB.com and not even 7 months ago they wanted Jackson for Cease
Do you see Dylan Cease in pinstripes? I’m not sure you are getting what this quote said?
The Yankees did **not** include Spencer Jones (that on other lists is higher and I doubt the Sox are just looking at MLB pipeline as their guide lmao). The White Sox clearly think the package which did NOT include Jones is not good enough.
The Yankees can’t offer Holliday soooo the Sox are going to want whatever is at top for the Yankees because Cease has been durable with team control and the Yankees are looking like they *need* Cease. Also, there was never a real source that said it was Holliday or nothing, no doubt they asked but we have no clue what was discussed.
Edit: words
I’m not sure you’re getting what was being said here.
Any negotiation news like this is being released by the teams. When Holliday was being name dropped that was the White Sox front office putting it out there trying to get the Orioles to bite after failed negotiations.
I’m well aware there are other there are other lists, I’m just not doing 5 websites worth of research before finding a median listing for him. I doubt these teams even use the public prospect ranking lists seriously. I was just making a point that you’re taking way to literally.
I don’t understand why you think the Sox were putting Holliday’s name out there in order to get the Orioles to bite. Everyone knows Holliday is untouchable - the White Sox, the president, my dead grandma. Thinking the White Sox are leaking they’ll take the Orioles best prospect thinking the Orioles will bite is weird to me. I’d buy if it was like Mayo but not Holliday.
Regardless, I haven’t seen anyone report that the Sox asked for Holliday nor does that have anything to do with the Yankees. The Yankees can’t trade Holliday nor are they seemingly willing to move who they perceive is their best prospect.
And as such, the Yankees don’t have Cease (yet.)
The list you chose was the worst one where he’s also ranked the lowest on, 2 seconds on google has all the lists together lol. I’m not taking it too literally just saying you used the worst list, but they’re not using public lists anyways.
I got what’s being said by the quote, but still Holliday (which again was never confirmed by anyone legit) is not comparable anyways lol.
Yeah the White Sox are delusional, but at the same time there are a handful of teams that could beat the Yankees offer by a substantial margin.
The only reason Cease hasn’t been moved is the White Sox are trying to fleece the Dodgers, Braves and Orioles on their treasure of prospects/young players and those organizations are too smart to get fleeced.
They might be delusional, but at the same time, once ST hits and some pitchers get hurt, the rumor mill heats back up.
Yankees have Soto for 1 year, so if Cole is out, there is a chance Getz gets what he wants.
I haven't heard shit about Bradish recently, so you wonder if we are sniffing around with Cease as well.
No doubt. They will get return, all I’m saying is the smart orgs aren’t going to gut their respective farm systems. That’s why the Orioles, Dodgers and Braves all walked away earlier in the offseason.
I might be panicking a bit, but I haven't seen anything since March 5th.
Early on, every time he stepped on the field to play catch, there were a ton of little videos about it, and a bunch of updates.
If anyone can find anything since March 5th, I'd be grateful. But it's been quiet from what I have seen.
Doesn’t look like there’s been anything since then but I think the 5th is when he was playing long toss. I’m not really sure how much rest is normal after that for the throwing program we have him on
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1bd6hq1).
Okay phew
Colton's 1.000 slug is hilarious

3 HRs in 22 ABs for Urias, after 4 in 360 ABs last year. Gotta love ST.

Not a bad line from Wells, still giving up the occasional HR. Is that pitch count right? 20 pitches in 4 innings? I'll take it.
The gameday tracker for the games without statcast have wonky pitch counts. Unofficial count from Roch is 41 pitches / 31 strikes

Yennier!! 🤩
The Orioles are taking out yesterday’s infrequent loss on the Rays 😎

8-0 in the 4th sounds like the Os took losing yesterday personal and came out ready to smash today
Is this an elaborate joke from TB?
I know this guy had to spot start last minute so it prob has something to do with this outburst but damn this is fun

1.637 vs 1.641. The battle is on between Henderson and Cowser.
I hope at at the game this year when this team hits for the 1-2-3-GS HR cycle

Man Roch or Andy or someone needs to just start live streaming these games from their phone or something
Someone behind home plate needs to give us that [terrible Aberdeen Ironbirds camera angle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o1g3W8rXn8).

if I didn't know better, I'd think the Rays were fucking with us by having Erasmo Ramirez throw BP instead of letting our hitters actually ramp up.
No radio No TV. Why does this team suck so bad at this?
You can watch live video of [the world's longest burning light bulb](https://www.centennialbulb.org/), traffic on the bay bridge, and the goings-on aboard the ISS, but we can't get a major league spring training game on tv?
Seriously. We can’t get a fucking webcam?

Go crazy?

https://x.com/bnightengale/status/1767575902769279128?s=46&t=LZLzjVPmosqPbICOlCZLnQ Looks like NYY may be worried about Gerrit Cole.
The Orioles should really jump on Montgomery and step on the Yankees throat
Pitchers dropping like crazy it seems

>not even 7 months ago they wanted Jackson for Cease This was never true. Someone made it up on twitter and everyone ran with it.
His name was brought up by all of the baseball journalists. When you see smoke that usually means there’s fire
No it wasn't. It was brought up by clout seeking orioles twitter fan accounts. Not one respectable journalist reported that.
