.. it's mainly just desperation and booze talking.

 

I think this is what got us into trouble in the first place. I can picture AA and Beeston with cigars and brandy, giggling, getting ready to crank call the Marlins, and then waking up with a multi-player deal on their hands.

Between him and JJ that would be $23M off the books next year.

Close enough to cover Cano's five year deal with us.

 

BEt Cano wouldn't want to play in TO.

Cano and Bautista are BFF's

 

But yeah he probably wants to be a career Yankee

 

F%#ck. who could blame him?

Didn't the Blue Jays get 8 million from the Marlins or was that just a painting of an 8-million dollar bill Loria convinced AA was worth the same as 8mil?

 

I guess this would bring down Buehrle's deal to around 40 million, still bad, but at least a bit less to eat.

By how much would the Blue Jays have to overpay to get Cano or other top free agents to sign with them?

That's the perennial question

 

A good season with a playoff appearance would have helped

 

This clusterf#%ck of a season might make it harder to attract free agents

 

Plus I don't they don't want to give 25+M a year at a single position even if it is someone as good as Cano.

 

If Johnson does walk, freeing up money, they'll probably want to spend it on pitching anyway

 

It's too bad because Cano to replace Izturis would probably be the biggest upgrade the team could possibly make via free agency this upcoming season. Just don't hold your breath...

Yeah I think so as well. We need a pitcher too!

 

Not if Hutch gets back.

 

Isn't Lind's contract up at the end of the year? That would clear another 7M.

Lind can be kept for 7M next year or bought out for 2M

Good thing I was just 5 minutes into holding my breath, thanks!

 

AA must take the pick and let someone else sign JJ unless he can get him on a cheap 1 year deal. Let's hope he comes back and doesn't miss any more starts, but I have a feeling, given all that has gone wrong, that he may end up with TJS.

 

I'd say he needs to take that money and address C and DH. I know 2B is a hole, but Izturis is signed to a 3 year deal and if you address C and DH, you can live with his offense although I wish they could get a guy with similar offense, but better defense.

 

There will potentially be pitching depth next season with possibly Nolin, Stroman and outside chance that even Sanchez start the year at AAA. Hutchison, Drabek will hopefully be back so that will also help. On the other hand, others have pointed out that the payroll is already maxed out for next year so they may have to go with the same crew unless AA makes some trades.

You can say the same about any number of replacement-level arms in the game. He's 25, has had two TJ surgeries, and has absolutely no command. At this point he'll be lucky to have a career as a middle reliever.

 

Do you know Chris Carpenter? lol

If we're giving Buerhle 20m a year Cano deserves 100m per year

 

 

Cano best 2B MLB

 

Vs

 

Buehrle #5 starter + Pitching coach + Vetrin + philanthropist + bulldogs

Lind - 5M off the books

JJ - 10M off the books

Dump Romero - 7M off the books

Dump Buehrle - 23M off the books (eat most of it)

25M from revenue sharing

 

We could really go after some guys. Wow.

Oi.

 

Brian McCann really intrigues me as an option even though I know it won't happen.

Its happened. We've become the Phillies.

 

Wait where's our 5 straight years of division titles and a World series then?

At least the Phillies have Lee, Utley and Revere.

We're the 2012 Miami Marlins.

 

So all they need to do is find the dumb gm that will take all their big contracts in the offseason.
