AA "BlueJays unlikely to deal for a rental"

[Angrioter]

[Angrioter]

No Utley or Garza

 

great

[DuckDuckGose]

Good news. Probably part of the reason why they are taking a hard look at Lawrie at 2B. Offers Gibbons versatility on the field and, AA on the market.

[Jimcanuck]

No Utley or Garza

 

great

 

Yes, great

 

Jays need to get younger

[BabbaGanoush]

Super

[Angrioter]

Castellanos or Avisail here we go

[mitchf]

Yeah not until a SMART GM get a hold of Alex at the deadline and starts telling him some tale about teams that make the playoffs despite being out at the deadline. Alex will then do what we all expect and trade Sanchez for Beltran.

[8D]

Thank god.

[HERPDERP]

Anyone want to take a flier on Ackley?

[G-Snarls]

 

Good

 

Would be stupid to do so

 

But make an upgrade if you can

[KSaw]

Unlikely = Definitely?

 

AA always tips his hand right?

Trade Janssen and whatever for the best 3b/2b prospect available on a contender.

Trade Janssen for the best return period. Ridding this team of $4M salary for 2014, plus acquiring a cheap asset is what this team needs to do.

But ZAUN says he is indespensable lol. I agree, we have a tonne of great bullpen arms, it makes sense.

The RHP depth behind Janssen right now: Delabar, Wagner, McGowan and Santos.

 

Delabar would be next in line for closer, Santos has done it in the past and if he can stay healthy would probably be next in line after Delabar. McGowan and Wagner also could be options, but lets see a larger sample size first.

 

Seems like Janssen could go and the pen should get by just fine without him.

add Stilson and Carreno

[Chappy]

add Stilson and Carreno

 

Yeah they should be solid depth pieces in the minors to start the year.

[imsorry4beatinU]

 

Great news! Thank god no more JA Happ or Dickey trade!

[ace3113]

Players who can help beyond this year, like Dickey:p

Maybe he teaches some minor leaguers how to throw knuckleballs in the offseason and spring training? Our team will be full of hard throwing pitchers ( Steve Delabar program) and Knuckleball pitchers lol

Dying to know what AA has up his sleeve in terms of 3B...... clearly there's something brewing.

Given all the horrible moves and decisions of the last 12 months or so, it's likely that they're moving Lawrie to 2B for Izturis. Gibbons mentioned that they want to take advantage of Lawrie's range so maybe there won't even be a move made.

 

Anyway, if there's a move, say good bye to maybe all of Stroman, Sanchez, Osuna, Jimenez, Nolin, etc. I know it seems crazy, but look at how much AA's been overpaying by and this doesn't seem so farfetched.

Did you not read the title? AA "BlueJays unlikely to deal for a rental"

Where did I mention a rental? Besides, why would AA announce to the baseball world that he's gonna get a rental?

 

All I said was that if there's a move for a 3B, they'll probably overpay based on the overpayments of the last 12 months.

fair enough. I'm scared what's AA going to overpay for after Dickey and Happ failures

Don't throw good money after bad...

[Anemic0ffense]

Since when does AA do what he says? I don't believe it until I see it

[Deadpool]

Great news! Thank god no more JA Happ or Dickey trade!

 

Neither of those were technically "rentals"... So let's hope no trades like those even if they're not rentals!

I'm kinda liking the idea of a trade for Chase Headley with an extension built in...

[Terminator]

Stroman + Lawrie + Osuna?

 

No thanks.
