Bautista to Phillies?

[Chappy]

Ditto. I was just telling my dad today that AA should be trading Bautista to offload salary and get a decent return, but that there was NO WAY he would have the guts to do it.

 

After last winter, I wouldn't put anything past AA.

[Abomination]

Maybe AA dumps the Buehrle contract with Bautista?

 

That would be rather intriguing wouldn't it, especially if Buehrle has quietly asked for a trade. Brown + Lee would be a good fit (even better if we could pawn Brown off for something good like a young starter from the Cards).

[Stangstag]

So... This is looking like a fake call

[Chappy]

That would be rather intriguing wouldn't it, especially if Buehrle has quietly asked for a trade. Brown + Lee would be a good fit (even better if we could pawn Brown off for something good like a young starter from the Cards).

 

The salaries would work as well. Lee is set to make $25 million with Brown being irrelevant right now and Bautista/Buehrle combine for about $31 million. Close enough to get some serious discussions going.

[Boxcar]

Ruben Amaro Jr is probably the dumbest f***ing GM of the past decade. He single handedly ruined a potential dynasty set up by Gillick via ridiculous contracts and trades.

 

This is the guy who is responsible for the Ryan Howard contract among a variety of other disasters.

 

If AA gets outsmarted by this guy... well.... I won't really know what to say.

 

Gotta be between him and Ed Wade. Bavasi was pretty bad too.

[Stangstag]

I highly highly doubt that AA would trade Bautista

[fatcowxlive]

 

1 hour ago, nothing since.

 

Once Kenny Ken puts the final word on it, this will be done. I will be awake anxiously waiting for his response.

 

I think we were hoaxed

[Ziggyy108]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang not happening

[guylaroche5]

this rumor will die, there is no way AA is this retarded

[TheHurl]

Can we dream of a Brown, Melky Outfield? If I really believed that the Jays would consider moving Brown to DH at least half the time I wouldn't even think it's horrible if the other piece has some value. Teams could stack lefties against us Lind, Brown, Gose...leaves us very few options. We only hit 44 HR's off lefties this year and 19 of those came from players who likely wouldn't be with the team anymore...if this rumour were to be real

[TheHurl]

this rumor will die, there is no way AA is this retarded

 

27 HR's in 140 games, former top 5 prospect...that's exactly the kind of player our retarded GM would pursue. He just needs the right pitching name to come up an he's in.

[Dylan]

It's hard to picture the jays without Bautista. The casuals would go insane!

[fatcowxlive]

This guy is semi credible though?;he's not just some random ass guy

 

Like Rogers centre employee from a few years ago, or Gavin Floyd's wife's cousin

 

Well I think he'll lose all his credibility after tonight. JP Morosi and Kenny Rosy, both known to retweet and comment on *almost* every accurate rumor, decided to pass on this. Also so did MLBTR. That's saying a lot right there lol

[Ziggyy108]

Did this homie tweet this then just disappear. What a an *******!

[Ziggyy108]

It is very smart to move a declining yet still highly valued JB

hilarious Dom Brown is clicking favourite on almost every tweet from fans, positive or negative

THROW WATER ON THE ENTIRE f***ING THING RIGHT NOW.

 

 

goodbye.

Absolutely...but not if you aren't going to strengthen a weakness. As bad as it would be for the Jays it really is 100 times worse for the Phils. You only trade Bautista to rebuild or to continue the all in mentality and trade him to fill a pitching need.

Jays don't have issues with a Boras player...it's Boras that rightfully won't deal with the Jays.

Doesn't matter. The Jays would control him for 4 years. They can simply pay him the min next year, then take him to arbitration for the following 3 years if Boras wants to be an idiot.

[TheHurl]

Beeston broke code and cost a Boras client a year of college. It was a BS move and Boras will make him pay as long as he's here. As for my photo, I don't hide it ever that I'm a Boras guy, think he's probably one of the smartest guys in the game. I can't say for certain that the Jays would deal for a Boras guy but I do believe that Beeston was in the wrong with Paxton and Boras will never forget it.

Which means no Choo.

 

No Choo = no possible replacement for Bautista

 

I don't think Bautista should be traded, regardless of how old he is/declining. Unless we get a young, promising, MLB ready RF and another hole fixed.

Doesn't add up. Boras doesn't do any teams any favours -- he's an agent. As such, his job is to make the most money for his client and, implicitly, himself. He'd be a poor and likely unique agent if he turned down the best offer just because it was coming from the Jays. What's more, the Jays are one of the teams with a big chequebook; if he doesn't involve them in the mix with his clients, he's losing leverage at the very least.

 

Boras may be sore about the Paxton thing, but surely the best way to strike back is to lumber the Jays with a heavy contract than to hurt your own business.

[Dick_Pole]

LOL this f***ing guy actually trolls his own fans by cheering on the Cowboys against the Eagles in Philly and posts pics of it on Twitter. This is EXACTLY what we need on this team another Twitter internet warrior!

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

Won't happen. Not concerned.

 

Agree this particular deal is not happening.

 

However, I previously thought it was very, very unlikely that Bautista gets traded. Now I'm thinking 50/50. I actually do think AA is shopping him to see what he could get. A quality starter and younger OF and he pulls the trigger, sending Bautista and another piece the other way.

holy f***ing s*** this was not what I expected to wake up to

 

at least this is BS

We better get Cliff Lee.

 

Brown isn't very good... he has power, that's it.
