Blue Jays worked on trade involving Sergio Santos but another player failed physical

[eastcoastjaysfan]

What does this say about the team? Alex is selling high on a reliever or payroll is tight and he's trying to avoid Santos' jump in salary next year?

[HERPDERP]

Is it really selling high? Santos did come back with impressive numbers but he still had a shortened season. But of course that's assuming you don't feel he can handle the rigors of a full, +60 IP season.

 

If he gave away Jannsen I think that would be selling high.

I like the thought of trading him for all of those reasons

Fatcow, the starter for reliever deal is only good if the starter can actually throw more innings than the reliever.

 

lol

[KingKat]

Anytime you can get an SP for a reliever you do it, you know this? There's nothing to look into we're stacked with BP arms, this bodes well on what AA is trying to do.

 

Especially when the reliever in question offsets a good chunk of the salary. That being said if the physical says he's not even going to start the season healthy much less finish it, it's a pass.

""Anthopoulos has tried to make things happen with trade proposals, including a recent Sergio Santos/Brett Anderson swap with the Oakland A’s, but it never materialized. Teams inquired about Bautista and Encarnacion earlier this winter, but the feeling is the Blue Jays would rather build around the power bats. Yet dealing one of them would bring a good haul to fill other needs""

Good effort by AA, that would have been a very nice deal. Shame it didn't work out.

Jays - Anderson

A's - Gentry

Rangers - Santos

 

I would have preferred to Gentry instead of Anderson.

I only posted once , I deleted the first one after Ang posted so that his post would get moved to the bottom of page 6 and mine would be to the top of page 7

 

I saw them both existing at once, lol. It amazes me that you think about these things.

 

Idk if I would've rathered Gentry. Anderson projects for like 2 wins in 96 innings, if we lucky out and get more than that from him he'd be way better than Gentry.

I project Anderson to throw just 50 innings.

Angrioter projections, 99.9% accuracy

It's seems hard to believe Anderson is only 25.

[Jimcanuck]

McGowan is a better SP option than Anderson

[Abomination]

McGowan is a better SP option than Anderson

 

I'd say they're both about equal, with a nod to McGowan on stuff and Anderson on feel.

"Anderson 50 IP" and "Morrow 15-20 GS" is easy to predict.

[DuckDuckGose]

You're a good writer but.................suck as a speculator.

 

I liked your Cahill idea Ang. I'm surprised more people didn't get on board with that one.

[DuckDuckGose]

McGowan is a better SP option than Anderson

 

Thinking that's poll worthy. I'd take Anderson but, IMO it'd be close.

[Angrioter]

I bet the starter was from the third team. Maybe the D'Backs (Cahill?), they seem to get into a lot of three-ways.

 

Rangers - Santos

Jays - Cahill

Dbacks - ?????

 

^^^ This ^^^

Anderson by far. Age, skill, everything.

 

Age: Anderson >> McGowan

Stuff: McGowan > Anderson

Skill: Anderson > McGowan

Contract: McGowan >> Anderson

Injury risk: McGowan = Anderson

 

(imo)

[DuckDuckGose]

Age: Anderson >> McGowan

Stuff: McGowan > Anderson

Skill: Anderson > McGowan

How I feel aswell except I think Anderson is more likely to miss significant time next season.

Ya that one Ang. Cahill is a great fit for the back of the rotation and should come relatively cheap.

Forever hate this thread

 

Thanks for the bump Spanky

 

Blue Jays send Sergio Santos to Texas but another player failed physical

[G-Snarls]

Well here's the answer to this puzzle according to Shi Davidi:

 

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/anthopoulos-addresses-deals-that-couldve-been/

 

Anderson, dealt in December by the Oakland Athletics to Colorado Rockies for pitcher Drew Pomeranz and prospect Chris Jensen, nearly ended up with the Blue Jays in exchange for Sergio Santos. But those talks fell apart due to concern over Anderson’s injury risk.

This thread gets me every time ugh.

I changed the thread title

 

Better?

[Maine Jays]

Because Sergio has been the pillar of health since he came back to us.
