Shark may still get dealt within the next few weeks, with Texas and Toronto in the mix:

Oh yeah that's right lol.

[KingKat]

Hopefully this is just the Mets putting pressure on Boras to accept their offer for Drew. Reportedly 9.5 M has already been offered and turned down.

I have a strong feeling we trade Sanchez+ for Shark

[TheBigSmoke.RF5]

I dont see how a trade like that can be justified, I know the Jays dont have a good history for developing and bringing up talent but I would rather take my chances with Sanchez than a #3 pitcher.

I don't actually mind this.

[DuckDuckGose]

Sanchez + (Stroman+RBall Prospect)

 

Ya the rumour was always Shark for Sanchez AND Stroman. I wouldnt do that deal and I suspect AA balked at the asking price as well.

 

Id also want Starlin Castro back if Im giving up multiple pieces. Something like Hutch + Sanchez + Norris + BP piece (Cecil?) for the pair is about as much as I would offer.

Sorry amigo but.................too late for blockbuster trades.

"#Cardinals: Trevor Rosenthal-P: Trevor Rosenthal leaves field, live BP with trainer after some discomfort"

 

Janssen+++++ for Miller/Lynn

 

Jaime Garcia will be ok lol

YES

 

One stop shopping

 

Problem is Cardinals don't have many needs...

[Angrioter]

Something tells me that the Cardinals aren't about to move a young and controllable 2/3 starter in a panic to fill a bullpen spot.

 

Rasmus trade?

 

Miller complained last year. Maybe the Cardinals will move him for that

That is a wise offer indeed.

This is moneyball.

Suggest add "Johann" prior to "Santana" in your post bro

 

Edit: I did it for you. LOL

Thanks lol

The difference between Ervin and Johan is just ~100M dollars and only about 13 Mph.

the man needs weighted balls

[The Cats Ass]

Wasn't his best pitch his changeup anyway? Sign him, Get Dickey to teach him the knuckleball, Pair that with his changeup, Profit.

This really saddens me. I was a huge fan of his in his prime. I liked him more than Halladay TBH. I feel like the downturn his career has taken will obscure how great he truly was.

In depth look at why Todd Redmond shouldn't be the 5th starter for the Blue Jays

 

I'm still not convinced he's worse than Rogers but ultimately that may only mean that they both suck.

Meh, he is an ok short-term option until the kids push him out.

I'd DFA Sierra before any of the pitchers but I suspect the opposite will happen because of the team's need to pretend they have a solid right-handed bat off the bench.

Doubt this works if knuckleball and changeup are same speeds. Though I know you was jokin'.

How about a gyro ball? Lol.

What's going on with Sergio Romo?

 

1.0 IP, 7 H, 6 ER

 

I know it's spring training and Arizona.. but that seems worrying. Makes you wonder if he's injured or something.

Is his velocity down or his control messed up? If not them I'm sure it's just rust

Maybe he pitched after a long night of hookers and blow.

 

Something you should try.
