Report: Ervin Santana to hold everyone by their testicles for a few days!

Ervin Santana trolling:

 

Started by following a bunch of Jays writers and reports, followed by following baltimore reporters and news on twitter.

Who knows how these guys think. You would think 14M guaranteed would be better than 13M plus incentives, depending on what types of incentives of course, but who knows.

 

The Jays should just add in 1-1.5M in incentives if he throws 200 innings. Win/win for both teams.

It's probably not even him on his twitter. Probably some yes-man just doing random stuff.

Jays don't like incentive based contracts.

Jays don't like incentive based contracts.

 

I can't think of a reason why

[JJippidy]

We're probably going to have comparable records. Taxes would be a bit lower it Baltimore... but come on. Baltimore is barely a step up from Detroit in terms of quality of life. Toronto is bumping during the summer. Easy choice.

 

Taxes should be higher in Baltimore than Toronto.

 

Someone could confirm this maybe, but the US federal income tax rate for the top income bracket is far greater than the Canadian equivalent, the low(er)/no state income taxes don't compensate for this in most places.

Neither can I

Dickey said that his salary at Toronto or New York is almost the same tax wise, maybe 20k more expensive in Toronto. I assume it's very similar in this case too.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Tick tock... tick tock...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

This Drunk Gary Thorne twitter handle is going to blow a gasket if the Jays sign Santana. He's having a meltdown on twitter.

[flafson]

3 min... I don't think it will happen by 5pm.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

What a joke.

 

Make up your mind dumbass.

[Anemic0ffense]

 

Guy is literally holding out for pennies at this point. So f***ing stupid how important this idiot thinks he is.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

WTF is the point of setting a deadline if you don't even abide by it.

 

BRO you aren't that big of a deal.

[fatcowxlive]

This is the 5pm announcement:

 

 

f*** everyone

[JaysAllMighty]

AA should just pull out his offer. F him.

It's way more complicated than this. Players pay tax to each state they play in. Soif 5 games are in Michigan, then they pay taxes to Michigan and so on.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Edit: Fatcow posted the same thing.

[flafson]

What a waste of a day...

[Sparky12]

Makes me not even want him

[Angrioter]

lol

Wait days for s*** a pitcher

[leaffie]

Maybe there is already a deal done, and AA has a trade to do before they make the announcement?

[Rajais Mitten]

I picture Santana literally doing this right now..

 

 

(if someone can help with if its possible to post the video instead of the link it would be a great help)

[ElNik2013]

He probably wants to give other teams a chance to come in or maybe they'll now try for a 2 or 3 year deal who knows.

[Anemic0ffense]

Reported.

[ElNik2013]

One good thing to come out of this already is that even Shi Davidi put AA on the spot saying there's no excuse for the Jays now. Even the guy at DJS said if they don't get him, AA and Beeston should be fired.

 

Now, I wish they would call out the FO for other reasons, but at least it puts pressure on them.

 

I wonder if Davidi will have a job tomorrow though.

[G-Snarls]

What a waste of a day...

 

I am so.happy I had s*** to do today and didn't have my phone with me

[The_DH]

I'll be honest, the Baltimore deal sounds like it could be better depending on the incentives and tax rates.

[o2cui2i]

I am so.happy I had s*** to do today and didn't have my phone with me

 

at this point I'm not sure I want Santana. he's been shut down by every team and now he's being choosy? jays need players who want to be there.
