Cubs, Blue Jays at a stalemate for Jeff Samardzija

The Cubs and Blue Jays can't agree on a deal for pitcher Jeff Samardzija, according to FoxSports.com.

The Cubs are willing to make a deal, but Toronto is hesitant to meet Chicago's demands. The Cubs are reportedly asking for three prospects, pitcher Aaron Sanchez, pitcher Daniel Norris and outfielder Dalton Pompey. The Blue Jays are rumored to be willing to part with maybe one or two of those players, but do not want to deal all three. Samardzija is expected to be dealt by the trade deadline. He owns a 2.53 ERA over 103 innings.

 

It's my first post, so be easy on me! Thx

yeah i read that, i don't see any other team who could really match that offer so it's probably an over pay.

[HERPDERP]

Oh man that would hurt.

 

We really don't have any other outstanding bat in the system, do we? I guess Barreto would be up top, but still.

 

I also can't stomach giving up two of our best pitching prospects.

 

I'd be comfortable with Sanchez and Pompey.

Good first post. As long as you'rr clear on the source of your information, no one should have an issue with a post like this. I guess you could have posted it in an existing thread about Samaridzija but the thread that gets bumped periodically is really old and no one could blame you for not finding it. If anyone thinks it's a big deal the threads can always be merge but I don't know why a new poster would want to read through pages of pages of speculation that go back to the off-season. I prefer this fresh start actually.

They can have Sanchez. I wouldn't deal all 3 either.

 

Aaron Sanchez, Kyle Drabek and D.J Davis would be my offer.

[Angrioter]

Sanchez/Norris + Pompey + s*** (Cole, G-Murphy, Glenn)

[KingKat]

Sanchez/Norris + Pompey + s*** (Cole, G-Murphy, Glenn)

 

I'd rather trade both Sanchez and Norris than move Pompey. The OF situation going forward is pretty bleak.

[ElNik2013]

I'd rather get a legit 2B/SS and guy like McCarthy than give up Sanchez, Norris and Pompey.

 

This seems legit though as AA went to watch Sanchez and Pompey play.

[Angrioter]

Right now....

Aaron Sanchez, Kyle Drabek and D.J Davis = Joe Blanton

[ElNik2013]

Hey, in the offseason, the Cubs wanted Sanchez/Stroman and Hutchison +, I guess they've lowered their demands.

[G-Snarls]

I'll give up those 3 only if Cubs give up someone who helps our infield situation too

 

Otherwise 2 of those 3 max

 

So... probably won't happen

Even they have to realize that trading two rotations pieces for one makes zero sense from a Jays perspective.

[Angrioter]

Sanchez, Norris and Pompey for Shark and Alcantara

[KingKat]

You'd rather move the better player because of position need? No thanks.

 

Better player my ass. Pompey has a better floor than either of the pitchers. They may have higher ceilings but they are more than likely both busts. I really wouldn't feel bad about moving them both for a year and a half of Shark.

[jays4life19]

The only one I can think of is Valbuena....yuck.

 

Not that the Cubs would trade him but Starlin Castro would be an asset.

[Angrioter]

The Blue Jays again had multiple scouts in attendance for Jeff Samardzija‘s outing yesterday, including pro scouting director Perry Minasian, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Much of the chatter regarding Samardzija to this point has included speculation when it comes to Chicago’s asking price, but Morosi hears “strong indications” that the Cubs would deal Samardzija for a package highlighted by right-hander Aaron Sanchez, left-hander Daniel Norris and center fielder Dalton Pompey.

 

Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos has maintained that he won’t include all three of those prospects in a deal for Samardzija or any other available pitcher — even David Price — according to Morosi’s report. He also notes that as much as the Blue Jays like Samardzija, they may prefer Price and Philadelphia southpaw Cole Hamels (though the latter isn’t guaranteed to be available).

[ElNik2013]

I want to keep the youth, especially the 3 rumoured here since 2 of them are at AA and the 3rd (Pompey) arguably should be promoted to AA.

 

Should've spent the money in the off season...

[Dylan]

Not worth all 3 of those. and I think Pompey is going to be great, I'd like to hold on to him.

Under the category of No s*** Sherlock.

Darwin Barney? I haven't checked the #'s but if I recall he plays 2B just like how Francisco plays 3B.

[jays_fever]

How is that an overpay. He's signed for next season as well is he not?

[jays4life19]

Darwin Barney? I haven't checked the #'s but if I recall he plays 2B just like how Francisco plays 3B.

 

Lol....not at all.

 

Barney is more like Ryan Goins. Elite with the glove but can't hit

[glory]

Sanchez, Pompey and Norris should almost be enough to pry both Zobrist and Price from the Rays. (We'd likely have to add another piece)

 

That would be a far better option than "pay me 20+ mill a year" Shark

 

My thoughts exactly. If AA is going to gut the farm system to win now, then trade your top guys for Price and Zobrist. Adds way more wins than Shark, and we know those guys (Price most importantly) can pitch in the AL East.

[HERPDERP]

Lol....not at all.

thanks for the correction, I mixed up Castro/Barney

[glory]

Though I will add I would prefer to keep the prospects. I don't want there to be a window period. I'm just saying if they are adamant about trading prospects for short term gain, then make sure it is for elite talent.

[Angrioter]

Sent you a DM

Unforgivable mistake

[ElNik2013]

No thanks, in Morrow we trust!

[G-Snarls]

We could have just signed a FA starter or 2B this off season so that we only needed one of those things instead of 2.

 

Just sayin'...

[G-Snarls]

Derp Message?

[Buster]

These trade threads stress me out. I normally don't keep up with our overall farm system, so the only players I hear about are our bigger profile prospects. So I never know if we have a prospect that replaces guys like Norris or Sanchez.
