Sandoval-Red Sox: Angrioter, baseballsss, boxcar, frenchsoup, Hawkins, rabbit, Sammy225, TheHurl.

Updated with today's transactions.

 

The Blue Jays did NOT select anyone in the Rule 5 draft. The Crowd believed they would.

[NorthOf49]

With the Melky signing, we now have sAAviour, Lawrie22 and jays4life19 all tied for first at 89 points!

Thank god.

[JaysRap]

I'm getting wrecked this year. I should just tank for high draft pick at this point.

[NorthOf49]

MLBTR and I are the only ones with Santos-Dodgers.

 

An amazing signing for Los Angeles. A potential ace reliever on just a minor-league deal? Wow. Rays should have picked Santos over Frieri for their bargain bin reliever signing.

 

 

Many entrants have Kuroda-Japan. sAAviour retains his lead.

[jays4life19]

Hopefully whoever wins lives in North America. It's going to be a pain in the ass to send a gift card to like the Dominican. Please Ang don't win.

PayPal brotha. Globalización!

[jays4life19]

PayPal brotha. Globalización!

 

Yeah i don't do paypal. But some sort of wire transfer will work. I don't think you would have any use for a jays gift card anyways. lol.

 

Moot point anyways since i'm going to win.

Not sure I'd call Santos an amazing signing. The guys put up 2.5 fWAR for his career and can't control his best pitch. I'm happy we won't be seeing him in a Jays uniform.
