Anthony Gose traded to Tigers for Devon Travis

[Jimcanuck]

main reason, front office too cheap to pony up the cash

 

proof positive is Jays lack of winning bids for posted players from Japan

[SaskJaysFan_2]

You wonder?

 

We play in Canada. We play in one of the worst stadiums on turf. We suck. We really suck. We've f***ing sucked for the last 20 years. Did i mention we suck?

 

I'm guessing taxes are an issue. I'm guessing most players do not add ball teams that are located in States that have no income tax. What would a player lose in Toronto, 35%?

taxes arent really that big of a difference for most states (florida excluded), it has more to do with the perception of Canada some americans have. Eskimos and igloo's.

Braves are probably going to rebuild with their young core, and Upton is not included. Jason Heyward and Evan Gattis are also available but will cost pitching prospects as the Braves system is sorely lacking high end pitching talent.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Nope.

 

Nope, we don't have plenty of income tax in Canada? You should take a course, or look at your T4 or something.

[Ehjays]

braves have already stated that they are not trying to move Evan gattis....i think they still have 4 years of player control with him

Sure, but that perception could equal no trade clauses to the Jays. Plus, the reality is we have a higher tax rate than probably every US State.

The difference is negligible, and in some states, like New York, the tax rate is higher than in Ontario.

 

Take the income taxes for affluent Ontarians and New Yorkers. With Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s 2% surtax for those earning more than $500,000, at the highest income bracket, Ontarians currently pay about 49.5% in provincial and federal taxes combined. New Yorkers, meanwhile, pay about 48% after taking into account a federal and state tax. (Those who live in New York City are subject to an additional city tax which would bring taxes closer to about 51%.

And, I'm not a tax expert, but US citizens still have to pay the federal income tax for US as well even if their primary residency is in Canada so it's essentially double taxation. It's a big reason why many US citizens abroad are renouncing their citizenship.

[RealAccountant]

Americans playing in Canada are non residents for tax purposes as most spend less than 100 days in Canada ( away games )

[Boxcar]

Nope, we don't have plenty of income tax in Canada? You should take a course, or look at your T4 or something.

 

So I say that you're wrong, and I'm correct, then two posts later you acknowledge it's just a perception.

 

Take a seat.

Um, u r wrong. U.S. citizens have to file the return but they do not pay double tax. They receive a full credit in the us for the income tax they paid in Canada

and ownership is unwilling to spend.

 

there is nothing wrong with the $ amount Rogers is spending on the team.

[o2cui2i]

Are you so blind that you can't see the reality. Yes ownership and the mouth of JP Ricarrdi caused players to look dimly at the Jays. But that is just one of the many factors .

 

As o2 states , different country, Americans don't want to play outside the states, Turf, proven to be harder on the body, Rogers Center, why would pitchers want to play there. Money, we aren't willing to pay more for them to come, and marketing, Few can make the extra income outside of baseball

 

all of this can change if the jays make the playoffs. A playoff run has an amazing way of changing perception. Jays signed better FA after the 1985 season. It makes a huge difference in what players think.

 

Interbrew did damage to the team's rep that still hasn't been repaired. They threw away the good reputation that Labatt had built up. Labatt was a big spender that put the jays in a position to attract anyone they wanted. Jays were one of the biggest payrolls in baseball when they went back to back, they also had 4 million fans a year and were a cash machine.

[Qwerty]

I am a CPA and I specialize in Tax.

 

In the US you get credit for taxes paid to state jurisdictions as an itemized deduction on your Federal return (schedule A, line 5 of 1040).

 

Same idea if you earn in multiple states. You only get taxed on income once.

 

There's no such thing as double taxation unless you are a shareholder of a corporation.

Wait a sec, so the guy who was screaming out absurdities like "AA has been vindicated" just a few months ago is now questioning the judgment of others?? How ironic.

[saskjayfan]

The top marginal rate in Alberta is 39%..let's move the team to Calgary so we can get some decent free agents.

You are really a drama queen, come on the board only to insult posters. Take a break it isn't for a person of little patience such as yourself. When the wind blows do you get angered by it? When a child smiles does it irk you? When a old lady asks you for help do you reply in disgust?

Do I reply in disgust when old ladies ask me for help?? Are you kidding me?? And I'm the drama queen?? LMFAO

[Angrioter]

Devon Travis assigned to New Hampshire Fisher Cats (AA).

And if he bats .500 in ST he'll be our new starting 2B

proof? Prospects only get assignments after spring training, there is exactly zero chance Travis doesn't come north with the Jays or go to Buffalo

[RealAccountant]

Is this kid real?

[Jonzo]

Is this kid real?

 

Would like to see a few hundred at bats at least, but he looks promising..

[KingKat]

Can Devon Travis stick?

[JFD]

his approach looks very sustainable. great little hitter.

[RealAccountant]

Its so much more. This guy does not look like a rookie at all. He looks like a five year veteran.

[MatBarnes]

Devon Travis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anthony Gose

[JFD]
