Could this be part of a bigger move of Dickey and Thole being traded? You trade those two guys for nothing as a contract dump, and that frees up almost enough money to sign Lester (AAV).

This move sucks, don't do it!

Concussion prone back catcher this is going to end well ?

Besides two days ago in my mind we already traded Smoak and Nolin and .... For Justin Morneau !!!

 

Isn't 7 AM a little early to hit the rum?

My thoughts are the Jays are trying to set themselves up for an RA Dickey trade. Dickey + Thole for help (2B? LF?) and get Jaso to be as mentioned new backup C/DH help.

Dickey will die in jays uniform. AA will not admit his mistake.

I mean i would not be opposed to this just because we need someone solid from the left side to balance the lineup. However if that was the case i don't get why move Lind. Jaso is what lind was a Monster against RHP and not great defensively. Just seems a little odd to me unless there is more involved like Sonny Gray lol.

intangibles bro

 

Rumor is Lind is a clubhouse cancer and it didn't help that he bitched on the team a year ago. And the frontoffice seems to be making a big deal now bringing in character guys.

Realistically, Lawrie should be gone too. But he's the golden canadian boy and is untouchable...

I think there's a pretty good chance they just dump Estrada. Jaso + salary relief for Lind + Nolin.

 

True. So save ~ 3 million.

He still has potential and value.

 

Lind, not so much.

There's probably "star" players who are much worse in the clubhouse than Lind and Dickey.

 

For what's little it's worth, I higlhy doubt Lind is a clubhouse cancer. He certainly has been on the same team for a long time for a supposed cancer. He does however have a reputation for being kind of a lazy player and he did seem very close to Lawrie. It might have been more about being a negative influence than anything else. The organization does seem preoccupied with providing Lawrie with the right kind of buddy. There may also have been some lingering friction between Gibbons and Lind. Lind reacted very strangely to the Gibbons re-hiring. He said something to the effect that Gibbons better have a better coaching staff this time around which was certainly an odd thing to blurt out.

I think your right in that Lind never had an issue with any of the other players but more so the coaching staff/management. He also has a history of injuries which I think the Jays took into consideration. I don't think him being lazy would do anything to Lawrie. Lawrie is pretty damn motivated and no one is going to change that. I still would have kept Lind though.

Fair enough...but at here's a question. How long do you go with a player that can't seem to stay healthy? I'm not saying now is the right time to bail, but at some point that has to be a consideration.

 

Why would we bail? You say that like he's some useless asset. He's already fairly useful as is, and there's potential for a lot more.

Until he has one good full season then you sell him high
