Jays get Josh Donaldson for Lawrie, Graveman, Nolin and Barreto

[dineke]

Omg i love aa again!!!

[HERPDERP]

I don't know a bout you guys, but we raped Beane here.

 

How many years of control?

[GD]

He seems like a great fantasy candidate.

 

Lmao

 

Speaking of, there goes any chance I had at trading for Donaldson. f***.

[GD]

I don't know a bout you guys, but we raped Beane here.

 

How many years of control?

 

4. Lawrie only has 3 lol

[fatcowxlive]

Wait why do you guys hate this? Despite Lawrie having lots of potential, the dude's an injury bug. At least Donaldson has proven the last two years that he's above average on both sides of the game... also stays healthy relatively better

[Abomination]

Donaldson for Lawrie, Barreto, Graveman+

 

If the other plus isn't someone like Sanchez, Stroman, or Norris, this is massive.

[The Cats Ass]

Including donaldson's salary, not a fan of this.

 

Isn't Donaldson going to just his first year of Arb this winter as a super 2?

[Chappy]

We got f***ing raped.

 

Are you for real?

[burlingtonbandit]

If its just those 3 players for Donaldson Im really happy with the deal.

Donaldson isn't above average. He's a bonafide superstar.

I swear he had another year left before arb?

 

Donaldson is Lawrie's ceiling. Nice.

I'm rock hard right now.

Reyes

Martin

Bautista

EE

Donaldson

etc

 

Fapfapfapfap

[gbill2004]

Donaldson has a WAR of an average of 7 over the last 2 years. Lawrie was 1.5 during same period.

[Eddiek19]

Donaldson in Rogers Center! Like it

[HERPDERP]

Donaldson - MVP candidate hitting in a pitcher's ball park

 

for

 

Lawrie - potential stud 3rd baseman with injuries but potential

Gravemen - 4th/5th starter fodder, had no room on the club

Barretto - valuable prospect

 

I think it's lopsided in favor of us.

[Atothe]

This might be a win win for both teams. If lawrie stays healthy

[The Cats Ass]

If the other plus isn't someone like Sanchez, Stroman, or Norris, this is massive.

 

Ya, I'm slightly worried about the other +. Especially after Syndergarrd was a + in the Dickey trade.

[Boxcar]

Jonn, as usual, is an idiot. This is a slam dunk, 100%.

 

Holy f*** idk what happened to AA but he is killing it this offseason. I feel rejuvenated, Martin was one thing but this trade is f***ing bonkers.

[HERPDERP]

Sean Nolin included.

 

I don't mind. Though depth took a hit.

[fatcowxlive]

Donaldson isn't above average. He's a bonafide superstar.

 

I was just underscoring it, but holy crap how do people hate this move. Lawrie is as fragile as a glass, and has flopped over the past 2 years

[Caper]

Wow Barreto makes it tough to swallow

 

Traded another f***ing postion player prospect.

 

Fully expect barreto to be a star in this league

 

 

 

Kid is only 18. We will all be dead by the time he is ready.

[metafour]

Donaldson isn't above average. He's a bonafide superstar.

 

Yup. WAR around 7 the last two years. Plus you have to expect his hitting will get even better in Rogers.

[BlueJayWay]

I like the deal. Josh Donaldson is a monster, and is still only in pre-arb years.

[burlingtonbandit]

Sean Nolin too. Deal is done.

[The Cats Ass]

I swear he had another year left before arb?

 

Donaldson is Lawrie's ceiling. Nice.

 

Super 2...

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Barreto was to much. He was our top postion player prospect in my opinion. Its going to take me some time.

If it makes you feel better, at least Donaldson is the type of player worth giving up a top prospect for, as opposed to the Marlins' and Mets' used trash.

[KingKat]

Barreto is really far away and won't provide power and won't stick at ss. The team wasn't going to get Donaldson without giving up a top prospect and Barreto hurts the least of any of the good prospects. Stroman, Sanchez, Norris and Pompey are still in the fold, and Brett Lawrie was upgraded to Donaldson. That's pretty f***in' good.

This is what does it for me! The fact he's putting up these numbers in the Coliseum... Imagine him in the RC! Wow!

[baubau]

Martin? Donaldson? I am now convinced that BTS has a mind control device which he is using on AA.

I love it! <3
