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

[Qwerty]

Lol.

 

It's not that crazy of a thought:

 

Move Donaldson for a Carrasaco type plus another controllable #3 starter (+5M in payroll)

OR

Move Encarnacion for a controllable #3 starter (+5M in payroll)

 

Then,

 

Trade Dickey (+10)

Trade/Non-tender Revere (+5)

Non-tender Thole (+1.5)

 

That's over 20M to either be spent extending Bats/Edwin and/or going out and getting another free agent.

 

The dream version of the Donaldson example for 2016:

 

Carrasco

Stroman

From Donaldson

Happ

Estrada/Chavez

 

Heyward

Bautista

Encarnacion

Tulowitzki

Collabello

Martin

Travis

Pillar

Goins

 

You pick one of Bats/Edwin to keep long term and either trade the other at deadline or let him walk for the pick if you are contending.

 

The dream version of the Edwin example for 2016:

 

Price/Greinke

Stroman

From Edwin

Happ

Estrada/Chavez

 

Travis

Donaldson

Bautista

Tulowitzki

Collabello

Martin

Smoak

Pillar

Goins
