[RIPEXPOS]

I'd be fine with this. Navarro for Fowler?

[saskjayfan]

texas wants a catcher...I'd be on board with this if they were...I'm not sure they would be though..lol

Astros have Mike Fast in the front office. They won't have any interest in an awful framer like Navarro.

[TheHurl]

Would rather resign Melky.

 

If the prospect traded is not much to the current team...Jays should rather have a 1 year guy than tied to a LF for 3 or more. Dexter in a spot where he's going to see more FB's could BABIP his way to a similar line as last year with a RC power upgrade.

Doesn't make any sense from the Astros perspective either. They already have Castro, Conger, Corporan and Stassi.

Yeah some idiots just think we can trade any player to any team just because.

 

LOL LETS TRADE POMPEY TO BOSTON FOR PEDROIA

[Dick_Pole]

I love to see Fowler-Pompey-Reyes at 8-9-1. Or Pompey-Reyes-Fowler at 9-1-2. For a reasonable price.

It's early in the offseason bud. Guys can continue to be flipped and moved.

I think the point is that the Astros will have equally little desire or use for Navarro on December 2 or on March 2. The components don't fit unless AA finds an intermediate trade.

[fatcowxlive]

I don't think he'll be worth what it will take to get him. Dude doesn't steal bases that much and doesn't have good D. Melky's slower than him but will take less to bring him back and has a better bat than Fowler. Plus fowlers got one year left, the Astros probably had this in mind when they signed him to trade him after his first year for a batch of prospects. No thanks.

[Travis_Snider]

Would rather keep Melky also.

 

Not giving up any assets, Most likely better performance.

There's a draft pick tied to Melky

[Travis_Snider]

There's a draft pick tied to Melky

 

Thats true, but we are trying to win now and Melky helps with that more than that pick at this point IMO

 

I would like to see him back

[Angrioter]

and 2 or 3 years of an old guy playing like s***

[TwistedLogic]

Saunders makes more sense than anything, out of the names that are actively mentioned on the market. After Saunders, I seriously preferred Dirks/Pillar over some of the other guys being mentioned (Melky, Aoki, etc) so with Dirks gone, I'm hoping they've got their eyes on some outside-the-box names that aren't being talked about.

[Dick_Pole]

Step 1: Trade PTBNL for Fowler

Step 2: Let Melky walk

Step 3: Consult with Astros who they really like in the late first round in next year's next draft

Step 4: PTBNL is the guy drafted with Melky's pick once they can trade him

 

Everybody winzzzz!!!!!

Me too, I know it's selfish but a draft pick is not meaningful for a few years at least, if at all. Melky fits extremely well on this team.

Than why mention not having to give up an asset? I'll draw some ire here...but from a value end of things 1 year of Fowler and giving up Miguel Castro is better than 4 years of Melky and not getting the comp pick. Of course there are options better than both those scenarios

 

In the end I think Melky and Fowler will produce about the same value next season...but with the addition of Donaldson, I really don't think the Jays need to seek out an OF that produces the majority of his value killing lefties. Fowler for this reason makes less sense.

[TheHurl]

Then neither is the prospect you give up for another LF. I just really believe 1 year moves make sense for the Jays...don't give someone 4 years for that one year though.

Don't you only have 6 months to settle PTBNL deals though? Snag in the winzzzz

[Ziggyy108]

I don't think you can trade a guy you drafted for one full year after they sign as well

 

Could be wrong though

Correct

[Stangstag]

Still can't believe Atlanta traded Jason Heyward for Shelby Miller. What an idiotic move

Dammit! I didn't think of the PTBNL deadline.
