Jays Trade Happ for Saunders

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Wow n f***ing wow! Shields please AA ! Thank you!

 

Would Estrada, izturis be enough to get Scutaro?

[ScientificReason]

Kiss my ass moron.

 

Is that properly spelt. f***ing jerkoff.

 

lol, some of you sure are feisty.

[Jimcanuck]

With Pitching which would you guys do for about the same money

 

5 years of Lester for $26 million per OR 7 years Scherzer at $28 million per. Instant shut down Ace of the staff.

 

OR

 

Both Andrew Miller and David Robertson for a combined 5 years $26 million. Set-up and Closer tandem would be the best in baseball with Cecil and Loup as a pretty lethal 7th inning tandem.

 

Should do a proper poll

[JaysAllMighty]

lol, some of you sure are feisty.

 

Just tired of the young punks that think they are smarter then everyone else. At 61, I don't need that s***.

It's the internet, sadly that is what you will have to always deal with.

You're one of the few of us on the board who can remember the last time this team made the playoffs...

[RealAccountant]

This opens the door for one of Sanchez or Norris to start, with Estrada ready to go if the rookie struggles.

[Abomination]

Shields for something like the Anibal Sanchez deal. And then Luke Gregerson or whatever. I don't care about closing experience or who closes.

 

This.

[jays4life19]

I think we have efficiently added enough wins where a Shields 5 year deal makes sense now. Man, I'm so pumped.

92-93, best ever years for the Blue Jays. Hope to see it again soon. That was exciting baseball. Jumped right out of my chair when Carter hit that home run. Touch them all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!!!!!

I enjoyed this gem on the espn article:

 

Chris Minassian · Los Angeles, California

As a bluejays fan, I'm getting dizzy with all these stupid moves. Trade Lind for junk. Trade Lawrie w 4 prospects for a 3rd baseman who's 4 years older than Lawrie, & now trade one of best pitchers?? I don't get how this is a winning formula, looks like it's back to cellar for Toronto

 

lirl at this response:

 

Mark Bryce · Fanshawe College

You are an idiot. Happ was not one of their best pitchers.

 

Edit:

Got beat on page 2

Ready to read insanity?

 

This from some guy that comment section from ESPN's headline on the deal:

 

"As a bluejays fan, I'm getting dizzy with all these stupid moves. Trade Lind for junk. Trade Lawrie w 4 prospects for a 3rd baseman who's 4 years older than Lawrie, & now trade one of best pitchers?? I don't get how this is a winning formula, looks like it's back to cellar for Toronto."

That's funny. I was drooling about our top 5 batting order, now I'm what do the young ones call this FAP FAP FAP to our top 6 batting order. f***ing AA, he's killing me.... in a very very nice way. Now he can put me out of my misery by getting us some top RP and a number one SP.

[JFD]

AA has so much time to fix the pitching now. we're starting to look legit!

[JFD]

AA is on a fleecing frenzy

[G-Snarls]

AA is back. Wow.

 

Best off season ever and it's not even close

[Dr Negative]

Saunders is an okay player who will likely get better in Toronto but he's not 'fap-worthy' imo. It's a good trade for us mainly because the value he will likely provide exceeds his salary, allowing us to make a play for someone like Lowrie and/or one of the mid tier SPs. I don't think this trade is that bad for the Mariners, Happ will be solid there, the problem is that they presumably could have gotten a Happ type without giving up Saunders.

[G-Snarls]

So this pretty much says Melky is 100% gone right?

[ScientificReason]

This offseason has gone better then I ever imagined, and with the money saved may be ore to come, legit excited.

Anyone who has played Spice Miner will appreciate your typo

Why on earth would you bat Smoak ahead of Donaldson

[Stangstag]

AA specifically said on the radio today that we are now "out" on Melky

[Mikeleelop]

Break up righties, get smoak some better pitches
