Better than Kenny Williams.

 

Why would they require compensation? The job would be a promotion from what he has currently, no?

 

He has a contract with the Orioles (same situation as Farrell). They won't let him go to Toronto for free.

If I was the Blue Jays I would say screw you to compensation but good luck having your GM who has said he wants to leave to a division rival stay and run the team.

 

Nah, just pay the compensation. If you think you have the right guy to run the organization successfully for the next decade, and he actually wants to come, the mediocre compensation that typically gets paid in these situations should be an afterthought.

Farrell was a lateral move, Duquette would be getting a promotion.

Sure if its some scrub minor league player. Can he not just resign from his current position and leave anyway?

The compensation is only a matter of protocol. Ryan Goins or s*** RP.

It won't take a lot to get him. Go look at what the Red Sox got for Theo.

 

They gave up a scrub named Chris Carpenter.

It would probably be like a Steve Delabar or Andy Burns type.

This is such Blue Jays news when you think about it. Finally the Jays have a great offseason and then something like this happens... Watch AA get fired after he finally comes around.

 

 

Both Duquette and AA were with the Expos years ago so no doubt they already have a relationship. Maybe AA is recommending Duquette.

Yeah thats true. History suggests though that the new president almost always has some sort of a "regime" change. Sometimes they will wait a year or so to see what they have but it rarely lasts.

Is Duquette a good gm? I haven't paid attention to the orioles, and everyone says they overachieved.

 

Kept his teams competitive, made some nice deals. Had some trouble resigning players with the Red Sox, which makes me a little nervous w/ Bau and Edwin's contracts coming up, but that was a long time ago and he did resign Adam Jones. He's certainly better than Kenny Williams. I dunno, I think a Duquette/AA combo would work well.

Neither are the kind of innovators I want running the Blue Jays... On the flip side, Beeston is rock bottom. It doesn't get any worse than him.... Let's do this.

I like this, but I think I'd probably like any AL East GM taking a position with the Jays. He knows more about the Orioles top-to-bottom than anyone else probably does.

Duquette's a good GM.

 

Ryan Goins for Dan Duquette?

 

Don't know why this made me laugh.

But if AA is still GM, then Duquette should have no impact on Bau or EE resigning.

How does it do f*** all for the Jays if Duquette was in the middle of all of their transactions and trade talks, knows exactly what players the O's had on the block, and has knowledge of who the best minor league talent is in the farm system?

The way that the O's fans are crying about Duquette leaving makes me want him more.

 

They are suggesting the Blue Jays are scum for waiting till the winter meetings to do this. Some are also asking for Sanchez in return for DD.

 

Some guy on MLBTR wants Pompey, Pillar and Chuck LaMar as a compensation package http://i.imgur.com/py2PxcN.gif

O's Fans

 

For the records that franchise is a disgrace.

Steal signs, steal personnel, hell they cant find their own talent so they just poach other peoples. Makes me sick

 

Good old Blue Jays. Like a kid in a candy store with too much money and has no idea what he likes. So he just gets one of everything!

 

Make them take Ubaldo's contract...lol.

 

I think the idiots on that Toronto board are going to be surprised.

 

My guess is that MLB really does not want Angelos revving up the law machine. With the timing of this and completely unethical and unprofessional manner in which the Jays did it, I get the feeling we will end up with something better than they expect.
