Not at all. For someone like Hamels it would be reasonable and teams are balking at paying that price for him now.

 

I don't mean reasonable as in good. I mean reasonable as in they overpaid in prospects for a player they expected to contribute at a significantly high level on the field. Compared to trade for an executive, it's apples and oranges. Duquette has no impact on the field at all.

I think it will be funny after the Blow Jays trade the farm for DD he ends doing the same thing to them in a couple of years and demands to be let out of his contract to become GM of the Yankees.

If a GM has no impact on the field why do they even have the position. They could just let the fans vote on whom to draft and whom to makes trades for.

While Hoffman is winning Cy Young after Cy Young with the O's.

Again I ask can DD just not just up and quit! Take this job n shove it Angelos! And then just take the job in Toronto? Really what's stopping him from doing so if he really wants the job?

[SAAviour]

Yes I do. I'm assuming most Canadian baseball fans outside of Toronto are Blue Jays fans, and would make the trip to Toronto to see the team play.

 

Sorry lads for being a s***** fan, I live over 2700 miles from the skydome and haven't been to a game in a quite a few years. Maybe I'll stop by when the O's are in town next.

[Rusty_Savage]

Search "Ken Rosenthal Orioles" on google. You'll get nothing but tons of editorials bashing the O's. Its what he does.

 

I never found anything of the kind when I searched what you said. Sorry, you lose

lol thats what i was thinking as well. Assume the Os would file tampering charges in that case but that really isn't different than Joe Madden is it?

He's under contract for 4 more years. If he quits, he can't just go take another job. The other team has to give compensation to acquire him.

Of course he can quit. But if he quits he is subject to being sued by the club for damages and certainly won't be able to take a job in major league sports.

LOL, Holy f***! I thought this guy was trolling us! He's actually that dumb!

Do you think Josh Donaldson can just quit the Blow Jays and sign with the Orioles?

That's weird because I searched what he said and found quite a few. Sorry.

“It’s terrible,” said a National League general manager. “A terrible way for Rogers to run an organization. Do they want Beeston or not? Make a decision. I read Beeston’s contract expired at the end of October. He was in Phoenix last week at the owners meeting ... I’m no labour lawyer, but would that not be an implied contract from the club?”

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Set her up with BBBB?

 

Nope it looks like a closet Raptor fan all yours! You two should be happy " Docking" together! Lol

[Spanky99]

Heh, you're reaching now, I can't wait to get out of my Igloo, and get back to my summer home in the T-Dot, amirite?

Hey BBBB, you should make some trade proposals around what you think the Jays should give up for Dan Duquette.

 

For the first time, I think many of us would welcome it.

 

Heh, you're reaching now, I can't wait to get out of my Igloo, and get back to my summer home in the T-Dot, amirite?

 

There's no such thing as summer in Toronto.

Beeston's contract runs out next October in which he's already let the world know, he's retiring. Seems that NL GM is as sharp as you, meat!
