Blue Jays seeking replacement for Beeston

[jays_fever]

Lol @ the guy wishing us to stay warm. Real men don't complain about it being cold.

 

I bitch about the cold every day, can't stand it lol . COME AT ME.

 

That being said I'd rather freeze here than live in Baltimore

[Jonzo]

Let's get one thing straight: the city of Baltimore is a steaming pile of dog s***.

[Caper]

If I was god... I'd manipulate events and Ed Rogers would be traded somehow to the Orioles for their top prospect.

[GD]

Idk how many of you guys have actually been to Baltimore but yeah, not a pretty place.

 

Realistically, the worst tampering charge they can lay on us is slashing out 2015 IFA bonus pool, which would mean no Guerrero Jr., probably, which would suck, but I'd take keeping Hoffman over Guerrero.

DD > Hoffman+Towers/Minaya, but.....

 

I really like Hoffman, even before 2014 draft

But I want all of our specs....Either way this is huge amateur hour by Edwardo and Rogers f***. These guys are business guys apparently and all they do is go behind peoples backs and tell lies....well I guess they get what is coming to them in a way but it's really the fans that lose in the end.

If they started there search properly at the end of the season we could have had like Zahidi or Forst or something like that no?

yep, but it's too late.

[bendera3]

If we do end up "trading" for DD I hope that Rogers has enough sense to let AA try to do the negotiation. I know that DD would be his boss but AA has shown that he is a good negotiator.

[GNick49]

If Hoffman was used as trade bait what could the Blue Jays get for him? If there is a sense that this were to actually happen AA should just f*** Rogers up the ass and trade Hoffman for something actually good.

 

However, Rogers would probably then trade away Stroman or Norris...

 

Can't trade draft picks for 1 year.

[BTS]

Hiring a young assistant GM to be team president would be ridiculous, as would promoting AA into the position. I don't faukt them for not chasing Zaidi.

[bronson44]

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

It takes a special kind of dumb to pay money to share your opinions with strangers on the internet so it should not be surprising.

There both 20x smarter then Beeston I'd take it.

They're (hey, if we're going to do it to the O's... uhhh... people... we should at least be consistent...)

It's very, very, difficult to believe #Bluejays would give up Jeff Hoffman for Duquette. But remember, GMs aren't doing the negotiating.

[Angrioter]

2015 Jays 1st rounder for Duquette, maybe

[Deadpool]

a) You know that's not possible.

 

Why are we discussing not only ignoring established precedent for executive compensation, but blowing the existing precedent out of the water? That would be like "well, I know a contract for this type of player is generally in the $50M/4 year range, but I want to offer him $200M/4 instead, for no discernible reason."

[saskjayfan]

What effect can Duquette have on the 2015 Jays? The offseason is almost over and most free agents are gone and teams have done a fair amount of wheeling and dealing. Most rosters are getting close to being set.

 

If Rogers had any sort of brain, they'd keep Beeston for 1 more year and back off Duquette. They probably pay a tampering fine, but they'd probably pay just as much to Beeston for letting him go now and bringing in Duquette. How do you think Baltimore is going to feel next year after suffering through a year of a disgruntled employee? We'll get him for next to nothing just like the Red Sox got Farrell for nothing one year after trying to acquire him the first time.

Isn't that what's happening? I thought those were the latest rumblings, Beeston staying for 1 more year now apparently.

That would be even dumber than Hoffman. Significantly dumber, actually.

my god

 

I hope you're kidding? You don't really have a source, right? gonna have a heart attack...

who's your source?

RealAccountant is a troll. Just ignore him.

I used remote viewing.

[gbill2004]

@Ken_Rosenthal: If #Orioles want pitching prospect Jeff Hoffman for Duquette, as @Buster_ESPN said, then #BlueJays need to think twice…

 

@Ken_Rosenthal: Hoffman already back throwing off mound after undergoing TJ last May. #BlueJays officials rate him ahead of Stroman, Sanchez at same stage.

[glory]

Rosenthal bringing the logic, as always.

 

Why hasn't this died yet? I mean, someone come out and say talks are done and everyone is moving on. Please!? The longer this drags, the more it seems like Rogers is going to do something stupid. Just stop and walk away

 

I miss Interbrew.

Yeah making a joke makes you a troll around here. You would have done great in early 40s germany. Probably would have gone high in the Fuhrers army
