Possible Bullpen Moves

[BlueJaysCC]

AA said he wants to add some relievers via trade but doesn't want to give up any top prospects so which relievers could he be looking at? I would like AA to look at Motte or Romo but that probably is not happening lol, thoughts?

[Deadpool]

Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't jump on one of the flamethrowers in the rule 5 and see if that s*** could stick to the wall... I assume Navarro will be moved, and probably for relief help, but Arizona, who have the most glaring need at C for someone like Navarro, don't want to trade relief pitching for some reason...

 

Basically, I haven't got a f***ing clue is what I'm saying.

Jason Grilli will sign a 2/9 contract and close for the next two years.

Navarro for Ziegler?

As for Romo:

That could work, I honestly hope Martin can catch Dickey so the Jays can get rid of Thole he doesn't do anything.

Thanks for posting that

Navarro for Ziegler?

 

You'll fit in well here lol, seems like everyone wants this to happen.

 

Crain and Ogando are two potential options on FA.

It makes too much sense. D-backs need a catcher, but they said they won't trade a bullpen piece for one

I would love to have Crain on this team!!! Ogando is interesting didn't he start for the Rangers?

I think the Jays need right handers in the pen not more leftys

[Angrioter]

Ogando, Morrow, Axford, Janssen

Ogando, Morrow, Axford, Janssen

Looks like good although, I think Morrow comes back as a depth starter if he does decide to come back that is.

Drabek is out of options and AA seems determined not to lose anyone on waivers pretty much every year. What are the odds that he makes the pen out of Spring Training? I don't have any faith in him at this point but he was the centerpiece of the Halladay deal so there may be extra motivation to hope he pans out as a reliever.

I like Drabek. He deserve some innings out of the pen

Ogando, Morrow, Axford, Janssen

 

Janssen is seriously perfect for this team, and frankly, the general opinion towards him around these parts has gotten way overboard. Three straight seasons of brilliant work out of the pen from 2011-2013 (top 15 in the majors kind of brilliant), never posted negative value at any point in his career, and he entered the All Star break in 2014 with a 2.00 FIP and a 1.23 ERA. People have really been s***ing on him because of 23 bad innings in the second half of the season, after he got ludicrously sick and lost 8 pounds in 10 hours over the break.

 

If we're looking at bounce-back candidates like Romo, Ogando and Grilli, Janssen should be first on that list. And what blows is that I really don't think the Jays are looking at bringing him back. Whoever does give him a chance is probably going to get a steal.

 

Bring back Janssen, pick up Crain, trade Navarro for a third arm, and the bullpen is probably set.

Well said, I've been one of the guys that have been opposed to his return but you are right he could be a steal.

As long as he's not just handed the "closer" title (which should be abolished by any forward thinking team anyway) I'm 100% okay with Janssen returning.

[Jimcanuck]

Janssen too mouthy

[gbill2004]

How do you lose 8 pounds in 10 hours??

Ogando, Morrow, Axford, Janssen

 

Sub Morrow for Motte and we're good.

If bullpens are volatile at best why spend on them? I mean might as well run out rookies and get the same for less money!

And what's to say are bullpen will not be improved making no moves! Rebound. Do they not benefit from having Martin framing too! Just sign shields already! Takes 32 - 64 innings of work off the pen right there!

 

Shields

Dickey

Stroman

Buehrle

Hutch

 

How sexxxy is that!

That would be a good idea and the Jays could put Sanchez in the pen and Shields would bring their starter's projected win total to 67. However with that being said, I don't know if there is mutual interest between Shields and the Jays and the fact that Shields will probably sign with the Redsox unfortunately. The Redsox will outbid the Jays on AAV and term

Sub Dickey with De La Rosa and we good.

Dickey's like 200 IP of guaranteed average ball + Dickey effect on a low AAV. No idea why people want to move him. If Martin can catch the knuckler, we can get a better backup and Dickey will be even more valuable now that he's only taking up one spot
