Matt Boyd stud thread

In Buffalo, mgr Gary Allenson says #BlueJays said to scratch Matt Boyd from start today and “back him off two days.” Jays need Sat. starter.

 

Seems more likely to be a trade

 

Why back off on calling him up?

 

lol

Because they can't start him Thursday and then also on Saturday? Starters don't usually pitch on one day's rest.

 

It's probably not a coincidence that the Jays need a starter on Saturday and that's the point Lott made in his second sentence.

[Ehjays]

Is Boyd on the 40 man??

[Ehjays]

you are crazy. Has nothing to do with your boyd comment though.

 

lol

I think a Cueto deal would involve a lot more than Boyd who would be at best the second piece

 

Also if Reds are shopping Cueto than they can prob get a better prospect from another team. So if the rumors are at all true who would be the first piece

[Ehjays]

I don't think it's a trade with Cinci....They won't sell off until after the All-star game....which they host.

Who knows. It screams spot start for Saturday's game and I just don't see AA doing a rental. Fun to imagine though.

[KingKat]

Makes a lot of sense to see if Boyd can help you now before you trade him.

[RealAccountant]

I think when Cincy trades Cueto, they will be able to get more,. Looking at other teams, I dont think the Jays have the major prospects required to land an Ace in return. A reliever or two is much more likely.

It's for 2 months...not going to cost a s*** ton unless a GM is an idot

likely true, but Cueto is a rental with a potential injury - so maybe his value won't be as high as Smardzja's was last year. If it is that high it likely puts Jays out of running to get him

[KingKat]

Sure unless he gets destroyed. Teams like to hide the prospects they want to trade in the minors. You have to be very confident he will be successful.

 

Yeah but the primary goal should be getting value out of him not necessarily trading him. If you can get value out of him by playing him, that's ideal.

[pickoff22]

Would you give up Hoffman + Castro?

 

No. Not saying that wouldn't be the price, but I wouldn't be willing to part with that. The qualifying offer system has made rentals all the more expensive. Look at what Oakland gave up for Shark, Cincy is gonna want something comparable

[Boxcar]

I wouldn't even give that up for Trout

plus what Oakland gave up last year, the Jays don't even have in the system.

 

Russell was a top 10 prospect who plays SS.

I hope that's sarcasm....

 

Trout is best player in baseball arguably

[Sammy225]

I wouldn't even give that up for Trout

 

Pardon. Please explain lol

[The Cats Ass]

I wouldn't even give that up for Trout

 

I agree. He strikes out too much.

[HERPDERP]

I agree. He strikes out too much.

 

Not to mention he seems way more interested in a career in meteorology.

They got 1 and a half years of shark which is key. Also got Hammel who was pitching well at the time. The A's also got a lot back this off season for shark, it looks like a fine trade to me.

s***, you're right. Mind drew a blank on that one, the extra year makes a massive difference.

[Angrioter]

Agree. Hoffman (2K/9) and Castro (RP ceiling) for Trout is a steal for the Angels.

 

DesClafani for Sanchez + Boyd

[RealAccountant]

Pillar >>>>>>> Trout

I'm curious to what you would trade for Cueto?

I'd do Norris Boyd and Castro for Cueto and Chapman

[Daniel Labude]

Would you give up Hoffman + Castro?

 

Not Hoffman + Castro for 2 months of Cueto, but if we get a contract extention I'd expand our end and get the deal done asap

[HERPDERP]

I'd do Norris Boyd and Castro for Cueto and Chapman

 

Not Norris. I'd gladly sub in Norris with Pompey + some other B prospect

[jaysfan2014]

Boyd scratched from AAA start. Could the Jays be calling him up over Doubront and Norris?

 

[NorthOf49]

Not Hoffman + Castro for 2 months of Cueto, but if we get a contract extention I'd expand our end and get the deal done asap

Cueto isn't giving us any hometown discount though, so I don't know why the contract extension part is relevant to his value. Would you give up extra prospects for the opportunity to pay Johnny Cueto $140MM over 7 years?
