2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

[Frenchsoup]

Blair was saying that the Jays were in contact with COL, I'd imagine Chad Bettis is a name that came up. Would be a great get if possible.

[Inklink]

If Blair clears his throat one more time on air, I might lose it. Who the hell does that. EVERY DAY.

[HERPDERP]

That's not encouraging. I'd have Kennedy and Latos as my top targets.

[Brownie19]

Padres wanted Pillar and Nolin for Headley. Funny, if it was last year at the deadline I would have done that deal. It looks like a bad move in retrospect, though.

 

where'd you get that info?

lol top targets?

I think it came out in an Elliott report

 

It was generally reported though, it's a thing

[Frenchsoup]

Latos making 9.4 mill so for 2 months of him it would cost a bit over 3mill

[HERPDERP]

lol top targets?

 

I'm sure everyone would like a Price or what not but those two are my targets because they wouldn't cost a lot. I want to keep Norris and Hoffman. I don't care about Pompey. But yeah, as much as possible I want value.

i'd just prefer a guy like Leake over Latos, the cost will be more but prob worth it.

I agree with this. The cost for the "aces" (Price, Cueto & Hamels) will way too high - especially with no guarantee it makes us a playoff team. I also suspect the price to acquire decent pitchers with club control is high. I'd rather trade some mid level prospects for Kennedy & Latos and see if that can put this team over the top. MB, Latos, Kennedy, Hutch & Estrada is a very solid rotation - which is all we need with this offensive lineup. Move into next year with both Hoffman and Norris (along with the return of Stro) and continue with the long term plan of sustainable winning.

Why the hell does everybody want Leake? He's the worst of all the available starters that have been mentioned on the market so far.

[RealAccountant]

The price of two months of Latos maybe Sanchez. Too much if you ask me

3.88 SIERA, 3.64 xfip in a band box. Lots of ground balls and very durable.

Nobody is asking you. Of all the people on this forum, you're the most desperate for the Jays to make a move, and over the last year, I don't think anybody has complained more than you have. You're also one of the people that doesn't want to actually give up anything of value to make those acquisitions. Makes perfect sense.

 

If the Jays do make a trade, you'll probably be the first to complain that they gave up too much, and that not only are they still doomed for 2015, they probably just threw their future away.

 

You're the worst kind of sports fan.

With any luck AA is working on someone not known to be available.

[G-Snarls]

If he ever gets traded to us, it will be fun seeing his wife's reaction

To be fair, she's smoking hot. I won't mind listeninmg to her complain.

Sorry I'll try not to make any posts in reply to yours

I'd rather pay more in $ for an overpaid rental without giving up too many prospects at this point

If your goats can look like that with some hair dye, I want one. Or 3.

I think it might depend on what Ang was on earlier in the night.

#BlueJays worked hard to improve clubhouse mix with Donaldson, Martin additions. Being very careful about who they bring in.

That is not "smoking hot" ... that is a dog with too much make-up, photoshop, and push-up bra

Worked well with bringing in DeRosa and Vizquel. Keep making those same mistakes, Alex!

The #BlueJays are also focusing more on starters than relievers at present. They're open to a ton of different options.

Not with the way he's been pitching this year. I think you could get away with 2 lower prospects for him. The Marlins want him traded 100%, they are always looking to dump guys. I think they have 0 interest in resigning him, since that's what they do with their players.

Are you mad, Boxy?

 

Do you prefer the doucebag of Barry Bonds over the good guy called John McDonald?

 

The clubhouse's harmony is better than the talent.

[G-Snarls]

I know you're mostly joking but... at least Donaldson and Martin are really good players in addition to being positive presences in the clubhouse.

Good

 

Adding a top starter helps the bullpen anyway
