2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

[TwistedLogic]

Gallardo feels like a time bomb. K/BB below 2, HR/FB nearly half of what it's been the last four years. It's only a matter of time before he starts giving up runs. If you get him for very little (like a Colabello), he's a nice little piece for the 5th spot, but I wouldn't replace someone like Estrada with him.

 

Gallardo shouldn't be "the move". He could be the move before the move, but unless the Jays want to keep Estrada in the rotation (which isn't exactly ridiculous), they'd need one more big arm.

#Rangers are telling teams they're OK keeping Gallardo and getting a draft pick if they don't get an offer they like.

 

lol Daniels is trolling AA

 

Offering Gallardo 15 million doesn't quite pass the smell test

agreed. would rather have kennedy or kuma for a rental.

Gallardo and his ability to get ground balls would work well in Toronto, especially with the improved infield defence. He should come fairly cheap too. That being said, acquiring someone better than Hutch is the biggest need right now. Shields or Ross plus Gallardo along with Tulo and Hawkins would make for a pretty good deadline.

Ya that's not happening.

[RealAccountant]

Gallardo is worth a draft pick to the Rangers? Really?

 

Then if i was them I wouldn't trade him.I'd take the draft pick or anything they can acquire.

[fireballW]

Have we given up on trading Navarro?

[TwistedLogic]

I hate giving this ******** hipster any more exposure than he already has, but he did make a tweet like this prior to the Donaldson deal...

Also re: Gallardo, this is a tweet from the same guy who just said the Jays were interested:

And the Rays are reportedly taking offers on Karns.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 48s48 seconds ago Manhattan, NY

sources: blue Jays are making a major push for david price

[RealAccountant]

^ OH GOD Please dont trade the farm for 9 starts of Price, Please.

 

I am worried now.

[BlueJayWay]

Heyman says Jays making a major push for Price, which scares the crap out of me.

[Atothe]

This will not end well. Miss the playoffs and give up Norris and Pompey

[TwistedLogic]

I really don't want Price. The cost for half a season of price will be higher than the Tigers paid for 1.5 years of control last season.

[RealAccountant]

No that wont happen

 

I am sure AA is not this stupid, considering the types of players he has acquired recently.

[BlueJayWay]

I'm freaked out.

He's not going to get a qualifying offer. Daniels is bluffing.

Are there any contenders that need a C? Think the boat has sailed on that one.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

Price value may not be as high as some of you think. SRF+Pompey or Alford vs Price could work

[Atothe]

What? That's high, not SRF but Pompey

[jays76]

Some good drama building with the multi tweets. Maybe AA is like F it, time for a playoff push and big bid to save my job..

[jays76]

That boat sailed in the offseason when AA was trying to get too cute with Arizona, should've been a straight salary dump after Martin was signed.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

High compared to what some people are thinking. Some think that Norris may be traded for Price. And we never know AA may resign Price @ the end of the year. AA will never stop surprising us.

[Atothe]

Morosi trolling jays fans on twitter

[TwistedLogic]

My stomach hurts.

[Atothe]

Why would Price resign? He could set a record if he gets into a bidding war or choose a destination of his choosing. Be realistic please

[TwistedLogic]

Anyone who wants the Jays to sign Price as an FA is insane. He's not going to get less than 200M.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

Maybe AA forces the owners to scrap the Vernon Wells rule

[TwistedLogic]

Baseless speculation, but this is Morosi's useless opinion on what it could take:

That's a f***ing ridiculous cost for 10 starts from a pitcher, I don't care if it's Walter Johnson.

[Atothe]

Maybe AA forces the owners to scrap the Vernon Wells rule

 

Its not the owners, its AA and Beeston.

[Sorrow]

Its not the owners, its AA and Beeston.

 

I think it's purely Beeston to be quite frank.
