2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

[Abomination]

Well, his Wikipedia page already says he plays for the Jays, so it must be official now.

 

The wikipedia history for him is hilarious. There's a war between several people editing the page.

[intentional wok]

Sounds like a decent bench/versatility option to me. Not sure how anyone can even muster up enough body heat to be negative about this.

[Swervin81]

I bet Travis is probably out till Septamber and then they can bring him back with no repercussions with the expanding rosters. Pennington's a solid defender that's miles better than Kawasaki.

[jayswin11]

I like this move. Good platoon with Goins at 2b plays 3b, SS as well

[Inklink]

AA Ninja!!!!!

[jayswin11]

Now maybe Heisey on a ml deal. 4th OF bring up in Sept

[BlueJayWay]

I wonder what they know about Devon Travis.

Only need to pay pro-rated league min, the Dodgers will pick up the rest of the tab.

[Spitfire]

Good defensive multi position player good to have on the bench for the dog days of summer. Travis recovery slower the expected Edited August 8, 2015 by Spitfire

[Save Dtieb]

A solid veteran back-up middle infielder pick-up. I like the deal. I remember the Jays were interested in him coming up in the A's org.

[ElNik2013]

So yes, Travis will be out longer past the 15-day dl stint:

So maybe I am not understanding then why Valencia who is hitting quite well this year was let go, who is also making less than half of Pennington.

I'm guessing defense

[Save Dtieb]

Defence, and a need for a back-up middle infielder. Valencia's offence was overkill.

Maybe, but Pennington can't hit, who would you rather PH? Valencia has more pop too.

I thought that's why we have Goins for lol

Goins is starting. Jays needed a back-up. Colabello is the PH at the moment.

[Frenchsoup]

Well Penington is better then Goins

[glory]

Goins/Pennington platoon until Travis is ready.

The disrespect shown for Goins by some on this board,is way out of order.

I heard he had a bad attitude in the clubhouse. I wouldn't have thought that though since he seemed chill on the field.

[jayswin11]

Goins/Pennington platoon until Travis is ready.

 

agree

[abola2121]

Ryan Goins = Manuel Lee

im just a realist, Goins is replacement, Pennington isn't.

[nextyear]

How long will it take to know if Pennington has cleared waivers? I know nothing about the waiver process.

He already cleared and is now a Blue Jay.

[nextyear]

He already cleared and is now a Blue Jay.

 

Thank you for the information. Do you know if he will be in New York today. I guess we will know once we see his name on the lineup sheet.

 

Has Kawasaki been sent back to Buffalo?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

A few years ago we had the likes of JPA, Bonifacio, Reyes, and Izturis in our infield.

 

It's literally night and day from then to now.

He's been added to the 40 man roster, but not the 25 man. That's about all I can tell you.

Pennington better than Goins defensively? I'm a realist also,and you don't replace excellence.
