Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Now with injuries Travis and Bautista, unless a potential pitcher is controllable for the next few years (either a long contract or young enough) I'd rather they stand pat. Use the 40 million freed up by Buehrle, Romero, and Dickey on two starters in free agency (or through an offseason trade) and run with the two new guys + Stroman + two of Hutchison/Estrada/Norris. Dont forget Osuna and Sanchez

nonamejays Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Dont forget Osuna and Sanchez Yes, although it might not be the worst thing if the Jays leave them in the pen for another year if they do get some legit pitchers for the rotation.
jays76 Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 For the love of everything holy get some pitching help already AA.
pickoff22 Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 For the love of everything holy get some pitching help already AA. to be fair this really wasn't on our pitchers tonight, though I certainly don't want to see Doubront out there anymore. The one positive was that our BP looked great and Latroy had a nice debut.

Hawkins looked awesome, hopefully he stabilizes our pen.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Gibbons used Hendriks in a high leverage game FOR TWO INNINGS!!! too bad that hasn't happened more often. Literally used Hendricks for 2 innings on Saturday in a high leverage game...
TwistedLogic Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Mods What? I'm just getting you more hits. Do you not like the exposure?
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Robert Murray @RobertMurrayBBE 14s14 seconds ago Report from @GDubCub: Mat Latos, Mike Morse to #Dodgers in exchange for prospects. Unconfirmed. Stay tuned.
TwistedLogic Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 They also pick up a draft pick.
GreekFatAss Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Cashner + Ross + Kelley for Norris + Urena + Alford + who cares
TwistedLogic Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Cashner + Ross + Kelley for Norris + Urena + Alford + who cares The Padres wouldn't agree to that (unless they're complete morons). They could get close to that package for Ross alone.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Cashner + Ross + Kelley for Norris + Urena + Alford + who cares I'd way rather take Shields if that's the cost for Cashner + Ross as I can't imagine Shields would take much more than Norris and some B guys.

I doubt Shields would cost even that much. If a team agreed to take the whole contract, pretty sure he could be had for next to nothing.
GreekFatAss Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'd way rather take Shields if that's the cost for Cashner + Ross as I can't imagine Shields would take much more than Norris and some B guys. I would gut the farm team if we got 2 controllable starters to add to a team that will stay intact this offseason.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I doubt Shields would cost even that much. If a team agreed to take the whole contract, pretty sure he could be had for next to nothing. Good point the backloaded deal/opt-out definitely diminishes his value. I was thinking they'd want to recoup the comp pick they gave up.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I would gut the farm team if we got 2 controllable starters to add to a team that will stay intact this offseason. I would but I'd prefer not to. I think they can add Shields + Haren for not much more than Norris.
Brownie19 Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I would but I'd prefer not to. I think they can add Shields + Haren for not much more than Norris. Shields + Haren shouldn't cost Norris at all. Shield's remaining contract is stupid though and may handcuff the Jays for years to come unless Rogers opens up the piggy bank.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Kimrel + a starter plz plz plz Norris + Alford + Navarro for Kimbrel + Ross works for me.
Ziggyy108 Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Padres have a bunch of interesting pieces and there GM doesn't seem like the brightest mind .... Lets do it.
McDude Verified Member Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 at this point, just get kennedy for a low level prospect and call it a day... the team is not positioned well enough to give up major assets for 11-12 starts of david price.

Agreed. The thought of giving up a lot of Kimbrel/Ross also makes my stomach turn.
