2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

This is based on the assumption Roger's doesn't increase the budget in the following seasons. Given the MLB TV revenue that's coming in + gains from a winning team - it may not be far fetched to see them raise the budget. That's the beauty of baseball without a salary cap.

 

No it's not. The question is not whether or not Rogers can afford to pay David Price 30M a year. The question would be whether or not that 30M could be relocated to be more adequately spent over the next 7 years, and I believe it could be.

 

Remember when everyone thought St. Louis was going to die because they didn't resign Pujols? Ya, that was a thing at one point.

I hear what you're saying...it really all depends how viable it is to add 2-3 good players in lieu of 1 superstar. In years past, the Jays have had to 'give up' a lot of young talent to get high priced players because we were never a desirable team and players don't really want to sign here. We no longer have a basket full of prospects to deal to add 2-3 good players.

 

However, if we win the World Series and suddenly become a team that players want to sign with - and we can get 2-3 assets instead of Price......that's an intriguing and solid option.

Jays going after Price at that term/cost would put them on the path to being one step closer to where Detroit is now, aging stars with bloated contracts and no salary relief in sight. St. Louis has it right.

How about the Phillies?

The Tigers have won their division 4 straight years...who the f*** wouldn't be happy with that? Will it last forever? Of course not. Personally, I think the Jays are very similar to the Tigers and if resigning Price prolongs their run for another 3 years, including a trip to the World Series (heaven forbid winning it), then I'm 100% behind that....even if we're going to be the "current" Tigers in 2019...

Tigers never had an offence like this tho
