Lol I would love to have Heyward but I just don't see it. Front office is gonna go hard after pitching this offseason. This team can do without Heyward.

 

Disagree. Shapiro is not a fan of splurging on pitching, and I would be shocked if he pushes for resigning Price. Heyward is a far better investment, both in security (unlikely to pull a Verlander) and value (defense is undervalued.)

While he may not be a fan does he have a choice? Currently next year's rotation is: Stroman, Dickey, Hutch. Price, Burly likely won't be back and Estrada shouldn't be brought back. You could fill out the last position with Osuna, sure, but you still have 1 spot remaining and Shapiro doesn't seem like he's dumb enough to put Sanchez there. I think if it comes down to it, by need he'll go after a pitcher. Not specifically Price, hopefully someone like Shark, Iwakuma, Chen, Zimmer, etc.

Shark would be great. 1 year deal to re-establish value? Maybe 1/12 or something. Kazmir another option. Win is a win IMO. If I'm breaking the bank for anyone this off season, it's Heyward 100%.

It is true. You do get more value with Heyward than you would with Shark. I am just trying to play devil's advocate really. ;) If we got Hayward that would really allow this team to trade Revere, Pompey, Sanchez and other assets for a starter. Have Saunders or Carrera as 4th OF. Once Alfrod is ready he can then replace Bau in the future.

Yeah I doubt we make an actual push for Price, but i'd like to add 1 or 2 arms to the rotation still. Zimmerman, Iwakuma, Kazmir, Shark, Anderson... There are alot of options.

Why would he come pitch in the majors to re-establish value, when he can do it in the minors (National League)

BTW, can anyone tell me what time and what gate I should go to tomorrow if I want one of the free hoodies?

 

Look for the half mile line up? Just a guess.

I'd guess you'd need to be there by at least 10am at the latest.

I totally agree with this. There's one player I would go crazy to sign and that player is Jason Heyward. Watching him play is a pleasure, he has a very high floor and some room to dream about his power potential.

The last few weeks it has become obvious the Jays players have no respect for Barry Davis. Almost every on-field interview after games they interrupt or do something to the player being interviewed to screw it up for Barry. And then watching the celebration video really showed how they really could care less about what he is doing. It really must be embarassing for him.

Every time he goes out there I wonder if deep down he actually realizes how much of a f***ing toolbox he is.

It didn't seem like any of the players (Jose Bautista or Josh Donaldson) were treated with any more respect than Barry Davis.

 

Barry Davis was in the middle of the celebration so he probably expected to get mugged and drenched with champagne. I think the players welcomed him into the celebration even though they probably preferred not to have cameras rolling.
