Dumb.

[Frenchsoup]

if all they got was pool money.....

[baubau]

wow... holy f*** aa.....

 

Why is this bad? The Jays went over their pool this year and would be limited to $300K next year.

[Angrioter]

DeJong is something. Dont like the deal

[TheHurl]

Maybe I'll become a LoRider now that he's a Dodger

[burlingtonbandit]

I guess it depends how much. If this results in them not having any penalties and being able to blow next years pool out of the water then itll be worth it.

[Frenchsoup]

So the Dodgers were probably driving the price up on Vlad so AA needed more pool money now they get 2 quality prospects for money.....

Jays signed Vlad for 3.9. He was already rumored at 4M last year. Despite any push the Dodgers may have gave, doubt they influenced this in any way.

Exactly... Ang's initial post had $4.5MM. There is no evidence of such a conspiracy taking place.

 

The Blue Jays and Dodgers have differing financial realities and both got what they needed out of this.

#BlueJays receiving more than $1 million in international bonus pool money in their trade with #Dodgers, source says.

 

yay

1mil is f***ing great

 

Does that allow us to sign guys next year?

I really think trading cap space in a year where you are over should be illegal though.

[metafour]

I don't get how the dollars even work. Based on the Jays pool, they're still going to be penalized above the 5% and will limit their spending next year.

 

It saves us from the two-year penalty. Worth it? Not up to me to decide....

More than 1 mill

[Angrioter]

Vladimir Jr for 3.9M + DeJong + Lacastro?

[nmrch]

It probably won't, the penalties will go down to 1 year instead of 2 and a 500K limit instead of 300K

Reduces penalty and lets Jays only sit out one year instead of two

[bendera3]

Looks like AA is trading a good young pitcher for a young position player and the ability to sign more next year.

they better be better than Chase

two years from now. Not next year.

+ $1MM right now since they'd have been taxed 100% on the overage.

 

Dodgers are acquiring two C-level prospects for $1MM. Makes sense for both sides imo.

[bendera3]

Yeah, my B.

[burlingtonbandit]

Then the Yankees will blow their pool out of the water in that year and be in the same situation as they are in now with the Dodgers...
