Tulo and Hawkins to the Jays for Reyes, Castro, Hoffman and Tinoco

[BTS]

So.. is it just Castro? Because that would be pretty great.

[nmrch]

Baseball writers, and fans are racist. It's 100% true.

 

Are you being sarcastic because there's a lot of truth to that, people have higher and tougher standards for many Latin and Black players.

[Dylan]

Everyone is a little racist. Those who say otherwise are lying.

 

All living things on this planet are "racist"

[Orgfiller]

Way to generalize, you racist.

Reports earlier said minor leaguers, so I would suspect one more prospect to be gone, but who knows

Confirmed.

 

Looks like this should be a pretty nice deal for AA. Tulo aging on turf is kind of scary though.

I don't think I've ever seen it worded like that, but it's pretty true.

[L54]

reyes was terrible. Forget the stats, this guy didn't take the game seriously.

 

I'll never forget when he threw away our win streak. Any time this team started to get some where there was reyes.

 

-1 war

[Abomination]

Highly doubt it. The original story seems to indicate multiple guys. As long as we don't give up any of our elite prospects, I'm good with it though.

[Pinkfloid]

Well, time to get 4 hours sleep before work....thanks a lot AA.

 

I want this thread at 50 pages by the time I get to work tomorrow. You can do it!

[bill]

the way reyes use to laugh after making errors really (&(^^ed off fans here.

Maybe they do..but on this board we don't care,right?

If someone can play ball, who cares where they come from?

[o2cui2i]

Way to generalize, you racist.

 

come on guys.... it's getting petty.

 

 

Jays just got a solid pen piece, a top bat whose damn good at SS and we traded away Reyes. be happy and love each other. life is too short!

[DuckDuckGose]

Grass on 2016.. Half a season of turf

Its getting annoying agreed.

[Dylan]

Davis, Labourt, Nay, Alford?

[nucker101]

I'd like to read the Yankees board. Going to check now.

 

From a Red Sox fan:

 

They arguably have the best rf in the game, the best left side of the infield in the game and a dh that can hit 40 homeruns a year, and Devin Travis and Russell Martin and I'm not supposed to be alarmed by it?

 

Do you realize how many runs they'll score and games they'll win once stroman comes back next year?

 

LOL

It's a joke, FFS.

[Dr Negative]

wtf

[TheHurl]

no it's 100% true. White hitters are called bulldogs, gamers, muckers. Same type of player being black or latino are called cancers, primadonnas. We have seen it with the Jays for years.

[nmrch]

ZiPS WAR and salaries for Jose Reyes. RoS 15: 0.9/$7 mil, 2.0/$22 mil, 1.8/$22 mil, $4 mil buyout taken.

[Caper]

I wonder if AA did the same thing he did with Donaldson.... Called every single day asking about him until the Rockies GM was driven crazy and made the trade just to stop the calls.

[DuckDuckGose]

All under control too

[havok24]

Can we just officially call today "Tulowitzki day" and have the day off from work. I'm going to be a f***ing train wreck in the morning.

[Nox]

$55M for 2.33 years of Reyes is pretty ugly. Wonder if Colorado knows that.

[L54]

BC I have no idea what AA is capable of. Some kind if witch or magician or something

 

I'm just busting your balls man.

[Boxcar]

Racists don't understand racist jokes. Make another chin joke O2! f***ing racist bike.

[Orgfiller]

Apparently they're looking to flip him. That might've just been a rumor though.

 

Looks like no money is changing hands, which is good news.

[WryNGinger]

I am just so f***ing happy that Reyes is gone.....his nonchalant "who-f***ing-cares-if-we-win-let's-all-just-have-a-bunch-of-f***ing-laughs" attitude made me want to donkey kick him in the back in front of a bus. I can't imagine that that kind of attitude played well for Donaldson and Martin etc.

Beauty of living on the west coast. It's only 11:00
