Correction: if the #Rockies-#BlueJays Tulo deal is completed, Rockies will receive RHP prospects Jeff Hoffman and Miguel Castro

[nmrch]

We're selling high on Hoffman, its like some of you haven't even looked at his minor league numbers.

Getting a starter just got a bit harder

[TheHurl]

The Jays have a video game lineup. That being said I wouldn't be surprised to see one or both of EE and Bautista traded in the offseason. AA now has 3 key pieces in Donaldson, Tulo, and Martin all locked up long term which will make it pretty easy to move both players and still have a good lineup.

 

They were 130 wRC+ vs. lefties and just upgraded on that. Trading EE for pitching makes so much sense right now.

[Daniel Labude]

If true, the rockies paid 60 mil in value for Castro and Hoffman. Big woop. Hoffman hasn't been very good since coming back from injury.

 

Derp

[Captain Adama]

Lol love to see Hoffman go just to have ltbf go apeshit

[baubau]

Not totally disappointed, though I would have loved to have seen the Jays hold onto to Hoffman and use him in a deal to land Carrasco.

 

Maybe the Indians never wanted him? Hopefully they'll want Sanchez!

It's like you don't know what minor league numbers actually represent

[SAAviour]

Please not Pompey or Alford as 4th player.

It's like you don't know that Hoffman is severely overrated.

I'm cool with trading him, just made more sense to package him for a SP.

[jaysblue]

Jon Morosi confirmed Hoffman is heading to Colorado

[King]

Morosi confirming Hoffman

Ed hitting about .236 this year. I'm not sure how much value he has. His power numbers aren't bad... but nothing to write home about.

[McDude]

man, i dont know how i feel about this now... hoffman and potentially another impact prospect?

[Daniel Labude]

I guess that s*** show called Norris who can't even throw a strike is going to get us a pitcher...

[ColdPint]

Yeah....I went from being super excited to questioning the direction of this team. This has Syndergret written all over it in another year or two.

[nucker101]

Please not Pompey or Alford as 4th player.

 

Now that would sting even more.

[Dylan]

and now for everyone to lower their standards on hoffman

[baubau]

I love that Hoffman got traded. The media hype on him since Dequette was insane.

[RealAccountant]

Are we a better club? we really needed pitching.

[bill]

Hoffman well thats what it takes to move a declining asset like Reyes. Reyes was terrible here.

[5minutesforframing]

man, i dont know how i feel about this now... hoffman and potentially another impact prospect?

 

Hoffman is nothing special

[SexyNewForum]

Carrasco was the one guy I wanted us to go all out for

Like Hoffman and Castro plus ... Not an aging ss with crazy health concerns to replace our aging ss with health concerns

[thatoneguy]

Would've rather used Hoffman to get an ace, but seeing some really dumb posters bitching about it is reassuring.

[jaysfaithful8]

Hoffman hurts.

[BTS]

lol at everyone surprised that a player with actual value is going to Colorado

[Boxcar]

We're trading Hoffman for someone other than Mike Trout? And not even as the primary piece? WTF

[Daniel Labude]

It's like you don't know that Hoffman is severely overrated.

 

We will see..we just swapped SS, paying more money in the long run...and now can't get an ace without trading from the major league roster...s*** trade. Hoffman should have went for an ACE if traded

[North of 60]

I thought the other 2 players would be Wolfe and Albers.
