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

[Stangstag]

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.

 

Still an elite power bat with another 2016 option for a bargain price

[thatoneguy]

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

#Bluejays could still move Norris and/or Pompey for SP but would mean bleeding a lot of prospects now to go for it.

 

which would make sense,as aa is getting fired if they dont reach the playoffs.

Yup, he has solid value due to his contract and power alone.

Hoffman wouldn't fetch an ace

[RealAccountant]

Maybe AA's compensation plan is tied to run differential?

[BTS]

I wonder what the third piece is. Alford?

[Dylan]

lmao members will wake up tomorrow and find out reyes, hoffman, castro out and tulo, hawkins now jays. Recipe for a great WTF in the morning.

[Daniel Labude]

Hoffman, Norris, Pompey and Castro would get us an ACE...

[Boxcar]

and now for everyone to lower their standards on hoffman

 

He's not a Blue Jay anymore, so his value has plummeted.

[Candy Maldonado]

AA better deal fatty.

you would have to think that jays included him in offers for carrasco and that got rejected.

[baubau]

Confims what I also suspected for a while, Jeff Blair doesn't know s***. Said that the Jays ranked Hoffman above Norris and Boyd. They'd be the ones shoped and traded first. #fullofshit

[Chappy]

Trading EE right now makes sense for us, but what team moves SP for him at the moment? Unless it's a 3 team type of deal I don't expect him moved until the winter.

Can't imagine it's a significant player with Hoffman and Castro both moving. #Bluejays #Jays

 

wilner has spoken.

[nucker101]

Obviously not alone, in a package with another quality asset it was possible to land an ace or #2 type of starter.

[5minutesforframing]

Hoffman, Norris, Pompey and Castro would get us an ACE...

 

Replace Hoffman and Castro with two other mid-level prospects and they can get an ace still.

syndergard trade V 2.0

[RealAccountant]

Well now AA might as well go all out and trade Norris and Pompey too for a frontline starter. Its going to be a massive rebuild anyways, if it doesn't work out.

Cards or mets?

Remember a few pages ago when everyone was mocking Wilner because he said Hoffman or Norris must be going to other way...

I think he makes some sense for the indians. They're really hurting for a middle of the order bat.

Wilner suddenly thinks Reyes was a negative influence after defending him all season

Indians or Cardinals

[McDude]

this last piece will make or break the deal, has to be a lower level guy

[BTS]

Boyd sucks, and Norris might suck. Maybe the Rockies demanded Hoffman over them.

[nextyear]

This basically confirms what I have felt for the past couple of years. The Blue Jays management is completely focused on offense, although it appears that Troy Tulowitzki is good defensively also.

 

Is it possible that Jose Reyes was so difficult to deal with that they just wanted to get him off the team at any cost? Troy Tulowitzki has seen a lot of injury time, so are people prepared to see Goins playing a lot of games at SS? Maybe Troy Tulowitzki is willing to rest a couple of games a week to extend his career unlike Reyes? If he isn't overplayed then maybe he can be productive for another 4 - 5 years?

[Boxcar]

I am actually happy Hoffman got traded tbh. This is totally worth it.

[nmrch]

He's not a Blue Jay anymore, so his value has plummeted.

 

There's a decent minority of us that are skeptical of Hoffman, it has nothing to do with the trade

[Dylan]

were still a 500 team after this trade.
