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

[Orgfiller]

Norris is a pile of s*** that is the minor league equivalent to Romero. Can't even get AAA hitters out now while giving up a s*** ton of walks going to need to change his mechanics for a second time and might have a chance to succeed but not for a few years. Pompey will have to be traded for pitching...so....

 

Lmao, Norris is a pile of s*** (he's younger than f***ing Hoffman) but Jeff Hoffman is practically Giolito. GTFO

 

Also, suddenly it's bad for Norris to not get AAA hitters out but Hoffman gets a pass for not doing the same thing because reasons??

[Dr. Dinger]

Stroman+ for Carrasco. Do it AA. Can't stop now.

 

Ouch. I'd rather give Norris + Pompey + Sanchez than Stroman. Still plenty of chips to cash in without moving Stro.

Troy Tulowitzki isn't expected to make it to Toronto in time for opener vs #Phillies, but could arrive at some point Tuesday night.

 

buying wed game ticks

 

lost in all of this.. gruber gets to watch another full game of goins playing SS

[BTS]

We don't have a Syndergaard, though.

 

Pompey and Alford would be on par with where he was.

[Daniel Labude]

Listen brother don't break down here, you can watch Hoffman continue to put up underwhelming stats in the Rockies system, just please stay calm.

 

Trading Hoffman was fine...but for a pitcher, not a SS

[Boxcar]

thank god.... would be horrible to have to trade him away again

 

You sure are quite a dumbass.

[TheHurl]

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?

 

is there anything at all in Reyes personality which would point towards him being difficult? Tulo is a guy that asked for a trade. Fought until a teammate was run out of town (Ubaldo), Nothing about him screams team player.

We will see

[5minutesforframing]

Thats why I said we are the new Yankees. They use to it all the time. Thats us only were going to finish third place in the division again. Atleast we got Tulo though!

Norris has a track record of dominating the minor leagues, Hoffman has been nothing but mediocre at an older age, i literally can't see how you think Norris is a pile of s*** and Hoffman is a stud in the making.

and you're such a bitter old woman

LTBF is such a ridiculous homer. I can't wait for him to start s***ing on Hoffman.

[RealAccountant]

AA has to get a pitcher now, Its stupid not to. He is all in anyways, yes one thats under control. f***ing Hamels, approve the trade bud. You could have a 25 win season.

[Swervin81]

Let him try his reverse jinx magic out lol. It's worked before.

[Boxcar]

Doubt that. Syndergaard was at least top 50 at the time and maybe should've been higher. Pompey doesn't have the ceiling and Alford doesn't have the track record.

[Morrissey]

AA has to make a move for a starter, doesn't make sense not too. Jays can't slug their way out of .500 record. They already lead baseball in runs scored. He's probably desperate, I'd be worried about him getting bent over a barrel for a starter.

We just got Tulowitzki, who cares?

Yes. Yesterday, he fought with Donaldson over a grounder that was clearly the 3rd Baseman's who has momentum going towards first, Reyes wanted to backhand it, and make a fancy throw into the stands. This happened. The two were yelling, and not for the first time this season.

[Daniel Labude]

Who cares that we lose 15 to 14 now instead of 10-6 right lol

[nmrch]

That's absurd, Pompey alone is worth more than a top 50 guy.

And #Bluejays may very well get two first-round picks next year. #Buehrle

 

what is wilner referring to?

[Stangstag]

Is Pompey any less valuable than Syndergaard was at the time. I don't like Castro and Hoffman so i have no complaints but Pompey is another story.

 

I would say Synd was pretty equal to Hoffman at the time

[King]

We got raped.

 

...

[BTS]

Reyes seems like a genuinely awesome guy, and Donaldson is a giant douchebag. Reyes is a headcase and team cancer that had to be removed.

[5minutesforframing]

Hoffman has done absolutely nothing to justify the hype. Synd was better.

[Dylan]

Who here wants to make a bet that the Blue Jays won't make the playoffs in the next 5 years?

 

100 bucks on no playoffs here

he means that MB is a super if he decides to play another year and gets picked up by another team.

 

so irrelevant babble at this point. same old same old

[Boxcar]

That's absurd, Pompey alone is worth more than a top 50 guy.

 

I don't understand the implications of this sentence.
