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

[flafson]

Looks like Nationals are about to get Papelbon.

[RealAccountant]

And you should be leading the short bus given your intellect but things don't always work out as they should.

 

Okay thanks bud. Hope we can be friends in the future

[flafson]

Don't we have to make a move for tonight's game? It looks like Hawkins is in the lineup. Isn't Tulo on the 25 men yet?

Robert you deserve more respect around here

Tulo is not active yet but Hawkins is. Hawkins took Reyes spot on the 25 man. A move will have to be made tomorrow for Tulo

If the one game wild card counts as the playoffs, then Dickey is right. The Jays should make it and there's no excuse not to. Everyone vying for the 2WC is mediocre.

[Jimcanuck]

AA sure does the unpredictable. This trade is for naught if the pitching is not improved. Not gonna be surprised if Bautista is moved to Cards for pitcher(s) under control. If not that, then prospects for pitching... ugh

Edwin to the Cardinals makes more sense

[canadiansportsjunkie]

I like the move. Prospects are prospects we didn't get a rental player here or a decent #3 starter, he is the best SS in the league ( others are creeping up now ).

 

Interesting to hear the names that were " offered " for Tulo...DeGrom? etc

 

I look forward to see what value the Rockies can get for Reyes if they do manage to move him...

 

All around good deal.

 

P.S Hawkins underrated in this deal...young BP meet veteran leader.

[BigCecil]

Edwin to the Cardinals makes more sense

 

That makes more sense agreed and unlikely Edwin vetoes an almost guaranteed trip to playoffs.

[Laika]

did this actually happen?

[Jimcanuck]

it does, except the return would be relatively meh

Not trading Bats this year don't be ridiculous.

[Jimcanuck]

Bats for controllable pitching is actually the right move

 

This is Donaldson, Martin, Tulo team now

[thatoneguy]

Leaving a gaping hole in the outfield isn't a good move either.

Promote Pompey, but yes, would need Saunders back or someone better than Carrera/Portobello

Bats is still the leader of the gang, face of the franchise, etc, etc. If anyone's gone it's EE unfortunately.

 

But hopefully we land an ace for just prospects and he won't be gone this year.

"just" prospects....... i don't think you realize just how valuable young cost controlled players are

Encarnacion on Reyes: "He's one of my best friends. I wanted to give my support bc I know the way he's feeling. He was very sad." #BlueJays

 

We broke Reyes' heart guys

[Angrioter]

Farrell on Tulowitzki trade: “It seems now they’ve got six middle of the order bats.”

[Angrioter]

Donaldson: "It was an unexpected trade for us. I definitely think it sends a message. Our goal the entire yr has been to win the division."

[RealAccountant]

Bats didn't sound happy with the deal

[GreekFatAss]

You could presumably bring back a major league outfield bat with the pitching depth that he would command.

Best part of these moves is Jose's influence is diminishing as his clique is less important to the teams success.

[5minutesforframing]

OK, Balki.

 

Shut it

[bill]

In all seriousness this team should be leading the ALE based on talent

 

 

But strangely they are only .500. Why are the Yankees pulling away in the East?

[Angrioter]

Josh Donaldson and Coco Cordero

Why does that matter at all?

Winning the world series of celebrations over acquiring a 5+ WAR player.

[Statman]

Reyes out. Tulowitzki in.

 

Go White Jays!

 

Donaldson and Tulo for the win!
