[Angrioter]

Deal done.

Tulo and Hawkins for Reyes, Castro, Hoffman and Tinoco

 

Castro isn't big deal, Hoffman overrated and Reyes suck

that's the blue homer way of looking at it.

[flafson]

I guess that means Travis is our leadoff guy from now on.

Do you they think they can fix Tulo's hitting though? He has been bad this year, 6.9% BB and 20.9% K...

[Dylan]

Love waking up to all the WTF texts, now let them pour in on here lol

[Dylan]

What was the leadoff #s for Travis when he was there for a bit?

[BigCecil]

On holiday in NS and woke up to this in disbelief this am. Something else must be in the works for pitching although old man Hawkins is still useful. Still seems odd to move Castro/Hoffman and only gain Hawkins arm given this teams weakness.

 

AA doesn't appear to be giving up on 2015. If Tulo is healthy this line up becomes unworldly and major D upgrade.

 

2 injury plagued SS's but one much better than the other. Castro and Hoffman sting but can live with it.

looked up Latroy Hawkins on FG and the dude throws avg velo of 93 and is over 42 years old, thats crazy even if Coors boosts it a little.

[Jimcanuck]

glad Reyes and his albatross contract is out the door...... too bad it couldnt be norris instead of hoff and castro

[nonamejays]

I would have to expect that some of the other prospects and maybe EE might go for a pair of pitchers.

 

EE + something for Average starter #1

Prospects for Average starter #2

Jesus, Norris is better and younger.

[Atothe]

I'm gonna miss Jose Reyes, genuinely good guy who had to deal with a lot of stupidity

[BlueBirdBro]

I'm sure this has been mentioned already but Tulo has 3rd best OPS among SSs on the road, it's not just Coors, he's a stud.

[labadee]

They will probably trade Tulo for pitching.

More to come.

 

who do you expect to play ss?

Agree. The contract he signed wasn't his fault(baseball is a business) and I thought he always played hard and as well as he could.

[HERPDERP]

I'm not sure how I feel about this trade

Jerry woke up smiling this morning.

[Jonzo]

JUST WOKE UP. WHAT THE ACTUAL f***.

 

Must read all pages.

Probably the best answer in this thread

[flafson]

Didn't you say yesterday that you would do Reyes for Kimbrel in a heartbeat? This one is kinda close.

[fireballW]

Still think Castro is the one that will really hurt. He looked great to me despite results. Expect him to be a stud. Despite that I am excited for the deal. Would be cool is we could deal EE for something useful and then get some aging decent hitter for cheap on a rental for the rest of the year to DH.

[burlingtonbandit]

 

Jonah gets it. WAR doesn't really tell the whole story with how bad Reyes has been defensively.

[Smokey]

Wow just woke up and my mind is blown...

 

Can't say I'm disappointed to see Reyes go but I'm still waiting for the doughboy to make a mid season move that actually addresses a need. I know a win is a win is a win but I'd have at least used the prospects to upgrade the rotation first. It kinda smells like this FO is planning on going out with a bang and the prospect lovers should be scared.

I was looking forward to the 2015 NFL season since I thought this season was over for the Blue Jays. This trade will make watching the Blue Jays interesting again.

"Herpderp"?

[intentional wok]

Not that I thought otherwise, but this makes Edwin trade bait this off season if he isn't already.

[Governator]

Edwin still has to approve any trade, its not that easy.

[GreekFatAss]

The purging of the Dominican clique continues

Uh, really?

 

He has a no-trade clause? I didn't even know. I should have, but didn't.

 

Okay then.

[Boxcar]
