Big Price for Jays...Norris, Labourt and Boyd

[HERPDERP]

who the hell is Borucki?

[BTS]

Without an extension.... yes, but it's understandable. When you paint yourself into a corner, you get bent over

 

Would anyone actually want an extension?

[Atothe]

We have a chance to do something we haven't done in the last 22 years

 

Which is what? To play one game???? Really?

[aselvana]

I'm gonna laugh at all you idiots who love this when Price is succeeding elsewhere and Norris is being a stud in Detroit while the jays have nothing to show for it.

 

jays would have a 2015 world series banner to show for it......

[G-Snarls]

Ride his ass in to the ground. Throw him every 3 days Gibby and limp in to a wildcard spot. Then let the Yankees sign his worn out arm for 230M.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

Stroman is coming back soon so Price-Buehrle-Stroman-Estrada-Dickey looks good to me

lol

[vanland]

Considering what we now have: it's an automatic two wins against the starts we have to face if he was a Yankee. We're now in second wildcard territory at least.

 

If we lock them up in Rogers coughs up the money for an extension (like they said they do), then I have no problem with this.

 

Wow David Price is a Jay

[John_Havok]

And let's remember, physicals still have to happen. Look at last night's Mets/brewers dumpster fire.

[Boxcar]

There are no signs that Norris will turn into a stud. I'd put my money on him turning into an average starter.

 

I don't love it but it's not crippling like d'Arnaud and Syndergaard for Dickey. This is not nearly as bad.

You are a true fan

[jayswin11]

Let's just sit back and enjoy the ride now. Should be an exciting rest of the season.

We've been crap for 20+ years.

Hopefully we win the World Series in 2015 and make it all worth while.

Since we won't have a pitching staff next year we can reload the farm my trading EE and Jose.

[baubau]

Would anyone actually want an extension?

 

A Hamels like extension? For sure. A Scherzer like contract which is what Price will be looking for, no.

More like the chance to play one game.

[GreekFatAss]

Got to give AA credit, hes assembling the greatest team to ever miss the playoffs.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Would anyone actually want an extension?

 

I'd be happy with that. He should be really good for a few years still, the back end would be bad but by then they will be starting a rebuild. Whether that's the right way to run a team is another question.

[RealAccountant]

After 22 years I'll take that one game

 

My fear is another team gets hot and we don't make that one gamev

[Stangstag]

 

 

Lol DV is a funny guy

[fireballW]

Yeah I think people have been ignoring Norris' numbers in Buffalo. Yeah he has age on his side but still. He would've dropped a few spots if he kept this up.

 

This is true, but this is also the normal course for many great pitchers. A lot take a bit longer than expected. He does not have the ceiling of Hoffman but still, both those players should have a lot of prospect value.

[Boxcar]

People forget that Alford is still basically a lottery ticket. I would have been more than fine with him or Norris but both seems steep and I just figured after the Tulo trade that AA would only cash in his chips for someone with at least 2016 control. This is risky as f***. Can't see AA keeping his job if they still miss the playoffs after this.

 

Yeah I feel the same way. I guess if I had the choice between AA doing nothing or doing this...I'd choose this. Wish he got better value but I can live with this rather than him becoming a Yankee.

[RealAccountant]

Any chance Price would sign a 1 year extension for like $30-35m?

 

If he walks next year at least you get a first rounder back.

 

No

 

He is getting Kershaw money

[John_Havok]

Just saw a really good point form one of the pundits....

 

Look,at all the prospects/players that AA has given up in past few years for Buerhle, Dickey, Reyes, Donaldson, Tulo and now Price.

Anthony Alford is NOT in the deal, source says.

[KingKat]

who the hell is Borucki?

 

Someone not nearly close enough to the majors to get invested in what the parent club is doing.

Outside of Syndergaard who has done well?

[CHRIS]

At this point, I don't even really care what we give up (within reason), even though I probably should.

 

If it's Norris + Alford, I can live with that. Even if Price walks next season, with Stroman and Osuna perhaps in the rotation, I think we'll be fine.

 

The other component is that over the last couple of years, it seems like Toronto has turned itself into a pretty hip place to want to play. Whether it's the #WeTheNorth stuff, or Stroman and his endless promotion of the city...I wouldn't put it past this organization to be able to add in the offseason if Price bolts.

I don't think he'll be that high, but close.

Thank you god. Thank you.
