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

[DuckDuckGose]

2 win improvement ROS. Pretty colossal upgrade given where they are in the standings and the win curve yada yada yada

 

And we actually have an ace for the one game play-in. This offense and they have to beat Price? I don't want to get too far ahead of myself but I like our chances.

[CHRIS]

He's going to get $200+M. Mega contracts for 30+ year old pitchers are about the single most reckless and stupid thing a team can do.

 

The Jays haven't given him that contract yet though (I don't think -- I'm probably a few pages behind at this point).

 

Does this deal make sense from a value perspective? Most probably not, but it makes sense from a winning perspective. I do believe there is value in making a post-season run. It might not be as tangible as mapping out Norris' value moving forward, but it's there.

 

I'm not sure how many on this forum remember the "glory days", but they were amazing. Toronto isn't the greatest sports town by any means, but it doesn't take much for the atmosphere to turn very, very good with a bit of success.

AA doesnt operate that way. No GM can worry about his job when doing deals

Sincerely believe AA is true to his word when he says he will do what he thinks is best for the organization, weather his job is on the line or not.

[Captain Adama]

How is 1 guy the core of the farm? Cause I know you aren't talking about Boyd and Labourt.

 

Labourt is a lottery ticket, buy Boyd plays the role of depth. Sone thing the Jays have been lacking. Of course when you don't use that depth, that's a whole other story...

Price does not sign before the off season 0% chance of it.

 

I think if AA offers him a fair contract he might take it. There's a lot of starters available this offseason, which means a lot of competition.

[Spanky99]

Apparently, it's Norris, Boyd and Labourt.

 

Yeah, that's what they're saying on the fan.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

 

I love all the takes from players

 

Your ass is ours next archer, come on down and in to join the party! Ninja him Alex,do it!

[Atothe]

Enjoy it guys. Cry later

[TwistedLogic]

Pineda headed to the DL with "elbow problem"

 

I'm assuming there isn't a written source yet because it might have been said on-air somewhere? I don't know, but expect written reports to come out quickly.

[5minutesforframing]

And do you wanna bet that won't happen?

 

Cry me a river man, f*** off with your whining please.

[DuckDuckGose]

And do you wanna bet that won't happen?

 

I have faith in a playoff run now but can't bet, I'm already going to be salty for months if it all falls apart and there is no need to pile on.

[HERPDERP]

Boyd in this deal is playing the exact same role as Sean Nolin in the Lawrie deal

[nmrch]

I don't agree that the Yankees are better

 

They just didn't throw away games in Dubront Boyd And Copeland

 

The Yankees are projected to be a better team ROS and they have a 7 game lead on us. Fangraphs gives us a 7.6% shot at the division. Like i said we'll need to go on a legendary run to catch them

[Governator]

Yeah, that's what they're saying on the fan.

 

You're late to the party.

[bronson44]

Lol, Hawkins seems like he's been here for years

Boyd is nothing and never will be.

[KingKat]

Even with this trade, the Jays still have a way better farm than the Tigers.

 

If you go by prospect rankings, only one of the three best prospects (Pompey, Norris, Alford) has been traded and Tulo and Price have been acquired. That's pretty impressive. I would have preffered to pay less for Price but I would have willingly paid more for Tulo so I guess I'm pretty happy with the net result.

Even gibbers is being positive guys, and we just traded for a 30 year old. This trade is not bad.

[Mikeleelop]

I'm

f*** you AA

 

f*** you. f***ing Norris is going to be an ace

 

And in 2 years the all star game will be Synder vs. Norris

 

And we will all cry

 

Stop with the bull. Norris has poor control let alone command.

Is that with Price?

Hasn't he trashed Toronto a few times? Was price the one that made the looney comment? Don't remember.

[Boxcar]

Stop being such a grump. We didn't trade Syndergaard again.

what prospect ranking doesn't have Hoffman in the top 3?

[baubau]

Stop being such a grump. We didn't trade Syndergaard again.

 

I'm a little upset that Synd, Norris and to a lesser extent Hoffman were traded before Sanchez.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Is that with Price?

 

Also if Pineda and maybe Nova are hurt that's a big blow.

[Atothe]

Stop being such a grump. We didn't trade Syndergaard again.

 

Boxy you just came back to us, let me be melancholy

[DuckDuckGose]

I'm

 

Stop with the bull. Norris has poor control let alone command.

 

+ serious questions about his durability.

[fireballW]

Other organization's probably feel the same we edo about Sanchez sadly.

[leaffie]

Always read, but don't post much. Just for once, how about some positivity. AA went and got the best 3rd baseman, the best SS, and now one of the best pitchers. He has given this team a chance to win, and you should just enjoy it.

 

Don't worry about next year. The Jays have spent 20 years with prospects that have literally done nothing. Now they have, they have given the Jays a chance by being traded. Enjoy boys, even if it only lasts for this year. They can always trade everyone over the winter and rebuild.
