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

[jayswin11]

So Price starts Sunday if I'm correct?

[KingKat]

Still taking shots, never change Price.

 

Check the date.

[Dr. Dinger]

Guys you better enjoy the next 2 months, because AA has pretty much gutted us.

 

How has he gutted us? We still have Stroman, Sanchez, Pompey, Osuna, Alford, Harris, as well as a cost-controlled core. I'm not saying the Price trade was cheap or wise, but to say our team youth is gutted is just flat out wrong. We kept our best young players and prospects IMO.

[SexyNewForum]

I still think shields would of been a better target. Especially before the season when we knew we were going to struggle with SP

Frustrating it came so late but it's here I suppose. For 2 months

[Spanky99]

How? We are so good everywhere else that LF is really a minor concern that is instantly alleviated by calling up Dalton.

 

I'd like a Fiers or Kennedy and then I can positively say this team can wreck s***.

 

So much this^^^

[Boxcar]

The Blue Jays have possibly been the poorest run franchise in all of baseball for two decades. And they still still have fan boys for the front office.

 

An ORIOLES fan said this. lol weams

 

God I hate the Baltimore Orioles. These guys said, after Tulo "meh, they need pitching."

 

We get the best pitcher on the market: "meh, they didn't do anything after the Marlins deal and I'm too lazy/stupid to do any kind of real analysis"

[RealAccountant]

Well Zaun says Norris will never be anything. So there's that

 

Zaun also hated Sanchez and loved Stroman

Price, Buehrle and Dickey are the only guys walking. It doesn't have to be a 2yr window.

[ColdPint]

At least we'll get Stroman back in September. Silver lining

 

Fixed that for you.

[HERPDERP]

You think there's more moves on the way? I'm skeptical.

 

We could make a minor move for LF (someone who can play defensively) and we could certainly use another lefty in the bullpen.

[polar bear]

I don't agree that the Yankees are better

 

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

 

Throwing away games ?you can add Reyes,and the two lefty relievers to your list.

[GreekFatAss]

What a douche.

 

Sure sounds like someone happy to come here and eventually re-sign.

[agrushcow]

Man people love to s*** on AA...like he's traded like so many great prospects over the last 3 years. Fortunately what everyone is overlooking is that he also can build a damn farm system within a couple years... we have JBau and Edwin under contract for another year. We have blue chippers at C, 2B, SS, 3B for multiple years. SO next year we have a C, DH, 2B, SS, 3B, RF all locked up at arguably top 5 at their position. You don't have blue chippers at 1st, CF or LF, but Pillar is damn solid and a long term starter, and Pompey, Davis and Alford coming up. Your OF is likely set...even after JBau is gone. AA blew it up in the Marlins deal....and yet we still have this many pieces to throw around.

 

All we need to do next year and longterm is get arms...Stroman has all the components of an ace, Dickey will likely return for a backend rotation innings eater role. You still have Hutch to slot in 3-5. Really we just need one more solid arm for next season.

 

I have no sadness over losing guys like Boyd and Labourt. I also am not as high on Norris at the end of the day. But we haven't made the playoffs for 22 goddamn years...at some point we gotta take what it takes.

[o2cui2i]

 

coming from a guy who could only excite 400 Tampa fans to get to games. kind of stupid comment. Insult the fan base just after being traded. not so smartz

[RealAccountant]

This is a complete team right now

[KingKat]

 

The best part of this tweet is that Price was still with the Rays when he posted that.

[Spanky99]

The Bobcat has spoken.

 

Hah...was going to post that.

I think he is saying you fans better come

[cusstown]

The tweets were from three years ago you f***ing morons.

[polar bear]

Enjoy it guys. Cry later

Cheer up ffs.

[youngtea]

You think there's more moves on the way? I'm skeptical.

 

 

Have to agree. AA is done.

 

This roster is good enough to make the playoffs.

[jays76]

AA should actually just go and take Shields for free, if the rumors are true.

 

Lol imagine! Reuniting the TB tandem, then let Price go in the off season. He probably could get Shields for little but he'd need almost an additional 10M from ownership this year.

[RealAccountant]

AA on fan590 at 3

That was also 3 years ago.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Shanchez for Shields would be nice! ninja

[Dr. Dinger]

Pineda scratched with elbow soreness... OH BABY

[Spanky99]

Back-to-back NL pennants and a WS. I'd be very happy with that outcome.

 

Yet build the farm back up like he did after 12'

They are just wait for Buck to tell them what to do/think.

[Orgfiller]

The thing though is that the Yankees have beat up on Price ;/

 

lol

Ya, this FO isn't even close to RAJ levels. I'm not worried at all.
