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

[Angrioter]

Dalton Pompey

These past couple days have been crazy! Such a weird feeling seeing your close friends go like this...

[aselvana]

We'll be signing a free agent starter this offseason anyway. And we'll have the money. We clear 20 for MB, 12 Dickey, 8 from Romero. That's 40 Mil coming off the books.

 

there is no doubt in my mind, if the jays make the playoffs this year rogers will pony up more money aswell.

[The Cats Ass]

We basically have to. Maybe not Price, but we don't have the high-end depth anymore so we need a top of the rotation arm to pair with Stroman.

 

We're set up good I think to acquire one. Would leave us with Stroman, Good FA Starter, Hutch, Sanchez, Osuna?

Should have waited until after Friday. Still time to ship him off for Chapman/Kimbrel.

I think it is perfectly realistic that Dickey could be picked up, especially with a good 2nd half.

+$2M for the difference between Reyes and Tulo. It's the years not the AAV that will keep the Jays from extending Price.

I probably would. I like TCA's rotation, but it doesn't have any depth with the recent trades.

Samardzija is a guy who hasn't been on very many good teams. I could see him be willing to sacrifice individual stats to play for a team with a powerhouse lineup. Jays are rumoured to like him a lot too. That seems like the best fit. A playoff run this year would definitely help.

[Spanky99]

If that happens, it's on the players.

 

Bautista now needs to STFU and lead this team to the promised land.

 

He isn't even done yet, lol.

Romero's $8MM is a wash as Martin's contract rises from $7MM to $15 (and $20 the year after) and Buehrle will likely get a qualifying offer, so if he chooses not to retire he may end up back here for $15MM. Big difference between clearing $40MM and only $17MM

I think if they'll have money to maybe even add 2. I just did some quick math, and figuring in the raises and such they'll have close to 40 Million to work with if they go with the same payroll as this year.

Well surely AA has this information available to him...

[GeorgiaPeach]

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.

 

All this is true. Be happy for now.

 

But, please don't forget this. When there's lean Jays years the fans can't squawk about s***** teams. The Jays cannot run hot forever if they're as all-in as they are.

[Angrioter]

Chris Cotillo

Two names I'm hearing are likely on Jays' radar as they consider adding pitching: Andrew Cashner and Jon Niese.

Press conference at 3pm, Sportsnet

The only way to be contenders every year is to have unlimited payroll like the Yanks. This is our reality, embrace it!

[HERPDERP]

I'm willing to pick up Niese if we give up someone like Nay and they eat all the salary.

Izturis 3Mil

Estrada 4Mil

Navarro 5Mil

Tulo is 2Mil cheaper than Reyes

MB is 20Mil

RA is 12Mil

Romero's 8Mil

 

That's 54Mil coming off the books. Martin's 8Mil raise, and MB's 15Mil if he does accept, leaves us with $31MM.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Shanchez,estrada,the pimp, tellez ,Pentecost Alford and navarro

 

For Archer, boxberger, and jaso! Ninja now!

 

There's you 1-2 for the future Sho and archer would be a hoot! Lol

[thatoneguy]

Some of you people bitching that their farm is empty now don't know what an empty farm looks like...

Right now it's more like this, not full, but with enough beef to stock for the future still.

the great thing about Price being a rental is that we can abuse him to the extent that the Brewers abused CC.

 

130 pitch outings, here we go!

Thanks, that is a lot of dead weight and I forgot about Navarro though Estrada might re-sign here.

Yeah I don't want Gibbons taking him out at 100 pitches.

Price usually goes 7-8-9 innings anyway

a little less than that but not much different. Macier, Dickey $1M each. 600K Romero $4M raise for Donaldson. I'd say $22M after arbitration

[Brenner]

Price every 4 days from here on out?

[baloojayz]

Run him out of the BP too like they did MadBum

[The Cats Ass]

Ya, I can see Estrada being back if he's willing to take a reasonable contract. Could be a good #4/5. It'll be nice to get Izturis and Navarro outta here.
