Danny Valencia

I'm pretty upset by the move today. Never really saw it coming. I loved playing here in Toronto! I'm gonna miss all my teammates/brothers!!!

[Boxcar]

Ugh, so what's the 10 day window mean in this case? that we can try to work out a trade before then?

Designated for assignment (or DFA)[1] is a contractual term used in Major League Baseball. A player who is designated for assignment is immediately removed from the team's 40-man roster, after which the team must either:[2]

 

return the player to the 40-man roster within 10 days from the date of designation, or

make one of the following contractual moves:

Place the player on waivers (which can only be done within the first 7 days of the 10-day period)

Trade the player

Release the player

Outright the player from the 40-man roster into the Minor Leagues

Like I have always said, Gibby is a liability to this team winning.

 

I think AA has done enough that they will win inspite of his managing, but he will do everything possible to get in the way.

[Effit]

 

Man, this one hurts for some reason.

[RealAccountant]

^ Sigh those twitter posts only make it worse. Clearly he was never a negative for the clubhouse.

Portobello is the new Kevin Millar, or Omar Vizquel, or Jo-Jo Reyes, or any of the s***** players in the past several years that just wouldn't f*** off.

so why cant we return him to the 40 man? because he's already placed on waivers?

[guylaroche5]

Man, this one hurts for some reason.

 

Maybe because the move makes absolutely no sense and turns us into a weaker team

[CJ-Freeway]

Wtf???? Holy s***, Valencia gone??? Totally did not see this coming!!

4th OF: Colabello

[Caper]

Is there anyway to undo this move?

[Jimcanuck]

This puts the recent moves in a new light. Does this FO really know what the f*** they are doing?

[Angrioter]

Valencia to Boston for Jamile Weeks......Book it!!

Yep, like a gut punch. Killed the buzz I still had from last night.

[Angrioter]

Shut up MEXICAN!

AA suxx at times

Kawa?

[guylaroche5]

anyway I'm done venting, for all we know Danny V could come back and Cola could be DFA'd in a week. I'll exercise some patience for now

[burlingtonbandit]

sounded like this was all Gibby. AA should of overruled him here. Valencia more positional flexibility and just the better player.

Ujiri/Casey all over again.

[gbill2004]

Maybe Gibby likes the smell of fresh mushrooms in the dugout?

[King]

Good dp

[Abomination]

Terrible move to DFA Valencia. He's exactly the kind of bench player good teams have.

[fapaholic]

Wow, after all the good moves this week...let's go make a stupid one to make up for it!!

[strochez]

Disappointing to see Valencia go. I was at the game last night early and was standing around some autograph hounds that kept asking Bautista, Tulo and others to sign some pictures. Danny walked out of the dugout and as he was walking by just said, "They can hear you guys." LOL

 

Besides what he did on the field he seemed like a really valuable part of the clubhouse and will be missed for sure!!!

[nextyear]

who plays 3rd now if JD needs a day?

 

Probably Goins at 3rd, Tulowitzki at SS and Kawasaki at 2B.

 

I hate to see Valencia go.

[comeon sense]

There was noone else they could have got rid of ?

This move makes no sense whatsoever.

We got rid of a good guy for nothing.Hope he does not go somewhere in our division.

What a buzzkill!
