Who says no?

[TilsonBritoFan]

OK we all know the Jays and Indians discussed Salazar this year close to the trade deadline. Ive been thinking...Alex isn't done trying to get him.

 

I predict Alex/Shapiro go full out to try and pry him from Cleveland this winter.

 

With Revere on the team now, Saunders coming back, and Pompey not needing another year in AAA, we have a lot of OF depth. Also we have a bit of depth at 2B with Travis and Goins both capable.

 

Here's 2 scenarios. Who says no?

 

1) Sanchez + choice of Pompey/Pillar, + any prospect not named Alford

 

2) Sanchez, Travis, B prospect

 

I'd love to see a rotation of Stroman, Salazar, Price (or whoever we sign to replace him) Dickey, Estrada next year.

 

Osuna replaces Dickey in 2017.

[Jonn]

Cleveland says no.

[Stangstag]

I personally wouldn't do trade #2 because I think Travis will be VERY good.

 

I'd do trade #1 but Cleveland probably says no.

[Stangstag]

I find it funny that everyone here is sold on Goins being above-average now after 1-2 good months. He's still the same player he always was. He's a valuable bench piece and a fringe starter. Travis is a much better player.

[500LevelSTH]

Sanchez is going to be a stud - Jays will not give up on him, pompey and travis will be an every day players, saunders is done as a fielder with that knee, pillar might be top 2-3 CF in baseball now...Wouldny make any of those trades.

After seeing Goins in the playoffs its pretty clear that the guy can't hit. His hit streak may have had to do with teams throwing him fastballs after focusing heavy on the top order

[GreekFatAss]

As much as I would love to add one to pair with Stroman at the top of the rotation. I fear we don't lime up to well with what they are looking for.

Did it really take the playoffs for anyone to realize this? The guy has never been able to hit, from A-ball to the majors. Great guy to have on the bench (although he has to learn how to f***ing bunt), but Travis should be the starter.

Im talking right now, yes yhe level he is playing is defo top 3 in AL. Fielding as good as anyone, has good speed and his hitting is rock solid. Right now, not career, but right now he is. The other guys are playing golf

[RealAccountant]

Cleveland says no.

 

Thread should have been closed after this

[Dr Negative]

Cleveland should be looking to win the division next year. They won't trade any of their SP unless they receive major league players in return.

Can't they take Sanchez Pompey and a B level prospect like OP suggested

Agreed. No discussion on a message board allowed.

Lol pillar top 2-3 cf in the league. .he's arguably the worst cf in the al east alone

[Dr. Dinger]

Maybe it's just me, but is an anagram really necessary for a 12 letter phrase? Sometimes they make things harder to read, not easier.

 

Yeah but there's also a lot of spaces in between those words, those are characters too.

[z3r0s]

to be fair, he had the 2nd highest WAR for a CF in the AL-East this year didn't he? Its all defense, but he did provide a lot of value.

[Grant77]

Yeah but there's also a lot of spaces in between those words, those are characters too.

 

I guess so and it's probably just me that has to look these up all of the time. People in my social circle don't really use them, so it's basically only this message board.

If you ignore defence.

[z3r0s]

cummon DD, a space should count as half a character at most. The only responsibility your thumb has!

[The Cats Ass]

 

A true talent evaluation would surely put Pillar behind Jones, Ellsbury, Kiermaier and Betts.

 

That's if you think Ellsbury is going to improve next year at age 32.

Very few ever disagreed with your assessment. Every squirrel finds a nut now and then and he hit well for 6-8 weeks. Even if the guy can work the pitch count and get the odd single/BB its value I don't expect.

 

Gibby cannot hesitate to pinch hit for him in Game 5 like he did in Game 2 when we have a chance to score 5th inning on. Especially against Hamels.

Feeder crickets don't use keyboard shorthand?

[Laika]

I guess Pillar for Salazar would be fair but man, I've grown to love KP. It's possible that he's at the zenith of his value right now though I suppose. Still, I don't like trading above average regulars up the middle.

[Laika]

BTW I meant Carrasco not Salazar in my OP. My bad, I get the two mixed up

 

Well that changes quite a bit, lol.

I don't fraternize with those lowlifes, my best friend is my orchid mantis. Get your facts straight, jeez.

Yeah, that changes a lot, Cleveland hang up. They were asking for a truckload IIRC.

Simple Cleveland says no lol

[Dick_Pole]

I don't take most of the posts in this thread seriously...until I recall what the Jays gave up for Donaldson then I recognize that anything is possible.

[fatcowxlive]

No way the do that i don't think
