You'd think the they mean trying to move Castro first.

 

Baez is the name being shopped around right now..

 

The Cubs apparently told Castro that he won't be traded this offseason.

I just saw a tweet that the Cubs were working to trade him to the Yanks.

It's ok to be delusional and wish for things.

 

Do you really believe the Jays have a hard cap of $140?

 

If one of Shapiro's targets puts payroll in the $145-150 range I can't see Rogers standing in the way.

Kazmir would put us way over and still in need of several Bullpen arms.....it's not happening.

I wasn't even referring to Kazmir. Point is, it's highly unlikely Shapiro has a strict $140M budget.

Sounds like Rogers wanted a lower budget but Shapiro had to convince them to even get it to the level it is at now. Looking at the salaries in 2017 and beyond 2016 looks to their best chance to Win the next few years.

There is no next few years. Best chance to win is 2016. They have to retool for 2017.

Yeah this seems like reality unless Rogers increases the payroll to like 180 Million or something.

 

I mean if you sign Bautista you would have roughly 113 Million tied up in 8 players. The Major holes to fill would be at least 1 SP, LF, DH, 1B and the entire bullpen.

 

Tulo 20 Million

Martin 20 Million

Bautista 20 Million

Donaldson 16 Million

Estrada 14.5 Million

Happ 13 Million

Hutchison 6 Million

Stroman 4 Million

The Royals traded Lamb, Finnegan and Reed for Cueto who was s*** in the 2nd half of the season. Corresponding move to Cueto acquisition was DFA of Blanton! Lol @ GMDM.

Off-topic but do you guys think Strasburg in the 2016 off-season would be the type of pitcher (given his age and talent) that Shapiro/Atkins would deem worry of shelling 200M+ for?

I think he'd be about the last type of player to get a long term deal here. He's an asset with huge risk even by pitcher standards. If they didn't want Price, there's no way they want Stras IMO.
