Offseason Roster Thread

[Brownie19]

I would love to see the offseason that allows us to keep Osuna in the minors all year.

 

 

You realise how "good" our offseason would have to be for this to happen?

Yes.

 

It's tough to tell, but when I was typing the first sentence of that post, there was a real tongue-in-cheek/eye roll vibe going through my brain, as in:

 

"Pfft, I would LOVE to see the offseason that allows us to keep Osuna in the minors all year"

[Jimcanuck]

Are we going to miss the ninja this offseason?

 

I suspect moves would already have been made.

The guy had offseasons where his biggest moves were sergio santos and navarro...

Fox Sports reports Jays are in talks with free agent Colby Lewis and A's Jesse Chavez.

 

Could be pretty cost effective options to round out the rotation.

Ugh..

Awful news.... Lewis isn't Lackey

[GD]

Jesse Chavez is pretty good. Lewis isn't better than a #4/5 though. Would rather Chris Young.

They probably don't trust Young to give them the 200 innings

[BTS]

Chavez would be desirable.

[dineke]

Why colby lewis? Maybe if they brought him in as a mop up guy...

You have a link or did you just make this up?

The Blue Jays are talking to right-hander Marco Estrada about a multi-year contract in advance of Friday’s deadline for free agents to decide on qualifying offers, according to major-league sources.

[glory]

I'd rather go with Chavez than a long-term deal with Estrada.

[Atothe]

Please no long term deal with Estrada.

[RealAccountant]

Don't know what long term is to people

 

I rather have Estrada at 3/30 then 1/15.5

shocking!

[L54]

Colby Lewis refuses to do PFP's in spring training

[Laika]

Ok, LaCava might as well be from this message board. On Hutch:

 

"We know it’s in there and if you look at his peripherals, his walk rate’s good, his strikeout rate is solid, he’s had success in the past and for some reason it just didn’t manifest itself in ERA."

[burlingtonbandit]

From everything I'm reading it doesn't really seem like Shapiro is the one making any of the moves. He'll be there to sign off on the moves but Lacava is the one targeting certain FA.

Nah. Shapiro is the master of puppets

LaCava just got even greater in my eyes. I now wonder what he thinks of Sanchez.

[Angrioter]

Shapiro is Metalijay.

He's the Dogg

That's a pleasant change from Alex "my god look at dat ERA!" Anthopoulos.

If you could get Lewis or Chavez for less than 8 million, then that would be okay. Couldn't hurt as #5's.

 

Would only do that if you're spending for a #1 or #2 though.

Well Chavez isn't a free agent. His salary won't approach $8M.

 

And Colby Lewis is the type of (non) talent that I wouldn't want at any price. Even at only a couple million dollars, I wouldn't want him taking up a rotation spot. Maybe I'm misjudging his talent but off the cuff he seems like a well below average starting pitcher.

Anything more than a minor league contract is too much imo.

Someone will give him like $5M. Like Kyle Kendirick
