[aselvana]

sounds like hes coming back..

[Angrioter]

"That will be addressed at the appropriate time. That time is not today."

[Angrioter]

Even without contract himself, Anthopoulos said he's gone through his usual year-end routine, planning for trades and free agency.

[Angrioter]

AA: "We don't win the AL East and we don't get to the playoffs without what [Dickey] did for us. He's put himself in a very good position."

[Travis_Snider]

Thinks he will certainly be in the game for Price

[Angrioter]

AA: "We have strong interest in David (Price) being back here." What that means, he adds, is less certain. Thinks "we'll be in the game... 3-1 against

Yankees after trade"

 

Shapiro

[Angrioter]

AA on Sanchez/Osuna: "Long term we view both of them as starters. But at the same time we're in a position where we have a chance to win."

[baubau]

*on the phone*

AA : "hey David you interested in coming back"

DP : "for sure Alex!!"

AA : "great great. How is $15m a year over 5?"

*click*

AA : "hello.. Hello. David still there?.... I'm sure he'll call back"

"We made what we felt was an offer that reflected David's value to our team, but he decided to go in a different direction. We wish him all the best in Los Angeles"

[jays4life19]

You ripping him already? The dude was just the GM of the year.

I love how he's his own agent.

It was annoying when AA thought he could just infuse a few units of character by punting wins on guys like Vizquel and De Rosa, but at least that seems to be a thing of the past.

[BTS]

Ripping him? I think he will and should walk away from Price. I'll just get a chuckle out of his public defense of it.

AA says as things stand now, Ryan Goins and Devon Travis would compete for 2B job next year

 

wth AA

[dineke]

WHat's with the french questions? This is not the montreal blue jays.

He's not going to disrespect goins in his press conference.

Yeah he just mentioned that exact point. You can't just add a DeRosa or a Henry Blanco and expect it to be ok.

He's not going to throw Goins under the bus and say "yeah we know he suxxx so Travis is clearly the starting 2B". They were both involved in our run, would be very bad PR to assign Travis the 2B job knowing that 1) he may not be fully healthy and 2) Goins appears to be well liked in the clubhouse. Good answer.

[Terminator]

Already? He's been ripping him for years. He hates AA so much he started cheering for a division rival.

That's the right answer.

[AdamLindsMom]

I think Goins would have pretty considerable value in the trade market as a starting SS.

[Frenchsoup]

I think Goins would have pretty considerable value in the trade market as a starting SS.

 

That's why he likely gets traded.

[art_vandelay275]

He reeeaaally likes Gibby

[Terminator]

That's why he likely gets traded.

 

With an injury prone Tulo and Travis coming off surgery I think it'd be best to keep Goins unless someone makes an offer which we couldn't refuse.

[Terminator]

So we are going to give Estrada a QO right? Was anything said about that?
