RELEASE The KRAKEN !!! Lol

[Maahfaace]

you're by the way.

 

Thanks. Was wondering when you'd notice. Surprised it only took you 3 quotes this time.

 

My niece thinks your a joke, lol.

 

You're isn't it?

[Boxcar]

Did you not read what I said. I said if the jays sell at the deadline and they finish below .500...

 

Fewer people use Rogers internet now. They should probably cut back on investing and advertising for it, maybe just drop the service altogether since it's not as profitable as it used to be.

f***in hypocrite

Godammit.

[Atothe]

If Shapiro actually said that. He's got brass balls lol. Love it

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Honest question...if we used Colabello and Saunders for 2017-2019 (DH, OF respectively), instead of EE and JB, I wonder what the WAR total would be like for those three years? Price point? Comparisons?

 

2017-2019: Colabello/Saunders (10M/AAV) versus EE/JB ($55M/AAV).

[HERPDERP]

Isn't Saunders a FA after this year?

 

And you're banking that Colabello is going to repeat his performance LY, which is going to be very tough.

Okay, I'll add a hypothetical...Saunders is extended and plays > 120 games/season

Some of you guys drool as you type, for real. I do late at night after 20 TB's, but yeah!

Blue Jays 'don't have it in their plans' to re-sign Edwin Encarnacion, slugger says

What an absolute disaster this situation has become. It is what it is. Less leaks would be nice.

And Shapiro had built up so much good will this spring.. Those sharks in the media will pray on this. Disappointing, really. That said, I would have probably offered Eddy at least 3 years, given his age and hitting approach.

[Jonn]

There haven't been many leaks. Bautista and EE are creating the stories themselves.

 

The front office has been leaky as f***. Oh well I don't have to be depressed until next December when one of Bautista or Edwin signs with Boston and haunts us for several seasons.

[RealAccountant]

I got one

 

Maybe the president and the GM shouldn't go on the radio and call extending Bautista and EE their top priority

 

Essentially condescending the entire fan base. I'd they had it in their mind that the max they would offer EE and Bautista are 2 and 3 years then they would have known from day 0 no one was goign to sign..

You won't have to worry about that, they have guys that need new long term deals like XB/buchholz. They aren't going to spend 20m+ on a dh and they have no room at first. They have enough young talent that needs space, and they are tied in with panda/hanram/price now.

[ValiantJaysFan]

At this point I'm more worried about all of this becoming a huge distraction during the season than actually resigning them.

[KingKat]

And they said this when exactly?

[ValiantJaysFan]

You know how they could soften the blow of losing both next off season? Sign Donaldson to a long term extension.

I hope Edwin stays in Toronto, however, what stands out to me in this story is Encarnacion has not had an at-bat this spring, missing time due to having a tooth pulled and then a strained oblique..

 

I am sure that the Blue Jays want Edwin Encarnacion to stay but it has to be a reasonable amount. Since he is primarily a designated hitter, I think 3 years at $10 million/year would be reasonable.

Is this from a fan's perspective or team? My guess is Donaldson asked for too much money otherwise they would have went long term this offseason. Atkins said they looked at signing a long term extension.

Yeah I got the impression he means from a fans perpective. I'm strongly against the FO doing anything to please the fans...except winning.

I agree with what they did this year because he's still under control even after this deal expires. But if they lose both EE and JB, there's no reason why the reigning MVP shouldn't be locked up long term and be the highest paid player.

 

I think yes, more from a fan perspective. It would say "we have the money, we're just smart enough to spend it in the right places."

idk if this was already posted

“I want to stay here,” Edwin Encarnacion said Saturday morning after rain chased the Jays inside and cancelled their game against Miami. “I’m really disappointed that nothing has happened, but it’s not my decision.“They don’t have it in their plans for me to stay here.”

He was not angry. He did not raise his voice. He sounded sad and resigned to the fact he will be moving to a different team in 2017.

“I tried to do the best for my team, I feel as if I have done all I can do for my team,” said Encarnacion, who turns 34 next January. “I want to be here for a long time.”
