"1. The Astros and Blue Jays are up to something. Jays scouts are watching the Astros’ system closely."

Francis Martes is a really good prospect. That's interesting.

[L54]

If the Jays end up selling Edwin to Houston would make a lot of sense.

[RealAccountant]

1.6 million attendance should ask for their money back

 

Like I said AA saved jays fandom shatkins will return it to Jpr era

[Dr. Dinger]

How on Earth does that make sense with our team 6 games over .500 before the all-star break?

[204Jays]

The fairweather fans would revolt if we traded EE. He's playing out of his mind and it doesnt look impossible for him to perform like this for at least 3 out of a 4 year deal.

I don't see how the Jays and Astros match up in a trade... both are competing for a playoff spot unless something drastically changes between now and the end of July

Shopping JB?

[John_Havok]

But again... ow does it make sense to trade anyone off the team in a playoff race?

 

If the Jays were below .500... sure, sell em all and pray some of the return works out, but it would be insane to dump any of the big bats while a playoff spot is within reach

[Abomination]

It would make a lot of sense to trade off some of our IFA cap space, since we're limited to 300k per player this year anyway. Probably wouldn't add up to Martes though.

[L54]

That's why I said if the Jays end up selling.

 

From a baseball perspective, Edwin to Houston makes about as much sense as anywhere.

[banned]

Jays are not trading EE the way he is playing LOL. I honestly would not miss Bautista that much, great hitter but he's 35 with bad defense.

[Grant77]

I don't think we sell either, but there's nothing wrong with being prepared. I'd be taking calls and discussing all of our free agents just in case.

[Angrioter]

Carlos Gomez maybe?

[Jimcanuck]

Bautista for Marte and Rasmus

[Spanky99]

Due diligence.

[glory]

Trading vets when they are tied for the 2nd WC, 0.5 game out of the 1st WC, and 4-5 games out of 1st in the division would be ballsy by the new regime. It would depend who they trade, but I'm curious now.

They plan to move arguably the best player in franchise history

[TheHurl]

Only time you have an opportunity to trade from your existing lineup while in a race, is when you have a position of strength. Jays just don't have that. But the FO does have to attempt to figure out next year and AA and AAA pitchers and OF's will be available in trade

[glory]

Impending FA's of any significance: JB, EE, Saunders, Dickey, Cecil, Storen, Smoak, Chavez

 

Cecil, maybe? I can't see the front office trading JB, EE, or Saunders right now, and Dickey/Smoak/Chavez don't have that much value.

 

Maybe they are starting talks now incase they fall out of the race in the next month. Either that, or it's prospect for prospect trade. I can't see anything else.

[thatoneguy]

I don't think further depleting our bullpen is a good option right now.

[Krylian]

No one cares, or should care, what a fairweather fan thinks.

[204Jays]

I doubt Rogers would agree, these fairweather fans are why we are #1 in AL attendance.

[Cyborg]

This means zero lol. Every team scouts every team's farm.

[Jimcanuck]

EE and JB would never agree to a trade as it stands now

[Jonn]

I don't find this remotely interesting. I saw a few Jays scouts at an Astros farm game! Better tell Twitter to stir some s*** up!

[Sorrow]

EE and JB would never agree to a trade as it stands now

 

Shatkins could quite literally tell Bautista they're qualify him, will not be making an offer and it will hamper his earning potential. Or he can accept a trade to Houston and not get the Q/O attached to his name.

That's called doing him dirty.

I sure hope you're wrong...cause if you're making baseball decisions based on what Gino from Woodbridge thinks, you might as well pack up and home home cause it's over.

[Jonn]

I think people are also forgetting the peope who are actually becoming real Blue Jays fans. Its no doubt casuals are coming through in full force. But that doesn't mean some of them won't become emotionally invested in the team. Or if not them there kids who didn't experience the past 20 years of misery and futility.
