Who do we target @ the deadline??

[harvey16]

As we slowly approach the deadline at the end of the month who, or what type of player should the Jays target?? I'd be all for going after another top end starter as a rental for the playoff push. With Sanchez heading to the pen, I just don't feel comfortable with Stroman, Estrada, Happ, and Dickey. Who would be possibly available at the deadline? This year is, IMO, our final year to go for it all before things blowup in the offseason. I say we go all in now! Thoughts???

Anyone in the Twins bullpen

 

Brad Hand

[Jonn]

Josh Reddick.

[Governator]

Josh Reddick.

 

 

I understand why a lot would want him, but his power is way down, his BABIP is quite high and his defense has been shotty this year with an uncharacteristic -17.6 UZR/150. Probably small sample size as I know he was recently on the DL. Man that move would piss Bautista right off going to 1B/DH role before he hits FA.

[HERPDERP]

Josh Reddick.

 

Why do you keep wanting the guy?

 

Saunders miraculously isn't dead and Carrera has been doing a great job considering the cost.

 

We have more important areas to address than RF.

Reddick > Smoak in the line up.

You want Reddick to DH and E5 to 1st?

No the idea would be Reddick to RF, Bats & EE split 1B/DH, Smoak to the bench. Smoak is a league average bat, 98wRC+, Reddick has a 122 wRC+ and Steamer predicts 116 going forward. His 1.5 predicted WAR going forward is over a full win above Smoak while providing an upgrade in RF over Bautista. Whether or not that's a great move, I don't know but a lot seem to like that idea.

 

Being that Oakland is 15.5 game back at this point and Reddick in his final year he's going to get moved.

- Grilli-esque pen arm that can be had for almost nothing

 

Is anyone selling a 1B that is controllable beyond this year and can replace Smoak in the lineup? I can't think of any.

Votto, Prince

Votto, Prince

 

Ewww

[Governator]

Votto, Prince

 

 

Fielder is just a terrible DH at this point.

[BTS]

The Braves seem to put great value on pitching. I wonder if something around Sanchez and Freeman is workable.

[Frenchsoup]

Hosmer could be a possibility when KC falls out of it.

[HERPDERP]

Votto, Prince

 

I actually had a dream a few days ago that we had acquired Votto for his entire contract and nothing else.

 

I then woke up with my bed wet

His power is not a concern imo, be fine playing at the dome. He plays in Oakland.

[RealAccountant]

What exactly do we have left to trade. I would focus on the pen, but the kind of reliever I would want we dont have the prospects for. All of our competitors have better prospects to trade.

[RealAccountant]

The kind of reliever that we need to put us where we need to be is one of the Yankees. Dont think they will be looking at Pompey and Rowdy Tallez and that garbage

 

Face it, we have nothing. Only Chip Alford has been horrible.

 

Need to focus on assets that we think can be attained for no prospects and may help us

[Dr. Dinger]

Sign Yulieski Gourriel and give him reps at 3B/2B/1B/OF.

[BTS]

Trade Dickey for the pen Help we require already!

 

Kc just seems the most logical and fit

The need a starter and we need a relief help.

 

Dickey, Thole Barney and Loup

 

 

For Herrera, Flynn and Butera.

PTBNL ( Jake Newberry)

 

Kick in 2-3 mill only if needed to get the deal done as is and right now!!!

 

This can be Done before they leave town ever better!!!

BTS instead of crying Wolf and bringing nothing to the discussion maybe learn too just STFU!!!

 

Get off my lawn !!!! Lol

[puphood]

Is it worth trying to get Matt Shoemaker from the Angels as he only has a one year contract?

[RealAccountant]

Why would we trade Dickey

 

Keep these pending free agents and qualify them all

 

Let's get 5-6 first round picks don't forget these were the picks that we drafted the likes of Synder and Sanchez

he is still under control until 2020. He will cost a bit.

Who's going to give up a 1st rnd draft pick and beat a $16M 1yr offer for Dickey?

[Dr. Dinger]

0% chance we tender Dickey a qualifying offer unless he's about to go on the best hot streak of his life.

[Dr. Dinger]

Seriously tho, Rich Hill.

[HERPDERP]

Should have signed him in FA

[BTS]

Seriously tho, Rich Hill.

 

That's probably like Pompey and Tellez. I really don't see this FO making a move like that.

[RealAccountant]

At the very least we are tendering Bautista EE and Saunders

 

Outside shot we are tendering Cecil Dickey Smoak
