BREAKING: Jays acquire Melvin Upton Jr.

[glory]

San Diego only paying 5 of the remaining 22$M per Heyman

 

Padres are paying all EXCEPT $5m, which means they are paying $17m while the Jays are paying Upton $5m.

I saw that's it's all of his salary except 5 million next season

Jon Morosi says Padres paying all but $5 million of salary through next year.

wrong

[Jonn]

Shartkins dumpster dives in all the right places.

[gbill2004]

I do this when I have a raging boner, like right now

 

I hear ya!

[Angrioter]

f*** you Alex!!

[Dr. Dinger]

Paying nothing this year and $5M next year for a guy who could conceivably give us 2-3 WAR over that timeframe is damn f***ing good, I have to say.

[gruber92]

What a f***ing deal. Holy s***..

[gbill2004]

f*** you Alex!!

 

Shartkins at their finest moment!

[Jonn]

Fatcow banned for a few days sounds reasonable.

So would you say you overreacted four hours ago?

[The Cats Ass]

Would rather see Upton start most days against LHP and RHP. Smoak on the bench for pinch hitting.

Shartkins makes no sense.....

 

 

Literally

And about to be banned too apparently.

Holy shite. Why would the Padres pay $17m of Upton's $22m just to jettison him? Is he that much of a cancer? Is Hansel Rodriguez that much of a prospect?

Maybe they really like Hansel? I do know they have a young OF they wanted to give playing time to.

[Bojangles]

Smoak on the bench for pinch hitting.

 

Excuse me, what? Walking strikeout machine

[Praxis]

Maybe. But wow; you have to give credit to Shatkins for this one. We've got a serviceable 4th OF and maybe a bit more for comparatively very little money and a single class A prospect.

[youngtea]

As I stated earlier this deal must have been too good to pass up for the Jays. I guess I was right.

[Jonn]

Huh? Where?

 

We're you not the guy who said we will regret this trade. Whoever said it deleted those posts.

[intentional wok]

Excuse me, what? Walking strikeout machine

 

He's there to pinch hit for our other bench player Josh Thole.

 

The strategy goes layers-deep.

LOL @ cowards on here!

[Angrioter]

1.5 years of Melvin Upton for 5 Millions?

Guaranteed its not him. I'd vomit all over my boss at work today if that was the case.

 

My boss is happy.
