2016 Official Trade Deadline Thread

If the Jays are so concerned with Sanchez skip a few of his starts and bring Hutch up? Spread his innings out....we need Sanchez for the playoffs.

You could just piggyback him with Hutch. Limit Sanchez to like 50 or 60 pitches a start, however far that gets him. It would still be easy to stretch him back out at the end of September at those pitch counts, and pitchers often get a quick hook in the playoffs anyway.

Why haven't the Jays done this then?

Hasn't been necessary to do it yet, so they might as well see what they can do at the deadline and then make a decision with all information available.

#Jays special assignment scout Russ Bove is here w/ Ervin Santana on mound. Jays stars were ready to restructure in '14 for Ervin.

[Atothe]

Ervin Santana isn't even worth scouting. Never liked him

What if it's for a reliever this year and taking Dickey's spot next season....hopefully letting Dickey and Thole go is what's going to happen then

[Krylian]

If he's better than Dickey and doesn't cost a lot. I won't complain. Otherwise no point.

 

Even if it is, will Gibby take The Dick out of the rotation?

[Atothe]

Dickey >> Santana

[Jonn]

You would hope so. If they brought in someone like Hellickson or Santana and removed Sanchez from the rotation. Our starters for the playoffs would be Estrada and Happ. Banking on Estrada back holding up and Happ being Pirates Happ. I wouldn't expect much success with that formula.

I would assume that if the idea was to replace Dickey, then he'd be traded somewhere immediately after.

Orioles acquired wade miley

Meh if he is all they get nothing to worry about.

Nice trade for them. Probably their second best starter behind Gausman.

[HERPDERP]

Very surprised it didn't take that much

[RealAccountant]

Dickey >> Santana

 

Not if you consider the roster spot fot Thole who is a below replacement backup catcher

[RealAccountant]

I really want to see a deal shoring up our rotation. Once Sanchez moves to the pen I don't think we can go with the rotation we have today. Dickey has not been good and Stroman very hittable.

 

Happ and Estrada are the only reliable ones and Estrada is having all sorts of issues. After Hutch we are looking at Chavez starting. Need to have a usable depth starter

[flafson]

Am I the only one who believes we are not getting anything done?

The ceiling is probably a Grilli type deal.

[RealAccountant]

Feeling like 2014 all over again...

 

We are in Houston again too

 

a lot like 2014

 

Except in 2014 we didn't have Osuna and were let down by Jansenn.

I think we are done. I also think many teams who are suppose to do something are done as well

[Governator]

So far a pretty uneventful trade season league wide.

Well the best GM in the league got kicked out

Apparently we almost acquired Ben Zobrist last deadline. But wouldn't include Rowdy Tellez in the package so the deal fell through.

[King]

So much talk, so little action.
