Jays Acquire Harold Ramirez, Reese McGuire, Francisco Liriano for Hutch

[Abomination]

Bingo.

 

Essentially this is the Jays agreeing to take money and and arm, for another arm and 2 prospects and the pleasure of paying Liriano 17 million for 1 year in 2017.

 

Theres no such thing as a bad one year deal.

 

Liriano is actually 13.67M next year.

[King]

I guess I should've said I wish him well instead. Taking too much heat for my comment.

 

Hutch is highly hated around here you should have figured

[canadiansportsjunkie]

money? keep filling the seats, watching the game ( most people have cable still ), listening to the game on the radio, cellphones, buying blue jay stuff etc etc at this pace?!?!!?

 

Money won't be an issue...remember thetr is a COUNTRY behind this team

[HERPDERP]

pretty odd we haven't heard of the name of the 2nd prospect, must be a filler

[L54]

Hutch is highly hated around here you should have figured

 

Ya I'm dumn

[RealAccountant]

So next year we are looking at a rotation of

 

Sanchez

Stroman

Happ

Estrada

Liriano

 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[L54]

Hutch is highly hated around here you should have figured

 

Nick Kingham would be sexy

[vilifyingforce]

I think the guys in the front office knows more about where next year's budget is than you and I do. Atkins has been, and even said again today, we have payroll flexibility

 

We're in good hands guys be happy holy

 

Well I would hope the guys in the front office know more about the financial flexibility of the club then I do lmao. And who's not happy? I said $17M is not nothing.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

pretty odd we haven't heard of the name of the 2nd prospect, must be a filler

 

they claimed they haven't been able to get a hold of the 2nd prospect....doesn't mean he will be a filler just yet

[Sorrow]

pretty odd we haven't heard of the name of the 2nd prospect, must be a filler

 

Atkin's said that Pittsburgh was unable to reach him to let him know so that they won't announce the name until they've told him.

[Captain Adama]

He definitely isn't awesome. At the very best he's passable.

 

IIRC you were the biggest Hutch fanboy.

[Abomination]

pretty odd we haven't heard of the name of the 2nd prospect, must be a filler

 

I think someone said the Pirates haven't been able to reach him yet, and they want to be the ones to notify him rather than him hearing it on social media. Probably is more filler than sexy though.

[GeorgiaPeach]

we are filling the seats...continue that trend...it's not your money...winning = $$$$

 

But when ticket prices rise a little the fans lose their minds.

[John_Havok]

Liriano is actually 13.67M next year.

 

Even better. 17 million must be the total money owed between now and the end of next year

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Well I would hope the guys in the front office know more about the financial flexibility of the club then I do lmao. And who's not happy? I said $17M is not nothing.[/quote

 

$17M is crazy money....but how much is the " company " making? i have no idea but 100% it's a crazy number....Canada has 1 MLB team. They aren't losing esp with the seats we have filled this year and viewers

I'm just saying it won't handcuff us

[John_Havok]

But when ticket prices rise a little the fans lose their minds.

 

As they do in every market

[CJ-Freeway]

The best part of this deal is the fact that it probably means no Dickey next year.

 

And you forgot: no more Thole too lol

 

Praise the Lord!

[GeorgiaPeach]

Ya it should be "What will you do in 10 years?"

 

Maybe we should have traded for Harper then. Could've had him for a song

[vilifyingforce]

IIRC you were the biggest Hutch fanboy.

 

I was a pretty damn big fan boy when he first came up. Thought if he put everything together he could be a #2.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

But when ticket prices rise a little the fans lose their minds.

 

Which " fans " are you talking about? I went to 3 playoff games last year....it was worth it for me

[Lil Looper]

Id rather have hutch than liriano especially with liriano's price tag.

 

He is leading the league in walks

5.5 BB/9

Nothing is more infuriating than guys who can't throw strikes. A f***ing >1.6 WHIP

 

Save the 13 mil for someone who isnt s*** next year. Hutch would have done more this year than liriano.

The prospect is obviously an important part of this but why not make this deal in the offseason.

[West Texas Forever]

So next year we are looking at a rotation of

 

Sanchez

Stroman

Happ

Estrada

Liriano

 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

Plus a real backup catcher that can hit better than .160

[vilifyingforce]

[jaysguy44]

As they do in every market

 

I'm planning a trip to Toronto for next month to catch a few games, I was surprised at how cheap tickets are.

 

I may just be used to ticket prices for NHL games lol I could catch 3 baseball games for the price of 1 game at Rexall.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Maybe we should have traded for Harper then. Could've had him for a song

 

he still can....i have always like hutch but for this team...right now...solid deal

[vilifyingforce]

Well I would hope the guys in the front office know more about the financial flexibility of the club then I do lmao. And who's not happy? I said $17M is not nothing.

 

$17M is crazy money....but how much is the " company " making? i have no idea but 100% it's a crazy number....Canada has 1 MLB team. They aren't losing esp with the seats we have filled this year and viewers

 

That's pretty irrelevant if they don't increase team spending.
