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

[West Texas Forever]

That is so crazy to read. I won $1,100 on him in Vegas. He made me very happy. He pitched a 2 hit shutout if I remember correctly. Same game?

 

I am not too sure, it was vs Cincinnati I think.

[West Texas Forever]

Weren't you freaking out just 2 hours ago saying that the front office sucked and we wouldn't have another playoff run until 2030?

 

Before this Hutch trade, yes.

[GeorgiaPeach]

In the media world pricing and costing should not a have a correlated relationship

 

Pricing should be driven by market not what you have spent. Even if they only spend $50 mil on payroll they should still charge what the market is willing to pay. It is an independent analysis and to think otherwise is an incompetent viewpoint

 

I'll pay whatever the price is, if I want to go. You'll never hear me complain about ticket prices.

[John_Havok]

I wasn't localizing the issue.

 

But the same fans who say "spend, it's not my money." And a few months later that extra $10 a ticket causes them to have a seizure is beyond ridiculous.

 

No argument there

The league should really step in on this #pirates trade. It's embarrassing.

 

Wow, a guy in Sheehan's position should not be making a tweet like that.

US Cellular and Wrigley crossed of my list.

 

Atlanta's new park is on next year's list

[GeorgiaPeach]

Jays just did this to Pittsburgh.

Gibbons was in a lengthy meeting with Sanchez, Pete Walker and Dane Johnson. Wouldn't reveal firm plan beyond Friday. #BlueJays #MLB

He's commenting on the pirates dumping salary while they receive max revenue sharing and potentially extra picks in the draft every year. It's a valid point of view

[fatcowxlive]

Zaun flapping his lips too much on Tim & Sid, saying the clubhouse is going into disarray because Sanchez goes to the BP...

Do you smell that? It's your Sunday roast. *plays with his rings on his fingers and smirks*

Nice

Yea but that ended up working well for the Marlins. The chance of this working out for the Pirates hinges on Hutch becoming significantly better than what hes projected to be. Which is a quality 4th starter.

Lol he's being a piece of s***, he's not helping the situation at all right now. He's not talking negatively, he's trying to entice a problem. He just said the FO cares more about Sanchez than Stroman because they're letting Stroman go

[dineke]

reese mcguire is deck's bro right?

[Seanie]

Liriano, garbage seasons:

 

2009, 2011, 2012, 2016

 

Good seasons

 

2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015

 

The guy is bipolar.

 

I hope Martin can help turn him around.

Stirring that s*** stick I see haha, fun times.

He's not commenting on the talent level of the players and prospects. He's saying the league should step in because the Pirates are dumping salary, while they continue to receive max revenue sharing and extra picks in the draft every year because of their market

[Dylan]

So Liriano, Feldman, Bolsinger, Reese McGuire and Harold Ramirez for hutch and chavez x2? Good day.

I really hate Zaun at times like this when it comes to the analytical side of the game.

[wamco]

Great beard, good looking guy who competes. What's not to love?

Met him last week and got his autograph. Was really nice . Colabello was hilarious as well. Wish them both well. 2017 not looking necessarily doom and gloom

I remember the year Liriano came out on the scene I thought he would win multiple Cy Young's. He was virtually unhittable

Pompey is not considered a prospect anymore? Also, Tellez ahead of Vladdy Jr.

[Abomination]

On an average night at the dome Rogers makes between $5 - $6 million on ticket sales, merch, food, drinks... not including TV revenue.

 

There's a lot of costs that bring that figure way down. For starters, we pay 31% of our local net revenue into the revenue sharing pool. On top of that, because we're one of the 15 biggest markets we're disqualified from RECEIVING any of that pooled revenue (we do get refunded a portion of it though I believe, probably half). Merchandise sales go into a central distributed fund, and food/drinks is managed by a 3rd party on a fixed contractual basis I believe. There's also all the staff we have to pay.

With this trade and the early returns from the draft, we are drastically deeper in position player prospects.
