Blue Jays showing "strong interest" in Dexter Fowler

[Whatsup]

Baseball is more than how well you can hit, which Fowler does pretty well regardless. But he plays at least an average corner outfield and is a huge asset on the basepaths. Which is a great thing considering he gets on base a lot.

 

We could use a good base runner on the base paths. I liked Ben Revere when he was here. Is Fowler any close to his speed?

[Jonn]

Are the Jays looking to sign two outfielders? If we sign Fowler does that mean we lose interest in Curtis Granderson?

 

I'd personally rather sign Granderson. He has the bigger at bat and has a proven track for hitting home runs and RBIs even though didn't hit many RBIs last year.

 

I agree sign Granderson

 

Well hes not a free agent...

Well hes not a free agent...

 

You're replying to two trolls, what did you expect?

[Whatsup]

Ive read that the Jays are interested in Granderson but who would they trade?

[Orgfiller]

Really? Eaton is under contract at under $5 mil per season through 2019 plus two option years. Fowler would cost $11-15 more annually for the same if not lesser value than Eaton, while Eaton is three years younger. The money saved is key, as it can be used to address other needs.

 

Stroman isn't a long term SP solution unfortunately, so trading him now is essential.

 

Fowler most likely will get more than that, probably 4/72. Eaton is at 3/14 plus options.

 

I'm telling you Stroman is definitely not going to be a viable SP option moving forward. At best he'll be a #4-5, if he stays healthy. JMO.

 

A) Biagini can't be any worse than Stroman as a SP

Reported rumors say otherwise

C) If they want Sanchez instead then forget about it, or maybe spice up the prospect going the other way.

 

Landing Eaton would provide great value on a crazy cheap contract for the next 3-5 years.

 

Moving forward as in the next 2-3 years. Stroman's value will be in the pen.

 

Stroman had a 3.41 xFIP and 3.71 FIP this year, Biagini can very easily do worse than that.

 

Of course he can, but it's safe to assume Biagini will match Stroman's numbers over the next three years easily.

 

I don't think this is safe to assume.

 

How is it safe to assume that? Please explain.

 

How the f*** is it safe to assume that? Stroman has outperformed Biagini at every damn level.

 

Signature dibs

 

Stroman's professionalism is also a concern moving forward, although that could change.

 

Who the f*** snapchats what their drinking while in the film room? You're in there supposedly working. That's just one example of many.

 

Revisiting some all-time awful takes from gruber from a few years ago. Yikes.

Someone wanted to eat Eaton's ass.

Well, well. Here's something interesting:

 

Dexter Fowler has a locker with a nameplate in the Blue Jays clubhouse here in Dunedin.

 

Have we finally got our guy?

7 years, 3 months, 28 days ago this would have been an interesting move. I 100% do not want to see Dexter Fowler on the 2022 Blue Jays 40 man roster at any point.

lmao

 

good bump *snort*

It was an awful take at any point in time.

Gruber making a late push for the dumbest poster of the year award.

 

Bwahahahaha... *Dead*

Biangini and Fowler will be team-mates in Buffalo I guess, Stroman is with the Cubs after 3.5 WAR a year like clockwork despite being a head case.
