Cardinals to Sign Dexter Fowler

[RealAccountant]

Christ, so much disrespect for Bautista, who is actually projected to perform better than Fowler.

[Abomination]

For what it's worth, he did say that he "confirmed with "the Cardinals", meaning he's confirmed it with the club.

 

Interesting that he's doing the physical before it's even confirmed that he's signed with them. Maybe that means he hasn't. But things aren't looking good.

 

It's kind of odd no one else has picked it up. It's probably true, but it could also be that someone hijacked his Twitter feed or something.

[burlingtonbandit]

seems weird since he said he's "confirmed" with the org. themselves.

[Terminator]

This seems a little weird. Do players take physicals before they sign? Usually it's after but in this instance the reporter seems to be reporting that its backwards.

Must be nice to have money to throw around.

We've spent more than the Cards the last few years lol.

Sign Eddie and put Pearce in LF. And hurry the f*** up. When there is a player that wants to stay here just sign him, even if it's for 1 year longer than you want.

 

I don't want to use the beggars can't be choosers line but trying to go into free agency to replace your best players probably won't work here.

 

Edwin isn't coming to Toronto unless he's taking like 2/30 which obviously isn't happening.

Here's the original source

[fatcowxlive]

Bautista/Moss/Saunders is all that is really left.

 

Lets get Bautista, Moss/Seth Smith, Iannetta and look into relief pitching. I hope that isn't too much of a stretch I know that Shapiro mentioned that the resources are becoming more limited

[Terminator]

We need to start looking at trades.

[Laika]

Might as well tear it down now.

 

Sell JD, Sanchy, Stro, Kev, Osuna, Joe while they are peaking.

Sell Russ, Tulo, Happy, Marco, Frankie, Cheese while someone will still likely take on their contracts.

 

Let's try again next decade. Can't do this without Dexter.

[JTech780]

Stroman and Smoak for Blackmon and McGee, or something to that effect. Then take the money we saved on Fowler and sign EE.

Farm system championship is the only championship that matters anyways.

An outfield of Revere/Moss/Saunders-Pillar-Bautista is f***ing terrifying ughhh

[burlingtonbandit]

This makes the Bautista return even sweeter!

[Laika]

I don't think you guys realize how many other options are out there.

Like who? Not many good outfielders left. Revere, Moss, Saunders, Bautista, Bourn, Pagan, Trumbo ect. not the greatest options

what a joke. Attendance was up almost 20% and the Jays lead the AL in attendance numbers and were 3rd in the entire MLB. TV numbers have tripled over the last 5 years and that's not including the playoffs which had 4 million plus viewers or sportscentre drawing more than a million viewers following games....and the Jays are on track to reduce payroll this year.

[Brownie19]

Hey Jose - you're out 8th option. Welcome back

Lots of trade targets too.

[burlingtonbandit]

Marcell Ozuna plz

[BlueJayWay]

[glory]

 

That was Retweeted by Rosenthal, so looks legit.

 

As far as other OF options, I'm going to say this until someone from the Jays front office reads it and actually listens to me. Jarrod f'n Dyson. Then sign Bautista. You figure between Pillar and Dyson in the OF they can live with a pylon in right or left (wherever they play Jose). Make it happen dammit.

[saskjayfan]

Marcell Ozuna plz

 

who are the Jays going to trade...and there's no way Ozuna is being moved anyways

[skirbs11]

How much would it realistically cost to trade for a guy like Billy Hamilton?

[Jonn]

Peace Fowler!

[Jonn]

 

Over the top offer. Exactly why you pass. We made a more than fair offer.

[RealAccountant]

Wtf are you guys talking about Ozuna is worse in the OF than Bautista
