What are the rules for how long you have to wait until you trade a player?

 

A FA who signs a major league contract has an automatic "no trade" right thru June 15th.

The player can waive this right, but if he does he can be traded only for cash and/or player contracts with a max aggregate value of $50,000.

... without the player's consent.

 

does Pearce or Morales want to play for Toronto that badly?

or would they be content for many teams just to pick up their new contract?

(yeah, it wouldn't look good on the Jays to sign a guy and deal him, but it's not impossible.)

 

Anything is possible. But it won't look good to sign someone and turn around and ask him if they could trade you somewhere else. That's a good way to piss off the MLBPA and its not exactly a good way to conduct business period.

Jesus we have a hard enough time attracting FA's as it is. Let's move on - this isn't an option.

Sign a solid OF defender. Play 2 man outfield with Pillar + 2 DHs

 

That would be pretty awesome if we could get Keirmaier, and put him and Pillar out in the OF by themselves. Then maybe we add another infielder between 2nd and short. Probably wouldn't work, but it would be fun to watch.

Except that.

Build a time machine. Go back to the day before the signing on Morales. Don't sign Morales. Sign EE instead.

 

I actually like the Morales signing. The issue came when Fowler's price went berserk.

The Jays chose Morales over Edwin once EE rejected their offer. It's over guys. Let's move on.

 

Nope, it's not. Until he Signs elsewhere he could come back. So far we have replaces JB and Saunders with Pearce and Morales. EE still fits quite nicely.

I agree, we still have space for Edwin, if the budget is there. Pearce is a bench/utility player, who should get around 100 games for us. Sign Edwin for 1b/dh along with Morales, sign a solid outfielder and let Pearce fill in as needed.

It's more along the lines of Morales and Pearce are replacing EE and we still have to find replacements for Bautista and Saunders. Unless your ok with Morales is playing in the OF.

 

People should be prepared for Edwin leaving...cause it's gonna happen

lol why do you keep holding out hope EE will be signed? Makes no sense for him to come back.

 

Crazier things have happened. Its not like his market is booming. Pearce is fully capable of playing a corner.

What do you think are the chances that Smoak is not on the Jays 25-man opening day roster? (DL aside) ... 3-5%?

 

0 percent

 

Hurl and this regime believe in Smoak and his flyballbto HR ratio

The Jays FO said he isn't coming back unless he takes a ridiculous (3/45?) team friendly deal. Which obviously isn't going to happen.
