Yup confirmed, pretty much waiting on Stanton's approval before deets come out, Castro going the other way.

Maybe not 15 years, but they're f***ed for many for sure.

How many 5th deck shots will Stanton hit in Toronto?

[JaysAllMighty]

Maybe not 15 years, but they're f***ed for many for sure.

 

Jays strategy: Back to back intentional walks, problem fixed.

Shocking that Jeter has turned the Marlins into the Yankees' farm team.

[G-Snarls]

Apparently Stanton to NY is close to done

 

f***

[BlueJays]

It's time to trade Donaldson

[G-Snarls]

Dammit dammit dammit

 

I knew they'd get either Stanton or Harper

 

Nationals should try to extend Harper now

[G-Snarls]

It's time to trade Donaldson

 

Yep

 

Might as well trade Stroman to the Yankees now too

 

Aim for being competitive in 2020/2021

[burlingtonbandit]

I rather the Yankees get Stanton for $300M than Ohtani for nothing.

[Spanky__99]

Hah... Sonny Gray!!!

 

[Spanky__99]

Wonder if the Dodgers swoop in now with a similar offer, it is where he wants to play.

[Captain Adama]

The Jays fan in me is in full despair mode.

 

But the baseball fan in me is getting erect at the thought of Stanton going to hit with most of his games played at Yankee Stadium goddamn.

But the baseball fan in me is getting erect at the thought of Stanton going to hit with most of his games played at Yankee Stadium and the AL East, goddamn.

 

Ftfy

And a bunch more at Fenway, RC, and Camden. If he stays healthy he’s going to have silly numbers.

Setting the new AL home run record should be a reasonable expectation.

[SAAviour]

So I guess Yanks will be out on Harper...and turn their attention to, hmmmmm how about Donaldson as a free agent next year.

Kill me!

[BTS]

 

lol

that's okay, to counter, the Jays will sign a washed up relief pitcher to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training

[Pendleton]

Everything is darkness

[G-Snarls]

Lmao Didi

 

Love the self deprecating humour

[Daniel Labude]

Dammit dammit dammit

Id rather them get Stanton now than Harper or Trout in the future

[glory]

This will dampen the excitement of when the Jays signing Robbie Ross Jr in a few weeks, won't it?

 

Seriously though, good for baseball. Home runs are marketable, and Stanton/Judge both in NY will be good for the sport. I want MLB to grow, not as much as I want the Jays to win, but I wasn't expecting the Jays to win in 2018 anyway, so whatever.

 

The best thing to happen now is for more of the 2nd wild card competition to improve. The Angels already did. The more the Jays chances look s***, maybe it might force the team to trade JD. It would look almost delusional to hold on to him now when the absolute best case is the 2nd wild card and even that is far from certain.

They'll get Machado. Could be a few tough years for the Jays

[Daniel Labude]

I don't think they will get Machado. Probably turn their sights on pitching.....what if they open the vault some more and sign Darvish lol

[G-Snarls]

Not a bold prediction that Stanton soon becomes the next member of the Rogers Centre 500 level HR club

[glory]

Yep. Torres at 2B with Castro gone, and Machado at 3B. Stanton's contract might make that harder to pull off if they don't want to go too far over the lux tax, but I still think they will end up making it happen.
