Astros are on the verge of acquiring Francisco Liriano

[jaysblue]

I'm scouting the waiver wire in the LOD as we speak preparing to add whichever OF the Astros plan on giving the Jays.

[Abomination]

Myles Straw.

 

Just looked up an outfield from Sickels top prospect list at random.

 

That's my guess.

 

It'll most likely be someone on the 40 man.

[Slade]

Teoscar Hernandez another possibility.

 

Would take that in a heart beat.

And this is why the LOD is the best.

I was about to comment on how well turning Hutch into McGuire, Ramirez, + whatever jabroni we get here worked out. Then I looked up the numbers and pretty much everyone involved in this sequence of moves is terrible now.

 

+1. The guys we got from Pittsburgh are awful. But then again, most lottery tickets are losers....the guy we get for Liriano will probably also be a loser. However, buying a lottery ticket is always fun.

Eh, even though Hutch sucks, and Liriano was crap this season, I think they still did pretty well. Added some depth to the farm system for pretty much nothing and took a reasonable gamble with Liriano that worked in '16 and flopped in '17.

[Angrioter]

Teoscar for sure.

Handsome Jake is back!

Judge moves at the time they were made

Actually none of those outfielders we named as possible targets are available. My great plan is ruined.

"Rival execc saying Jays may be paying some of Liriano's for a better return"

 

I'm down for that

[Sammy225]

Rival execs saying Jays may be paying some of Liriano's for a better return

 

I'm down for that

 

Makes perfect sense.

[Slade]

That's cool, we're not looking for salary relief so if paying money gets us better prospects I'm good with that.

They should. Team isn't strapped for cash. If anything, that's the one advantage they have in trades. Just eat up salary for everyone except Smith and get a better return, even if it's marginal.

Yeah, not complaining. Most prospects fail. I was just legit surprised at how bad McGuire and Ramirez have been, and Liriano has been a dumpster fire. Trade looked like a complete heist for awhile, but it looks like Pittsburgh had a read on their guys.

Both were hurt if that counts for anything.

[Captain Adama]

Definitely getting Derek Fisher

[jaysblue]

Probably Teoscar Hernandez if the Jays are kicking in money to get a better return.

[HERPDERP]

It's Aoki

OF Nori Aoki

[jaysblue]

YEs!

[Slade]

Nori Aoki and a Minor leaguer.

[glory]

Aoki is probably for salary reasons. Wonder who the minor leaguer is.

[jays4life19]

Does taking Nori Aoki increase the chance of getting a better prospect? lol

[jaysblue]

I'm buying a Nori Aoki jersey this week!

[Maine Jays]

If the minor leaguer is Reed, this won't seem quite so bad
