Jays met with CC.....not wanting any of that at all

 

On a one year deal I'd be happy to have him as a vet #5 innings eater. He gave the Yankees some dependable innings even after his stuff declined and they have great things to say about him as a pro. Probably would be a good mentor for our younger arms.

Yeah, considering that the 5th starter is Joe Biagini, Sabathia would be a welcome addition.

I would still rather Liriano. I really hate watching CC pitch. He kinda oozes around.

Oh, there's no chance I'd watch any CC starts. Watching that giant gut shake around is f***ing disgusting.

He could definitely mentor some of the kids on the finer points of alcoholism.

I don't know man, Liriano can get pretty unwatchable at times. He's such a wild card.

First of all it was functioning alcoholic...secondly when he was young it wasn't alcohol it was just about fame and acting like a child (dating Serena will mess anyone up). I'd say that he was a lot like how Stro is now. He matured poorly as he hit the bottle when that life wasn't the same.

Sounds like a mentor type of guy to me.../convinced

Jays meeting with Sabbathia

 

How many years can he expect to get?

 

Sabathia has indicated that his preference would be to stay a Yankee. So for the Jays to sign him, I'd say it'll probably take a 2 year deal.

Yeah it would take something like 2/24 at least. I don't think the Yankees go two years, but Sabathia might want to stay there enough to take 1. The Angels might offer two, and I'm sure he'd prefer LA over Toronto in that case.

 

Doesn't look very likely and his age makes him a risk, but I would be ok with signing him.

I'd love to have him at 1 for 12M or something. I just don't see him accepting rhat from the Jays when others will surely match it

 

I doubt he feels like facing rhat Yankees lineup 18 times a year

That’s a pretty candid statement

It is

 

Essentially admitting that the FO knew the team probably wasn't good enough, but were unwilling to start a tear down just yet in fear of alienating the still stong fanbase that was still filling seats and generating revenue

 

Or am I taking this the wrong way??

So basically admitting that we lost a season in order to not rustle the dumb casuals, great.

Teams would kill to have Toronto's fan base. Young, loud, passionate, and have the potential to sellout every game. Not to mention traveling to other parks and being louder than the opposing team's fans. In a sport that needs young eyeballs, the Jays are a pretty enviable situation. Killing that off after two straight ALCS appearances would have been pretty difficult to do. Thankfully we have a front office that understood that but also understood that they couldn't afford to sell off any more prospects, so they have tried to blend competing and rebuilding at the same time. I guess more of the same expected in 2018.

It's not like they missed out on selling anything with their fake competitive season. I'm getting pretty scared that ownership will prevent them from extracting value from JD though.

Basically Shatkins wants to start from scratch snd byild a young core from there, but ownership is pressing them to milk anything out of this aging and shriveling core

 

I too, would like a slow death.

The casual all hate this management so that didn't even work. All the season did was keep the stock booking for Rogers executives bonuses
