Offseason Roster Thread 2017-18

we were second in the AL in attendance and we lost 86 games last year.

 

Which is why he is saying he didn't start a rebuild last year. Optics would be horrible and recovering those 20 somethings might be difficult. It really is a tough juggling act for a F.O.

 

I might even offer Donaldson an extension before actively pursuing a trade

I don’t think people realize how lucky the Jays are with their fanbase. It’s a young, diverse, and energetic fanbase in a sport whose fanbase is mainly old white guys. There has to be some consideration taken to trying to keep that fanbase from disengaging, even if it’s competing for a wild card spot.

Cue the Jays in on Cain thread

[Terminator]

Cain is a really good player. Might be the top position player on the market but for whatever reason his skillset commands a lot less than the other top free agents. If he'd take something like 4 for 70 I think we could get surplus value out of that. Not sure what we would do with Pillar in that scenario. We could keep him and have fantastic OF defense or we could move him.

[TheHurl]

man, he only pitched at high-A last year and walked 5 per 9. They really think they are going to roster him for the year? (especially a team of that quality).

 

I guess he apparently throws near 100, so there is that

 

But the Gose vs. Marisnick argument can heat up again.

[jaysguy44]

#STLCards keep pushing for Donaldson, sources tell The Athletic. #BlueJays remain disinclined to move Donaldson, planning to compete in 2018. Asking price high. No indication deal is close.

[Todd]

The winter meetings for the blue jays was very disappointing. For the second year in a row.

[Ray]

Sign Cain, trade for either Profar or Villar and call it an offseason.

Why's that? What did you expect to happen that didn't?

Jays speaking with the White Sox about A.Garcia

[jays4life19]

Cue Jays in on A.Garica thread.

[glory]

Have the Jays under Atkins ever made a move that was discussed by the media beforehand? I can’t think of one. The Jays next move will be for a player none of us have talked about or heard a peep about from the media.

[Angrioter]

Avisail kinda suck

[Todd]

Blue jays management should stop feeding the blue jays fans all this B.S.

And just say they want the team to finish last. For the next 10 years.

This is how bad they have been since taking over the team.

True or false

[jays4life19]

Avisail kinda suck

 

Yeah. Cut his K% down but got tons of BABIP luck. He looks to be a slighty above average bat with below average D in a corner OF spot going forward. Pass.

Encouraging Todd makes me hate you

[P2F]

Wasn't it Todd's banning that made JFL briefly rage-quit the board?

[jays4life19]

Lol.

 

I try and stick to PMs with him to not piss off the board.

He's like Ozuna - only shittier (probably).

Heard the Jays are in on cc sabatia. #barf

No it was BigJohn or something. Guy was a douchebag.

Honestly I just assumed they were the same person.

[jays4life19]

Lol wow

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah. It seems likely he re signs there

 

As expected:

Question for all of you arm chair GMs. How does this FO get rid of Morales? What can they do? I mean, they could outright DFA him, that's the easy (but financially painful) way out. But what else could they do? Any ideas?

I don’t have any specific teams that I can think of as fits, but you could offer to take back a bad contract that at least fills a need. Something like Morales for Ellsbury? I don’t think the Yankees need a DH though.

 

The other way would be to see if someone will take his contract if we offer up a prospect. Would Connor Greene be interesting enough for someone to take the whole contract?
