Am I dreaming? Goins non-tendered and Aledmys acquired, it’s a dream

f***ing hell yes!

 

I f***ing love Ross Atkins. God I love him so much.

[Spanky99]

Nice, what a day!

[Abomination]

Holy crap, and we basically paid nothing to get him too!

This is a great pick up

Did we just dump Goins and get a potential SS for JB f***ing Woodman?

[fatcowxlive]

Very nice pickup for no cost!

[BTS]

So apparently he's not even arb eligible until 2020. This is solid.

[glory]

Damn all we gave up was Woodman?

 

Atkins ain’t messing around. Goins out, Diaz in, huge upgrade.

[jays4life19]

We got raped.

 

 

JK.

[burlingtonbandit]

That seems like a steal. Even if he's a lot closer to 2017 than 2016 great gamble. Woodman's strikeout rate makes him a likely bust.

[JG34]

Great move, love me some Diaz!

[Boxcar]

There's a 3+ WAR SS in there somewhere, we gotta bring it out.

[BTS]

Diaz might not even be good, but he'll make the minimum for the next two years, was acquired for basically nothing, and has a good chance to be a pretty good utility player. Replacing Goins with him is fantastic.

[glory]

All he has to be is replacement level and he’s an upgrade on Goins. We got him for a guy who can’t make contact in A ball at age 22. It’s a pretty damn good risk to take even if Diaz is a bust.

Six years of control, with three at basically the minimum major league salary.

I know he had a s***** year last year, but if he can regain any semblance of his 2016 self, this deal is ridiculous.

Four posts mentioning the number of posts made with a short time span, and commenting on the speed of the offseason.

How can you tell it's been a slow offseason?

[Cleveland Steamer]

Fringe SS for fringe OF.

[bones10]

awesome little pickup

Yup. Even if he hits to his projections and can provide average D than the Jays win this deal big.

 

It's also sexy because he has the potential to be much better. Perfect depth guy to roll the dice on.

[P2F]

This is so tits, you guys. What an enjoyable last 45 minutes or so.

[Brownie19]

Wow - this is wicked

[Dr. Dinger]

Merry Christmas, Boxy!

[Slade]

Has 5 years of team control remaining!!!!!!!!

[Daniel Labude]

We ain't playing around this offseason.....first of many great moves to come!!!!!!!

[Spanky99]

Merry Christmas, Boxy!

 

Wow, this post brought out a North sighting?
