Jays Trade Deadline Thread

[Abomination]

Someone in the Twitter comments (yeah, I know) says the Cubs offered Zagunis, Steele, and Uelmen for Happ. I don't think they're referring to this rumor, so not what we'd be getting.

[glory]

 

Yeah, that's not the same as close to being traded, Mark.

[Brownie19]

Why the f*** is Wilner suggesting Santana is a legit CFer?

[BillSupra]

Oh close to being traded - Steve Phillips

[Spanky99]

What does Kenny Ken say?

[Krylian]

Steve Phillips saying a deal for Oh is close. Could happen tonight.

[Jimcanuck]

Santana would be a great get, his power stroke should return, hitting in the Skybox

[glory]

Really interested to see what Oh gets in return. Having a great year with a cheap option for next year. Should get more than Britton at least.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

This would please me immensely.

 

He's a guy I coveted when they had too many OFs after signing Cain, et al. UFA after 2022, IIRC.

[Jimcanuck]

If the Jays get Santana does that change the calculus on keeping vs. trading Smoak? Not sure that Teo is ever going to be even an average OF, and that big body would be a nice target at 1B

really? I think people are underestimating what Britton pitching with his old velocity and a month of clean sheets is worth.

[Spanky99]

Osuna isn't getting any cheaper, has a huge cloud that will follow him for as long as he's in Toronto, has already had TJS and relievers come with the most inherent risk. His days as a Blue Jay are certainly numbered as I'm sure Atkins would love to move him if someone ponies up a decent return.

 

What's decent? He should fetch a good haul, or f*** off, I say.

According to this board Britton sucks now.

I don't get that moving forward, he's coming off injury, is he a rental though? I forgazy'd.

[jays4life19]

No worries Spanks i forgazy'd all the time myself.

 

Yes is he a rental

This will be Oh’s second really good year in 3 years and he makes $2.5m next year. He’s not prime Britton, but Britton isn’t even prime Britton anymore and is a rental. I’d hope the Jays get more but reputation is on Britton’s side.

I don't know?

Basically just Boxy

[Slade]

 

 

Still would take Frazier for Happ, don't really think that is too high.

If Britton's a rental, Oh should at least get the same haul on that money.

It's not close to too high. Especially given the pitchers who are available

Guys, we're not getting Clint Frazier for a JA Happ rental.

Last hour maybe, but I doubt it that kid's for real.

[King]

[BTS]

 

Excellent.

[P2F]

Some of you, seemingly, will be very disappointed with the Happ return, even though we may yet end up with a pretty nice little haul for just three months of his services. I believe in Shatkins but they're not miracle workers, so get the thoughts of Frazier (and prospects of a similar ilk) out of your heads now because that is clearly a pipe dream; the market for rentals has changed almost entirely in the last couple of seasons. Couple that point with the fact that prospect valuation is finally more in line with where it always should've been - mostly thanks to analytics and the continued evolution of advanced metrics - and you'll see that Frazier for three months of Happ is absurd.

[Pendleton]

Deivi Garcia, Juan Then and Giovanny Gallegos

[Captain Adama]

 

Lol. My Korean friend is gonna be pissed.

[P2F]

Deivi Garcia, Juan Then and Giovanny Gallegos

This would please me. Or a Roansy Contreras in there somewhere before he blows right the f*** up on the prospect scene. It's probably already too late for him, though. He's garnering tons of hype by the start.
