I like how while this is going on the Rockies are also too busy to announce who they're giving up to acquire Oh.

[Jonn]

Yankees must have got their attention. Colour me intrigued.

Yankees system is so deep that thee are far more exciting combos to make in a Happ deal.

[LGBJ29]

 

f*** it Brian, give us an elite return.

[Jonn]

The fact that a bidding war is currently taking place only bolds well for us. Its whoever offers the best prospect first wins.

[Daniel Labude]

So still no word on what we got for Oh?

[Krylian]

Bouchard with his 9th homer tonight. Must be really excited about becoming a Blue Jay.

Let's hope.

Jays have a history of trading starters to the Yankees that go on to have great success there... Cone, Clemens, Wells. What good returns have we ever gotten? Am I forgetting a meaningful piece that had worked out for us?

Cone was traded for a couple of pitching prospects that never made it.

 

Wells was never traded to the Yankees. He was released and made it to the Yankees after going through Detroit, Baltimore and Cinninatti.

 

Clemens was traded for Wells, Homer Bush, and Loyld Graham.

 

Amazingly Wells and Homer Bush outperformed Clemens significantly in 1999/2000. Clemens went on to have several more great years though, in the 2000s.

 

If Halladay and Carpenter could of become Halladay and Carpenter at a younger age it would all been pretty awesome in 1999-2001

This smells like the Jays FO leaking that the Yankees are close to finalizing a deal to drive up the price from the other teams.

I just looked up that trade and it was kind of a weird trade with a bunch of pieces going each way, but McGriff was an 18 year old who tore up a short season league.

 

Hard to see that kind of trade happening these days, to much information on the players. Jays got McGriff, George Bell, and Gruber, and probably other totally under the radar. (Bell and Gruber being rule 5 guys)

Hope it doesn't blow up in their face and the Yanks bow out.

Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins have been doing this for a very long time. They'll be fine.

s***. That's right. I forgot it was Wells that came back for Clemens. My bad.

Reading the Brandon Drury might be a possibility for Happ.

[TheRustler]

Reading the Brandon Drury might be a possibility for Happ.

 

Eww.

[Daniel Labude]

Reading the Brandon Drury might be a possibility for Happ.

 

Sure if it is along with a good prospect

[TheRustler]

Sure if it is along with a good prospect

 

Better be an elite one if they’re taking back that below replacement level trash

[Jonn]

Reading the Brandon Drury might be a possibility for Happ.

 

Hes basically been every Yankees trade rumour since May.

[Slade]

So the Oh trade is not official yet?

[Expos81]

Agreed. Clippard looks physically awkward. Doesn't "look" like an athlete. Looks like someone you dragged out of their mothers basement playing Fortnite. Move him.

 

Lol … so true. Prior to the Jays signing this guy late in Spring Training I had heard his name but I didn't know anything about him. Then I saw him live on TV early in the season and I was pretty surprised. He does not profile physically as an athlete at all ! He looks like a dude who pitches underhand for the company slo-pitch team. Especially his legs that are all wonky from the knees down. But … his first day in professional baseball was one more than I could ever even fantasize about so I have to hand it to him. He got the most out of an awkward non-athletic build.

[Daniel Labude]

So the Oh trade is not official yet?

 

Nope. No official word on what we get except 1 of the pieces is a probably for sure a MiLB 1B
