Donaldson Aug 31 Trade Thread

[dineke]

Why is it taking so long? Passan and Rosenthal slacking.

[Pendleton]

I'd love Tyler Freeman here, but I'll guess it's Willi Castro and Eli Morgan.

 

They traded Castro, no?

[Ziggyy108]

Will we get more than what we gave up for him?

[P2F]

They traded Castro, no?

 

If they did, I need to update my NPD list.

 

Edit: They did, I'm dumn.

[P2F]

Will we get more than what we gave up for him?

 

Lol no.

[metafour]

Will we get more than what we gave up for him?

 

Yeah, we're going to get more for an injured version of him with 1 month left on his contract than we gave up for him with years of control left in his prime.

lol... stop, go home.

[Pendleton]

Yeah I just looked, went to the Tigers for Leonys Martin in July and they have him up to AAA.

[Brownie19]

Will we get more or less than what we got for Joe Smith lol

 

Why the LOL? Our return for Smith was solid and probably about what we could expect for JD right now.

Yandy Diaz

Yup. Already updated my post.

[Spanky__99]

I have no idea what the return would be for a month and a bit of injured Donaldson.

 

Agreed kid.

[tazsub3]

Regardless our fans have been adored through, everything.... ends in s***.

 

it could be worst, we could be the montreal canadian and the ottawa senetors

How long they have him shouldn't matter. most deals at the deadline are built for the playoffs anyways.

40 man roster possiblities - Yandy Diaz, Greg Allen, Erik Gonzalez, Tyler Olson, Ryan Merritt

[Key22]

The positive I suppose is that Shatkins should know the Cleveland system a little better. So they may get the lesser name with better future results. I remember when the Dodgers GM was talking about the Tampa Rays GM that Tampa always asked for the "right names" in trades not necessarily the "touted" names high on the lists. The Dodgers hired him.

 

A known commodity could be better than the second round pick I suppose. Shatkins does seem to like middle infielders so Freeman seems like a guy to target.

 

Perhaps they will get one of those "thanks for all your hard work in Cleveland" type returns - one can hope anyway. I think they should probably target the highest upside arms as possible. IF SRF is the future - I am not too convinced.

That's the point!?

Ewwww...

I love Yandy Diaz's hitting stats. Why hasn't that translated to ML success?

The guy is huge and hits rockets but without looking I believe his launch angle is essentially right into the ground

"Shapiro & Atkins should be terminated immediately for collusion."

 

 

Majority of fan's perception of this by casual fans is Horrible.

Jays Reddit sub is terrible.

[TheHurl]

I dunno man, Makesiondon Kelkboom as some serious name cred

 

If they trade for both I will run naked through the blue jays office and give Atkins a big kiss.

[King]

 

Woops. How does this get 59 likes? They aren't even the worst managed team in their division. and The Browns have won like 2 games in the past 3 NFL seasons.

 

Like, 28 current NHL front offices are absolutely terrible.

Can't trade for someone on the 40 unless they cleared waivers though.

If we could fix the launch angle, hmm..

The Indians have a pretty good player development team. I'm certain they've tried to work with him.
