Wow!

[THANOS]

Amazing! I wonder how much we needed to eat?

[gruber92]

Thank you jesus

[Muck Bartinez]

Excellent news!

[Candy Maldonado]

yay!

[bones10]

Cya fatty, although he was tearing the cover off the ball for a decent while at some point last year

[jaysfan2014]

Good to hear. Now we can use that roster spot for a player not limited to the DH spot.

I was getting depressed thinking about Smoak and Morales hitting back to back in the line up.

[Krylian]

Yes! f***ing yes!!!

 

f***ing Morales is f***ing gone!

 

Yes!!

[bones10]

Tellez takes his spot ?

[Angrioter]

Tellez time?

[glory]

Damn how the hell did Shatkins pull this off? The return is probably s***, but who cares?

 

I don't think this was for Tellez, it is probably to play both Teoscar and McKinney at the same time, with Pillar in CF and Grichuk in RF.

[Maahfaace]

Nice work shatkins

[Jimcanuck]

Drury > Tellez

 

When Vlad arrives, I expect Drury will fall into the Morales role of DH and occasional 1B.

 

Great trade, Pillar next

[Daniel Labude]

I like it

[Jonn]

So much more them wanting Morales to mentor the young Latinos lol.

 

Saves a little money and opens a spot for Tellez.

[Spanky99]

Holy Faaaaaaack!!!

[Inklink]

Thank God!

[Jimcanuck]

Only room for 1 fatty on a team is the rule

[glory]

Who is going to provide the vetrin presents now?

[The Cats Ass]

How much international money are we up to?

[P2F]

We can only hope.

When you trade Morales for Jesus.

#BlueJays acquired AAA 1B from Reds. Tellez substitute

[tercet]

Opens a spot more alford/mckinney/mirage/gurribabip/pompey/tellez/drury to get more abs..

 

The loser(s) will get shipped to Buffalo (prob gurribabip)

#BlueJays acquired AAA 1B from Reds. Tellez substitute

 

I think he's there to fill up one of the outfield corners since Alford is the only healthy OF they have in AAA.

[Krylian]

Hope they checked with Stroman first before pulling the trigger on this deal.
