2019 Trade Deadline Thread

[Laika]

And now there is a Toronto media tweet saying the Jays are not being offered top prospects for Stroman.

 

You guys know better than to react to media hype. Just wait and see.

[Brownie19]

Did you turn back into Brownie and tell yourself that you have mentioned this same point already, therefore are disqualified from ever bringing it up again, even if weeks or months (or years) have passed? That's the real question that needs to be addressed.

 

And I doubt the difference in the two numbers is that much. Even Stroman is not so much of an egomaniac that he's going to want numbers that the market is not seeing. If anything he is probably asking for something similar to what Corbin got (6/140). I doubt the Jays number is any less than 5/80, if it is, then obviously they have no shot.

 

dude I even acknowledged it...relax - and none of us should pretend we have any idea what the potential extension offers or counter offers are.

 

Would you give Stroman 6 years $140M? Would you be mad at the FO if they took that offer, rejected it and decided to trade him? What if it was 8 years for $184? (same AAV as Corbin, but Stro is younger with a slightly longer track record)

Mets about to trade Thor and screw up our market.

 

He'll go to the Yankees for Garcia+. They aren't offering Garcia for Stroman and I want nothing to do with Frazier. It won't do much to the market for Stroman.

Not much of a surprise.

Not sure if it's been said, but MadBum is staying in SF.

[Jimcanuck]

With yesterday's start done, Jays can play the waiting game. Doubt Stroman gets moved until much closer to the deadline. Sooner the better in dealing Giles.

[Todd]

Get the feeling the jays are going to some how f*** up this years trades.

Like the last couple of years. Last year it was to soon could have maybe

got more. This year waiting to long might get less for some of these

players.

Kinda contrary to what Stro has been saying.

Only if it's the actual Thor

[AintNoThang]

I'm guessing it's the latter. Negotiating tactic. All about that leverage.

[Krylian]

Zero leverage. Everyone knows that the Jays haven't even approached Stro about a contract. However, if Stroman could keep his mouth shut then maybe they would've had a bit of leverage.

 

Only way I see the Jays not moving Stroman is if Rogers stepped in and said, "the casuals are angry. Extend him."

[glory]

Yeah whatever leverage the Jays could have had was destroyed by Stro going public. Everyone knows they are trading him.

[Jimcanuck]

Jays have another year of control. They have leverage.

[jaysguy44]

#Twins OF prospect Trevor Larnach is drawing significant attention from scouts. He was just promoted to Double-A. Selling clubs believe Larnach could be attainable since Minnesota has a young @MLB OF and OF Alex Kirilloff also at Double-A. @MLBNetwork

 

Anyone know much about him? Maybe Kidiloff is a pipedream and I'll have to switch my focus to Larnach

[Krylian]

Jays have another year of control. They have leverage.

 

If the plan is to move him, he is worth less next year.

[Boxcar]

Good god, man. Hyphens and commas are not interchangeable.

[Jimcanuck]

Of course. But to say the Jays have 'zero leverage' is wrong.

[Boxcar]

Lol how do they have no leverage? They can opt to keep him and try again in the offseason or next year.

[glory]

They don't have to trade him, yes, but it is hard to use "we might extend him" as leverage when Stroman is saying the opposite every time someone puts a mic under his mouth. So in that sense, leverage is not on the Jays side. They can obviously keep him and use him in 2020, and maybe work on an extension at that point, but I don't think the Jays have any plans on doing that and other teams know it.

[Krylian]

Of course. But to say the Jays have 'zero leverage' is wrong.

 

Zero additional leverage using the 'we'll extend him' threat. Everyone knows that won't happen.

You are placing far more importance on this than is warranted.

 

I don't know if I can overstate how little what Stroman says publicly matters in regards to his trade value. You guys are seriously chicken littling and it's annoying. Cut this s*** out.

There's no Chicken Little going on. The point is, he's getting dealt in the next few days. They're not gonna wait cause his value goes down. They're not gonna extend him cause Stro has already said there's been zero interest. This additional posturing is just a waste of time and makes no difference.

[Boxcar]

Maybe have another one for the irony here.

So your logic

 

They will deal him for an unfair price because the league will conspire against the Jays. Is this your contention? Because if it is, it's f***ing retarded.

People have the ability to change their minds. Hope the reports are true. Extend the Stro show!
