Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal

[Jimcanuck]

If Toronto does sign Springer, I don't really see where Brantley fits in, unless the team flips Gurriel or Teo for SP or infield help.

 

I see a Gurriel flip for an SP. Would make sense....

I feel very strongly that we should cash in on Teoscar.

[Rafters]

There is always the injuries, and off days, no one plays 162 anymore. Lots of lineup flexibility but 5 outfielders and Rowdy/Vlad combo makes it harder

[DigitalRock]

No way he chooses Toronto over NY imo. Hope I'm wrong though.

Agreed. Would much prefer to trade him than Gurriel.

Even with Springer only, I think we might trade one of Teo/Gurriel. Grichuk is too expensive for a 4th OFer. We already have Tellez and Vlad that will be rotating at 1B/DH.

 

Would love to keep them all and basically platoon Tellez and Grichuk. Let Teo DH when Grichuk plays.

What a f***tard.

Considering his age and what’s he’s done to this point, not sure how strong the market would be. He’d prob have to continue it well into next year to warrant meaningful pieces coming back. I’d rather flame out with him than sell him for C prospects

Same... I'd rather gamble and hope he becomes the next Jose Bautista than trade him for an unknown commodity.

I don't think we'd be selling him for prospects.

He could have found a better way to say it but is he wrong?

[Laika]

No doubt in my mind anymore. Springer is a Blue Jay.

 

Also - Kolten Wong is retweeting Blue Jays news (Yates signing).

Dude who gives a f*** anymore lol

He could have not said it at all until a signing is finalized lol.

I think you’re part of the cult at work here

Chatwood, Yates, Springer, and Wong in the past 24 hours?

 

After blue balls for the majority of the offseason, it feels like Blue Jays fans are about to get their release.

His take is stupid. Nobody is calling Springer a "savior", and "the final piece of the puzzle" is a meaningless platitude.

[DigitalRock]

Trump out and possibly Jay's making big moves.? 2021 might redeem itself, let's hope.

[glory]

Wong and Yates are both from Hawaii, and Wong retweeted a Hawaiian site's article about it. I wouldn't read anything into it.

WE don't need Wong. We need pitching. Replace Wong with Paxton, or dare I say Bauer...man now I am getting gready.

I know several Jays employees so it's possible

[THANOS]

Gurriel & Hiraldo for Bryant & Hendricks?

That's exactly what I was going to say. I don't want Wong. Leave Biggio at 2B and use that money elsewhere.

Shad up

Bigger names now weighing in

Joking mostly but I’m just not getting my hopes up lol.

The Blue Jays gained momentum in their pursuit of George Springer earlier today, as @JonHeyman reported, and one source indicated to me tonight that Springer could finalize his plans in the next 24 hours. @MLB @MLBNetwork
