Michael Brantley in agreement on a 3 year deal with #BlueJays per source.

[The Iceman]

There was chatter

BUT

Didn't see this coming...

[Slade]

Surprised on the term but I like the move. Wonder if Gurriel or Grichuk get moved for some pitching help.

[Krylian]

Look at Hazel breaking the news.

[jerb]

Already posted and not sure who Bradley is

[Sorrow]

A Braves beat writer broke it a few hours ago and Joey Vendetta about 15-20 mins before Mae. Some randoms seems to have better connections than some of the Jays writers now lol.

[Orgfiller]

Significant typo in the title had me worried for a second.

Already posted and not sure who Bradley is

 

Milton Bradley?

[Orgfiller]

Milton Bradley?

 

There's a Bradley in this year's FA class lol.

[Sammy225]

Now this is where things get interesting. Someone is getting traded and likely for pitching help....... But who

[L54]

Awesome. Brantley was always such a perfect fit - left handed, contact, OBP.

[L54]

I f***ing love Shapiro and Atkins. Most Jays fans don’t deserve them.

[Jays24]

Omg are you kidding me? Are we this f***ing cool now? Take a bow Shatkins!!!

Not thrilled about the fit on the current roster, there are already a plethora of guys whose best position is at DH. I like both Gurriel and Teoscar a lot, it will be interesting to see who is moved out to clear space. This certainly makes for a very stout lineup though, this team is going to scare a crazy amount of runs.

[Angrioter]

Wahahahahahaha

[JG34]

These signings in the last 24 hours are amazing! Curious to see what they’ll do next!

It is obviously a pre-cursor move..... No sense in worrying yet, they are moving pieces on a chess board, let's see what their final moves are..

[The Iceman]

His dad used to be the hitting coach for the Jays many years ago

[Inklink]

Yeah baby!

[glory]

Not sure how Atkins is going to make all of this fit, but Brantley is a great hitter. Can't go wrong adding a bat like that to the lineup.

[LGBJ29]

This is f***ing awesome. Probably makes Springer feel over the moon at home too. Trade for pitching incoming this is the best offseason in a long time

I'm definitely not worried, more of a nervous excitement I guess. I would surmise Gurriel is likely to be the odd man out, I'd keep Teoscar on board since he can cover in center field from time to time, where Gurriel is likely limited to left.

[burlingtonbandit]

Hoping its like 3/35 but have a feeling its going to be more like 3/45

[ColdPint]

There must be a trade or trades in the works. I'd love to see Gurriel remain and Grich be the odd man out but Gurriel probably holds a lot more trade value. I'd guess that Teo is getting full time ABs at DH, which also leaves Tellez pretty much out of the mix. Unfortunate, because I think he would put up a very good stat line if given the opportunity.

 

The next week should be a flurry of activity.

 

This lineup though......man.

[glory]

So that's Chatwood, Yates, Springer, and Brantley added. There's either going to be trades or a few DFA's coming up.

[Carlos Danger]

We are now a hitter rich team. There are pitcher rich teams that need hitters. Blue Jays, meet the Marlins, Indians ,Pirates and Royals.

[z3r0s]

Hendricks & Bryant for an OF and 'spect?

[Slade]

Who would of thought Jared Porter's penis would help tip the dominoes in our favour?

[Laika]

Thanks, Dick Fiasco!
