2022 Trade Deadline Thread

[Key22]

What is the upside here for the Jays?

 

edit: other than giving the folks at sportsnet something to talk about.

 

Insurance - in case a starter gets hurt or falters - His numbers are actually quite good even with the dip in fastball and K numbers - doesn't walk many or give up bombs. He's been better than Berrios or Kikuchi this year so not a bad get if the cost is pretty low.

I feel their really in on Soto, and have plenty of deals set up. Like the most of MLB buyers.

 

Now you're talking. Let the Nats pick whatever 4 prospects they want. It's time to win the WS.

[Omar]

Did Atkins go on vacation or something? Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone are building a superteam and Ross Stand-Pat-kins is asleep at the wheel. WAKE UP ROSS. Put your team of nerds to bed, roll up your sleeves, grab a bottle of bourbon and start shipping prospects out for veteran talent ASAP.

Yeah and Sportsnet will have a field day with him coming back.

[Carlos Danger]

If we get Thor, I want the Church to come with him or just a blah move…

Perhaps but I doubt it as a deadline type of deal. I could see them potentially working out a winter deal for Soto when they have time to address several needs and gear up for the upcoming season. Trading for soto right now isn’t the wisest move imo.

Back2Back!!!

[Spanky99]

He's a perfectly fine backend SP who costs a ham sandwich to acquire. Him, Kikuchi and Stripling can handle the 4 and 5 spots and will also battle it out for the #4 SP spot in the playoff rotation. He's nothing special but provides what we need to make sure we get into the playoffs.

 

This^^^^

Fleece the Nats for Soto, win 2 World Series with him and then flip him for prospects better than the ones we gave the Nats in the first place. This s*** is easy.

How can they do a winter deal if the Nationals are trading him in the next 18 hrs?

Hahahaha... well played.

This feels like high school where I always pushed back a huge project til the night before the due date.

He's looked durable this year yes. I was hoping for something more though. We're in the playoffs regardless.

I dont like the idea of Thor or Iglesias, Both have velocity is down, in 39 games Iggy has 3 BS annd 6 losess. Im a hard pass on on Iggy, Thor not too sure about it.

4/5 starter or bullpen guy who may get to 97 not starting (doubt it though)

I'm not sanguine on the thought of Thor as a Jay. I would take Iggy though.

[Spanky99]

How can they do a winter deal if the Nationals are trading him in the next 18 hrs?

 

Depends on the return, they can wait and get the entire leagues take on his value, he's gone, IMO.

[Terminator]

I SWEAR TO GOD if Ross "Sit on His Ass"-Kins gets A SINGLE HOUR of sleep tonight he should be fired on the spot. I will buy one share of Rogers stock and will demand to see his cell phone bill at the next shareholders meeting. If I see anything even remotely resembling a break for sleep on that cell phone bill his ass will be fired on the spot after I call for a vote. WAKEY WAKEY ROSS it's time to start trading prospects.

I thought he was saying the Jays should wait until the winter??

[Terminator]

Trade every prospect we have, who cares we can always get more. I guarantee you none of them will be as good as Juan Soto.

[JaysAllMighty]

Jays are suspiciously quiet. Hoping for a huge trade announcement.

Prospect = Suspect.....until proven otherwise.

Eno Sarris did some recent analysis of Thor's stuff and it was not good at all, as in gotten worse. Beyond the V loss. I realize we would get him as a rental taking salary and giving a bucket of balls, but there is a good reason for that. I guess he would eat some innings but I don't see how it moves the needle.

Just send them the entire Buffalo team.

Dude, Syndergarrd's value is f*** all.

[mellowgold]

Atkins is gonna come away with two Sotos here.
