jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Hahahaha... Mahle though is a better arm than Mitch White. Mahle has the potential to be a solid No. 2 or 3 in a rotation. 210 K's last season in 180 innings and is only 27 still.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 The f***? They added two decent bullpen upgrades as well as a swing-man. I think you're just upset because we didn't snag any sexy names. Nailed it, said the same thing earlier.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I like what the Twins have done. Adding Mahle, Jorge Lopez, Sandy Leon and now Fulmer. Nothing flashy by any means, but definitely solid additions to fill out the rotation and bullpen. And the funny thing is, the Twins don't even have the core Toronto has in place and are more banged up, yet these are the type of moves a team with Postseason aspirations should be making. Well what about White, Bass, Pop and Merrifield? Surely those guys are comparable talent-wise to the 4 you mentioned? I'm not sure what the Twins gave up either but my guess is they gave up a lot more.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Beasley to the Pirates for cash is such garbage. I thought the Jays had all this money to make moves, yet they gave away a possible bullpen piece for nothing to offset cash coming in from Merrifield and Bass? Wtf? Am I missing something here? Beasley stinks and was taking up a 40-man spot.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Have we mocked the Rockies over this yet? lmao

That he was about to be DFA'd like Banda to open up a 40 man spot for one of the acquired players and the Jays got what they could rather than DFA him. You really think the Jays out here selling players to have enough cash to acquire someone?

I'm not sure what the Twins gave up either but my guess is they gave up a lot more. I made that post before Toronto made those last minute deals at the deadline for Merrifield and White. As well, I said the Bass and Pop were solid adds for the Blue Jays. Mahle is a significant improvement to this rotation if the Blue Jays were able to acquire him. He was a solid No. 2 or 3. Like you even said, would have been nice to add an impact arm like Rodon or Mahle or Cobb if the Jays could have.

Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Sanchez was DFA'd. I wouldn't mind sticking him in the pen and seeing what happens. At some point he's got to realize he's not a viable starter anymore.

Eat My Shatkins Verified Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 We just carved a bunch of s*** out of our pen, hopefully it can stay that way.

At some point he's got to realize he's not a viable starter anymore. Sign him to a minor league deal and have him in Buffalo as insurance. Wouldn't be a bad idea. I would like to see a team give him a long look as a reliever. Think his stuff can play out there.

Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 you know he throws like 89 now right? lmao
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 you know he throws like 89 now right? I'd still take him on an MiLB deal...
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I'd still take him on an MiLB deal... Hahaha... I'd take anyone on a MILB deal.
guylaroche5 Verified Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Have we mocked the Rockies over this yet? It's not surprising when you realize this is the franchise that is paying the Cardinals to employ their franchise stud and then used the savings to hand out an albatross to an inferior player. It's actually kind of amazing how bad they are at their jobs.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 We should snap up Sanchez now that Stripling is going on the IL. Sanchez is better than Hatch or whoever other emergency starter is in the org. It was a fail to not acquire a #4/5 starter at the deadline.

Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/10446-The-Blue-Jays-acquire-Mitchell-White I'm well aware. White was not acquired to be a starter, but a swingman. SP depth was and remains a significant problem that Sanchez would help address.

Yeah Sanchez is a guy that the club should be looking into for some rotation depth.

Aaron Sanchez has a 6.00 FIP in AAA this year He's not helping a competitive team with anything probably worse than even Tommy Hatch
Laika Community Moderator Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Is Justin Nicolino still in affiliated ball? Should have traded for Thor, signed Sanchez, and brought in Nicolino.

Laika Community Moderator Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Debatable. If you have better ideas on SP depth acquisition, say it. Nestor Molina
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Jharel Cotton was a recent DFA.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Is Justin Nicolino still in affiliated ball? Should have traded for Thor, signed Sanchez, and brought in Nicolino. Lets bring back Kyle Drabek as well while we're at it!
mellowgold Verified Member Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Is Justin Nicolino still in affiliated ball? Should have traded for Thor, signed Sanchez, and brought in Nicolino. Apparently he's pitching for the Reds' AAA team!
