2024 Trade Deadline

[Abomination]

I guess it's possible someone gets desperate and makes a waiver claim on someone like Yarbrough if the Jays time it right.

[The_DH]

Crap, that might mean we didn't get under the threshold.

 

Hard to believe there isn't a complete determination of the exact amount and a plan for the remainder of the year. The directors would not be so sloppy.

This tweet makes it seem like they just got under

[glory]

imagine if rostering Dan Vogelbach is what puts them over the line

 

$2m for a fat DH who they played like once a week for 2 months.

 

If they pay the tax in 2024 when they'll have one of the worst teams in baseball and had tradeable assets that could have easily got them under, then heads have to roll. That's borderline incompetence.

They are under but they are limited on the moves they can make the rest of the year is what it sounds like to me. Can't make endless waiver claims, maybe can't call Votto up, etc. because they are close to the line and those things could push them over. That said, there aren't a ton of moves to be made at this point so it should be fine.

Atkins still calling the shots it seems.

Probably have a guy in Buffalo ready to go full Tonya Harding on Votto if he even gets close to playing again .

Why wouldnt he be? Because a bunch of clueless fans somehow think he's been stripped of his authority based on nothing but guesses and wishful thinking?

Nah, he's just the puppet for this verbal diarrhea.

lmao... he's been muzzled, I'll roll with the forum whisperer who has a friend on the BOD, thanks.

He's no less in charge than he's always been until he's fired, ditto Shapiro

You have inside information?

I'm clueless and a liar...

[Stangstag]

Fangraphs already updated, they now have the Jays CBT hit for 2024 at 239.6 (over) instead of 235.4 (under). Cots and Spotrac haven't updated yet.

 

 

Unbelievably stupid if they didn’t get under the tax. Really couldn’t take a lesser prospect in one of these deals to get rid of more money?? Come on

Agreed. Would be hilarious if someone f***ed up the calculations and they missed getunder the tax. Should all be fired if that’s the case

They're fine.

Nah, I just know what it's like when I heard from a guy who knows a guy who heard from.... the message was changed 3 times before the end user heard it and is therefore unreliable in detail.

 

I concede the possibility exists, just ... no actual evidence has been presented, and nothing about this trade deadline or recent front office activity would indicate otherwise. It's easy to read into circumstantial stuff like the Houston trade because of Click, but... of course Click would have input on that given that he worked there when the kids were drafted. That just makes sense. Doesn't mean he made the final decision outside of Atkins.
