If they are trading Lauer they better get a legit return for him. Not just doing him a favor. 

Hard to see how he has any value. $4.4M and last year of control. 

I know he was worth 1.4 WAR last year but with his lack of pure stuff, he really does profile as a swingman and nothing more. If he repeats 2025 and then enters free agency what does he get, $7M?

They're NOT trading him

Yes

He's worth more to us as a swingman for 4.4M than what we'd get back in trade 

If more than one stater goes down at any point we'll be very glad we have him

He apparently has asked for one. He wants to be a Starter.

If a team team trades for him with the intention of him going into their rotation they are going to have to give up something of substance otherwise it doesn’t make sense for the Jays who clearly value depth. But has privately asked for a trade although it’s starting to come out now.

[Bob_Gratton]

No need to trade him, unless he's part of a package to get a good reliever. The one Atkins should trade is Berrios. But return won't be great, will be less than what we get for Kiuchi.

On other hands, if Berrios and Lauer  bring bad attitude at spring training camp, complaining because they want guaranteed spot as SP , we absolutely need get ride of them.

So just laugh at him and move on 

[Brownie19]

Why are we still talking about Lauer and his trade demands?  Unreal.

What's next, Nathan Lukes wants a trade because he isn't a full time starter and #2 hitter?  

[Spanky__99]

Lauer had his tits lit today, lol.

Does he have options? Or is intentionally tanking so he won’t make the team and the Jays have to DFA him?

It feels like every spring training, without fail, there's a completely asinine story that captures the minds of the blue jay fanbase. This year it's "what if our 31-year old shitballing swingman demands a trade if he's not in the starting rotation from day 1 of the season"

[Eat My Shatkins]

I still can't believe the Jays let Ryan Yarbrough get away.

Indeed.

Then instead of "what if our 31-year old shitballing swingman demands a trade if he's not in the starting rotation from day 1 of the season"  we could be consumed with "what if our near 35-year old shitballing swingman demands a trade if he's not in the starting rotation from day 1 of the season"

[Omar]

Dylan Cease debut as a Jay...

[Eat My Shatkins]

Please be good, please be good, please be good...

[Omar]

lol....ump missing calls early.

[John_Havok]

anyone have a stream going?

 

[Jays24]

Cant wait to see if Cease will be the best or worst contract on the team after JUST today's outing 

[Jays24]

Berrios 2 shut out innings against Judge and friends while Cease gives up a bomb to a guy without a MLB contract.  

Berrios > Cease

Lol

[Laika]

Berrios 93 today and already eating innings 

[Laika]

 

 

[Omar]

Cease touched 98 today effortlessly.

[Jays24]

Great to see the SP looking great.  Its gonna be a great problem to have if everyone shoves for depth purposes or even a potential trade to patch up a weakness.  

[Laika]

Kasevich > Leo Jimenez

It'd be fantastic if guys like Kasevich and Schreck shoved this season. Would take the Jays already solid depth and make it incredible.

I hope Bastardo makes the cut.
