Price is probably worth somewhere between 3/50 and 3/60, so the question becomes what the prospects are worth to make up the difference. That seems about right to me. I'd love more, but both guys are very likely solid major leaguers.
-
I'd eat the whole thing if they sent us something like Casas and Groome.
-
We really need to be taking advantage of it!
-
Man, I used to love that when I was in university!
-
Happ and Loaisiga maybe? edited: NVM. Got him mixed up with someone else. We'd definitely be adding there too.
-
FFS. You have to call obvious fouls like that, especially when it results in a loss of possession.
-
Meh. The weather is probably better in Toronto for April/May and September/October than it is in a few places in the States, and way the hell better in the ballpark. Most players don't live in the city they play in over the winter anyway.
-
Cold doesn't matter because we play in a dome. You could argue that's an advantage for us, but it seems like the cold hurts hitters more than pitchers, so maybe not.
-
Wow. Strasburg is good, but he's also only surpassed 150 innings in 2 of his last 5 years. That seems like a LOT of risk for that high a contract.
-
AD and Lebron have combined for 82 points tonight...
-
If the Raps can take their defense at the end of the game into tomorrow, they're going to give people nightmares. Too bad they didn't play like that for the other 40 minutes.
-
Just how it looked. It took a long time to develop.
-
I wonder what teams are on Heyward's partial no trade?
-
I don't think that was planned either.
-
Yeah. If you're spreading the risk out with lower AAV and more term, it makes sense. Even 4/80 might not be terrible.
-
I wonder what eating the Jansen and Kelly contracts, plus sending Giles to the Dodgers would get us?
-
You would pay Ryu 30M / year for two years, where based on his history, there's a strong likelihood he spends a fair chunk of it on the DL during at least one non-compete season? That's just silly. I could see it (although I think it's a massive overpay) if he was the final piece of the puzzle, but that's not the case.

Blue Jays front runner to sign Yoshitomo Tsutsugo
Abomination replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The translation for anyone not bored enough to pop it into GT: "The Japanese Yoshitomo Tsutsugo deadline for signing with an MLB team through the Transfer System expires on December 19 at 5 pm (ET). Apparently 4 clubs are interested and Toronto is the favorite to sign it." -
No way. Ryu doesn't have the health history for a deal like that to make sense, nor does it make sense with regards to the current state of our team.
-
They do gain two years control as well, and Renfroe improved his defense quite a bit last year. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I can understand it. If Pham's decline in defense and offense continues and Renfroe maintains his, a little more BABIP luck could push them fairly close in value.
-
Maybe they could allow teams to take that 1 year discount at any year during the contract. That would make the player an incredibly valuable trade chip later in the contract.
-
Pretty much no chance. They'd probably give us Joc for Giles, but that doesn't fit our timeline. Maybe we could get something like Josiah Gray and DJ Peters.
-
I'll go with over.
-
As long as it's the right guy.
-
Wheeler is such a weird case. He has so many above average pitches, yet the results don't seem to back them up. He doesn't have that one unhittable pitch like a lot of top pitchers do, so maybe that's hurting him a little. Maybe he just tends to lose it for an inning where he can't stop the bleeding, then is dominant the rest of the game.
