http://www.torontosun.com/2014/08/16/blue-jays-gm-alex-anthopoulos-set-to-return-next-year - Alex Anthopoulos, the much-maligned general manager of the Blue Jays, will return for his sixth season running the club, a bevy of major-league sources have confirmed. Apparently, there is no temperature at all to remove Anthopoulos from his job — in fact, quite the opposite sentiment exists — with an appreciation internally for the manner in which he has conducted his business. Neither Anthopoulos nor club president Paul Beeston would comment on the general manager’s status. Anthopoulos has taken tremendous heat from fans, and even from some of his players, for his inability to make a significant deal at the non-waiver trade deadline and, of late, the Jays’ playoff chances are fading. Ownership, however, looks at it somewhat differently. No matter what happens over the final 38 games, it appears pleased that Anthopoulous has put the club’s future in good pitching hands with a potential rotation down the road that includes Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Drew Hutchison and minor-league stalwart Daniel Norris — all of whom are 23 years old or younger. THIS AND THAT The cost to acquire David Price, had the Jays finished negotiations in trade talks with Tampa, was Stroman and Hutchison. And that was without being able to open talks to extend Price’s contract beyond next season ... A little truth on the Rogers-Jays-money debate: The Jays never went to Rogers and asked for more money because they were never close enough to a trade that would have required additional funds. They still believe the money was there had they asked for it. You can believe whatever you want ...

Same here They have several more losses than teams they're supposedly contending with. They need to win a bunch, in a hurry. AND THEN they need help from the bottom dwellers. Cause all these games down the stretch against other AL East teams aren't going to help in the battle for a wildcard spot - they're not who we're competing with.

Sweet GB DP Oh, and Seattle and Baltimore are losing

Sanchise in

Home run contests are less fun when no one is hitting home runs

Now confirmed official by Davidi/Jays

I want to see Stroman on the cover of MLB The Show in 3-4 years. Blowing a bubble.

Hutch too. He's a gamer.

AA on FAN590 just now As close as he can say it in AA-speak Sounds like that's almost certainly the plan

Navarro for me tonight please

Carlos Gonzalez To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery By Steve Adams [August 14, 2014 at 11:22pm CDT] 11:22pm: The Rockies have announced (on Twitter) that Gonzalez will indeed undergo season-ending surgery to repair the patellar tendon in his left knee. The operation will be performed by Dr. Tom Hackett next Monday.

Info is from March for 2014 Reimold was out of options even this year Pillar still had at least one, but we used one this year and may have been his last?

Oh praise the lead programmer... MLBTR tells you who is out of options on every team's 40 man roster. Just found this: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/out-of-options-2014.html

Does Pillar have any options left we can use next year? What about Reimold?

Someone please post as soon as they hear officially than Edwin has been activated and is in the lineup tonight

DET now has a series against SEA That helps actually I suspect Tigers fans are as un-calm as we are right now. Of course, they're used to having their team MAKING the playoffs so it's sorta different.

Have to get rolling NOW Just had on off day. Playing a s***** team tonight. Our best starter is going against a one of their mediocre ones. And EDWIN is back. FFS, if you were EVER going to get something going...

Every team we're now chasing won last night

Eliminate divisions and balance the schedule within leagues Top 3 in NL and top 3 in AL get a full series 1 vs WC and 2 vs 3 within league 2 more teams in each league are wildcards and play each other crossover style before playing the AL/NL champs

7 innings 144 game reg season Best of 3 for the WC

Guys, this argument is silly. Enough

Oh, in the first vote, 7 teams voted against him. (Including Beeston/Rogers/Jays) aparently @JonHeymanCBS: So the 7 votes against were both sox, blue jays, diamondbacks, angels, a's and reds. Before the official 30-0 vote anyway

Done deal
