Slade

That's brutal right there but it's a move that needed to be made sooner or later.

From reading this thread people wanted them to trade him "when the time was right".

If the trade officially goes through then he should be. I don't think he's left Toronto since opening day.

That's one thing I don't want to see at all. I hated watching things on theScore because of their constant ticker.

They don't have to hand him the job. They can run with Teoscar LF, Grichuk CF and McKinney RF for now.

Is this a legit post or a troll?

Pretty good return to be honest. De Paul is the centerpiece but we could get something out of the other two. Juan De Paul Track Record: A $175,000 signing out of the Dominican Republic by the Mariners in 2014, De Paula has been traded twice in his career. He was acquired by the Giants in the August 2018 deal that sent Andrew McCutchen to the Yankees. After spending the majority of the last two seasons in the short-season New-York Penn League, the 21-year-old De Paula made only one start in the Giants organization in 2018, striking out nine and walking one in five innings with low Class A Augusta before the season ended. Scouting Report: A skinny, 6-foot-3 righthander with plenty of room to add weight to his frame, De Paula has a plus fastball that sits in the mid-90s and touches 98 mph with above-average life. He has feel for both a changeup and curveball, although both pitches are currently below-average offerings with the chance to become average or above-average pitches in the future. De Paula's secondary pitches and overall control lack consistency at the moment, but that's widely to be expected from a 21-year-old with only one, late-season start in full-season ball. The Future: De Paula has the three-pitch mix of a mid-rotation starter. He's raw and needs to improve his fringe-average control, but he'll receive much-needed experience at low Class A Augusta in 2019. Ranked Pittsburgh Pirates #18 prospect after the 2016 season Once considered among the Top 100 Prospects in baseball--he ranked No. 61 prior to the 2013 season and No. 76 in 2014--Hanson's stock has dropped over the last two years as he has been converted from a middle infielder into a utility player at Triple-A Indianapolis. He made his major league debut in 2016, coming off the bench mostly as a pinch-hitter and pinch-runner. Hanson has been unable to convert his considerable tools into consistent production, though his athleticism still makes him intriguing as a potentially valuable bench piece. The switch-hitter is wiry strong and can hit the occasional home run, and he also has outstanding speed that makes him a threat on the bases. However, he does not always make solid contact. Hanson is not a strong defender and his attitude was questionable earlier in his career. However, he has embraced learning multiple positions. Hanson is out of minor league options, so he will have to fight an uphill battle against Adam Frazier for the utility infielder spot on the Pirates roster. Ranked San Francisco Giants #23 prospect after the 2015 season Law is the son of a big leaguer--sort of. His father Joe made the Athletics big league roster for a few days but never appeared in a game. The younger Law impressed the Giants by piling up strikeouts wherever he went, but he fell to the ninth round in 2011 because scouts were concerned about the effort in his delivery. Their concerns were somewhat validated when Law blew out his elbow and required Tommy John surgery in 2014. He returned to action in late June 2015. His delivery still is not pretty and features a stab in his takeaway, stiffness in his lower half and a finishing spin-off to first base. But Law has toned down his hip turn as he gathers himself over the rubber, and he manages to stay around the strike zone consistently enough to receive average grades for his control. He hides the ball well with his over-the-top delivery, and his stuff bounced back nicely in his return. He still can run his plus fastball up to 93-96 mph, and his 12-to-6 breaking ball is a plus pitch as well, giving him two swing-and-miss offerings. Law is ready for Triple-A Sacramento and could help San Francisco at some point in 2016 as a setup man.

Definitely, I couldn't take another year of Davis.

Lol this game is a s*** show.

What do you mean, he is doing exactly what he's done the last 5 years. 1 half awful and 1 half above average.

You guys are acting like he's ever improved his command in the minors. It's always the same.

Right there was probably the best pitch of the entire inning. He actually hit a spot.

Hahaha, it's going to be one of those days. Complete Blowout against the O's

Honestly this spot should of gone to Gaviglio or Pannone before they even considered SRF.

SRF exactly as awful as I expected. Doubt he even pulls in 2IP today.

They are for sure, hopefully they keep it going. Hard to be much worst than last year.

Turnbull lost the zone, he was looking really good.

Come on Billy that was not worth it.

Haven't seen Sanchez throw any curveballs today.

Where do you get those stats?

Dan Straily has 3 offers from AL Clubs. Got to imagine one of them is us.

Holy s*** they finally updated scoreboard to a nice clean look in the bottom right compared to the previous monstrosity we've had for years.

As expected the $1.5 Million bonus money we picked up is for the current signing period not for the upcoming J2.

Wonder what we would be looking at as our regular lineup. We looking at Smoak and Grichuk as our 3-4 hitters?

Lmao he's not wrong!
