Nothing in that system is even interesting in the context of a Donaldson trade. At least New York has upside guys like Florial and Sheffield.
-
He beat you weeks ago.
-
Was going to post something like this. Them asking for Vlad just has to mean they like Sierra and Alcantara more than Toronto’s non-Vlad prospects. They clearly like those two pieces, and Alcantara especially, more than the industry. They had tunnel vision for pitching, apparently (not sure why) - is it really a stretch to say they weren’t enamoured with Pearson, Zeuch, and SRF? Asking for Vlad AND Bichette, in the same deal, is where things get silly, if indeed they did that.
-
It’s weird to me that the AAV for non-elite relievers is up to $7-9M.
-
I’m sure a lot of teams are wondering what Miami sees in Alcantara and Sierra.
-
That looks about like what I’d expect a Yelich trade to look like, along with maybe eating a chunk of Chen’s deal. IMO it’s fair for both clubs. Nailed it!
-
So I guess Ozuna would have cost us Vlad.
-
Jays were interested in Kinsler and are interested in Billy Hamilton and Adam Duvall.
-
JD is probably about as valuable as Ozuna, and I’d be livid with this return.
-
I don’t understand how this happens, even if they wanted a quick deal. His salary isn’t prohibitive, so there should have been at least half a dozen teams in on him. The market should have developed on it’s own - there’s no way Sierra, Alcantara and trash was the top offer. I guess the easiest explanation is that the FO has no idea what it’s doing.
-
Yeah. I thought Miami would get $50M+ in value for him, and they got half that.
-
Joe Smith to Houston
-
Welp, those last two pieces suck. Overall return is very bad.
-
Great, thanks Todd!
-
Magneuris Sierra in the deal too. That makes things look a bit better.
-
Saw that. It would be the best thing that could possibly happen. Everything needs to be gutted, from the owner down through the front office.
-
Kyle Turris on is exit from Ottawa: "It's tough because I think management did want to sign me, but I think that the owner didn't. And that was his decision." I've suspected all along that no effort was even made to keep Turris. This team will remain a dumpster fire until Melnyk sells it.

The Marcus Stroman is a terrific douchebag thread
BTS replied to ValiantJaysFan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Someone link this to Stroman on twitter and point out that he actually has a tiny little heart. The meltdown will last for days. -
I was just assuming Reyes was going to be involved. Alcantara being the centerpiece is an egregious return. This reminds me of the Simmons trade.
-
They shouldn't need leverage to move someone like Ozuna for an appropriate return. 10+ teams should have been involved in this and bidding against each other. If the return ends up Alcantara and garbage, that's their FO not properly valuing assets.
-
Apparently Alcantara is the centerpiece. The Marlins have completely botched this trade.
-
Vlad should be the only guy in the system that people would be inclined to hold back in talks for Yelich. Yelich is a 4-5 win player signed for less than 60M over the next 5 years. I like Bichette, but the odds of him ever providing that kind of value are not high. I don't think anybody would regret moving him for Yelich.
-
The Jays didn't offer Vlad, and didn't get Ozuna. Which was the point I was making when I said he'd probably cost them Vlad. Ozuna should be worth something like $55M in value. The two teams were not a good match.
-
Yelich will make $58.3M over the next 5 years, his age-26 to 30 seasons. Fangraphs contract tool has him worth something like $190M over the 5 years. I don't think he'd get that, but he'd definitely get $150M over 5 years. I think you can conservatively say he's worth at least $100M in trade value. Miami would be completely justified in demanding that Toronto take on Chen's remaining $52M, and send Bo Bichette +.
-
Yup. Pham/Fowler/Ozuna in the OF, Carpenter at 1B. And still Martinez/Piscotty/Grichuk/Bader with nowhere to play. At least one of these guys will be going to Miami though.
