Encouraging Todd makes me hate you
-
Toronto seems like somewhere a guy like Cain would be hesitant to sign out of concern for his legs, valid or not.
-
I don't remember the specifics. Maybe it was 4-5 fWAR. It got fixed eventually, but for a few weeks Burch Smith was projected as CY caliber starter.
-
I'd trade JD straight up for Luke Weaver if an extension couldn't be worked out. I'm sure that wouldn't be on the table though.
-
Remember the year Burch Smith had a Steamer projection of like 30 starts, 45 games, 300 IP, and 7 fWAR?
-
Yeah, Reyes is the guy. I think him or Weaver would have to be in a deal for me to trade JD there. Something like Kelly, Flaherty, and O'Neill would be gross.
-
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.
