One of those trades that everyone loses. Why the f*** are the Mets trading for Stroman? Why did the Jays trade him for a s***** return? Atkins appears to be a s***** GM.
I think the leverage is, if a team tries to use that, say "we have the best pitcher on the market, so f*** you and we'll just deal with one of the other 10 interested teams."
I don't know how you guys are coming to the conclusions you're arriving at but it's pretty bizarre.
And that's why we don't use Reddit, boys. There's not even a question of common sense. Why would Tulo voluntarily give up 40 million if all he had to do was sit his ass on a bench?
The fact that people here think he would have retired regardless whether or not he was giving up tens of millions of dollars is absolutely ludicrous.
So your logic
They will deal him for an unfair price because the league will conspire against the Jays. Is this your contention? Because if it is, it's f***ing retarded.
You are placing far more importance on this than is warranted.
I don't know if I can overstate how little what Stroman says publicly matters in regards to his trade value. You guys are seriously chicken littling and it's annoying. Cut this s*** out.
