Toronto Blue Jays v. Tampa Bay Injured Rays; GM 1
Stangstag replied to Solaxys's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This aged well -
Beasley to the Pirates for cash is such garbage. I thought the Jays had all this money to make moves, yet they gave away a possible bullpen piece for nothing to offset cash coming in from Merrifield and Bass? Wtf? Am I missing something here?
-
Lol gottem
-
Jesus christ. Imagine stating that so confidently too.
-
The other question is… will Merrifield forfeit half of his salary rather than get vaxxed? Because if he doesn’t, he’ll have to either stay in US or Canada and only play when the team is on the road/home. That is potentially a lot of money for a guy that hasn’t made a huge amount of cash in his career.

Since when is a C grade a fail

Im guessing one of Lourdes/Teo gets dealt in the offseason. I understand not wanting to trade one of them mid-season and possibly ruin clubhouse mojo. Springer in RF next year with a Tapia/Merrifield platoon situation in CF. Horwitz could be in the mix for RF/LF too. Other than that the team is pretty much already set next year. I rate this deadline as just OK. Shored up the bullpen a bit, Bass is sneaky good and Pop could contribute over the next few years. White should be a decent 5th starter option along with Kikuchi maybe. Merrifield is better than the stats he’s put up this year IMO. I’m fine with not selling off our top 3-4 prospects for a slightly better shot in the postseason this year which is already a crapshoot anyways. Fangraphs has the Jays at 97% chance to make the playoffs and that’s good enough IMO. Orioles got weaker and we still have tons of games against them. That will decide our season I feel

Site crashing lol. I’m guessing this move means Springer to the DL and Merrifield sharing CF with Tapia

If they trade Syndergaard who is supposed to start the remaining 10ish games they’ll need to cover??
-
Its honestly the nice thing to do, gives them a day to get their living situation/packing worked out
-
That is very surprising tbh
-
I don’t think the Giants are selling but i’m on board with Soto + Syndergaard
-
Ooof
-
Alright now send Moreno + to the Cubs for Robertson + Happ + Contreras Flip Contreras + Pearson to the Dodgers for Gonsolin
-
Not a sexy move at all. Groshans kinda meh but still I would have rather made a bigger trade and sent more pieces to get better players back
-
Lol welcome back Bass
-
Who?
-
Just f***in do it, we have nothing coming up for the bullpen any time soon. If we end up with a bunch of above average guys in the pen its not even a problem. Should be cheap prospect-wise too
-
All porch shots
-
World series hero Eric Hosmer
-
Hosmer gets 10% of Soto's next deal.
-
Dude their bullpen was not good. They worked well enough in the playoffs but it was pretty much Daniel Hudson + scrubs and Corbin pitching out of the bullpen. The same Daniel Hudson that sucked s*** with the Jays that same year.
-
Will be interesting to see if his SLG spikes with his OBP potentially going down now... should see a lot more hittable pitches
-
Totally agree. 2019 Nats were kinda like that too. 3 great starters, a couple good hitters and a crap bullpen was enough to win it. Jays went "all in" in 2015 and don't have much to show for it.
