IF they actually want Moreland then it's heavily implied. Moreland is a one inch upgrade on Smoaky. It's literally his role - 1B defense and a guy who can kind of hit RHP with power. Can't roster both of them IMO. Unless Smoak has a dance partner in the trade market (I can't imagine who) then he's probably toast and will be sleeping with the fishes by the end of the winter meetings.
-
Smoak is a sunk cost so he should really not even be part of the conversation.

Don't confuse twitter rumours for front office attention! For all we know Luis Valbuena is in Toronto, snorting coke off Ross Atkins' dick right now.

MASSIVE news for recipients of the Jose Fernandez death compensation in this league and others - Otani to be posted after the 2017 season. What a development. The compensation package that was so speculative just grew in value by a lot. In the Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time the Great Deku dies in the intro and it's the most sad but then later in the game there is a scene where an awesome baby Great Deku tree has sprouted up in his roots. This is what this feels like to me right now.

Eagerly anticipating the results of the best fast food thread.
-
Bcuz he Chris Getz on base and Reeks Havok22 on the based paths!!!!!
-
Yeah safe to assume they ask about literally every available OF and 1B/DH. That's how you get a feel for the f***ing market!
-
Revere doesn't deserve money like that man.
-
You can justify Mitch Moreland if he's used in a platoon AND they spend some money on the outfield. That's two qualifications but you do need to judge the offseason/team in totality and not based on individual moves/players.
-
Now this would be budget.
-
The have the payroll space to make responsible additions at every position, the team is at like 88 projected wins so these marginal wins are highly leveraged in value, and the front office absolutely knows this. I'd bet my testicles that they add at least 1.5 outfielders.
-
They'll almost certainly add two outfielders, or at least one outfielder and another roster player who can play LF sometimes or platoon (ex. Steve Pearce). It would be pretty terrible if they didn't add two more OF options. There are two glaring holes.
-
lol
-
No but I walked by it a couple of days ago on Elm St. and was wondering what it was. Is it fast food like KFC?
-
Are you implying that they should bat Revere leadoff? Because the negative effect would be the same; max PA to a garbage hitter.
-
Projections think they all blow. 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 WAR in a full season worth of play. Revere does absolutely nothing for Toronto, other than offer depth. He's not an upgrade even on the current replacement level players.

General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
Laika replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I love the WBC. -
I don't think so
-
I hope so. What I really hope is that they trade a bat for a front end starter. I think Gattis' days in LF are done and there is a lineup configuration for them right now where they go. Bregman 3B Gurriel 1B Beltran DH McCann C Reddick RF Aoki/Marisnick/someone LF There's also AJ Reed to confuse things. Really they should probably trade for #2 SP if they can.
-
I am officially concerned about Evan Gattis' playing time can I have that Glenn Healey kid back plz
-
Their steak and cheese is like 9.50 lmao You could go to like Burger Priest or Chipotle or something for a 12 inch trip to Subway why does Subway even exist in 2016
-
People will actually walk into Subway and spend like $12 on a s***** sub combo. It's mind boggling.

Boone Logan was suggested in a past thread. If I have time I will probably turn that suggestion into a LH relief options (trade and free agency) survey.
-
Absolutely. We did just see the front office descendants of Shatkins trade Clint Frazier++ for Andrew Miller, after all.
