  1. Yup. Too many shoulder problems has basically killed him
  2. You can bet it wasn't much. The market for rentals just isn't what it used to be. I think people's frustrations with the return on this trade stems from 2 things.... 1. The fact that Happ was the Jays best trade chip, which speaks volumes about how the season is going. 2. Unrealistic expectations. Advanced metrics have pretty much kiboshed the rental return market recently. Even the return the Orioles got for Machado would be considered garbage not too long ago.
  3. That's not entirely true. A guy hitting 9th with GG defense in CF can play on a contender. Though as I consider what you posted, i think you mean going forward that he won't be GG calibre D in CF. That's reasonable
  4. The word "potential" should have preceded years of control. But it makes sense.
  5. Even if Drury and McKinney end up being backups that provide .5 WAR each for 2 seasons and then fade away.... that's better than having Happ for 2.5 months in a non playoff year.
  6. 9 years of control over position players that aren't trash is a pretty decent return on a pending UFA that isn't helping your team get to the playoffs. Neither are likely to be stars, but if you squint you can see a few WAR combined over the next few seasons.
  7. 10:18PM: “The industry belief” is that the Yankees and Brewers are the front-runners for Happ, Sherman writes. The Cubs still “might be in play,” though Chicago also asked the Jays about Marcus Stroman. In another tweet, Sherman mentions that the Blue Jays like Yankees infielder Brandon Drury. 9:33PM: The Yankees still look like the favorite for Happ right now, with Feinsand calling them “the leader” of the teams in pursuit, and SNYTV’s Andy Martino saying the Bombers are “in strong position.” A trade may not be imminent, as Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that a deal is “unlikely” to take place tonight. (All links to Twitter.) Both Feinsand and Martino list the Cubs and Brewers still being involved, with Martino adding the Rockies as a new team to the Happ rumor mill. Feinsand feels the number of teams in on Happ will result in a nice trade return for the Blue Jays.
  8. Time for Morales to pitch. f*** this
  9. Wtf is this. 3 straight ******** hits lol
  10. No chance on either one.
  11. The Jays need to stop picking up pitchers with 2 seamers. Just f***ing ditch that pitch. .. please! Pitching to contact is just stupid
  12. I don't think theyre heated about the HBP, but the close pitches that kept being called balls, which they were
  13. I think if there were any other Jays pieces involved, we'd have heard by now.
  14. f*** Maile, settle down
  15. Need grichuk to steal here I think
  16. They had 5 infielder's, I doubt they would let 2nd go uncontested when they had multiple guys close to 2nd. It's possible I suppose but that's a reach
  17. Why would you use a pinch runner for a guy whose run doesn't matter?
  18. I dunno man. Freezing on a line drive is little league stuff. Especially with 5 IF out there. Anything on the ground, you know your dead anyway and your run doesn't mean anything with a the guy at 3rd. It's a huge mistake
  19. Really? Wtf is law smoking
  20. Spanberger has massive power. But old for the league... no defensive profile at all, would have to mash bigtime to make it
  21. Gonna guess someone in the neighborhood of Peter Lambert.
  22. Not sure you can compare when you don't include how many hits Borucki gave up. For me, the outcomes you want from your pitcher are missing bats, not walking hitters, and giving up weak contact, preferrably on the ground - in that order.
  23. Didn't forget him, just that he slides down the pecking order. Even with 5 innings from any pitcher, Green wouldn't even be needed in the playoffs. That's insane to think about
