According to multiple the sources the deal is all but finalized. The exact return is unknown but Starlin Castro is the currently rumoured centerpiece going back to Florida along with several prospects. Tehre are still physicals to be taken so nothing is official yet and neither team has confirmed the deal but baseball insiders are saying the deal is agreed upon. Felt this was thread worthy over being stuck on the back end of the Around Baseball discussion.

Rogers looking into selling blue jays.....
John_Havok replied to Sammy225's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He owns 4 % of the team, it's not like he's a real decision maker over there. He's just the pretty recognizable face with a baseball name they can use to market the team. -
Sure, in hindsight it always seems like a waste of time when your team gets informed they didn't make the cut. But you still make the pitch 100 times out of 100 because of the potential return. So, if you make the pitch 100 times out of 100, it is not pointless nor a waste of time/resources by definition. The only waste would be if a team made no effort whatsoever

I very much doubt that any competent GM was putting all his eggs in the Ohtani basket without looking at all possibilities. Yes,it's possible this whole scenario has held up signings of players because teams wanted to know how it would all shake out, but big names generally don't sign this early in the offseason anyways and theres almost always 1 guy in every offseason that has this effect, whether it's a huge name FA or international target And if you think this was a slow November wait till next offseason when some guy named Harper is available along with Machado.

So who is all left... Rangers, Cubs, Dodgers, Padres, Mariners, Giants....who else?
-
3 threads within a few minutes of each other. How can u tell it's been a slow offseason
-
For Stanton there's no such thing as a pitchers park
-
But are you shocked AND appalled?
-
Sucks about the inappropriate comments thing I suppose, but if that's the grenade that needed to be jumped on to get that idiot off the air.... I guess it's not all bad.
-
He's got the IQ of a squirrel, so it's not really all that shocking.
-
Or he is, and is just outright lying to make he and his peers seem more heroic than they are. The whole thing is a joke. The Hall of Fame is meant to represent the history of baseball with the game's best players as its main exhibit. You can't just erase 20 years of that history because you don't like what it looks like, especially given that every generation prior to that, including his, and probably he himself.. also cheated, just differently and with next to 0 media coverage to blow it incredibly out of proportion in an age of outrage and social media. The part I hate the most is that they're totally okay with bud Selig being inducted, when he was guilty of actually stealing money from players.

The height of hypocrisy. It's pretty astounding

I shot like dog s*** at my pool league last night, but immediately felt better when I saw how s***** the Raps 3rd quarter was.

But he's a Japanese robot. I hear those ones are pretty advanced

Another single for Acuna(dinky hit over 2b), scored both Gurriel and Davis
-
Davis just got drilled in the left shoulder area by a pitch while squaring to bunt. Stayed in the game though. Gurriel walked in front of him so the jays hitters are doing their job and getting on base.
-
Davis stole 2b and scored on an Acuna single, tie game at 2
-
Dang, Gurriel almost got that one out opportunity taco style
-
Wow Naylor is a big boy already...
-
TJ Zeuch scheduled to start the AFL championship game tomorrow. Gurriel and jonathan Davis also in the starting lineup.
-
Double your meds.
-
And yet Vlad was better... Anyways, I wonder if AA has learned not to blow his prospect load on 36 year old pitchers. Braves could be a very good team in short order given their youth
-
Might work in the regular season, but come playoff time you need those top end guys
-
What dimension is that though? Not being sarcastic, I just dont see it. He isn't good defensively, he's okay at rebounding for a big... not great offensively or a good shot blocker for his size, really his best attribute is his free throw shooting. Part of me also hates him for constantly bellowing whenever he gets brushed by anyone going to the rim.
-
I'm not sure about above average starter for Delon, but he's already a very capable backup who can defend really well. Maybe if he takes that next step mentally and starts to look for his offence rather than deferring to others all the time he will step into starting territory. But your overall point is well made, the last few years of drafting and development have been top notch for a team that hasn't been picking anywhere near the top half of the draft. Getting their own g league team was essential for that.they wasted 2 years of Bruno's development having him rostered on another team that had no interest in developing him
