This signing makes more sense than trading Lind for Estrada last year. Granted that's not saying much... but they got stupid lucky with that deal so maybe lightning strikes twice
-
Their 10 and 5 no-trade clauses are a significant impediment to that, unless the Jays are out of the race before the trade deadline and they agree to be moved.

Adam Lind traded to Brewers for RHP Marco Estrada

All this thread reminds me of is being on a tropical island year, which is where I was when this trade broke. And just like I said in my post, I was drowning myself in rum on the beach. I'm not doing that right now, so this thread still sucks -
The way i see it, he's not Kershaw, so he shouldn't be paid like him. I'd go 7/175 with the opt out after 3 years that was suggested earlier.
-
Look at the Cano situation right now. All anyone is talking about now is how Cano wants to get out of seattle and regrets not taking less money to stay with NY. Granted none of that is coming from Cano himself but rather "a source that is very close to Cano"... but you really do have to wonder sometimes how much union pressure there is on the players to always go for the maximum dollars vs takin less and being where u want to be. It's not like taking 20 million per year is all that differnet than 25 million in the grand scheme of things if taking the 20 million means playing in a city that you want to be in. That being said, you can't let the owners use that willingness to take less to bend u over and toss it in dry.

Park factors are also important. It's no real coincidence that the stadiums with the lowest run environment are the ones with the biggest dimensions and at sea level
-
I honestly don't think this moves the needle one way or the other very much at all. We need a front of rotation arm, but we also needed a depth arm. They just got the depth arm first which really is to be expected since the depth arms are easiest to get. Does it kinda suck that they had to give up a controllable reliever that could very easily have been a back end type piece next year and the next 3 after that? I guess, but they are relievers growing on trees every year in FA and your own farm from other failed starters that can probably fill that hole, so it's not really something to lose sleep over.

I had it in the bag. Cousins Drummond and Porzingis up font with George back to his top form, Porter Jr starting to show his awesomeness... it was mine for the taking
-
Jesus christ... only 3 first place votes for Kershaw when he puts up over 300 Ks
-
Hard to believe that he's somehow being underrated. Thing is, with the Royals having just won the world series and the copycat nature of mlb now suddenly paying attention to defense and not striking out .. Heyward is going to get paid, but still probably not near the level he should be.
-
Nothing wrong with this signing. Even accounting for some regression it's short enough term with low enough dollars theres minimal risk involved Thumbs up
-
Seeing someone as a major league player is one thing, but Pillar is a solid 8 out of 9 on the depth chart of hitters in that lineup. And he goes to 9 with Travis playing second instead of Goins. It's not really debateable.
-
Oh I get it,the speech was great. Just feel it would have meant alot more of it was made my someone who had made even the slightest contribution to the win.
-
25 points, 29 boards and back to back 20/20 games for the first time since 1985. BEAST But the lost that game ....lol. bench only had 2 points total.
-
Why is Jonny Gomes even allowed to talk? He was ditched from the the post season roster in favour of guys like Mondesi, Gore...and had a grand total of 34 plate appearances for KC during the season. I don't really care, I just find it funny that a guy who had nearly nothing to do with the team this year is talking like he's some sort if alpha.
-
And Cory Joseph is such a massive upgrade over Vasquez running the second unit it's redonkulous
-
The more I watch the raps, the more I am coming to believe they will never win anything when DeRozan is their offensive focus.
-
No I know why you really shut down the nba dynasty league. Yall were shaking in your boots over my Cousins / Drummond combo
-
I'm holding out for the GM job. I understand there will be minimal responsibility and very little decision making.

http://www.breakingblue.ca/2015/10/29/breaking-blue-2015-al-mvp/ AL MVP picks are up. What a bunch of homers we are! -
It's still going on. Most recent comment was he would have had no hesitation in keeping Gibbons on as manager. No comment on whether he thinks gibby's job is in jeopardy now.
-
Next question was "if Paul Beeston was still the president of the blue Jays in 2016, would Alex still be the vp of baseballops/gm?" Complete dodge of that question too
-
And another plus with Bastardo, Angrioter can get him to give us a discount. Just throw in a couple donkeys for transportation and it's a done deal.
-
Yet kawasaki is somehow on the roster every year.
-
It's not so much a talent comparison it's moreso a comparison of keeping an aging core ot talent together with large money deals that tum into awful situations in the blink if an eye that can completely kill a team for years. I'm not saying they have to immediately trade Jose or Edwin, just that they need to be willing to them go because theres no way they can sign them both to extensions at market rate deals and then have 4 players eating 80+ milion of payroll space in 2017 and beyond when this team has historically not been one thats going to be pushing up against the luxury tax.
