Because Jackie Bradley Jr sucks!
-
Thought you had Cole and Severino (if he comes back which looks likely) as #1 and #2.
-
A lineup of Soto, Goldy and Arenado! Yikes!
-
Are the Orioles selling or buying? I know they moved Mancini to the Astros, though wonder if that means guys like Lopez, Lyles, Tate are available.
-
How about Nestor Cortes? Yes it doesn't raise the bar much in terms of the Yankees most recent acquisitions agreed, though makes their roster a lot deeper in case injuries happen and also keeps an arm like Montas away from the Blue Jays or another contender.
-
LMAO this thread. Trade deadline is tomorrow, so everyone relax. You know the Yankees were going to acquire talent at the trade deadline. Stop acting surprised and shocked. Also, because of Canada's strict COVID policy, who knows if someone like Scott Effross was even someone the Jays could target. There are still a lot of big names out there like Rodon, Cobb, Kelly as starters, and some solid BP arms available as well. Atkins has been active at the trade deadlines the past two seasons, so I'm not worried about the Blue Jays standing pat.
-
His last 14 games, he's issued 10 BB in 13.2 innings. He's hit a rough stretch.
-
Joc Pederson!
-
The implosion for Clay Holmes is coming at the right time for the Yankees with a huge division lead rather than in the Postseason haha. They'll give him time to right the ship. Even still with his numbers recently, he's been rock solid (1.77 ERA, 2.59xFIP and a 1.1 WAR).
-
Could listen in on Marte.
-
I dropped Pineda in another dynasty league I'm in since I had no IL slots left. I looked at his numbers and geez they were awful. 4.25K/9 this season I believe. I think he's done.
-
Joc Pederson would be a nice LH bat to add and can play CF. Giants lost Estrada yesterday, so I think they have to be in sell mode with the latest spiral they're in. I like your idea of adding a lefty starter for depth purposes and using them for the BP after. Smyly can be a guy for sure if the Jays went that route. Even Alex Wood from San Fran would be a better target IMO.
-
It's a shame. Coors Field is an awesome ballpark and one of my favourites!
-
Yeah his contract is very favorable. Another 9M for 2023 and a 10M team option in 2024. I guess durability and age are the only concerns and he doesn't have the upside like Rodon has, but the contract is amazing. It's too bad the Blue Jays couldn't sign him last offseason instead of Kikuchi haha.
-
They really have been stuck in a rut after the All Star break and look lost as a team right now. They've lost 7 of their last 8 games, and they have been playing teams like the D'Backs and Cubs, which they should be capitalizing on. If they lose the series against the Cubs and fall further back, they have to be selling IMO. Joc Pederson, their best power bat, is on the IL as well right now. Rodon would be a perfect fit in the Blue Jays rotation. Alex Cobb might be also available as well and come cheaper. They also have some intriguing BP arms that wouldn't cost too much like Domenic Leone, John Brebbia, and Tyler Rogers.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2022)
jaysblue replied to Grant77's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This is why another OF isn't a bad idea for depth purposes, unless you want Tapia starting a lot! -
Tyler Mahle would have been a nice arm.
-
Andrew Chafin JT Realmuto
-
He was dealing tonight against the Yankees. Was watching the game.
-
I'll start the list. Nolan Arenado Paul Goldschmidt
-
Yeah though remember during that time period, the Jays FO and other teams knew only 4 teams made the Postseason, so it would definitely impacted the FOs strategy during the offseason and at the trade deadline. Pretty much even some Jays teams under JPs tenure, they would have been right there and I'm sure you would have had different outlooks/direction each offseason and at the trade deadline. For an example, in 2003, 2006 and 2008, maybe the Blue Jays are buyers at the trade deadline instead of just standing pat or selling. Would have impacted other teams as well in the mix for sure. Though those seasons I just mentioned, the Blue Jays definitely would have been in the mix for one of those extra Postseason spots.
-
How do we find out these new names? Serious question. The only way we know is which players didn't or don't play in Toronto when their team has a series up here.
-
Just keep it to the Trade Deadline thread. This is useless. Don't see how anyone will find out any info on players private health records right now unless they're left off the roster when their team visits Toronto. Otherwise, you and other posters have no way of knowing!
-
Sorry for reading your post the wrong way. Misunderstanding on my part. Would love to see the Jays target a Marlin's SP and O's closer as well haha. Yup, as a fan there are always highs and lows when following a team. You definitely appreciate the highs from experiencing and going through the lows. Same thing for me during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Seeing the Jays make the Postseason and experiencing it for the first time in person was definitely special and felt rewarding from a fans perspective after following the team and baseball since 1997 and never getting a taste of watching a Postseason game live in Toronto. That 2005/2006 offseason was a lot of fun. I remember the Blue Jays were in on a lot of guys like even Brian Giles and Milton Bradley haha.
