    Are any of those guys relevant with the A's right now?

    Like Abom said a couple of pages ago, maybe most of these teams viewed Stroman as a mid-rotation guy rather than an ace or a No.2 type starter. Remember Stroman was awful last year. Regardless, the Jays still had three days so there was no rush on their part. Wait until closer to the deadline and maybe one of those teams become desperate. I still think the Jays could have done better.

    It ended up being pretty bad, but that's hindsight. Otherwise at the time, I didn't have a problem with it. Who would have thought Josh Johnson was going to completely break down right after? He was coming off a 3.3 WAR season and was only 28 at the time. Mark Buehrle gave the Jays three solid years: 2.2, 3.7 and 2 WAR from 2013-2015. Jose Reyes was 29 and coming off a 3.8 WAR season. He wasn't the greatest with the Jays. Injuries and defensive inefficiencies really hindered his success, though still 2.5 and a 3.8 WAR season in 2013 and 2014. Reyes was completely useless in 2015. Do the Jays really regret giving up anyone in that deal? The only players that went on to have somewhat decent careers were Jake Marisnick and Anthony DeSclafani, and they were with different clubs after. The only thing about the Marlins trade that makes it bad is that it created a domino leading the Jays to go all in and that made AA trade Syndergaard for RA Dickey.

    Well Robinson Cano was scooped up quickly. Same with Kyle Ryan.
  7. jaysblue
    Cano was dropped in a lot of leagues this week lol. Watch someone use their waiver to pick him up.

    Isn't Daniel Murphy their first baseman? Alonso in Coors might be able to put up some decent power numbers. But he essentially replaces Mark Reynolds as a power bat off the bench. Jays likely wouldn't get a lot for Smoak from Colorado. They won't give up anything of value. Don't think you're getting a Jon Gray or anyone like that.

    Daniel Hudson has been a solid pickup for the Jays. He's done a great job out of the bullpen, which has turned him into a trade chip this July. Sogard is having an unbelievable season. The Jays could actually turn him into a young asset.

    East coast cities like New York, Philly, Washington DC are dreadful in the summer. So humid! I remember when going to Philly in 2010 to see the Jays play, I couldn't survive through the Sunday afternoon game at 1PM. It was unbearable.

    Yankees ticket prices through the box office are extremely expensive. Always best to just purchase on StubHub or Vivid Seats. Also, most tickets behind home plate or the dugout are probably corporate owned I imagine. As well, I'm sure a lot of New Yorkers in the summer months are away at the Hamptons or on vacation. Being in NYC during the summer is dreadful. Would not want to sit outside during an afternoon game anywhere on the East coast lol. Yankee Stadium is still a bit of a commute from downtown. Not much around the stadium as well, since its in the Bronx. It's not like Fenway or Wrigley that is surrounded by a bunch of bars/restaurants etc. As well, I don't consider Yankee Stadium one of the nicest ballparks in baseball. It's still decent, but nothing special IMO. Citi Field is a lot better. Another reason could be because Yankees fans are pretty much spread throughout the US and Canada. Not all live in NYC. Thats why when the Yankees visit another ballpark, they're swarmed with Yankees fans.

    The commissioner here doesn't rule with an iron fist, like in the DDL.
  13. jaysblue
    Matthew Allan
  14. jaysblue
    I'm sure an NL team would give him a look. Mistake for him signing with an AL team. Pirates would be a perfect fit IMO.
  15. jaysblue
    What a hypocrite.
  16. jaysblue
    I'll take Bayron Lora
  17. jaysblue
    This is why Fantrax is so much better.
  18. jaysblue
    Will take a True Cardinal in C Ivan Herrera
  19. jaysblue
    Could we do the hockey draft after all the baseball drafts are over?
  20. jaysblue
    Sorry I've been at work. I'll take Tahnaj Thomas.
  21. jaysblue
    I was up in BORED, so I think he meant to say it was for that league lol.
  22. jaysblue
    Brayan Rocchio
  23. jaysblue
    Am I up? Spanky sent me a message around midnight, just saw my email. But on here, it says Twist and Trout and BTS are up next.
  24. jaysblue
    I'll take Quinn Priester. Pirates have a good system at developing arms.
  25. jaysblue
    I'll take Jordan Balazovic because he's Canadian.
