Every game is so critical now its not even funny. You can't blow games like the one in Seattle on Sunday and can't lose a game like the one against the Phillies on Tuesday.

Drew is having one of the weirdest seasons ever. Doesn't he like have 13 HR's? Likely can reach 20 though his other overall numbers are awful lol.

It will be fun watching #Tim&Sid tonight.

As a fan, I'm surely excited. Though from a baseball perspective given the Jays sitting at .500 at the time of this trade, its a gamble. If the Jays were 55-45 or 59-40, sitting atop of the AL East, I definitely go all in. I think you have to when you're talking about a pitcher like David Price.

As much as I love Price, purchasing a Tulo jersey is a much better investment

Haha I'll wait until its confirmed before I buy a pair of tickets. I'll be seeing the Jays play the Yankees in NYC this September. After these two trades, that series definitely will be a lot more interesting hopefully I get to see a Price start!

Yankees acquired Dustin Ackely...

Are you selling them all for double the price?

You just want to punch Arash Madani in the face.

Yeah I'd like to add another outfielder (Ben Revere would be an ideal fit) and a possible swingman who could start in case if someone in the rotation goes down since the Jays don't have anyone really in AAA right now lol. If you gotta go get Mike Leake, and then move Estrada to the pen, do it!

Its official Just announced on Baseball Central by Jeff Blair!

Norris and Reyes jerseys will be 50% off this weekend at the Jays store!

Lets wait until Ken Rosenthal says its done.

Would have preferred giving this type of package last trade deadline for 1.5 years of Price vs. 2 months. Why didn't the Jays then trade for Price when they were 60-51 at the deadline and were only a game back? Imagine having Price for this entire beginning portion of the season, where would this team be now?

Kevin Barker is a huge redneck, holy s***!

Yeah if you're giving up that type of package, I'd hope Cespedes is involved.

Well if Rogers is willing to dish out the cash, then yes. Though with the Jays 5 year policy, I don't see it happening unless the contract has a huge AAV.

If this was during the 2012 season, I'd say that would have been a good excuse for AA to use.

Ew for a two month rental. Unless they have a window to sign Price to an extension, though doubt that.

If David Price goes all 2008 CC Sabathia in August and September leading the Jays into the postseason...

I think from what we know about AA when making trades, he likes to acquire players/pitchers with control. I still think they would take Kennedy, Leake, Iwakuma or Shark at the right price, though I'm sure he's probably a lot more focused on acquiring guys like Ross, Shields, Fiers etc right. I'd f***ing splurge for Felix Hernandez right now or in the offseason. Seattle has been a disappointment over the last several years and if they make changes in their front office, I'm sure we'll see changes to the roster. King Felix is owed a whole lot of money, though he's under control through 2019 with a weird club option for 2020 for only 1M if he spends time more than 130 days on the DL "with right elbow surgery or other procedure to repair right elbow injury." 2016: 25.8 M 2017: 26.8 M 2018: 26.8 M 2019: 27.8 M Signing a FA pitcher like Hernandez or lets say Price this upcoming offseason likely would demand a Scherzer type contract, which we all admit is crazy and foolish. Felix locked at 4 years at that high AAV isn't all that bad, since you'd still own him before any significant decline. The Jays will have money coming off the books in 2016 with MB and if they don't exercise the RA Dickey option (likely will pick it up now with the way he has been pitching). Also, why not work a deal around EE + prospects for King Felix? EE likely won't be around past 2016 in Toronto and the Jays already have the best lineup in baseball. The Mariners might be interested in that since EE gives them another power bat and improves their lineup greatly for 2016, plus they will get a compensation pick if he leaves as a FA. Something like the Tulo deal perhaps, where the Mariners get some other top prospects in the deal as well. Plus, Seattle rids themselves of King Felix's contract and open up a huge amount of payroll for future FA signings etc. And it won't be difficult signing pitchers to pitch half their games at Safeco. A 2016 rotation: Felix Stroman Hutchison Dickey FA signing or Norris (if they don't trade him)

I don't know. What do the projections say?
