Rafael Soriano and Casey Janssen are available for those teams who have space and who are looking to make a profit once the season rolls around. Also, will take offers on Brad Boxberger.
-
Does mac ever post on this board? He never made the transition haha.
-
Casey Janssen and/or Rafael Soriano are available. Also, I'll look/counter at your bball offer later this evening. Swamped the past two days.
-
Yeah using the net on console isn't the greatest. When you have to open attached documents etc, it doesn't load.
-
Sorry should I have been more specific - most years given to a FA.
-
Zajac is a nice centre to have - he can be a 50-60 pt player as he's shown in the past and he'll put up nice all-around numbers. I was a huge fan back in 2009 and 2010 - those were some really good years.
-
Largest free agent signing by AA.
-
Confirmed
-
After the way Kemp has hit in the second half and how he is turning out to be their saviour offensively, no way the Dodgers trade him now especially for that deal you proposed.
-
If there is a team who could take on MB's contract, its the Dodgers. Though I wouldn't just give MB away as a salary dump, so if including him means getting someone like Van Slyke plus saving that money owed on him, it gives the Jays some cash to go after free agents or make other trades.
-
Yeah I figured when I read it on FanGraphs - I said to myself I thought he was making more. Who would you take next season and moving forward - Crawford or Reyes?
-
panthers!!!!!
-
Doubt the Dodgers move any of those pieces for Navarro. I'm sure they'd swap Crawford for Reyes however straight up.
-
I'd rather get Turner and Van Slyke over Gordon - you're getting tremendous value. They likely view Gordon as a young, cheap, controllable middle infielder with blazing speed, which in their eyes is probably more valuable than a guy who had a career year like Turner and a OF bat who crushes LHP.
-
Don't think so either, though he should still be a nice piece and would be a huge upgrade in comparison to what the Jays were rolling out there at second base this season, and doesn't cost much in terms of salary. I'm fine with Guerrero or Turner to be honest; Guerrero has more upside and is younger - whats his defense like though? Turner is probably a safer bet. I think Van Slyke is a must as well - perfect platoon partner with Lind and can play all three outfield positions and first base which is valuable. I don't mind Crawford - I think he'd be a solid replacement for Melky in left and if I recall Crawford always loved hitting at the Rogers Centre. The Jays would have to go out and sign Drew or Cabrera to play SS (Drew preferably). They solve their questions in LF, 2B, DH all with this deal, and replace Reyes at a reasonable cost.
-
If I'm the Dodgers, I'd probably ask for one of the Jays young starters if I moved Gordon. I don't think it makes sense for them to move him in a deal for Reyes - its more of a lateral move and the Dodgers get older and more expensive with Reyes.
-
If the Jays could get Turner and Van Slyke in a deal along with Crawford for Reyes and another piece, that would be sweet. Then go out and sign Stephen Drew or Asdrubal Cabrera to play shortstop. LF Carl Crawford RF Jose Bautista 1B Edwin Encarnacion DH Lind/Van Slyke 3B Brett Lawrie SS Stephen Drew 2B Justin Turner C Dioner Navarro CF Anthony Gose BN Danny Valencia BN Josh Thole BN Maicer Izturis BN Scott Van Slyke That's pretty solid. Obviously I'd try and add a better bench piece or two, and I'd try to upgrade on Navarro/Thole (though not sure it happens). Overall, LF is solved, the Jays add a platoon bat with Lind with huge pop and who could play all three outfield positions, they make a significant upgrade at 2B and replace Reyes and don't lose much value with Drew at SS.
-
f***, Crawford posted a 7.4 WAR in 2010!
-
Thing is Crawford is making $20 M and Reyes $17 M until the end of 2017. Reyes > Crawford. I'd still rather have Reyes over Crawford right now considering salary, age and position played. It really depends on the other part of the deal and what the Jays would get back. I don't see the Dodgers trading Dee Gordon in a deal for Reyes. Crawford is still valuable - posted a 2.5 WAR this season in limited playing time and last season posted a 2.9 WAR. He's easily a 3 WAR player, similar to what Reyes could produce.
-
They wouldn't trade Dee Gordon in this deal after the season he had. I could definitely see a Crawford/Reyes swap intrigue them, and possibly the Jays get someone like Van Slyke or Turner as well for another piece, making it a 2 for 2.

I know there's a card show in November at the International Centre and if they had cards of Harper, Strasburg in Expos uniforms I'd definitely pick up some haha.
