I know how I feel about this deal, but what I want to know is how Marcus Stroman feels about this deal. What are Granderson's favourite video games and types of music?

Alright, bring back AA. The fact that the Jays are one of 27 teams that were unable to capitalize on the Pirates just goes to show you that this FO is way too methodical and does not hustle nearly as much.

Cheap Jew math...spend a few bucks upfront for netting, save thousands in foul balls over the course of the season and every season thereafter. Probably increase concession sales of souvenir balls as well. Damn Shapiro.

That's a silly question. A gambling newb here trying to be a smartass. You have to frame the question right, gambling newb. Would I take the Raptors in an even money bet....no, what a stupid idea that would be. Would I take them at +150 or higher, which would be the going rate with the home court advantage if the season ended today. Yes, I would.

I really hope he goes to the Lakers so the Cavs can continue their legacy as an 11 win team. What a shithole city. Cleveland has had far too much winning (in sports, not in life) recently. It needs more Browns.

So if the Cavs keep downplaying during the regular season, they'll downplay themselves right out of a Finals spot. Three blow out losses against good teams and a close game against a basement dweller on their four game road trip. Barely positive point differential now. I don't know basketball that well but that looks like a team that wasn't what it was the last couple of years. If I bothered with bets that took 5 months to complete, some money on the Raptors or Celtics to be the conference winner looks pretty good right about now.

Double penetration DP

I know he would be a value signing, but let's leave that portion of the franchise's history in the past. As a fan I would rather give Borucki an honest shot and if he gets shelled at the MLB level he gets shelled.

Laughing at the Royals is completely counterproductive unless you're a fan of a team that plays them 19 times a year. Having a 100+ loss team for the next seven years in another division is not the least bit helpful to the Jays' playoff hopes. Add in Detroit and you guys are all going to have fun screaming about 87-win Twins teams with a $60 million dollar budget and a negative run differential that get a wild card spot every year.

BP - keep him there as much as possible. But it's nice to know that there is a warm body better than Laffey if the Jays can't sign or trade for some back-end starters. Stretch him out in the majors if need be. There is way too many words being typed out in a debate for f***ing Joe Biagini.

Ugh. If this guy is going to become an MLB talent, it will be on San Diego's PD team to do so. And good on them if they succeed. Trading an okay prospect from Lansing is not a high cost trade no matter how it is spun.

I went to fangraphs for the sole purpose of finding where Yangervis Solarte ranks and not surprised to see he is #1 lol. Slow off season.

if Edward Olivares is considered the first major piece along with the second minor piece we are doing quite alright here. I think we all would have been a lot happier if Atkins was the one negotiating the Dickey trade.

Ok, I am back on the Stroman bandwagon.

Thanks for the useful contribution. Good to see that your 2018 is off to a shining start like your 2017, 2016 etc.

Another thing I wish I didn't know about Stroman, but makes me even more irritated with him once I found out. Height doesn't measure heart...???? Who is going to buy this s***? How many Theron Fleurys and Muggsy Bogues are there left out there that this will appeal to? Is this for short guys to help them with their online dating profiles when they are caught lying about their height? The only smart thing is he probably saves on material costs since the only sizes he can offer are S, XS and XXS. I can already see how this went down. His friends, family, agent, whoever else is close to him said that this was a stupid idea. Doubly stupid in light of losing the Nike contract, leaving guaranteed money on the table. Stroman's response? "I'll show them" or something where he can portray himself once again as a fighting underdog who is going to overcome all obstacles. Stroman is neither a businessman nor an experienced fashion designer. He throws baseballs really fast and with good movement. Pretty easy to overcome being 5'9 when you can throw baseballs better than 99.9999993% of the population out there and that is a well-paid skill in this society. This guy is destined to be penniless and walking the streets of Toronto two years after he retires. What a f***ing moron.

People inflating their thanks count scoring easy points off of Jim's stupidity ITT right now. JD for Morrow, Atkins make it happen now pls.

I see two parallel topics here that have one easy solution if applied to each other. Hire 50 women to throw false accusations at Yelich (numbers trump proof, they ALL can't be lying, right?) and reduce his trade value to zero. Offer a bag of balls to Miami and once he's on the team the accusations get proven false.

Google image search. Meh 5/10 would not bang. EDIT: Ok, would bang, but only if it was really convenient.

His vote total has increased steadily from 2015 of 39% since he made those accurate and righteous comments about Muslims and trannies. This should be a model for all borderline HOFers to try to get into the Hall.

I can draw some parallels to Beane-Donaldson-AA opportunity. Rather than biding your time, Miami's dumbass FO (possibly forced by the new owners) is slapping a price tag on their merchandise in a garage sale and the first one that walks buy and offers something remotely reasonable gets a deal. This timing is absolutely asinine.....doing this mid-December.

Instead of you two sitting like ladies and bitch-slapping each other about this, you could be focused on how the Jays could benefit if Atkins is one of the first vultures on the scene to pick away at this dead, beached marlin.

Hmmm...a 4ish WAR player under a reasonable contract for several years who plays a position in desperate need for this team versus a prospect who maybe one day becomes a 4ish WAR player in 2020 if we are lucky. This is a no-brainer, if the FO can pull this off or is even looking at this right now. Stop prospect hoarding.

Sounds to me relief stock is going up faster than cryptocurrency. The correct move was HOLD on Osuna (and Tepera, Barnes, Leone) and see what you can get now before the bubble bursts. Or maybe we shouldn't trust the brain fart of one organization just yet. So basically the Rockies laid down a Stanton contract for Tepera, Barnes and Leone lol.

I personally prefer an exec that publicly shits all over his team's players. Bring back JPR pls. I wanna hear much, much more about how Tulo should have been drafted over Romero.
