HAHAHAHAAH.
I put 100 bones down on the Habs. Not that i know ANYTHING about hockey. I just hate the Leafs. God...this is so sweet.
100 down on 1.91 odds. 91 bucks. I'll take it!
I would be fine with taking a flier on Rios if he was willing to come here on a one year very reasonable contract. ( Which won't happen)
He's been a replacement level scrub before (2009 and 2011) and followed those seasons up with 3+ fWAR seasons. So it would be worth it on a one year deal. He didn't exactly seem to enjoy it here so i doubt he's signing a pillow contract to come back to Canada so it's a moot point.
Justin Turner put up a 3.2 fWAR in 322 PA. (i know, not sustainable..but still). Van Slyke put up a 2.8 fWAR in 246 PA.
Justin Turner + Van Slyke together way more valuable then Dee Gordan.
I would prefer Reyes to Crawford as well. Which is why i would need a second basement to do the deal. The Dodgers have Gordan, Turner and Guerreo. They have depth to move both an OF and 2nd basemen to get a SS.
Yeah. The assumption would be that Hanley Ramirez leaves via free agency and the Dodgers need a shortstop in said scenario.
They could plug Justin Turner or Alex Guerreo in at 2nd. They also have a number of options they could go with in LF. Money is equal and they get their SS.
Who says no to this trade?
Bluejays send: Jose Reyes + Sean Nolin
Dodgers send: Carl Crawford + Dee Gordon
I have a feeling most people are going to say the Dodgers which is fair enough. But the Dodgers do have a glut of expensive OF's and a number of different options at second base and could have a huge hole at SS. So maybe their willing to sacrifice some value from positions of depth to get a shortstop? Wishful thinking?
The money is pretty equal too.
Another trade i would like is Navarro for Justin Turner or Scott Van Slyke. I think the Dodgers match up nice for a number of trades.
