I don't speak Spanish but i assume this has something to do with Jack Z being an idiot to defend his trade proposal.

Because a whole country is voting for Jose?

Well Jack Z is an idiot. So the strategy of a low ball offer might make sense in this case.

If the M's would do something like Gose + Santos + low level high upside arm. Awesome. If the M's were selling low he would be gone by now. They will get a decent package for him.

Personally i would rather us just sign him to an extension. Worst case scenario it's 1 year of Rasmus + Comp pick. If AA believes we have a chance to contend this year. ( and listen to the interview this morning) he won't trade Rasmus because it makes the team worse in the short term.

If we trade a package around Rasmus for Franklin we're a worse team in 2014. It doesn't make sense.

Gose +? Sure, why not.

Fingers crossed... Mariners Could Deal Infielder Before Opening Day By Steve Adams [February 20 at 5:58pm CST] Following the Mariners' signing of Robinson Cano, many speculated that Nick Franklin or Brad Miller would be displaced by the move. Several teams reportedly had interest in Franklin at the time, but there hasn't been too much chatter surrounding him in the two months since. That could change, as ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin hears from industry sources that Seattle is likely to move Franklin or Miller prior to Opening Day, with Franklin being the more likely candidate. While Franklin played shortstop more frequently than second base throughout the minors, most evaluators seem to feel that Miller is better equipped, from a defensive standpoint, to handle shortstop in Seattle going forward. As such, Franklin, who will turn 23 on March 2, finds himself without a clear role on the team (Kyle Seager is in at third base, not that Franklin has experience at the hot corner anyhow). Franklin got off to a hot start upon being called up from Triple-A Tacoma last season, slashing .270/.337/.453 with six homers in 43 games (175 plate appearances) in the season's first half. However, following the All-Star break, Franklin slumped to a .194/.280/.333 batting line in 243 PAs. The result was a sub-par .225/.303/.382 triple-slash line. Still, Franklin is entering just his age-23 season and is no stranger to appearing on Top 100 prospect lists, having multiple appearances on those produced by Baseball America, MLB.com, ESPN's Keith Law and Baseball Prospectus. As Rubin notes in his piece, some teams could still view Franklin as an option at shortstop, meaning any team with a middle infield deficiency could have interest. Rubin points out that Franklin would be an upgrade over Ruben Tejada for the Mets, though he stops short of concretely citing interest on the Mets' behalf. Of course, Rubin's report leaves open the possibility that the Mariners could deal Miller instead, who slashed .265/.318/.418 with eight homers and five steals as a 23-year-old rookie for Seattle in 2013. Both players would be controllable through the 2019 season, making them attractive long-term assets for teams with middle infield needs. The Mariners have been said to desire an additional power bat for their lineup as well as rotation help, and they may not wish to pay free-agent prices to land both. A trade of Miller or Franklin would certainly seem an alternative route to addressing one of those needs, while the addition of a free agent such as Ervin Santana, Nelson Cruz or Kendrys Morales could fill the second.

lol and would you trade Edwin + Stroman to get Price? Because that's about what it would cost

Quickly off the top of my head. Trade for: Hanigan QO: Josh Johnson Sign: Kazmir Sign: Infante ( If budget restricted Mark Ellis) Trade for prospects (for salary relief for above moves) J.A Happ Casey Jansen Sergio Santos ....although i have no idea with the budget the Jays are working with

We didn't trade any more prospects?

Fan Graphs article on how we can upgrade 2nd base. Not really thread worthy since all have been discussed extensively. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-can-toronto-do-to-fix-that-second-base-problem/

lol yup. Totally agree.

A contract " well below expectations" is the only contract i would be okay with it. Let's move on. We don't want Ervin. Ervin doesn't want our price.

Yeah. FV for the home opener was 14$. (500 section)

500's are face value at 14 bucks. Obviously if there's tons of seats still available (which there are for sat and sun) no one is going to buy 30$ 500's. Maybe 19 bucks if there aisle seats in a good row and in a good section.

Also. I have s***** home opener seats if anyone wants to trade for any weekend game for decent seats? God, i hate going to the home opener. So many idiots who don't give a s*** about baseball. This is probably the worst forum to ask. lol.

What? Who would sell tix under face value for the home opener weekend against the Yankees in Feb?

Hahaha. So much for AA being desperate, eh?

Are we really going to rip AA for not signing Ervin Santana for 4 years 50ish million and giving up a 2nd round pick on feb 19th when he's done basically nothing else? whooo gives a f***.

I'm totally fine with this.

My sarcasm detector just went off.

Changed my mind. My second favourite team is whoever is playing the f***ing Boston Red Sox.

I have the super sports pack and it works well for me. Saying that i have noticed a ton more non Bluejays baseball on the sportsnet platforms. You really don't need a fancy mlb package to watch non jays baseball.

Nope. Bluejays or bust.
