Ehjays

Have they updated their prospect list, knowing we were gonna be making a few moves we should have had a before and after list in our trade rumour thread

That's it???? FFS why address the media with that....just stay home

I believe he is retiring, why else would he meet the media before at game at a certain time.

After reading your post I checked my league and snatched him up as well. Worth a shot for reasons you gave

MLB Traderummours: Blue Jays Agree To Terms With Jordan Groshans, Adam Kloffenstein By Jeff Todd | June 12, 2018 at 10:50am CDT The Blue Jays have reportedly agreed to terms with top draft choice Jordan Groshans and third-rounder Adam Kloffenstein. The duo is expected to command a major portion of the team’s overall draft pool. Stefan Stevenson of the Star-Telegram reported Kloffenstein’s agreement to a bonus in the $2.5MM range, though the exact number is not yet known. Meanwhile, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reported that the team had sorted bonus values out on draft night with both players. It’s still unknown just what Groshans will sign for, but Jon Heyman of Fan Rag tweets that there is now a deal in place with the first-rounder. Making this pair of additions work was clearly the key to the Toronto draft strategy. Groshans was taken with the 12th overall pick, which comes with a $4,200,900 allocation. Kloffenstein went 88th, at a $652,900 slot, meaning the team needed to set aside close to $2MM of pool availability from other picks in order to sort the money out. Groshans, a Kansas commit who plays on the left side of the infield, topped out at 28th in pre-draft rankings. Fangraphs put him there, but was the only outlet to tab him as among the top thirty players eligible for selection. Groshans is said to have interesting power upside and an “electric” overall set of tools, but also still a few things to iron out as a pro. As for Kloffenstein, he’s a righty who had been committed to play his college ball at TCU. As Davidi details in his story, Kloffenstein had an interesting draft experience amidst uncertainty as to whether any team would meet his bonus request. In the end, he’ll take a deal to join the same organization as his neighbor and friend. Kloffenstein’s highest grade came from Baseball America, which cited the big-framed hurler’s recent strides and remaining projectability.

Pretty sure Kloffenstein confirmed it on his twitter page

If I was Atkins, I would take Oregon State pitcher Luke Heimlich as a punt pick.

Ye this is getting crazy!! Lets put Morales in CF as well.

I don't think our defense is great, apparently we have a big hole in right field

With this news, it wont help with attendance if it does get played. Lets hope they get this fixed....do they not realize we have been without Blue Jays baseball since Friday!!!

JD!!!!

yes!!...Hope he gets back on track soon

great inning....scored 3 runs and broke up Pillar/Grichuk/Travis as 1 2 3 next inning

OK lets bring him around

Glad Gibby put Travis down to 9 spot

If anyone is struggling I would say it was Travis, he just doesn't look quite right out there

John Havock also did a great job at that

I loved the dance he did in front of the dugout after Pillar stole home

Per MLBtraderumours: It appears that Carrera has accepted his assignment, as he would have had the right to opt instead for free agency. The fact that the remainder of the league passed on claiming him isn’t promising, though that would’ve meant stepping into a $1.9MM arbitration salary. It is not immediately clear whether Carrera is still playing pursuant to that arb agreement, or whether instead the team now controls him on alternative terms such that he’d earn at a different rate if he stays with the club into the start of the season. Regardless, the Jays will owe Carrera at least thirty days’ worth of termination pay (just over $300K).

Its all coming together, all this potential upside for only 1.75 million.. Great deal.

Did they get Stromans approval?

nice play

and it wasn't tied to a draft pick
