    5/125, So you are comfortable paying a 36/37 year old 25m a year, let me know how that works out lol. You could easily get as much war out of JD from signing 2-3 other players for about 5-8m/year less total per year, get younger players, fill more holes and end up with a better team. Plus if you trade him you could get a younger b+ prospect back too. So decent prospect + 2-3 other players vs a declining JD. Tough choice.

    But, would you stick with Morales even at the chance of costing you a potential WC spot? Twins have improved, and you know that you need to balance budget with assembling the best team possible. So, cutting Morales and adding let's say a 5M Walker, you really are only spending an extra 5M but you have the chance to get 1.5-2 fwar vs 0. That 2 games could be the difference in getting you into that WC spot and it's not like it will cost 15-20m. Anyways, if you want to win, you cut Morales, or he should have been as some GMs are taking advantage of the market.

    Yanks have an insane lineup. Player POS 1 Brett Gardner OF 2 Aaron Judge OF 3 Giancarlo Stanton 4 Gary Sanchez C 5 Greg Bird 1B 6 Didi Gregorius SS 7 Neil Walker 2B 8 Aaron Hicks DH 9 Brandon Drury 3B

    The deals are out there for teams still willing to take them, but if he only gets 5m with the Yanks, that's going to be a solid steal for them. Just keeps making the Morales contract suck balls because Walker can actually still run and take the field if needed.

    Last year, did they project Morales and JB to have negative war?
  7. xposbrad
    It's a great value signing no matter what, and Lynn is a solid pitcher to fit into their rotation.

    Although if Gomez does well you could flip him at the deadline, Grandy you aren't getting anything back.

    Nothing like paying a 37 year old 30m/yr lol, pass..The Jays had the chance to get a decent prospect for him, but they want to collect season ticket revenue instead. They'll get a semi decent prospect for him at the deadline or they'll just keep him for the playoff push that won't happen. I would love to see him traded in the offseason, when teams still have budget room and maybe a team will give up 1-2 top 5 prospects for him. Fans have to realize, the risk on the team going more than 4 years with him, even 4 years the last 2 years could have a significant drop in production in his 35/36 year seasons.

    two 5s = a 10

    Well, would you have been happy if we got the same return the Rays got for Longo?
  12. xposbrad
    Well, I don't think JD is going to get as big of a return as the fans here think. Maybe that's why he hasn't been traded. Although, I am more of the mindset that I don't think the Jays compete this year no matter what they do, and I rather get 1 top 100 prospect now, then risk JD getting injured or having a bad year and getting even less at the deadline.
  13. xposbrad
    Ya, but it doesn't look like the Jays want to completely rebuild, which is why this club will probably be fighting to be a mediocre team or good but not good enough for playoffs etc..They need at least 4-5 other tier 1 prospects coming up at the same time. No cheap stuff from ownership when they need to add pieces in the future. If they waste this opportunity and just try to compete now without stockpiling high end prospects when they realistically have no shot in the next year or two, it will be extremely upsetting.
  14. xposbrad
    I am talking about the Phillies. The jays aren't competing now, as much as Shatkins pretends they can.
  15. xposbrad
    Well if they want to compete now, JD would be an upgrade over Franko. No point to hanging onto JD if you trade Stroman.
  16. xposbrad
    It's a massive overpay, more like a slight one. Yet everyone here would hopefully easily take Santana @ 20m over useless Morales @ 11m. So it's not such a massive overpay, maybe a couple m/yr, but the Phillies need to do that now to get FAs, and so do the Blue Jays sometimes.
  17. xposbrad
    lol - true Sorry, I really just wish I heard them say, we're going to rebuild so we come back in a couple of years ready to pound the yankees. Instead of the 'we can still compete in '18' BS.
  18. xposbrad
    So we could just keep putting on band-aids? How would Ozuna who is a FA in 2 years help this club when it won't compete in '18 and really needs to gear for 2-3 years down the road? The Marlins want prospects back, the Jays need theirs, so what would Shatkins be thinking exactly?
  19. xposbrad
    Right, but they couldn't move him before the non-waiver deadline, they got a nothing reliever for him at the end. He has little value to most clubs, otherwise they would have dumped him before. They just wanted to get rid of his salary at that point.
  20. xposbrad
    The mets couldn't even flip him at the deadline..Not sure why the Jays would take him, they need guys they could deal and get some value back when they are out of it.
  21. xposbrad
    That's way too soon, with way too many holes and none of the prospects having shown what they have at the MLB level. They need at least 2-3 more years to accumulate more prospects/young mlb ready talent in trades and picks.
  22. xposbrad
    The Jays should focus on guys they will be able to deal at the deadline when they are out of it.
  23. xposbrad
    Obviously the White Sox haven't done anything yet, they have about 8-9 tier 1 prospects that will be at the mlb level in the next 1-3 years vs about 2-3 the Jays have. I think almost any single fan here would swap rosters/minor league systems with them without even thinking twice, mostly because we know we have an average team that isn't winning jack right now. But even if the Jays did a rebuild, they wouldn't be able to accumulate the high end talent the White Sox got, just not going to happen with this roster.
  24. xposbrad
    Couldn't he have given him a check for 10m or something to convince him, or does he save that just for terrorists?
  25. xposbrad
    I mean, I don't think Seattle is that great either, but we are kind of living in a glass house ourselves here so we shouldn't really comment on the future of other teams. It's not like we're going to be competing for a playoff spot in the near future lol...If anything, we should be happy the talent is spread to another team like SEA. Do we really want the Cubs/Dodgers to get that much stronger? Seattle is a very 'progressive' city, maybe he wants to drive a hybrid/recycle and listen to garage bands.
