  1. Atkins has never traded real prospects before. Interested to see what he has given up. SWR's stock has dropped a bit but still a big piece. Hopefully he's the best one traded.
  2. If the Jays are offering something better than SD and Tampa, then it's probably significant. Pearson is likely gone if that deal happens.
  3. That's my guess as well. The Padres not only want to contend with the Dodgers, but Preller is far more likely to trade prospects than Atkins is. Now, if Pearson is up for trade, then maybe that gives the Jays a chance, but I can't imagine Pearson's value is anywhere near where it was 1-2 years ago given his injuries. Are the Twins also shopping Kenta Maeda? Two more years of really cheap control after this season. He'd be a solid target.
  4. Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, and two mid range prospects according to Rosenthal would be in the deal.

    He was going 5, so not a reach at all, but there’s a good chance he’s not as good a pro as Suggs IMO. Hope I’m wrong and Masai/Nurse make me look stupid.

    I'm a Suggs fan. I don't like this at first glance, but I won't doubt Masai.
  7. Lukewarm would be an understatement. Not a bad move or a good move. Just a move.
  8. I thought for sure Matz was done before he could face the lineup for the 3rd time, but Buntoyo kept him in for Hernandez and Devers, and then brings in Murphy to make sure the Jays don't make any sort of comeback.

    I actually wouldn't mind taking a chance on Simmons. He's a PF/C being forced to play more traditional PG because of Philly's roster, and it's hindering his game. Keep him in the low post offensively. He can't do that in Philly because he'd clog up the paint from Embiid. If the Raptors had a lineup of FVV, Suggs, OG, and a stretch big at center (Boucher or preferably a starting caliber C who can shoot), then Simmons would be completely in his element. Can Nurse fix him? Who knows, but he's never been in a player development oriented org, and he's never been used to his strengths. It might be worth the gamble if the cost is reasonable (and despite Morey's insanity, his asking price will eventually drop).
  10. Great outing by Ray. The 7 inning games definitely benefit the Jays with their lack of BP depth.
  11. The A's are trotting out Elvis Andrus' corpse at short. Probably could have gotten Luzardo for Semien (+ eating all his 2021 money).
  12. Unless Luzardo is damaged goods, that seems like a pretty big overpayment for a rental.
  13. Sounds like Dipoto has other moves lined up that will compensate for losing Graveman (remains to be seen). I actually think that's a pretty smart strategy. Whether Dipoto can pull it off is another story, but he knows his team is overachieving and rather than being blinded by it, he's hedging his bets. Maximize value out of impending FA, and probably will mix in some short terms moves to help the 2021 team as well.
  14. No chance Kirk is hitting above vetrins this season.
  15. If he's unlikely to approve a trade to NY, then I would assume Canada is out of the question, but worth a shot either way since he's open to being extended.
  16. I think the lesson learned in building a cheap pen is betting more on performance volatility and less on injury risk. The Jays literally signed Yates when he was hurt. Phelps had an injury history. Those were their two biggest pen signings along with Chatwood. Then factor in internal guys like Merryweather and Borucki who had extensive injury histories. I mean, every pitcher is an injury risk in general, but still. The Jays were betting on a lot of health luck.
  17. When the Yankees traded Chapman to the Cubs in 2016, they were 51-48 and 4.5 games back of the 2nd WC. They went to game 7 of the ALCS the following year. The Jays won't sell because they are going back home for the first time since 2019, but I don't think it would look bad on the org if they did.
  18. Hosmer with Montoyo managing would play everyday and bat 3rd. Not worth it even for the prospects.
  19. Montoyo will be here next year, and there will probably be expanded playoffs, so he will keep his job here forever since the Jays will probably be good enough to be one of the top 7 teams for the next few years (although they’re 8th right now so maybe not).
  20. Grichuk about to f*** this rally up royally.
  21. The worst part is he'll always be an everyday player as long as he's on this team and Buntoyo is managing. They need to Joe Panik him even if they have to take back an equally bad contract.
  22. Zoinks traded to the Cardinals.
