    They don't have to trade him, yes, but it is hard to use "we might extend him" as leverage when Stroman is saying the opposite every time someone puts a mic under his mouth. So in that sense, leverage is not on the Jays side. They can obviously keep him and use him in 2020, and maybe work on an extension at that point, but I don't think the Jays have any plans on doing that and other teams know it.
  2. glory
    Yeah whatever leverage the Jays could have had was destroyed by Stro going public. Everyone knows they are trading him.

    Yup that makes more sense. No way Tulo would have retired if it meant giving up a penny of his contract. Too good to be true. Oh well. Traded for in July 2015, replacement level by 2017, retired by 2019. Wow.
  4. glory
    That's the best news I took out of that. Floor they are comfortable with, offers increasing, and Yankees out of it? Sounds good to me.
  5. glory
    Tulo retires. What does that mean regarding what the Jays owe him?

    I'm a fan of Tony Kemp. Bring him in.

    Did you turn back into Brownie and tell yourself that you have mentioned this same point already, therefore are disqualified from ever bringing it up again, even if weeks or months (or years) have passed? That's the real question that needs to be addressed. And I doubt the difference in the two numbers is that much. Even Stroman is not so much of an egomaniac that he's going to want numbers that the market is not seeing. If anything he is probably asking for something similar to what Corbin got (6/140). I doubt the Jays number is any less than 5/80, if it is, then obviously they have no shot.

    Bautista himself said he would defy aging curves. I don't think fans were expecting him to. Stroman could blow is arm out tomorrow, that's how unpredictable pitchers are, but age 28 and expecting a few more good/3 WAR seasons is not outlandish, IMO.

    Stroman for Frazier would be horrendous, but if we trade with the Yankees, that's going to be the piece coming back. Cashman has plotted this for months. Whoever he gets, Frazier is going the other way. Hope it's not Stroman, unless he is willing to attach Deivi (he won't).

    Font only pitches well when he's wearing a Rays uniform.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Montoyo lets him face one more batter and then bringing Hudson on for the top of the lineup.
  13. glory
    No one warming up in the pen. Damn, stop letting Montoyo think for himself.
  14. glory
    If the Jays make that deal (hope they don't), I'd look to flip both of them.
  15. glory
    Taking Stroman out now would be ideal, but Montoyo will probably let him go 7, or get an out or two before a curtain call.
  16. glory
    That's a perfect Brian Cashman move. Two players he doesn't need, clears 40 man roster spots, and gets two players who will immediately help.
  17. glory
    I want Grichuk to have a monster 2020 just so he can be traded right after. The final 3 years of his deal is essentially 3/29. That is movable if he's any good. This season is clearly a write off for him. And count me in as preferring to keep Stro long term, but one reason is because I'm not confident about the trade return. If we get difference making prospects who can help in 2020-beyond, then that changes things. If we get Clint Frazier, then fml.

    Buntoyo has to play Galvis and Sogard for trade reasons, and then Drury has to get in there as well (team obviously likes him), so that’s the crunch. Once Galvis and Sogard are moved, playing time should open up. Bo coming up to sit on the bench would be a disaster.
  19. glory
    Yup if he goes to Houston he will become a legit ace within 2 weeks.
  20. glory
    He will start. I agree that he shouldn't though.
  21. glory
    Agreed. Stro or Giles could get hurt, their performance might fall off (see Happ's July last year), etc. Also the sooner a trade happens, the more control the receiving team gets. It won't mean much now, but two more Stroman starts if he's traded before tonight could mean something to the team acquiring him. There is no right answer, but risk by holding too long is definitely big. Teams are not stupid anymore. There are no AA 2013-15 GM's anymore. What teams are offering now is probably what they'll offer a week from now, at least the bigger names.
  22. glory
    So don't trade Stro to the Yankees, Shatkins.
  23. glory
    Damn the Jays were drilling Brad Hand. Too bad Vlad just missed it.
  24. glory
    On another note, Hernandez hasn't looked half bad since being recalled. With the bat at least. Haven't seen his D in CF, but FG rates it pretty poorly as one would expect.
  25. glory
    How Rivera has lasted this long is remarkable.
