  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Yup if he goes to Houston he will become a legit ace within 2 weeks.
  6. He will start. I agree that he shouldn't though.
  7. 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.
  8. So don't trade Stro to the Yankees, Shatkins.
  9. Damn the Jays were drilling Brad Hand. Too bad Vlad just missed it.
  10. 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.
  11. How Rivera has lasted this long is remarkable.
  12. I just don't want waiting to bite us in the ass again. Both Stro and Giles have looked great recently. This should be peak value. The fear of holding on too long is still lingering. Last year scarred me.
  13. I meant "never forget" Pompey stealing 2 bases. You can forget everything else that happened in that inning.
  14. Yeah I believe he even said he wasn't 100% yet from the concussion. If he was on the big league roster he probably wouldn't be at his best anyway. Probably hoping he'll sneak through waivers.
  15. I think Stroman's teammates probably like him and his personality a lot more than posters here do even if he calls himself the glue. He's a gamer, always gives props to his teammates, and cheers them on even during a tanking season. Contrast that with someone like Sanchez who is not nearly as outspoken but seems like much more of a douchebag. I don't know why Stro is so hated here. No doubt responding to a random fan's tweet is a bit much, but baseball needs more players like him.
  16. The last time the Yankees pushed someone as hard as Deivi this young was Severino. I think they hold on to him. Pushing him to AAA at 20 is very aggressive. I don't think they do that and then trade him, but I would definitely be happy with a package involving Deivi in it for Stroman. I'm looking at the top 30 prospects lists for the rumored teams, and keep going back to the Twins. They have the prospects and the need. It's a perfect match.
  17. I'm expecting Frazier for Stroman, so I can't possibly be disappointed when my expectation is as low as it is.
  18. Well there was a rumor that Shapiro "scolded" AA in 2015 for trading so many prospects away for a one year window, so if anything, I would think any bad blood would come from AA, not from the Jays. Not that I think either side would avoid trading with each other. If both teams' needs are met by trading with each other I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't see why the Jays would care at all. Unless Rogers holds a grudge for him turning down their offer or something petty like that. Regardless, yes, let's get some damn trades happening.
  19. I'm going to miss Stroman.
  20. Wish Aaron Boone was in the Jays dugout tonight.
  21. Hopefully this is Stro's last inning.
  22. Agreed. The injury probably altered some plans, but the longer they wait, the less sense it makes to call him up. Lose 2026 to get 8 weeks in 2019? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
  23. This was my first thought. After 3 days in a row with Giles, I hope Montoyo isn't going to let him go for the CGSO and rack up a high pitch count. He's at 70 after 5, but have to be smart here.
  24. I can't see the embedded Tweet anymore either, so maybe he took it down. He tweeted in 2016 basically saying f*** Aroldis Chapman and that he wasn't a fan of domestic violence. He must have been somewhat of a fan of it, apparently.
