    Hudson’s been s*** for a couple of years so not surprising.

    Damn this game sucks. At least it’s going by quickly.

    Damn is this game going to start any time soon? MLB.tv just saying it will begin shortly.
  4. Already the 6th inning and the game started like an hour ago. No amount of openers or elite relievers is better than having an elite starter.

    Tellez playing over McKinney. That's interesting.
  6. Pretty messed up to call him up and then change course like that, unless there is another move on the way. I'm pretty sure Pillar will be a Jay until he retires so I am no longer expecting him to be traded. Shatkins trying to troll us by keeping him for this long.
  7. Tellez and Guerra make the team. Alford does not.
  8. Interesting interview with Manfred.
  9. Nah, Pillar is starting. Alford will end up getting a lot of AB's this season, though. I think Montoyo will be playing a bunch of different lineups on a day to day basis.
  10. $500k for DSJ plus at least $250k in this deal gives the Jays a pretty healthy amount. Shatkins has invested heavily in international market since they took over. I like them doing this much better than getting some s***** C level prospects.
  11. Save a mil or two, get some international bonus money, and open up DH for a younger player? Yeah, I'm kinda happy with this.
  12. I think he's there to fill up one of the outfield corners since Alford is the only healthy OF they have in AAA.
  13. Who is going to provide the vetrin presents now?
  14. Damn how the hell did Shatkins pull this off? The return is probably s***, but who cares? I don't think this was for Tellez, it is probably to play both Teoscar and McKinney at the same time, with Pillar in CF and Grichuk in RF.
  15. Cleveland will still win the Central. That division is s***.
  16. The Jays are going to keep him for as long as they need to in order to hold his rights for six years and then IL him. Shatkins doesn't care about 2019. They'll find a way to work around this.
  17. Luciano is going to stay on the team for whatever amount of days he needs to (90?) and then will be IL'ed for the rest of the year. Montoyo will have to be careful when he uses him because we will probably see a bunch of 1 IP/5+ ER outings from him, and 5 runs might be kind.
  18. Do we know if Paulino was sent down to start? If he was, then I approve. If he wasn't, and they are putting him in the pen, then he should be in the bigs right now.
  19. Yeah I'm mixed about that. Glad for Tatis that he made it, but seems like a dumb move by the Padres. The system is broken and needs to be fixed, but the Jays are doing the more sensible thing here.
  20. Yeah. Shatkins hoard prospects like collectibles. They left Bergen unprotected because they either think he isn't that good, thought he would pass through without being selected, or both.
  21. Thornton makes the team as the #4 starter. Interested to see how he does.
  22. Yup. I like young players getting guaranteed money at years 0-6 at the expense of 1 or 2 of their free agent years. Seems like a reasonable trade off. Now as you said if they start to pay players better early in their careers, then the good players will still get extensions, and the elite players will still get insane contracts, but the younger developing talent will be better compensated for their early years. Really the only players that get screwed are the older/replacement level types, but that was going to happen regardless with smarter front offices.
  23. Straily actually seems like a Shatkins type of move.
  24. Shatkins puts practically no priority in the pen as they try to find cheap vets coming off down years to sign every year (good strategy) so I doubt they would demote Paulino to pitch out of the pen. Unless the Giles thing made him fall out of favor....
  25. Players smartening up by avoiding free agency. Now young players smartening up by giving up a year or two of their free agent years to get guaranteed money in years 1-6. I don't think there will be a strike anymore. A few months ago I would have said there is a good chance, but the players seem to have adjusted. Maybe some minor tweaks in the CBA but both sides will probably figure out a way to avoid a stoppage now.
