    Baldelli and Espada were linked to other teams. They seemed to have many options. I don't remember reading Montoyo being linked to other teams. I'm not saying the Jays settled, but t may have been an easier sell for Montoyo than the others. At the end of the day he comes from a great org and Shatkins would not have hired him if he wasn't going to implement their philosophies on the field, so I'm not worried. Seems like a good hire.

    Jays are looking for a manager right when the Yankees and Red Sox are back to being dominant, and now even the Rays look like they'll be a force long term. Baldelli chose the team in the shittiest division in pro sports. Much greater chance for success there.

    The Sox are going to win this series, so hopefully it's a sweep and we can move on to the off season. Dodgers just aren't on the Red Sox level.

    Their minor league system isn't very good and their big guns are heading closer to free agency. Kimbrel after 2018 Sale after 2019 Bogaerts after 2019 Porcello after 2019 Betts after 2020 Bradley after 2020 Dombrowski signs a lot of big contracts and makes a lot of big trades, but eventually the lack of farm system and luxury tax (assuming the Red Sox even care about that) will start to restrict that. The Yankees look like more of a long term winner to me. Red Sox will be great for another 2 years, and then it's uncertainty.

    Price winning a playoff game as a starter in the ALCS pretty much confirmed the Red Sox are a team of destiny this year. No one is stopping them.

    I'm glad the Jays got something for Pearce in a trade, but damn it sucks watching him help the Red Sox.
  7. glory
    Yeah they are by far the best team in baseball from top to bottom. Sucks.

    Kershaw at 89-90 mph is not going to do anything against the Red Sox.
  9. glory
    Shatkins is going to get a Rays coach one way or the other.

    Looks like Elliot changed his story.

    Bauer is gutsy as hell for going at it with a woman on social media. He's in a no win situation in today's society. No upside at all, but tons of downside for him.

    Out of the names mentioned, I had no interest in Bell, Hyde, or Sprague. To me it's between Espada and Baldelli, and don't mind either one.

    Hoping the Dodgers win, but Boston will win it in 5 or 6. It’s their year.
  14. glory
    David Bell to the Reds. Espada or Baldelli seems pretty likely as long as neither one withdraws.
  15. glory
    I’m sure he would have preferred Yankees/Dodgers but this will be the next best thing. Good for baseball. People will actually care about the WS. Baseball needs mainstream eyeballs and Boston/LA should get it. Of course game isn’t over yet so Milwaukee has time to ruin Manfred’s wet dream.

    The Yelich trade could have been better (although still time for Brinson to turn into something), but Miami deserves props for getting out of the Stanton contract and then selling high on Ozuna. Now adding the Mesa’s. Could have been a lot worse.

    Sale loses man points for that.
  18. glory
    Ryan Tepera it is.

    Jeter making moves.

    So he can catch 50 games behind Jansen and then be able to cover a s***** 3B when the team already has Drury, Diaz, and eventually Vlad to fill that spot. On a team with no intention of competing. The other alternative is to trade him, get a lotto ticket or two, and give him a chance to start on a contender. I’m sure Martin loved sitting on his ass all september but if he still thinks he can start then we’d be doing him a favor while opening up playing time for others and maybe getting an asset back. I’d take a Samad Taylor type for Martin and hope he turns into something.

    Well if it's Morales for Desmond and Gray, then I don't think Rockies fans would consider it a Vernon type of trade. It would be like if the Jays traded Wells and Morrow to the Angels for Napoli, or something like that. Gray would be the intriguing wild card piece that either could turn out to be really good or continue along the path that he's on (which is still pretty good). I don't think the Rox would trade Gray just to save $28m over three years, but who knows what the hell that front office would do.

    If you're moving him, it's entirely to a) free up the starting catcher spot for Jansen, get any assets you can for someone who isn't going to yield draft compensation after the year, and c) do a veteran player a favor by trading him to a contender where he could start (rather than back up a rookie on a rebuilding team). If Houston offers a couple of low minors types who would rank 20-30 in our system and we have to eat up $15m, then do it. Why wouldn't you? Keeping Martin isn't going to help us get to the playoffs, and using him as a backup is a slap in the face to him. Not sure why people are so defensive about a trade like that. Don't give him away for s***, but a trade while eating some money is not a bad thing.
  23. glory
    Desmond has a $2m buyout, so it's really 3/40 for him, plus he will get a NTC if he's traded. Even if the Rox take Morales, that leaves the Jays on the hook for 3/28 on a really s***** player. If it means getting Gray for nothing then you have to consider it considering where the Jays are with SPs, but that's a lot of dead weight money.
  24. glory
    Yeah, Dombrowski will be remembered fondly as a Red Sox exec especially if he wins a title, but if there’s one guy I expect to completely kill the Sox by the time the Jays are ready to contend, it’s him.

    Price winning a playoff game as a starter is about to happen. Where's Ryan Goins when you need him?
