    Atkins should be all over that.

    Grandy is such a good dude. Wish we had him in his prime. Either way, deal looks solid. A big lotto ticket for one month of an outfielder the Jays didn’t need sounds pretty good.
  3. glory
    It’s Merryweather. He can’t be traded until after the season (hence ptbnl) and if/when he’s healthy he’s probably going to start for the Jays towards the end of 2019. Makes too much sense to be anyone else based on Atkins quote.
  4. glory
    Merryweather is on the DL so the Indians couldn’t put him through waivers to trade him. After the season is over no restrictions. So sounds like it’s him. Can’t think of anyone else. Maybe Diaz, but where would he play?
  5. glory
    Comp pick for JD would have been in the 70’s, which makes your point even stronger. Giving him the QO for a chance at a pick in the 70’s sounds absurd, especially if they didn’t want him to accept it.
  6. glory
    QO only means something if he declines it. If he accepts and they feel his injuries might be recurring then you can’t qualify him again and who knows what his value will be next trade deadline. All that for close to $20m in what should be a sub .500 season. As long as the ptbnl is equivalent to a 2nd round lotto ticket then it’s probably for the better.
  7. glory
    The casual Toronto fanbase is insufferable.
  8. glory
    What if the ptbnl is conditional based on health/games played but he gets hurt for a different non calf reason? Just seems really convoluted. The 40 man roster player theory might be more logical.
  9. glory
    The fact that anyone believes this trade was Shatkins “helping out their buddies” is insanity. Any possibility that Cleveland offered the best deal out of all the teams or is that unrealistic?

    Yeah, I wouldn’t expect much. He’s not even ready to suit up yet so the Indians are not only getting a player with health question marks but for less than a month as well.
  12. glory
    The Sportsnet comments section is going to be full on derp in the next 24 hours, even more than usual.
  13. glory
    Trade him to Houston. They don’t mind trading top prospects.
  14. glory
    I hope you’re right, but I’m thinking more one prospect who is a lotto ticket type (boom or bust).
  15. glory
    The QO isn’t happening. It might be better than what the Jays end up getting for him, but it’s not happening. Shatkins wants no part of it and there’s probably stuff we don’t know about happening behind the scenes (hence JDs cryptic quote).
  16. glory
    JD was a victim of being a late bloomer in the post ped era. His free agent contract was always going to be an albatross for whoever signed him. Unfortunately for him he got hurt before he could cash out.
  17. glory
    I don’t want him, just spitballing realistic ideas. chances are Shatkins doesn’t want to give Jd the QO (hence the rush to trade him), and he’s a 2nd round/comp pick equivalent that the Indians may not find mind trading to win a WS this year. He may in fact suck but we are not getting a top 10 prospect here. See if the high performance can fix him.
  18. glory
    How about JD for Quentin Holmes (Cle)? He was a pick in the 60’s in 2017 and a massive lottery ticket.
  19. glory
    At this rate there’s a pretty good chance he accepts the QO. For whatever reason Shatkins doesn’t want that, so here we are. I’d like to know the reasoning as well. We might see JD moved for pennies to avoid the optics of not offering him the QO after the season, which would be a terrible outcome anyway you slice it.
  20. glory
    JD with a HR in the 1st inning. Dammit give us some good news and a trade by Friday.
  21. glory
    Just ate chicken with a side of chicken for dinner. Chicken for dessert.
  22. glory
    I doubt Flaherty was on the table for JD. Maybe Alcantara, but the Cardinals seemed pretty adament about not trading six years of control for one. That FG writer who suggested JD for Carpenter and Gyorko was pretty bang on in hindsight. We wouldn’t have traded for Solarte in that scenario, and Carp has been a beast this year. I hated that idea at the time (wanted prospects for JD) but would have worked better for the Jays. Could have traded Carp for a good haul.
  23. glory
    If they don’t want to qualify him it’s either because they think his injury has destroyed him or because the budget is going to shrink and they want to allocate resources for more long term assets. Maybe a little of both. Then of course there’s the whole Vlad at 3b issue. Plus they liked Drury enough to trade their most desirable trade asset for him so I’m sure they want to give him 3b reps as well. Losing JD for nothing (like, nothing in the literal sense) is happening folks. Keeping a player too long 101.
  24. glory
    There will likely be some trades, but based on the roster now, I’d go with: CA Jansen 1B Smoak 2B LGJ SS Tulo 3B Drury LF McKinney/Hernandez CF Pillar RF Grichuk DH Morales BN Martin BN Diaz BN Pompey (out of options) BN optionable infielder Solarte bought out, Travis either sent to minors or moved, and one of McKinney/Hernandez starting in AAA. AAA to start the year: McGuire, Vlad, Bichette, Biggio, Tellez (CA, 3b-1B) and Smith, Alford, and McKinney/Hernandez in the outfield.
  25. glory
    He looks like a 2 war SS, which is pretty good since he has four years of control left. He could be a good piece to have around even in the Vlad years. Don’t think he’s a long term SS but his D has been better than advterised so as long as he’s an average hitter he could used there until Bo is ready. He’s better than Tulo either way.
