    The Jays traded 4 weeks of an injured Donaldson (more like 2-3 weeks by the time he comes off the DL) who hasn't played in the bigs since May. The fact that they got anyone who might become a decent big leaguer is pretty good.
  2. glory
    Yup. The casual fan mouth breathers who pollute social media with their ignorance will celebrate. This would be such a huge blow to the Jays org.

    My bad didn’t scroll through the page. s***** news either way.

    https://sports.yahoo.com/report-blue-jays-president-mark-shapiro-linked-potential-mets-job-235231923.html Damn this better not be true but it wouldn't shock me if it is. When Shapiro made the "we would have rebuilt two years ago" quote, combined with renovations to the stadium that Rogers still hasn't approved, I can't imagine someone with Shapiro's background putting up with that s***. He doesn't need Toronto, he'd get hired somewhere else pretty easily. Rogers tampered in order to hire f'n Kenny Williams and Dan Duquette four years ago. They got really lucky that Shapiro fell on their laps. I don't even want to think about who they'd get to replace him if he left.

    Donaldson isn't coming back to play on turf when his body is breaking down already. He gone.
  7. glory
    Yeah hearing the actual clip is still sounds like Merryweather is the guy so nothing has changed. I guess we just have to wait and see.
  8. glory
    The only player whose numbers might suggest potentially being an "impact player" (which is how I think Atkins described the ptbnl) down the road is Yandy, but they'd have to fix his s***** GB rate. I guess Chang, Mercado, and Allen are possibilities as well.
  9. glory
    He's not on the DL but he's not active. I'm not 100% on the rule but I thought the player has to be healthy to be put on waivers, and Merryweather won't be healthy for a while. If Atkins said that then either it is someone else or Merryweather could in fact be put on waivers and was claimed.
  10. glory
    The Jays got a player for basically two weeks and a post season run of Donaldson (assuming he's healthy enough to play). Based on what Atkins said the ptbnl is already agreed upon but can't be named yet due to the rules (Merryweather is hurt/can't pass through waivers), so assuming it's him, if he turns into anything, that's a huge win for the Jays.

    Wall is striking out a ton and has a high babip so yeah the line isn’t that impressive, but he’s hitting fewer GB and walking more since the trade. He will be 23 next year so AA is still an appropriate level. Next year will be big for him.
  12. glory
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. glory
    The casual Toronto fanbase is insufferable.
  19. 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.
  20. 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?
  21. glory
  22. glory
    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.
  23. glory
    The Sportsnet comments section is going to be full on derp in the next 24 hours, even more than usual.
  24. glory
    Trade him to Houston. They don’t mind trading top prospects.
  25. glory
    I hope you’re right, but I’m thinking more one prospect who is a lotto ticket type (boom or bust).
