    Yeah trade Happ for whatever you can get (which will likely be better than a comp pick barring Happ getting hurt or turning into Ricky Romero overnight) and then sign him in the winter. Holding him and then re-signing him is wasting the potential assets we can get a deal. Even if they are lotto ticket prospects, it should still be more useful than a comp pick. I still think the Jays should try for very young players that are years away from the bigs but have higher upside (Morales from the Phillies, Medina from the Yankees). The bust potential is huge but if they reach their potential, it's a risk worth taking, especially if you can just sign Happ again in three months.

    I'm real curious to see how AA is as a GM for them. He's already drafted a 1st rounder and promptly didn't sign him so he's the same old dude in that sense, but what about trading prospects?

    Rich Hill is not a fair comparable since as mentioned the deal included Reddick. Maybe we can compare it to Yu Darvish last year, but Darvish was a better/more established pitcher at the time. The Rangers got one top 50 prospect (Calhoun) and two lotto tickets. I might lean towards getting higher upside players further away from the bigs only because contending teams might be more willing to part with them. The risk with those types is a lot higher but so is the upside. Not sure what the Phils would give up for Happ though. Maybe they'd move Ortiz. Would they move Morales?

    Who was the one who wrote "White Jays" and implied that Ricciardi would not have liked Jackie Robinson? Or am I completely hallucinating that?
  6. glory
    The Jays got Samad Taylor and Pannone for 2 months for Joe Smith, and Teoscar for 2 months of Francisco Liriano. I'd much rather trade Happ. This front office is good. They'll find value.

    Jon Gray with 7 shutout innings on 84 pitches so far, but he's given up 2 hits and 1 walk, so he'll probably get demoted for that.
  8. glory
    Oh has been so good this season. Thanks to the Rangers for signing him and then backing out at the last minute.

    JD and Happ being traded last year would not have been selling high, just a realistic option given how bad the team was last year. Not quite the same as trading JD after he won the MVP.
  10. glory
    I wonder if Happ liked Seattle in 2015. He might be heading back there soon. Sucks for Paxton though if it's serious.
  11. glory
    The Jays would have to eat up practically all the remaining salary (or close to it). I mean, I wouldn't mind, even if the return was minimal as the Jays aren't going anywhere for the remainder of Martin's contract and he's declining, but the salary savings would be next to nothing. No team is touching even 80% of that contract.
  12. glory
    I think the Jays will get fair value for Happ but it will be a lot less than people think. In other words, rentals don't go for what they used to, and Happ is clearly not a difference making level talent (good pitcher but that's about it). If we get a couple of B/B- level prospects, that's probably what I'd expect, nothing more. Now, if we were trading Happ and JD last trade deadline, when they both had an additional year of control, we might have been having a different convo.

    “Hey Cashman, when i asked for Frazier last week, I actually meant Medina. Call me back”.
  14. glory
    He threw over 40 pitches and still couldn’t finish the inning. Yes it’s not his fault but errors happen behind you some times. If that causes him to throw nearly 50 pitches in 2/3 of an inning then not sure what else can be said. Betts working you into deep counts is understandable but he wasn’t the only one in that inning.
  15. glory
    Defence let Happ down but no excuse to throw this many pitches against New York and Boston back to back while not getting past the 4th inning in either start.
  16. glory
    This whole thing is playing out in the most blue jays way possible. Atkins is going to wait until one minute before the deadline to trade him, and by then Happ will either suck, get hurt, or both.
  17. glory
    Yeah gotta get the low minors lottery tickets. Cashman is too smart to trade the higher level ones so have to hope he trades some of the 18-19 year old's that are far away and develop them.
  18. glory
    Wonder if Cashman would trade Medina for Happ. Thats the type of prospect a team might be able to steal from Cashman since he’s years away from the bigs with no performance to rely on yet.
  19. glory
    Yeah unless I am misremembering, Romero fixed his walk issues for the most part (2009-11), but when his knees got messed up, then his control went to s***, and that's what ended his effectiveness.
  20. glory
    I'm down for that, but is Vlad?
  21. glory
    Since when is Sanchez a fly ball pitcher? He has over 50% GB rate. Put a good defence behind him and he's the type who can beat his FIP (lots of grounders, average K rate).
  22. glory
    Sanchez seems like a FIP beater type so the Rockies would probably love him. Maybe there’s something there if/when he ever gets healthy.
  23. glory
    Selling off some vets and then trading for Jon Gray at the same time would be so awesome.
  24. glory
    But they have a young roster, that figures to get younger next year when they replace Gardner with Frazier and probably add Sheffield to the rotation mix. It's not like they are AA's Jays in 2015 that were hanging on to their playoff window for dear life and needed to do something before an inevitable rebuild. The Yankees don't need to do anything desperate. They can risk the WC this year, keep their assets in case someone better becomes available in the winter, and go for the division for the next five years. Look at the prospects he gave up for 2.5 years of Sonny Gray. Basically three prospects on the back end of the top 100 prospects list. In this case we are talking 2 months of Happ. He's probably offering Billy McKinney and some others he doesn't want to put on the 40 man at the end of the season.
  25. glory
    Yeah the Jays are in the driver's seat. Either get a good deal or keep him for next year. I'd still rather move him though as you can never assume relievers will be good year to year. His performance this year and that cheap team option should be very desirable.
