    If the Jays dumped Morales and paid the rest of his salary I think it would be justified. Not only has he been terrible but running him out there at DH everyday meant playing everyone else on the field at all times and not being able to use DH as a means to rests guys. Just an awful signing. I hoped the exit velocity stuff would lead to something promising but he's the same guy just on the decline. Cut the cord.

    They can't possibly count on him to be an everyday 2B again. He's been injured all three seasons with the jays, and i think he was hurt in the minors for Detroit also. Dude is not reliable. Either get a utility infielder who can be expected to be a 1-2 war player over a season, or move on from Travis as an everyday player (or maybe move him somewhere where he only misses 40 games a year instead of 80). It sucks because he's really good when healthy and being injured all the time is not his fault (the body works in mysterious ways), but gotta be realistic.

    I know people 'love' hearing this name on this forum, but Profar wants to be traded and is out of options. If the Jays are looking for a lottery ticket that could become something in a utility role, he's the guy to go after. Worst case he sucks, best case you have something there and he's still young. Plus with Travis and Tulo as the middle infield, he would practically be guaranteed 500 plate appearances. I agree it comes down to JD. Either extend him prior to the season or trade him. Getting s*** back in return next July doesn't make sense, and I don't think there are enough off season moves that would make this team a true contender next year. Use 2018 as a way to gear up for 2019. They don't have to rebuild. Try to be a .500 team next year for all I care. Just move pieces like JD and Happ so that you can keep adding prospects to the system to hopefully give us more ammo for a run in a few years.

    The Orioles are going to win the 2nd Wild Card, aren't they? For as much s*** as their front office gets, if they make it again this year, that's four playoff appearances in six years despite having no farm system and a middling roster on paper practically every year. Either Showalter is that good or they sold their soul to the baseball god's. They are 9-3 against the Jays this year and have four coming up. We'll probably help them win the WC which is even worse.
  5. glory
    Yeah they are 2 games over .500 since starting the year 6-17. The 2nd WC will probably require about 82-85 wins. The Jays could have been there had it not been for that horrible start. Oh well.

    Seriously. This season feels like it is never going to end.

    Re: Aoki....The two players they picked up at the deadline and in August are both arb eligible in 2018 (Aoki, Koehler) and both were picked up when having down seasons. I mean, maybe they are buying low on them, but spending over $10mm on those two next year can't possibly be in their plans, can it?

    any chance the Jays just release Morales if they can't trade him this winter? Dude seriously has no value aside from his bat which is probably league average at best now that he's in his mid 30's and drilling everything into the ground. Just end the misery instead of trying to get value out of a mistake.

    Gotta love sports today. Accused of domestic violence? Suspended for like 30% of the season. Commit actual assault on camera on the field? 5 games.
  10. glory
    He is striking out like crazy since the trade though. Hopefully it is just SSS and being away from the PCL messing him up a bit. He's been a lot better over the last 10 games (still 27% k% over that span).
  11. glory
    I hope the rumor that Rogers told the front office to sign Bautista isn't true. That's kind of scary if it is. Cost the team a comp pick and forced the fans to watch a franchise legend deteriorate before our eyes.
  12. glory
    The Jays have 2 rotation openings in 2018, plus practically no depth in the minors. Koehler will be lucky to get a big league rotation job elsewhere, but even if he wanted to test the market, this team is probably the best fit for him if he realistically wants big league starts next year. Hell, if he leaves, he leaves, no big loss, but I could see the Jays trying to bring him back to act as depth.
  13. glory
    They will probably work out a deal to bring him back cheaper. He sucks but after what we saw this year with depth starters, he can't possibly be worse to hide in the pen in case of need than Bolsinger, Valdez, Tepesch, Rowley, Lawrence, and whoever else the team started that I'm trying to forget.
  14. glory
    Signing JD through age 37 at huge money is kind of insane. Not everyone ages like Beltre. Considering the type of 2nd half he is having, I say trade him this winter, but there will be something preventing that from happening, and it rhymes with Dodgers.
  15. glory
    Depends on how Vlad can handle the position. I wouldn't want him to be like Edwin was in Cincy or Cabrera was in Florida/Detroit, a defensive liability for many years. If he is better off at first or left or somewhere else, then move him there young. The bat is what makes him a top prospect, not the D.
  16. glory
    If Alford is on the team he should be the center fielder. Not a fan of moving someone to a corner just for Pillar's s***** bat and still good but declining D.

    The Jays acquired Tom Koehler for Osman Gutierrez during the board blow up this weekend. One more year of control after this season, but I hope they don't intend on offering him arb.
  18. glory
    Don't ever leave me again.

    A player i could see the Jays going after from STL is Grichuk. Dude hits the ball hard and in the air. Strikes out a ton though.
  20. glory
    This is going to be the road trip which seals the Jays season IMO. Even taking 3 of 6 would be an accomplishment but I have a feeling something like 1-5 is on the way. Hope I'm wrong.
  21. glory
    Yeah seriously. Bring Joe Smith back or some equivalent to him that's always on the market every year and get 3-4 pieces back for Osuna before his arm explodes. Best use of a closer.
  22. glory
    Stroman probably saw Refsynder coming in as an infield replacement and is going to try to strike everyone out.
  23. glory
    Is Ohlman a bad framer? According to gameday the 0-2 pitch to Ramos was a curve ball right down the middle and called a ball. Or maybe just umps being umps.
  24. glory
    Estrada will be back next year. Whichever team claimed him won't give up much for 5 or 6 starts. Nothing's going to happen.
  25. glory
    It's not so much the Aav, but the fact that he could be an issue just having on the roster. How many sluggers like him without super elite plate discipline age gracefully? Even Bautista who did have great plate discipline saw a big drop off at age 35-36, and Stanton will be signed until 38. It's an Alex A move. A move that will provide value and excitement for the first few years until you realize you're stuck with a former great player in his twilight making big money towards the mid/end of the deal.
