    The moment I saw "Royals", I had a feeling it would be Sparkman. If he's involved, I hope he's not the only prospect.

    Facing the A's, Angels, and White Sox consecutively. Time to rack up some fake wins.
  3. glory
    He might have more of a beef than Stroman does (or thought he did).

    Yeah, looks like it will take a few more seasons like this one before Rogers concedes. I've heard American media talk about the Jays fan base in an envious way because it's young and loud. For a game that is leaning towards an older audience, that's huge. Don't think Rogers wants to lose that unless the team has no choice, so no wonder Shapiro is hyping up 2018.

    Watching the highlights of the home runs, and it's no wonder Rogers doesn't want to rebuild. Lively crowd and a lot of people considering it is a Wednesday night against a s***** team.

    Watch the team sell off their impending Fa's at the deadline, improve the outfield defence, get a capable stop gap at 2b, and go on a mini run.
  7. glory
    LOL, damn that was quick.

    Morales is so bad. Please find a taker for him and keep Pearce. Eat up all his salary, who cares.
  9. glory
    We don't have Sale, Quintana, and Eaton to trade. Stroman is the one guy we can move and get something like that back. Maybe Osuna. Sanchez when he's healthy can as well but this has pretty much been a lost year for him.

    It wouldn't surprise me at this point if they bring Estrada back on a smaller deal. Shapiro openly said he hates the free agent pitching market, and Estrada has been bad enough to where he might be affordable on a one year deal if they think he can bounce back next year.

    Ship has sailed. He's a reliever.
  13. glory
    Probably. I'm just making a prediction, not saying what I want to happen.

    When I saw his name as a rumored trade option for Texas, I figured Atkins would be all over it. Should come cheap because he hasn't been good, but still young with control left, and the Jays could give him playing time for the rest of this season, and the next two years when Travis and Tulo both take their annual extended DL trips. Not saying I want him, just saying it wouldn't surprise me if Atkins is after him.

    Jose now has a 93 wrc+ and .390 slg. Damn that extra draft pick would have been nice.
  16. glory
    I have a feeling we are targeting Profar. Can cover all infield positions and has two years of control left after this year. Value has gone to hell. Time to load up on failed top prospects and have them get some of that high performance Justin Smoak magic.
  17. glory
    Jarrod Dyson is a free agent. Can play all three OF positions extremely well and is probably a 2-3 war everyday player. Teams don't usually pay big money for defence and he's in his 30's. Might be a reasonable two year contract type of player.
  18. glory
    Ref's defence graded out pretty well in the outfield in 2016, though in a small sample size (158 innings). Doesn't look like much of an infielder but maybe there's some potential in the outfield. It's a shot in the dark but why the f not at this point?
  19. glory
    I don't think there is that much payroll room. Guaranteed deals next year are Martin, Smoak, Tulo, Pearce, Morales, Happ, and Guirrel. For those seven players it is a little over $75mm. Donaldson's arb case alone will take that figure close to $100m, and that's not factoring Stroman, Sanchez, Osuna, Pillar, and Travis in arbitration. Available dough is probably closer to $40-50mm than $65mm.
  20. glory
    Maybe, but he has a 1.2 WAR and 111 wrc+ right now, plus is probably playing through some sort of injury. Aside from Boston there really isn't a contender looking for a 3B either. The timing doesn't feel right to move him. By this time next year if he is back to 2013-16 JD performance, then even for half a season he might be able to get similar value to what he might have now. It's a risk either way.
  21. glory
    Seriously. Dombrowski is AA on steroids when it comes to trading prospects. And the ones he does keep he will promote straight from A-ball Double-A because why the f*** not?
  22. glory
    I think the issue here is that if trading Donaldson now isn't going to give them the type of return they want/need, then what's the point? If you're going to sell JD at 50 cents on the dollar than you can do that next year too. I don't want to look back 5 years from now and say "at least we got 3 s***** prospects for JD instead of losing him for nothing". Dammit, I want a real prospect or two. If you want to rebuild, you'll need to trade for real prospects. Otherwise you can just let them go for nothing and start from scratch after 2018. I mean, what the hell is the difference?
  23. glory
    I can see NJH's logic only because trading JD now would be selling very low and the Jays won't be getting the types of prospects they need in return for him. The question is how will his value look in the winter? If he has a great second half, then that would help, but if not, then what can the Jays realistically trade? I mean, other than the young pitching, they have nothing to trade. It's actually worse than being just old. They are old and have no value. I can see the logic in keeping JD and giving this group one more shot but only if they can't get appropriate value for him now. Seriously, a fire sale with nothing to trade isn't really all that enticing. We ain't getting what the White Sox got in return for their guys.
  24. glory
    Stroman would have so much trade value right now. If the Jays are going to rebuild, he's the guy to move. They could make a killing right now.
  25. glory
    Well, I mean, we had every right to be. He was awful before this season. Amazing year he is having though. Front office had faith in him and it worked out.
