Carrera is on the team and Gibby loves him. He'll be starting in LF. Just typing that out disgusted me, but I know it's going to happen, so preparing for it now.
-
No. Just no. f*** no.
-
Man, if that's all they have left to spend, then Carrera/Upton is probably the LF tandem in 2017, at least to start out. I'm guessing they will want to save some money for mid-season pick ups, and players like Moss, Pagan, Valbuena, etc, will probably require at least $5m, if not more. Jose might be it as far as the off-season, unless they can save money elsewhere (damn I hate that Smoak extension).
-
Pagan would make sense now.
-
True but Toronto fans, at least the ones that showed up only when the team made the playoffs, are insufferable. Unfortunately they seem to be the most vocal in the cesspool that is Twitter and other social media outlets.
-
They made the highest offer to Edwin and got Bautista on a reasonable two year deal when he apparently wanted 150m a year ago, and people will still call them cheap and claim they want to rebuild. Toronto fans are not the brightest.
-
They need outfielders. He will probably play RF again and they'll live with the s*** defence and hope his bat comes back around. Adding another player that can platoon with Upton would be great, whether Moss or Valbuena.
-
Hope there's a team option in there.
-
How dare you mock a tournament where a catcher in his mid-30's will play SS, and two retired pitchers will pitch for Team Canada. It's totally legitimate and necessary.
-
That's possible, and I;d be fine with it if they add more minor league catching depth in Buffalo since AJ can't stay healthy. Please god no do not bring Navarro back.
-
Yeah the Jays will end up signing a catcher who has no aspirations of getting a lot of playing time so it probably won't be a good one.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. Not sure it's priority with four years of control remaining, but Shapiro has a history of signing players to team friendly deals during their arb years.
-
Iannetta signs with the D-Backs.
-
I'm surprised Shapiro is not more Ricciardi-esque with his answers given how much unnecessary crap he and Atkins get despite being good at their jobs.
-
Most WAR per dollar regardless of need makes me think Valbuena, but they'd have to concede that Smoak is useless for that to work.
-
I can almost visualize the neck-bearded rage that the Sportsnet comment section will have after reading a quote like that.
-
Carrera is not good. Gibbons thinks he is. That's a problem.
-
I don't think it necessarily means JD is moved (unless they are out of it at the deadline), but I think they def want that comp pick for Bautista. They clearly want to add as much to the farm system as they can.
-
Bautista, Pagan, and Iannetta should come at less than $30m assuming Joey takes the QO amount on a one year deal. Or you can do Valbuena, Pagan, and Moss for less than $20m in this market, and have money left over. I mean, the market is s***, but they'll be able to add wins.
-
They have probably $30m to spend and a ton of FA's still out there. They'll add players.

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
glory replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
All muscle, bro. -
Jays might be waiting until all the arb figures are fixed before proceeding. Stroman is the only real big arb case left, and Loup shouldn't be hard to sign. Maybe they'll finally do something after all that is settled.
-
Agreed, I don't want Carrera on the team at all, but if they sign Bautista it's probably going to be for $17-20m since his ego won't take less than the QO, so how much would they have left for another OF plus a back up catcher and whatever else they want to add? Trading Carrera would erase my fear of him starting, but if he's on the roster, then I'm pretty sure I know how the story is going to unfold. Gibby loves him. If they sign someone like Moss, and Carrera is starting in right, then f***. If not Jose, then they better sign two OF's and trade Carrera, even if it's for a bit player.
-
If they re-sign Bautista, they'll probably just role with Zeke/Upton in LF. If they don't sign Bautista, then they better sign two OF's instead.
-
Having both Carrera and Upton on the team means one of them is probably starting. They won't be starting the year with 5 outfielders in all likelyhood. That's not good.
