He will take the most money but some players prefer playing a certain position. Austin Jackson signed with a team that would put him at CF last season. One year deal but still. If the Jays offer the most money then there's always a chance but if money is close, then ny guess is he takes the CF gig.
-
Fowler can probably get a CF gig somewhere. The Jays would have to blow other offers out of the water to get him and lose a pick in the process, and that's assuming he wants to sign in Toronto to play RF or LF. Don't see it happening. Holliday makes sense and now I want to see it happen.
-
Holland would be a solid risk to take. Good to know the Jays will do business with Boras now, really opens up the talent base they can acquire.
-
I don't know why some want to trade the SP depth. As is the Jays need more SP depth, not less.
-
Well he couldn't be truthful about JB's defence without offending him, so not surprised by that answer.
-
Was his performance in 2015 and 2016 in the bigs worth messing up his future as a SP? He's been excellent as a reliever but could the Jays have still succeeded without him while having him start in the minors? Honest question.
-
Not writing him off, but can't ignore how his bat has slipped the past two years, and he's at an age where you can't assume he'll just bounce back.

Cubs vs Indians 2016 World Series Discussion
glory replied to FrozenRopes's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Rooting for the Cubbies, but betting on the Indians. -
The problem with the Tulo trade is that the Jays are paying for what should be the twilight of his career, and it won't be cheap. If he had a few more 4-5 WAR seasons left in him, then you could live with the decline towards the end, but he's been a ~100 wRC+ hitter for the past two seasons, and he's just going to get older, slower, etc. If the defense slips at all, his value will plummet, unless his bat can bounce back from ages 32-35, which is possible I guess, but not likely. It's a tough one because Reyes was so bad defensively, and Tulo's defense has been a big reason for the Jays being so good the last year and a half, but I can definitely see the argument of why it was short sighted. I felt that way when it happened. AA is Dave Dombrowski's mini me. He takes risks and spends a ton. Some times the risks look great, but when they fail, it looks terrible.
-
His career high in innings was this season, all as a reliever (74 regular season innings, 9 more in the playoffs). The most he threw in the minors in a single season was 43. He has had TJ and now a shoulder issue crept up in the playoffs (may not be serious but something to keep an eye on). I just don't see how he can throw 100-150+ innings as a starter next season. I think the argument of starter vs. reliever in terms of workload is definitely arguable until more data is put into it (especially with Gibbons using relievers so recklessly), but Osuna is a different case for me. Mechanics don't look great, injury history, and lack of innings. Bad combination for a starter. He's already a pretty damn good reliever so just hope he has four more good seasons left in him and let him walk after that, or trade him before that.

I'd prefer Fowler to Reddick, but for some reason I get the feeling Reddick might be the easier sign. Fowler won't play CF in Toronto and that might be important to him. I'd also prefer Pearce to Thames for obvious reasons. Otherwise, count me in. Holliday makes so much sense for this roster given the way it is constructed that it will be a shame if/when it doesn't happen. Pearce too. Let's see Atkins work some magic here. Also, I've said this the past two off-seasons so I'll say it again, trade for Jarrod Dyson. Not sure how, or what it would take, or even if KC would want to do it given how cheap/valuable he is, but find a way. Underrated as hell.
-
With his ego, no. I could see him coming back if his market is dry, but not by accepting the QO.
-
Isn't Donaldson friends with Reddick? Get Reddick to play RF, Holliday to DH, enjoy the two picks from JB/EE.
-
Shapiro said he would not do a player option. I distinctly remember him saying that in the off-season.
-
If Osuna lasted 100 innings as a starter before his arm exploded, I'd be shocked. Ship has sailed.
-
I read the Thames article on Fangraphs. Don't know what to expect out of him, but on a cheap one year deal, and in a platoon with someone, he might be an interesting target. Just don't let him play the outfield. Pearce fits this roster like a glove. He fills more than one need (positional flexibility, hits LHP). Needs to happen.
-
The Jays get two picks with EE and JB leaving. Wonder if they splurge on a qualified FA.
-
He was awful last season no question but good prior to that. I'm not his biggest fan but as a buy low, I don't see many options.
-
Jays confirm Gibbons will return in 2017
glory replied to GodDonaldson's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Insert crying Jordan. -
Fowler would be great but he will be expensive. Out of the free agent list, Gomez might be the best buy low option.

Favorite Memories of the 2016 Blue Jays season
glory replied to King's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
ALDS (all three games) and WC game. The regular season is a bit of a blur to me. -
What's it going to take to get Puig? I realize he's a douche but we need to replace one in RF, and Puig is young and cheap. Maybe some upside there.
-
I can see the logic in trading Happ from a sell high perspective, but this is his 2nd straight 3 WAR season, so I don't think it's necessarily a mirage. Even if he declines he will still probably be worth the deal he is on, and the Jays still lack SP depth in the upper minors so he's not expendable.
-
That 2011 season he had, despite the team being mediocre, was unbelievable. Definitely an all time great Jay.

Call up Billy Beane ASAP.
