  1. In this market, Bassitt and Green should definitely be moved.
  2. I hate pitching prospects but a top 100ish prospect plus others (I would assume) seems pretty fair. Let’s see what the rest of the deal looks like.
  3. If the M's aren't picking up all of Turner's money (looks like they aren't), then the Jays might need to move one of Green or IKF to get below the luxury tax. I can't see the Jays wanting to be a tax team in 2024. Resetting the penalties will help them as they go 2015 AA this winter, so I think they end up moving Green or IKF (preferably both, but that's asking too much).
  4. The Blue Jays official account says it's Turner and "cash considerations". That makes more sense as I can't imagine a team as cheap as the M's usually are taking all of Turner's contract. Obviously I hope the first report is true.
  5. Wow, can't believe the M's took all of Turner's remaining salary. I thought there was no shot the Jays could get under the tax by just trading the pending FAs but I guess they can now. I hope they still trade Green and IKF, though.
  6. Worst day of John Schneider’s career not being able to pencil in Turner in the clean up spot everyday. But yeah the return is irrelevant. Just get him off the roster so someone with a possible future on this team could get plate appearances.
  7. Yeah I want Bo gone yesterday but hard to see them getting value when he’s hurt on top of the bad performance. Revisit in the off season, although this front office is more likely to revisit it next July. To me the more obvious trade candidate is IKF. If there is a market for him and they keep him because they want to compete in 2025 then they need their damn heads examined.
  8. Ross Atkins spit out his drink after reading this.
  9. Atkins seems like one of those guys who has trouble making eye contact with people. Doesn’t surprise me at all that he’d operate like this.
  10. The Jays clearly did not want to deal with Pearson when he has no minor league options next year. It did start to feel like if Pearson ever panned out it would be somewhere else. Let's see what the Cubs can do with him. Personally, I would have kept him and stretched him out in the Spring. Chances are that would have failed too but it's not like the Jays are swimming in SP depth, so it would have been worth a shot. Either way this seems like a whole bunch of meh all the way around.
  11. Double A SS based on their top 30 is probably Josh Rivera, and his numbers are ass. Will wait to see what the return is. Pearson isn’t exactly a high value asset so not expecting much.
  12. Kikuchi for Trey Sweeney and a low A prospect is going to hurt a little bit.
  13. I’d trust a bum on the street over Morosi, so I won’t buy this until someone reputable posts it, but I’d be pleasantly surprised if they traded Green. Hope it happens and they get something decent.
  14. "You can cross off 4th OF from 2025's needs list." - Ross Atkins, probably.
  15. I can't get over how insane it would be to not trade Vlad this trade deadline, and then follow that up by not extending him in the off season. Is the team seriously going to keep him for one more year because they want to contend in 2025 and then either trade him next July or let him test free agency? If Shapiro green lights that approach, then he can take the first bus out of town.
  16. My guess is Hays platoons with Marsh, and they still try to acquire a CF.
  17. 0.7 WAR, 219 IP, 4.79 ERA, 4.26 FIP Richards as a Blue Jay over the last 3.5 years. Let's just be thankful he doesn't have any arb years left.
  18. There's definitely a package with the Mariners that would make sense for both sides. The Jays (Rogers/Shapiro/both) don't have the balls to do it, but the M's are the team that has the need, desperation, and prospect capital to make this type of move worth it from the Jays end.
  19. 0 prospects and for now only 1 bad contract (Berrios). Not a great spot for a new president/GM, but better than Shapiro hiring a new GM to try to put lipstick on a pig in 2025, and then a new president hired in 2026 being stuck paying Atkins and that new GM before he can even bring his own people in. At this rate, I think Shapiro is the one that needs to go, so if Rogers lets him go after the season (they won't), then that might be the best course of action. Having a lame duck team president with no incentive to care about anything beyond 2025 on a team in the Jays current position is just a really bad situation.
  20. The Mariners might be the team that would overpay for Vlad, and they have some interesting prospects (Ford, Montes, Emerson, Young). Would be curious to see what they would have offered if Vlad was available.
  21. As I mentioned in another thread, with Shapiro only having a year left on his deal, if he hasn't already agreed to some sort of extension, then he shouldn't be hiring the new GM. So if Shapiro is back in 2025 minus an agreement to stay longer, then unfortunately it makes more sense to just keep Atkins for one more year. Then if 2025 ends up like many of us are expecting it to, then they can get rid of both of them and start fresh.
