Melky was supposed to bring the Hos. Er groupies

I would think he is waiting for someone to fall cheaply into his lap be it thru trade or free agency. Even if Delabar comes back the pen is still ugly. Talk all he wants about Sanchez in the rotation, the way this BP is Sanchez is bound to be needed in the pen.

Kemp deal hits a snag? Medical was on Tuesday and is supposed to be completed tomorrow . Wonder what the scoop is with the medical.

Every reliever seems to be getting overpaid right now. Seems the new norm. Teams watched KC ride those 3 arms in the BP to a World Series appearance and said I got to get me some of that. As one poster said patience is on our side. There will be some value signing later in the year.

I would definitely bring him to camp for 500 k. Not sure if he would want to pitch in the ALEast but he might just like the chance to close. It isn't like your paying much if he bombs

Well with the way the pitching market has gone I can hardly fault the Jays for waiting for some value. Look at the stupidity in the Mott and Anderson contracts. The reliever market is way overpriced and waiting it out is about all AA can do. Sure I would have liked to grab a Gregerson or Neshek but every team has a budget and the Jay,s budget is pretty darn good. Every teams fans scream for more payroll to be added even the Yankee fans. Jays have the added burden of having to deal with a canadian dollar costing 1.16 today. Yes I have read here about hedging but it still seems to me the Jays will have to spend 10 or so percent more. Two months left for AA to find some pitching that has value .

Love that tweet. LMAO

Gulp!

Rumor is the Indians offered 3 mil and thought that was in the ball park Is the 10 mil all incentive based ?

I want a starter for Christmas. Get it done Alex

Forgot about that good point. Texas has no state tax

3 year deal with option. 23 million One more option gone not that I thought the Jays would do this

I suspect 40 year old bodies will break down more often than 25 year olds. More to a pitcher body than just the arm. Dickey is supposed to keep himself in great shape but he is still 40

He will do a JJ and go to an NL pitchers park to rebuild value on an incentive laden deal.

Looks like the Jays were right on the market and his agents were not. The Jays struck early and moved on . I'm still hopeing the Jays can sign a 5th starter. Estrada has some value just not in the AL East,s small parks. SD seems a fit. I would do a deal with them for one of their starters.
