I could see Alonso, but not Bregman happening. Profar would be fine positionally, but I agree it's not ideal. Him and Santander would split time between LF and DH. I guess it blocks Wagner a bit, but so would Alonso. -
How big is that second bat? Is Profar the line?

I read this in Ross Atkins voice and can confirm it sounds exactly like what he's going to say about this horrible trade.
-
Can you imagine being in the depths of trying to lure in a franchise altering player and deciding to spend time and resources to acquire Myles Straw in the midst of it because you thought he'd fill an important role in your bench for the upcoming season? That would be f*cking insane. I would guess he was trying to block LA somehow, or, he didn't understand that he could wait until it's official you got him until you had the internation $$$ in hand. That would be really embarrassing and possibly the last straw (pun intended).

Generally agree with that summary. Spot on. Then throw the 2015 season, which started slow and was generally frustrating and disappointing as it felt like they were better than their record suggested - and then we made some aggressive moves to add talent and everything clicks and were left with one of the most incredible seasons in Blue Jays history - albeit one that came up short in extremely frustrating fashion.

I don't want to try and compete this year if it means we hold onto Bo and Vlad (and ever other valuable player on the team). That will just cripple the future even longer. Bo and Vlad are goners. Sell, sell, sell

I'm still good with them gambling. This team needed to take a big risk. Can't play it safe given the position we're in. Signing Tony Taters and Moncada isn't going to take this team anywhere anyway.

AJ Minter signs two-year deal worth $22M with Mets
Brownie19 replied to jaysblue's topic in Other Baseball
I think Fangraphs has him at 1 yr/$6M, but others may have guessed higher. Now LeClerc for $10M This Hoffman deal looks like great value given what Minter, LeClerc and Kittredge signed for. -
What a f*cking joke.
-
This has to que the rebuild. We can't be paying Straw $5M when we have like 3 guys making the minimum who are better and need a shot. I applaud the effort to go all the way on Sakaki, but it's over. Pivot and rebuild.
-
Please God no. Its over Ross. Resign and start the rebuild.
-
Sure does. Between taxes and agent fees, that's what is left. Seems about right if you ask me.
-
I heard he needed a poop knife.

AJ Minter signs two-year deal worth $22M with Mets
Brownie19 replied to jaysblue's topic in Other Baseball
That's about double what I expected Minter to get. I mean he's a stud when healthy, but I thought he'd come cheaper. -
The plan very well may be to rebuild if they don't land Roki.
-
Good. F*ck that guy. Get him out of here.
-
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I suspect if we don't land Sasaki, then this team is going nowhere anyway - whether we employ Myles Straw or not. This team 100% needs to "go for it" and not p*ssy out like SD seemingly did.
-
Disagree. Loperfido, Clase, Berroa are all available and are better than Straw. This isn't Ross securing the depth piece we need to round out the bench. This is all about international bonus money.
-
This .gif is certainly getting a workout these days!
-
To be fair - this is probably the level of risk that Atkins needs to take to right this ship and change the direction of this franchise. If it fails, we're probably going to suck whether we have Myles Straw or not.
-
There is an INSANE amount of rumors and speculations surrounding the Blue Jays right now. I was trying to explain it all to my 9 year old yesterday and it's crazy. There should 100% be a documentary to dive into all the different possibilities in that are currently being considered right now. I suspect it's very complex and interesting. If this is Ross's last year in Toronto (which it probably is), then nobody is going to be able to suggest he just sat on his thumbs and didn't try to make sh*t happen.
-
You need to at least wait to see how much of the salary that Cleveland is covering and who the PTBNL actually is. And who they use the international bonus pool money on...just hang tight man! EDIT - $3.75M doesn't seem like enough - is that total, or per year? F*ck me Ross - you better pull this one off. Nobody wants Myles Straw.
-
I've been waiting for the right time to use it. It seemed appropriate. It feels like we're cautiously hyping ourselves up for this - only for what we all expected to happen from Day 1, to actually happen. Like hitting ourselves in the nuts.
