Blue Jays Discussion: 2024 Season (better title pending)

[trellaine201]

Richards had some tough outies lately.

 

[phillipmike]

Another lefty bat middle infield and another 2023 draftee. Jays are going to rule the world

 

[Woodman19]

Blair just said a rival executive said Shapiro and Click have had much bigger roles at this trade deadline than in past deadlines.

Says the Kikuchi deal reminds him of the Colon deal where Shapiro landed Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore and Brandon Phillips. Shapiro relied heavily on Tony LaCava regarding these prospects as he scouted them when with Montreal. Says Click has a similar role with the Jays as he drafted Loperfido and Wagner.

So basically Atkins is fired in all but name only.

Says with the renovations basically done, Shapiro has had a bigger role in baseball operations.

Makes sense, you aren't gonna let a GM you are about to fire make moves for the future.

 

[canucksfan]

Thought they would get a tad more for Richards but his recent outings have sucked.

 

[Emerica]

Vladdy’s Vladdy, but a top 10 farm system could give us anything!

It could even be a boat

Wow

 

[LaP]

Maybe even the Boat from Jaws who knows?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Fine with that. Wasn't expecting much. When he's pitching well Richards can be a handful, when he's off he gets lit up.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Any chance we give Hagen Danner a shot in the bullpen again? He's got great stuff and he's been solid in AAA.

Wow

Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems like just an ok return for Miami.

My thoughts is to trade all pen arms and have all high end AAA pen arms finish the season with Pop and if any do well, you have some for me so year with Romano, Swanson and Cabrera.

One last report for the best offers to come in the last hour?

Now we go to Shaner, on his thoughts on the trade.

"Glad Richards is gone, he's a bum"

I thought it was a big overpayment by the Padres at first glance but looking at it more Snelling has had issues this year and from the brief stuff I have read, Mazur is likely a bullpen arm.

Yeah, I just checked MLB Pipeline and they're super high on all of them - 55 FV on Snelling and 50 on Mazur.

Fangraphs isn't remotely as bullish - 40+ on each.

Reality is probably somewhere in between and it's a good but unspectacular trade for the Marlins.

"Glad Richards is gone, he's a bum"

He was actually really good but he’s been an absolute f***ing pile of shit for a month or so.

Now we go to Shaner, on his thoughts on the trade.

"Glad Richards is gone, he's a bum"

But also "Terrible trade, trash franchise!"

I look forward to your thoughts Shaner. It shows me no matter how mad I am, I can never be Shaner level mad

Now maybe i'm a nutcase, but Pittsburgh did pull Temarr Johnson from his minor league game earlier...

If we get Johnson, that's a reallllly nice trade.

I would trade trade Vlad if return is massive. A lot of teams have traded better stars and now great teams. Cleveland traded Lindor and now best team in baseball
