Best of seven would be a dog fight.Im convinced the Bisons could give the Rays a run for their money.
Dammit @The Nemesis ... We had one more Die Hard movie to go and you couldn't incorporate it into the title.
FOR SHAME.
DUNEDIN, Fla. – Chances are, the Toronto Blue Jays will add to their roster again before opening day.
They’ve addressed their most pressing needs, but they still have some money to spend and potential weaknesses worth addressing.
They’re expecting to make a move of some kind, according to GM Ross Atkins.
“It’s pretty likely,” Atkins said. “Is it 90? Probably 90 per cent.”
That leads to the question of where the Blue Jays would add. Throughout the off-season, Atkins has said the Blue Jays are looking to improve their big-league catching. On Tuesday, he changed his tone somewhat, and sounded more willing than before to rely on Russell Martin, Luke Maile and the catching prospects making their way through the upper minors.
“That position is less likely at this point, but we certainly won’t eliminate it,” Atkins said. “We do feel good about how Luke performed last year as a catcher, how well he handled the pitching staff, how we performed as a team when he was catching on a regular basis.”
That means the Blue Jays are less inclined to pursue catchers for the time being. The options on the free-agent relief market are more plentiful, and that’s “most likely” where the Blue Jays will add, according to Atkins.
The list of free agent relievers includes Trevor Cahill, Tyler Clippard, Seung-hwan Oh, Koji Uehara and Robbie Ross, among others. While Atkins didn’t offer a timetable for a deal, he did say that he’d prefer to add players sooner rather than later.
Rasmus back in the al east. To baltimore
Can we get Archer without giving up Vlad/Bo/Pearson?
Strange. Tampa signed Carlos Gomez

To a great value deal.
Barnes starts Saturday, so I imagine it doesn't mean too much.
Francisco Liriano remains a free agent. I'd like to see him back relieving full time.

Not sure if you're serious, but he did alright when he was here. I wouldn't mind him back
I wouldn't mind bringing back Liriano for lefty in bullpen with depth to start if need be.
