Blue Jays Discussion: Blue Jays acquire TROY TULOWITZKI... did I mention his idol is Derek Jeter?

[TheTotalPackage]

The ****ing cardinals just signed a 15 year 1 billion dollar TV deal. This is what sucks about being owned by rogers.

US$67 million a year flowing in just from a TV deal. Geezus.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

After seeing that Cole Hamels deal, makes me wish we had got more for Roy Halladay back in 2009. Travis d’Arnaud was a big piece and Michael Taylor in a round-about way turned into Devon Travis (via Brett Wallace and then Anthony Gose). But 6 prospects for Hamels is a nice deal for the Phillies.

Three top 100 prospects was an appropriate amount. If you wish they reached their potential, then that's a different story.

 

[BlueForever]

D'Arnaud was actually the throw-in at the time. Drabek was the big piece, he was a top 20 prospect.

I'd say the 3 prospects we got for Roy were just as valuable at the time as the package Philly got for Hamels.

If this is any proof as many other deals, prospects mean nothing then and the Jays should be acquiring what ever they can because prospects hold no guarantee. Drabek is useless, D'Arnaud at best will claim presidency of the DL, and Michael Taylor well he netted us Travis so jury is out on that one.

At the time we got a haul.. Something like the Phillies #2,#3,#4 prospects with two of them being top 30

 

[Swervin81]

A second TJ took out Drabek's career before he really had a chance to fix up those command issues.

 

[Greek_physique]

I wonder if we could acquire D.Storen from Washington.

Seems like he's extremely pissed off about them acquiring Pap.

Yep. Although I disagree on Taylor, that man is a straight up bust. The fact that 3 trades later we have Travis to show for him is a credit to AA.

Hes a good closer. I'm in.

sources: blue Jays are making a major push for david price

 

[Longshot]

Morosi just tweeted the Jays offer is: Norris, Alford and Boyd and that might be enough to get it done.

Edit: Sorry, he didn't say that was the offer he said "an offer of .... may be enough." I mis-read the initial part. I thought he said: "The offer of..." When it was: "An offer of..."

 

[Greek_physique]

Imagine we get both Gallardo and Price

 

[Stats01]

on Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 3m3 minutes ago
A #BlueJays offer of LHP Daniel Norris, LHP Matt Boyd, and CF Anthony Alford may be enough to get David Price from #Tigers.

 

[TootooTrain]

Agree to an extension Price. Do it. (i know it will never happen)

 

[Kurtz]

Morosi just tweeted the Jays offer is: Norris, Alford and Boyd and that might be enough to get it done.

Hah. That's the package I proposed for Sonny Gray.

If we're giving that up, we better have an extension ready for Price. Otherwise, that's our #1 and #2/3 prospect for as little as 12 Price starts.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 50s51 seconds ago
Executive involved in bidding for Price believes #BlueJays may indeed be close to landing him. “Not going to go on much longer,” he said.

Hooollllllliiiiieeeee

 

[Longshot]

Rosenthal just said the Jays are closing in and the Price thing isn't going to go on much longer...

 

[Mitchy]

That's a ****ing massive cost. Unless he agress to an extension, I don't think it's worth it.

This.

 

[Mitchy]

Get the popcorn out boys.

 

[Swervin81]

Agreed.

 

[SDig14]

That package is a big overpay without an extension.

 

[Greek_physique]

That's a ****ing massive cost. Unless he agress to an extension, I don't think it's worth it.

If Mark B. and Dickey leave next year...there's your money for him.

 

[Radiohead]

C'mon LA, offer Urias and Wood.

 

[Woodman19]

For that "Price" he better come with an extension.

 

[Longshot]

NESN reports the Jays are "strong favourites" to land Price.
