Bold prediction time!



Price will resign here!

 

[Cor]

Guys, just heard I got a qualifying offer!

Gonna reject it though.

I bet I will get all of the calls tomorrow.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Remember, mccown said the jays were going to get lester last year

 

[Muston Atthews]

Remember, mccown said the jays were going to get lester last year

He's also bitter about AA and Beeston leaving

 

[trellaine201]

Most shocking still has Rasmus getting a QO but apparently his stats aren't too bad?

 

[tp71]

Remember, mccown said the jays were going to get lester last year

Media people are wrong sometimes? Yay?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Who all got a QO ?

 

[Swervin81]

Bold prediction time!



Price will resign here!

He's so distraught over his playoff numbers, he's going to QUIT?!?!?!

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Bold prediction time!



Price will resign here!

I could believe it. We don't really have any other pending UFA's resigning other than him and Lowe.

 

[canadon]

Remember, mccown said the jays were going to get lester last year

He is confident now Price would not resign with the Jays...

Hope nobody think I've turned into hockeywiz here posting articles but here goes...

Toronto Blue Jays starter David Price will be a coveted commodity on the free agent market, but he might only have eyes for one team.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the 30-year-old lefty is interested in reuniting with former manager Joe Maddon and the Chicago Cubs. Price played under Maddon for parts of seven seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays and was the recepient of the 2012 Cy Young Award.

...

Rosenthal also reports that the Blue Jays have interest in Baltimore Orioles free agent first baseman Chris Davis.

Not sure if Rosenthal has actual info or is just guessing but I'd imagine he knows what he's talking about

MLBTR predicts Jays sign Jordan Zimmermann for 6/126.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/2015-16-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html

7. Jordan Zimmermann – Blue Jays. Six years, $126MM. Zimmermann could become the first Tommy John survivor to score a $100MM contract. He has a 3.13 ERA over 810 1/3 innings over the last four seasons, but slipped a bit in 2015 and doesn’t boast the strikeout rate of other top arms. Since Zimmermann won’t turn 30 until May, a six-year term is attainable. The Blue Jays need arms, and executive Dana Brown was the Nationals’ scouting director when Zimmermann was drafted in ’07. The Cubs, Giants, Diamondbacks, and Tigers are other good matches.

Only player in fact that they have pegged to go to the Jays (out of the top 50 listed). Price predicted to go to Cubs for 7/217, Chris Davis to Cards for 6/144, Samardzija to Giants for 5/80, Chen to Tigers for 5/80, Kazmir to O's for 4/52, Kennedy to Angels for 4/52, Iwakuma stays with the Mariners for 3/45, Anderson stays with the Dodgers for 3/39, and Estrada goes to the A's for 3/30.

Also I gotta say 6 years seems pretty rich for a guy that's already had TJ, but that also reduces the AAV to a fairly reasonable 21MM.

Lol you know what I meant

 

[Cor]

Adding Chris Davis would be insane lmao

Guess the goal is to just get 10 runs a game

 

[Fantomas]

Bob McCown does not know anything. It doesn't matter what he says about anything.

Why are people so excited about Chris Davis? He hit .196 in 2014. He can be great, but he can also be terrible.

 

[trellaine201]

Because the fans are in love with the HR ball. Killed us in the end.

 

[Eyedea]

Denard Span not receiving a qualifying offer is pretty big news.

 

[tp71]

Solid analysis.

 

[mikebel111*]

Or you know we want to add a top free agent if we cant get the other

But no I am sure your explaination is better!

 

[King Mapes]

Because the fans are in love with the HR ball. Killed us in the end.

Killed us in the end? When? Surely you aren't talking about this season.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Killed us in the end? When? Surely you aren't talking about this season.

yep, that HR Bautista hit to tie game 6 killed us in the end. Can't believe you didn't realize this by now

That seems like a pretty good deal for Kazmir no?

 

[Blitzkrug]

217 million for a guy pushing 30 according to MLB trade rumors? Jesus.

Zimmermann would be a solid fit too. In theory, he doesn't have to be the #1 guy since that's what Stroman should be.

Stroman/Zimmermann/Estrada/Dickey/Sanchez?

I think i would be ok with that. Kazmir would be acceptable too.
