Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Madness the 13th: Report - Dickey extended, trade just pending physicals

[Giuseppe Sallo]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Newbi]

Some rumors floating around had Sanchez in there as-well. I'm praying this isn't true.

wtf scrap the trade NOW if that's true

 

[Sokil]

I think 20M/yr gets Johnson pretty easily. If I'm guessing, if he has a really good year, or we sign him before the start of the season, he probably end up in the 17-18M level, so I don't think we'll be much higher than $125 if we sign him and replace the other $12M we'll be losing with lower costs (Lind, Davis, Janssen and Oliver are the majority of that 12M, and Lind and Janssen both have 2014 options for lower money). I guess the variable is our arb FAs (Bonifacio, Happ, Rasmus, Cecil, Arencibia and Lawrie), but I don't think those'll be huge numbers at least for 14 & 15.

I imagine the salary number for this year won't be much higher for the next two years after even with a decently large contract for Johnson.

I totally forgot to factor in which contracts were backloaded, so that also settles the difference.

Someone post the entire lineup with pictures

 

[BigFatCat999]

Still, look at the rotation. Pretty sick. Win NOW!

2012 Division CHAMPS, your Toronto blue jayssssssss

Just the division?

 

[AndMat*]

No way 3 top prospects are in this trade TDA yes because Dickey came with a big extension.

Yeah I really doubt the Jays are going to trade their 3 top prospects for one guy.

 

[calcal798]

Yeah I really doubt the Jays are going to trade their 3 top prospects for one guy.

I really doubt the Mets will be expecting back all three. D'Arnaud sure, but not all three.

 

[AndMat*]

Yeah I really doubt the Jays are going to trade their 3 top prospects for one guy.

TDA is the main Center piece but the deal could be TDA and a pitching prospect not an elite prospect.

[AndMat*]

reported!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

Just the division?

We better hope this team is competitive but who knows. They are certainly better than Boston and New York.

 

[Sokil]

reported!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're kidding. Austin Powers is PG-13.

 

[91Kadri91*]

Just so everyone's clear, if the Jays won the division next year they'd be 2013 division champs, not 2012 division champs.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Cool, at least we got him signed to a reasonable deal.

 

[p.l.f.]

is it 2 yrs 25 million
or
is it 3 yrs 30 million ?

 

[Buckleys]

is it 2 yrs 25 million
or
is it 3 yrs 30 million ?

Both I suppose. The extension is 2 years, 25 million, but he is already signed this year at 5 million. So we have him for 3 years total and owe him 30 million.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Also, suck it John Farrell. How does it feel now?

 

[Canada4Gold]

is it 2 yrs 25 million
or
is it 3 yrs 30 million ?

The extension is 2/25, but he's signed for 5 this year so 3/30 total before he becomes a free agent

 

[Leafsdude7]

Just so everyone's clear, if the Jays won the division next year they'd be 2013 division champs, not 2012 division champs.

Nuh uh. This team is now so good, they're going to contort the fabric of space and time and win the 2012 division as well.

 

[p.l.f.]

i see

so he got a 2yr ext. 25 mil

 

[91Kadri91*]

Nuh uh. This team is now so good, they're going to contort the fabric of space and time and win the 2012 division as well.

You're right, how could I be so foolish. With R.A.'s Dickey, anything is now possible.

 

[weems]

Also, suck it John Farrell. How does it feel now?

This is for Farrell

 

[trellaine201]

I would guess a NTC of some sort.

 

[x15Kotkaniemi15x]

Win now and im all for it. LETS GO BOYS!
