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

[Kessley Snipes*]

TSN radio said it was D'Arnaud and Syndergaard

 

[Ruski]

someone confirm the non-elite prospects already!!!

I would love to see AA grab a high-risk, high-reward type prospect. Not familiar with Mets prospects, so cant speculate if one even exists hehe

 

[p.l.f.]

AA is real quiet

 

[topched]

TSN radio said it was D'Arnaud and Syndergaard

Everyone is basing their report off Andy Martinos (mets beat writer) reported deal.

It may be true, but I don't think we've had anyone else confirm 100% the details of the trade.

 

[Future]

Suck it Farrell.

I can just see JPA now...

 

[King Mapes]

2 years, 25 mill is reasonable. Good deal.

still need a #5 hitter

Lansing 3 is that like a coupon? Trade 3 for 1 WS?

You've got one too many players there. It can either be a 3-man bench and an 8-man bullpen, or a 4-man bench and a 7 man bullpen, not both, unfortunately.

Lawrie

Lawrie

JA Happ just became the best Swingman in the entire MLB.

Honestly, take Oliver out and I'm still pretty happy with that bullpen.

A 3-man bench is not a good idea.

I bet Marlins' fans made those kind of pictures last season.

Maybe hold off on that.

Cooper won't be on the bench as it makes no sense to have a 1B/DH unless you platoon him with someone but Jays can't. I am guessing we get another infielder.

But rest looks right. Pretty deep and balanced team.

Guessing Happ starts out in the minors unless Oliver retires or they decide to send Delabar down... or if somebody gets injured out of ST.

Good point, although I don't believe in jinxing, and I think the hype will be there regardless. Might as well embrace the feeling while it lasts (You know, if we spectacularly bomb this season)

 

[Cage1080]

Is Nick Swisher a possibility for us in any way?

I really don't understand these comparisons. They sucked, they signed Reyes, Beurhle and Bell and that's similar to what the Jays did how?

I imagine we'll get another power hitter...maybe a 3B who can play the odd spot corner outfield start. We got two good pinch runners in Davis and Bonifacio, but neither has any sort of decent pinch hit bats.

I also doubt we go into the season with any of Gose/Sierra/Cooper on the bench.

YEah I don't believe in jinxing either, just saying those are the kind of pics that someone pulls up in a year after we bomb and makes us all look dumb .

why not?
i mean if we're going for it why not

Happ won't start in the minors. We needed a long relief man before Dickey, now Happ is that long relief man.
