Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Pt V: Spring(er) has Sprung: Jays sign OF George Springer (6y/$150m)

[TheBeastCoast]

how....

How does it come out we signed him, then confirmed by several of the reputable sources.....

.....and then, within 4 hours, he re-signs in Houston

Hazel Mae jumped the gun and then the more reputable people just jumped on board and followed her I guess.

 

[theaub]

oh look the condescending replies. He probably knows more people inside the Jays org than your clown ass does.

As someone who basically posted this exact thing last night, its still 100% open season when you're wrong.

No he clearly doesn't.
You also said we are getting nobody. How did that work out?

16 per is a taaaad heavy for Brantley if that is what he signed to the Astros for.

 

[BlueForever75]

Im still being told the Brantley is not a done deal.

Not sure where they are getting this from.

Maybe we are doing more?

Maybe the team was not sold on the medical history?

Who knows.

You said it was a done deal to the Jays a month ago.

 

[Marshy]

Maybe Brantley's agent is the leak and now the Jays are going to get a chance to go to 17M

 

[LeafChief]

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed @BlueForever75

 

[shaner8989]

Hazel Mae better be fired and banned from ever reporting again

Thats disgraceful. What a complete moron.

Sorry just told the Jays pulled the 3rd year off the table. Was originally a 3 year 45 million deal. They dropped a year off, and Houston upped their initial 2yr-29 million deal with their current 2yr-32 million.

 

[BAM]

Hazel Mae better be fired and banned from ever reporting again

Thats disgraceful. What a complete moron.

...

You don't even know what transpired, no need for that.

 

[habamillions]

No big deal. Use the money and spend it on starting pitching. Thats where they really need the help. Brantley was just a luxury. Not a need

 

[Cor]

I mean, I can understand Hazel being wrong.

You would think the reputable ones whose jobs surround breaking news like this..... would have checked with their sources.

Just give it up man, you dont know any more than the rest of us

 

[BAM]

Well firing Roark and Grichuk into the sun should still be a priority for the Jays.

 

[thehockeysong]

Huh. That IS crazy. Almost starting to sound like it wasn't a done deal a month ago. More at 5.

 

[theaub]

lmao

 

[BAM]

LMFAO

 

[Nineteen67]

Yes. Improving your team is improving your team whether that is offense or pitching.

Yes, but to make a difference in the standings won’t they need to add starting pitching?

 

[shaner8989]

...

You don't even know what transpired, no need for that.

Need for what? She's moron and said the jays have an agreement with Brantley on a 3 year deal. Thats disgusting and she failed at her job miserably.

You are desperately saving yourself. You were wrong. Just admit it.

 

[BlueForever75]

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed @BlueForever75

Sorry guys. But I can confirm that Hazel and I had the same source. The deal was actually in place.

If you know Hazel Mae she has a lot of sources in the baseball circles. With the Jays she is the one person that is in the know.

Something went array not sure what. But the Jays changed their minds on 3yrs to 2yrs. For once this wasnt the player that picked someone else.
