Blue Jays Discussion: post-deadline, back-at-home edition

[phillipmike]

Yeah, I'm still on team "DFA Valera and give Smith his roster spot", but this is probably a short-term utility spot, so no sense removing someone from the 40-man just yet.

I just realized the AAA season runs all the way through to the end of the MLB season this year instead of ending in early September - makes sense since they got started a month late. But that kinda sucks because I can see them leaving a guy like Smith in AAA for the stretch run and playoffs instead of giving him the MLB shot he deserves. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Yeah its unfortunate he isnt getting a shot. Perhaps its the 40 man issue, or they see something we dont or they just dont believe he is ready or an MLB player, no one knows. Or maybe they just dont want to add him to the 40 man yet, maybe there is a trade they were discussing and they would like to revisit it in the offseason. Who knows?

But to me he deserves a shot over Valera. At Lopez is better if it is Valera who he is replacing.

Springer to the DL.

Yep, knee sprain. f***. 10-day DL, but likely more.

 

[Puckstuff]

Yep, knee sprain. f***. 10-day DL, but likely more.

Thought it was an ankle sprain. Knee sprain now? Doesn't sound very good.

 

[TGB]

I wonder why they didn't call up Palacios? I like Lopez but Palacios has some major league experience.

Oh, and guys, if you hate the YouTube commentary so much, MUTE IT and then turn on the RADIO for their commentary. That's what I did.

If we want any chance of a WC we need to on a big run. 4 GB

 

[Suntouchable13]

f***ing upsetting, this whole Springer situation, man.

 

[PiIsExactlyThree]

This team sucks. Bring back the Expos. The city of Toronto is cursed.

 

[trellaine201]

We can still make trades right? Just have to clear waivers? Or this year is different?

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Always concerning when a guy lands like that, where it’s not just the ankle that looks wrecked, but the knee looks like it wretches too.

Not this year unfortunately.

You can trade players who aren’t on the 40 man roster.

Which is interesting. Wonder if that’s why they are keep Smith off. Maybe we can trade him for another good prospect they like not on the 40 man.

 

[Cloned]

f***ing upsetting, this whole Springer Montoyo situation, man.

Fixed.

 

[trellaine201]

Mitch Moreland pitching and looks good.

The deadlines were different this year? I remember there use be two deadlines but i guess due to covid there was only one? Teams use to quietly put high salaried players on waivers. If there were no claims they could trade them? Something like that

You are right. That was the process prior to last year, process change last year and this year.

 

[aingefan]

Welp, Riley Adams.

And I want a Carter Kieboom on my baseball team everyday, abundant twice on Sundays.

 

[stickty111]

 

[phillipmike]

Well there we go. Bo was pulled from the game. Probably going to the IL

Horrible timing for two significant injuries, but at least there’s the excitement that comes with new exciting players.

 

[Discoverer]

Montoyo said it's not related, but I guess we'll see.

I'll guess Dolis DFA, Lopez optioned back down, Smith and Mayza come up.

 

[Bjindaho]

In a perfect world, it is DFA Valera.

Then we run with Smith at 3B for now.

 

[Discoverer]

I would love that, yeah.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I would love that, yeah.

Really? Valera has been pretty good for us, no?

 

[Discoverer]

Really? Valera has been pretty good for us, no?

He had a few good games last week, but he's been mostly bad. I can kinda see what they like about him, but he's also probably not very good at all.
