[Morgs]

Just got a notification saying the Jays are close to trading Liriano.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

It recently came to my attention that the KC Royals are making progress on a deal for Fransisco Liriano.

Until hockeywiz comes in after we discuss it for hours I don't believe what I hear.

For Sparkman apparently

For Sparkman apparently

That was just Cotillo spitballing. I wouldn't mind him coming back but I think the Jays can get a little more than that.

Does make sense though, I'd be happy with that

Nah that was probably his sources, the same sources I had that told me yesterday it was gonna happen

I'd want more than Sparkman though I agree.

ugh this team is going to give me false hope again aren't they

With the next 6 against the Angels & White Sox - it's certainly possible.

travis needs time

devon travis continues making progress from the knee surgery he underwent june 13, and has been fielding ground balls at second base of late. he’s eligible to return from the 60-day disabled list aug. 5, but the blue jays expect he’ll need more time before he’s an option for the big-league roster.

"realistically, i wouldn’t guess at least until the end of august," gibbons said.

ryan goins and darwin barney are handling second base in the meantime, while recently-acquired utility player rob refsnyder’s expected to get a chance at the mlb level later this year.

Did my nightly Bichette check in and yep

2 AB's so far with 1 single and a walk

What hes doing this year is really insane

Average is almost back up to .400 again.

On the other hand, Conner Greene continues to have control problems. 2 innings 4 walks. 2ER and 0 hits.

He'll post the rumour link a week after the trade has taken place

2 for 2, with a walk. Shout out to the 2nd greatest prospect in Blue Jay history.

Vlad Jr.: 1 for 2, with a walk. The single a line drive to RF.

Bo's last hit he was down 0-2. Worked the count full and on the 12th pitch he got the hit.

 

[TootooTrain]

Martin on Little's ejection of him.

"So I turned around and I'm like, 'You know, you didn't have to throw him out right there.' Probably threw an F-bomb in there. Just one. Not multiple."

"But like, he took off his mask and he looked like he was ready to do something. And any time an umpire steps towards you and takes his mask off, it's never a good sign"

"It's kind of like he was asking for, I don't know, it's like he was instigating almost. I didn't feel like at that moment it was the proper call. I didn't feel like it was necessary. There was no drama at that moment. He kind of created the drama there. It's definitely frustrating when the umpires get in the way."

[canucksfan]

Warmoth hit his first homer as a Canadian.

 

[Del Preston]

Rays-Yanks are in extras on Sportsnet.

Martin on Little's ejection of him.

So another ump who wants to be the star of the show.

Part of the 2017 umpires handbook.

 

[one77]

It's crazy that we have Vlad and Bichette doing what they're doing at the same time. 1 player performing that well at such a young age is already rare, we have 2 of them.

In the next 2 years at the earliest:
Vlad, Bichette, Donaldson, Smoak, Morales, Martin, Pillar, Alford
Sanchez, Stroman, Happ, Osuna, Biagini, maybe SRF and Pearson?

Sign UFAs to fill in needs/holes.

You could be real good with that group
