Blue Jays Discussion: The official Danny Jackson Appreciation Society

[TheBeastCoast]

I always used to rake with DeJong in the Show.

 

[LaP]

I wonder how many fans will miss Jordan Luplow

 

[Discoverer]

With Luplow being DFA'd, Hatch seems like the only DFA candidate left on the 40-man right now. They still need to make room to activate Ryu today and Green soon.

I think we'll see a couple guys off the 40-man moved out in any other deals today.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Is that it?

Good deal for the Jays. Just hope it means the news isnt bad on Bo.

I am thinking that too. Likely some younger guys and maybe even Biggio or Espinal

Reports out of the 416 have claimed Johnny Giunta is sobbing on the subway. Tune in for more updates.

Paul DeJong

Good fielder : check
Hits LH pitching : check
Has some pop in his bat : check
Gave up pretty much nothing : check

I'm happy with this move. Though as others have said. I hope Bo is not out long term.

 

[canucksfan]

I think if Bo was out long term they likely would have targeted Anderson?

 

[Bjindaho]

IMO, Dejong at that price means that Espinal could be moved to fill another gap (swap out the backup SS)

Depending on the severity of Bichette's injury, of course.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

A defensive SS for peanuts? We'll take it.

Any offense would be a bonus, although I'm expecting next to nothing, even vs LHP (riding a high BABIP in limited PA against them this year)

 

[MS]

I'm still baffled as to why Luplow was even up here rather than seeing what they have in Davis Schneider or sticking with a guy who looked really impressive in Ernie Clement.

Anyhow, good riddance.

 

[Vector]

It's fun if to combine all three trades.

To Blue Jays:
Genesis Cabrera (RP)
Jordan Hicks (RP)
Paul DeJong (SS)
Cash

To Cardinals:
Sammy Hernandez (C)
Adam Kloffenstein (SP)
Sem Robberse (SP)
Matt Svanson (RP)

Don’t think they can afford to take a chance on him figuring out how to hit again down the stretch. Plus less money owed to DeJong.

Also DeJong’s BB profile (flyballs, more barrels) is certainly more attractive than having another slap groundballer.

 

[red devil]

Let's hope Heyman is correct about Bo

Yeah Anderson is killing worms at an insane rate this year while being an average runner. Maybe that HR on Saturday will spark things for him (ie, start lifting the ball more), but it just doesn't seem like his lower body is at full strength

Verlander back to the Astros

I swear to god, Jonathan. If you play with my emotions with faulty info. You will be my sworn enemy for life.

 

[Cleetus]

Verlander to the Astros

 

[canucksfan]

Surprised the O's haven't done much

 

[rojac]

Surprised the O's haven't done much

They're talking about that right now on the FAN 590. It seems their GM views 6 years of control for a young player to be worth more than a couple of years than a veteran. At least according to the Os reporter from the Baltimore Sun that they were talking to.

 

[TMLeafer]

Welp that Mets experiment failed.

 

[Vector]

Simply amazing how quickly this crashed and burned.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Verlander back to the Astros

Good. Don’t have to worry about that unless on the off chance Jays match up with them in the playoffs somewhere. Houston will win the West division. Much worse if he went to the Orioles.
