Non tendered woodruff too. Clearing out some money

Can someone rename this thread? something like Offseason Discussion. or something appropriate. kinda dumb to still be as it is, given thats where the Jays discussion seems to have settled after the season.

 

[dredeye]

Just read something saying kikuchi and Ohtani are having dinner at a fancy restaurant in Toronto.

 

[phillipmike]

Kevin Smith and Snead are both free agents. Logue was claimed off waivers.

All Oakland has left is Hoglund. And the Jays had 2 years of Chapman and will likely get a 2nd round pick who may be as valuable as Hoglund

Let's get wild like when the Kawhi sweepstakes was going on.

Ideally you want both sides of the deal to do well. If you have lopsided deals, it will tarnish your image around the league.

[as Pure as Evil]

funny, the baseball media

heres a notion. this team was built around control and sustainability.
so yeah lets jettison a 25 year old, x all star pitcher who's worth pennies on the dollar comparatively to what he was worth a year prior. not to mention still a controlled asset

pertaining to the jays most media outlets are out to lunch for sources its the guys on twitter that have been gold the last few years.

this team has surprised and surpassed most peoples expectations every off season since the kids came up

so ill sit back and wait till January before i start making a assessment

 

[landy92mack29]

no duh they're open to moving him....for the right price not for a discount. Most likely scenario is he fights for the 5th spot in spring training and if he puts in the work he'll most likely get it. Only way he gets moved is if he asks out or his attitude is so bad Jays cut ties. No one is truly untouchable on this team though for me I'd be locking Bichette up long term as quickly as possible and close to untouchable.

To me you don’t risk tarnishing anything. An experienced GM on the other side had free will to agree to the trade. How it pans out isn’t a concern of ours.

We have made a tonne of trades with the A’s in the past that have been clear wins for the Jays and it hasn’t stopped;

Ted Lilly
Eric Hinske
Josh Donaldson
Maybe Matt Chapman

Even for AA after the Donaldson deal, he made two major trades with Oakland that looks like losses for them early on;

Matt Olsen
Sean Murphy

A good GM is always going to take the best deal in front of them unless you are division rivals.

 

[trellaine201]

Everyone is available for the right price.

[Dr.Funk]

I'll pass on that one

 

[jetsforever]

Donaldson gave an interview saying he wants to play one more year and would be interested in Toronto.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

This is when I find out that Nola was actually originally drafted by the Blue Jays in the 22nd round as an 18 year old. But opted not to sign.

 

[Eyedea]

To be honest I'm not completely opposed to bringing JD as a stopgap. I think you can still eke out some value a la Belt. Worst case scenario he becomes a bench bat LHP masher or a 60-day ILer. I'd rather experiment with him until one of the 3B prospects is ready than pay up for Chapman/Candelario.

 

[Eyedea]

Two interesting buy-low options for me would be Austin Meadows and Spencer Turnbull. If Meadows is ready to return he can slot in perfectly at LF. Though I'd imagine he might be thinking something closer to home like the Braves or a reunion with the Rays.

With Turnbull he gets to compete for the #5 and utilize the pitching lab. If the Jays do move on from Manoah then Turnbull would become the clear favourite for the final rotation spot and get to build that value back up on a contending team. He'd probably prefer a more guaranteed roster spot but that could come with a developmental risk too.
