Calling @The Nemesis for a Reese joke.

Something about Sox off in a parking lot, maybe

Red Sox were so cheap they couldn't even afford to go into the Dollar Tree, they had to get their deals in the parking lot.

Arash is worth more

 

[as Pure as Evil]

how are these trash twitter feeds getting linked. no reason to give them a audience when all they do is link b.s

 

[TopChedder]

Not saying we need to make a move just to make one- but the team must be working on something.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Arash is worth more

Lol

 

[Dr.Funk]

Arash is worth more

He really isn't

 

[rojac]

So… JD Martinez just said how strange it is that before the trade for Vazquez went through that Vazquez went through hitters meetings. So he knows exactly how Boston will attack Astros hitters tonight. LOL!!! Bloom is an idiot

Does it matte? I think the Sox have decided that they’re selling at least some of their pending free agents. So, winning is probably less of a concern.

We need to bolster our pen and we could use a lhb. The Jays management needs to show they are willing at the very least to help this team out. We are doing well right now.... Key series this week!

Gotta be working on something. I would be stunned by tomorrow Atkins comes out and says the prices were too high. Not with a team 12 games over .500 and 3 games up on the 1st WC spot.

He really isn't

He's so bad, and he just takes playing time away from Hazel Mae, who's really good.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Didn't we already have Anthony Bass for free?

Hahaha. The best reply all day.

We did, yes.
Such is the world of relief pitching.
Get ‘em while they’re hot.

Is there the still the august deadline? TeaMs sometimes put their expensive players on waivers?

Trade Waivers & Aug. 31 'Deadline'

Definition

Before 2019, players could be traded following the Trade Deadline (prior to the 2022-2026 collective bargaining agreement, the Trade Deadline almost always fell on July 31 at 4 p.m. ET, but the Commissioner's Office now has the flexibility to set the Trade Deadline on a date between July 28 and Aug. 3) if they first cleared revocable trade waivers.

Although trades could still be completed after Aug. 31 as well, players acquired after that date were ineligible to be added to the postseason roster by their new teams. As a result, the last day in August was sometimes colloquially referred to as the "waiver Trade Deadline."

Under the old system, the player's original club had three options when a trade waiver claim was placed: It could either work out a standard trade with the claiming club (the two sides had 48 hours to agree to a deal), allow the player -- and all money remaining on his contract -- to go to the claiming club with no return or pull the player back off waivers. A player who was pulled back off waivers could be placed on trade waivers a second time, but at that point the waiver request became irrevocable. If a player passed through waivers unclaimed, he could then be traded to any club, free of restriction (though all 40-man-roster players in the trade had to clear waivers before being dealt).

As of 2019, players may still be placed and claimed on outright waivers after the Trade Deadline, but trades aren't permitted after that date. With regards to newly acquired players, the Aug. 31 postseason roster deadline remains in effect.

Soto just went dead centre on a 95 mph pitch from Scherzer. That was a bomb.

If they're taking Arash we might have to add.

 

[stickty111]

Arash is worth more

Not a chance. He is waiver calibre

If they're taking Arash we might have to add.

A major sweetner would need to be added from us.

 

[shaner8989]

Not sure how Arash still has a job. We would need to add majorly to get rid of him

 

[Cloned]

It’s only fitting now if Arash breaks a major Jays trade in the next 24 hours.

 

[Scotianhab]

I’m usually against trading prospects but I’d trade them now for the bats/pitching we need to go all the way. Our window is the next 3 seasons, we need to go all in this year and next.

What was he saying earlier? I see twitter mocking him as well.

 

[Woodman19]

Im not too worried about trading prospects either, I feel we are top notch now at developing players and since you can't hoard prospects indefinitely before you lose them to the Rule-5 you might as well trade them to round out the team if you arent planning on having them in prime spots in the next year or two. Its most important we coalesce as much talent around the current core we have so we can make the most out of this window.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Man, it'll be disappointing if Jays end up with nothing.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Major League Baseball teams have less than 24 hours to finalize their summer shopping. This year's MLB trade deadline will pass at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 2. After that point, teams will no longer be able to execute deals until the offseason.
