Blue Jays Discussion: The trade deadline approaches (Tue, Aug 2 at 6pm ET/3pm PT) and the market is taking shape

[TimeZone]

Stripling 2.0

Every team around their vicinity improved significantly more than the Jays today.

& they just flipped Frasso lol

 

[Emerica]

That sucks

Ooof..

 

[Suntouchable13]

Think about it, this is basically another addition to the bullpen because in the playoffs you don't need 4 starters.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

everyone thought Williams was going to be the next dodger all star after the stripling trade. lets just trust the process and respect the due diligence the front office does

 

[Cloned]

Time’s up. Hopefully we squeezed another deal in.

 

[ER89]

Bleh

 

[Blitzkrug]

Still time for a deal to push through but I'm pretty underwhelmed by Shatkins dealings today.

White's numbers don't scream needle mover to me

 

[Vector]

 

[On-the-Fly]

Woof.

Not that we are looking to give back no value, but we do seem to have a good track record of selling high on guys.

 

[GreytWun]

Underwhelming deadline

White is okay but giving up Frasso is very questionable.
Management has some explaining to do. This type of thing can cause the team to fall down.

I dont think they are supposed to be, we just need a 5th SP who doesnt get lit up and we should be in good shape.

Considering the prices being paid, I'm happy with the moves the Jays made today.

Did I want more? Yes. But some of these prices are insane.

Everyone put your phones down

White has pitched well in the majors, Frasso hasn’t done squat, seems like a good deal to me

[ChuckWoods]

Some steep prices paid today from other teams.

The realist in my likes what Shatkins did today, the fantasy and dreamer side is disappointed we didnt see a bat or starter brought in.
But we did bring in 3 nice arms that can help us along the way, significantly bolstering our depth in that department which was our #1 requirement IMO.

Not disappointed at all what went out vs what came in. Control on everyone and established arms vs “question marks”.

Indeed, for those who are upset we traded Frasso for a legitimate MLB SP with 5 years of control, imagine paying the prices teams did today for Mahle or Syndergaard?

[stickty111]

Yup can't blame the players for being upset assuming they are. Don't be surprised if the team declines last 2 months

 

[Canada4Gold]

When I made my under the radar guess yesterday it was more term guys than rentals. Pop and White are exactly that. Even Bass has the extra year. Kind of annoyed to give up Frasso though

 

[GoonieFace]

Whit Merrifield

 

[Emerica]

Merrifield to Blue jays
