Blue Jays Discussion: TOR Acquires Francisco Liriano, Scott Feldman, Mike Bolsinger

[Longshot]

Anybody watching MLB Network?

Who is the dude (they call him "Mad Dog") ripping Lucroy for turning down a deal to Cleveland?

 

[Paladin2799]

I didn't include donaldson because I felt his price would be so high that he should go without mention, was more referencing the kids.

That being said, I truely believe that no one is truely "untouchable" and if someone gave an unreal package, that you would make the move no matter who they are.

 

[Dr.Funk]

They gave up Bickford for Smith eh?

Steeeep.

And Andrew Susac.


That's crazy!

Mad Dog Russo. That's his schtick. He's a radio personality on SiriusXM - has his own channel.

Scenario.

You're Atkins. You're sitting in the office, waiting for calls to be returned.

Cashman calls and says: "You interested in McCann? I want a prospect and you to take on his contract."

What do you say?

 

[Cor]

I would move Stroman in the right deal.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Osuna, Sanchez, Stroman are really the only true untouchables for me.

Donaldson

Mad Dog Russo. That's his schtick. He's a radio personality on SiriusXM - has his own channel.

I like that he's saying something.

Rather than: "Well, that's his right with no-trade protection."

 

[Paladin2799]

I would move Stroman in the right deal.

I'm so so hesitant to move stroman. I think its very much a "what have you done for me recently" type panic move.

If hes the centerpiece for a legit ace with control, sure im listening.

Stroman was an unreal pitcher before and after his injury, looking very much like a legitimate true #1.

I would much rather have him work out his struggles and return to form.

I hang up.

Don't need no 17M backup

What do you say?

Depends on the prospect. But assuming it's low cost I say yes and I flip him.

I mean, that's the only type of deal he would realistically be moved in. A deal for a legit ace.

 

[Longshot]

I would move Stroman in the right deal.

Really? A young, controllable starter with ace-like potential?

It would have to be the ultimate deal.

I'm being serious, I'm having trouble envisioning a deal in which I would part with Stroman.

Scenario.

You're Atkins. You're sitting in the office, waiting for calls to be returned.

Cashman calls and says: "You interested in McCann? I want a prospect and you to take on his contract."

What do you say?

I say "Russell Martin" and then hang up.

 

[Longshot]

I hang up.

Don't need no 17M backup

How many more years does he have left?

 

[Cor]

How many more years does he have left?

He's signed thru 2019

 

[ShaneFalco]

Geez CLE

 

[Longshot]

He's signed thru 2019

Ouch.

I'm loving the McCann answers guys.

I would say:

"Okay, but you take Dickey and we get Eovaldi back."

 

[Club]

Donaldson

Tulo...kinda

 

[hockeywiz542]

 

[Paladin2799]

Tulo...kinda

Tulo is expensive.

I'd move him just to get the 20m contract off the books.

I wouldnt firesale him, but if a reasonable offer came in, im not against moving him.

 

[hockeywiz542]

 

[Gabriel426]

Is Hellickson really better than Hutch?

 

[trellaine201]

Beltron to Texas close.

 

[TF97]

Little lull in the action.

Tell me what would trade words would make you scream in pain today.

TV: "The Blue Jays have agreed to trade Roberto Osuna...."

Me: "AARRRRRRHGHHHHH!!!!!"

"The Blue Jays have acquired left handed pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes from the Miami Marlins"
