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

[SpezDispenser]

Jesse Chavez traded to the Dodgers.

We acquire Scott Feldman from the Astros

If Feldman has a pulse, then it's an upgrade.

Weird getting rid of relievers

 

[Longshot]

If it's Chavez for Feldman, doesn't change much. Feels like another deal is coming.

feldman to jays

 

[SpezDispenser]

Boo hoo...I love Reddick, I thought he would have been amazing here and a guy that could ease the blow when Bautista leaves.

Except he's a free agent and could leave at the same time...

 

[Woodman19]

Feldman is having a decent season so far.

 

[trellaine201]

Feldman, sure makes up for Sanchez to relief lol

 

[Bjindaho]

I get it. But, I thought that was a three-team deal. In other words, deal doesn't happen if Jays don't trade Napoli for Francisco?

But I could be wrong.

No, we traded VW for Napoli and Juan Rivera straight up, then traded Napoli for Francisco. We didn't save any money in the deal and there were no prospects involved (the team said that they though Napoli was surplus because of Lind at the time, but nearly every single poster on here questioned Francisco's ability to pitch in this division).

 

[King Mapes]

You can't honestly say 2014 is like 2016. common

Where did I say that? You said AA would not have waited to make moves and I proved that wrong.

 

[Longshot]

The Jays did "something" everybody happy now?

 

[Cor]

Mike Bolsinger for Jesse Chavez

 

[SpezDispenser]

Except he's a free agent and could leave at the same time...

Oh, I understood he was under contract another year, my mistake.

 

[TF97]

Let's hope that we didn't trade Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop for Feldman...

 

[PG Canuck]

Thank god Chavez is gone.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the details.

I remember a bit better now. I hated Juan Rivera. My nickname for him was: "Pop Up."

 

[zeke]

feldman is a clever pickup. Good reliever and servicable starter.

 

[sabresEH]

We gave up...

Francisco Cordero - We all know why he was involved, is now retired.
Ben Francisco - Another "useless" veteran piece, is also retired.
Asher Wojciechowski - Woj hasn't amounted to much yet and doesn't throw very hard. He also doesn't K many and lately has been walking over 4/9. No loss there.
David Rollins - He is a reliever for Seattle, doesn't appear that he will become anything significant, even though I am a fan of his.
Joe Musgrove - He is "the one that got away" out of this deal, currently 85th on MLB.com's "top 100 prospects" list.
Carlos Perez - He is currently the Angels backup catcher, he is good defensively but his bat is essentially non-existent.
Kevin Comer - Former starting prospect who is now a reliever for Houston's A+ team, could be an okay reliever long term.

Thanks man! I googled it but I like getting the info from you guys about them. Much appreciated.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Jays need one more starter

 

[one77]

Weird acquisitions so far

 

[trellaine201]

LOL strange Jays deals. Definitely not an improved team.

 

[Eyedea]

I like Bolsinger. Has options too.

 

[Woodman19]

Boslinger isn't great, but hes a AAA reliever with options and control so another possible arm in the pen mix.

 

[Bjindaho]

Weird acquisitions so far

The way I look at it is that we traded Chavez for a Wade Leblanc type (minor leaguer that can push Hutch for next in line to start) and Feldman can be what we were hoping for from Chavez.

 

[trellaine201]

Guess it's the best we could do. Prices to high. And didn't want to take on salary. God forbid.
