I think Osuna stands a better chance of being a long-term starter moving forward than Sanchez.

Agree, but my impression is the organization wants to give both an opportunity to start before making that kind of decision final.

For those who say the Jays can't resign Price. This is all about Rogers Communication opening up the fat wallet and understanding what they have here on there hands. They just acquired an ace who for the next 3-5 years will anchor a rotation and with Tulo, Donaldson, Martin, Travis among others now have retooled their window to win from this year to 3-5 down the road.

Rogers understand the Jays are not some tax write off and a place where you can hawks your bundles. There are real life fans wanting to see a winner and you have a good team now its about doing the Yankee way and spend to keep it together and provide the starve fans of Toronto a legit chance at a TITLE.

Ask Price for his "price" and say here ya go it is that simple.

Give David Price a blank check right now and tell him to fill it in

Agreed.

What is this I don't even...

He was being sarcastic.

EDIT: Welp, nevermind.

If I'm AA, I'm negotiating with his agent right now and telling him I want him to be the highest paid starter in the league and that I want him to retire a blue jay.

That's the only way to keep him. A guy that close to free agency, they need to offer him what he would get on the open market...which would be basically a dump truck full of money.

Rogers could probably afford it if I had stayed with them for broadband instead of switching to TekSavvy. Sorry guys.

If the Jays make a run now, and Stroman can back it back into the bullpen in mid to late September ... Hoboy.

IMO, this would remind me when K-Rod came up with the Angels and dominated everyone.

If our pitching with Price is legit; then Stroman in late innings would be deadly.

 

[Sokil]

It's going to come down to term. Can they afford the annual cost? Yes. Will they give him 8 years though?

If the Jays don't budge on their 5 year rule, or only wiggle up to 6, he's gone. Somebody will give him 8+ years.

well, Beeston is gone, right? so bye bye 5 year b.s.

LOL AA taking over the baseball world right now

dont worry, my internet cap overages should cover it

Anyone happy enough to tell me how good Price is?

Is he a top 10 pitcher in baseball? Top 5? Top 20?

There's no reason they can't sign Price if they want to and he's open to staying.

Just because they haven't signed guys like Price in recent years, doesn't mean they won't do it in this case.

Enjoy the moment people. No doubt, this was a big price to pay, but the Jays are a couple of games out of a playoff spot and have just acquired the best SS in baseball and one of the best starters (who has loads of AL East experience) in the world.

It's okay to be excited and let the business aspects play out at a later date.

 

[AkiBerg]

Jeff Blair just said on Sportsnet a NL exec also texted him saying AA isn't done yet. Same exec told Blair they were gonna do something spectacular AFTER Tulo trade.

In AA we trust, Kimbrel next

Is there a source saying when he's expected to be back!?

This year top 10, over the last 5 years, top 5

 

[Cousin Eddie]

The thing about this deal is I feel like AA has leverage.

We have up all of this for David Price... Give me the money to make it worth it

While that's true, David Price and his agent also have leverage on the Jays.
"You just gave up the farm for me. There's no way you're willing ot just lose me for nothing."

That's why rentals often get overpaid if they stick around.

 

[p.l.f.]

This is beautiful

 

[Mats13]

AA is playing a video game right now

 

[Greek_physique]

He tweets himself "See you in September".

So I'm guessing if everything is okay and no set backs, it could be then........unless the Jays shut him down.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Also, just to illustrate how good our drafting has been... Matt Boyd? He was a punt pick. Same with Graveman.

We basically turned Lawrie, 2nd round pick Norris, 1st round pick Hoffman, two punted picks (Boyd, Graveman), and four IFA's who cost nothing but money (Barreto, Castro, Labourt, Tinoco) into Donaldson, Tulo, and Price.

People shouldn't be worried about what we gave up....it's obvious this team can cultivate assets. I'd be more worried if we didn't generate good young assets in the first place....but we continue to pump them out.

Stroman himself has been saying for months he will be healthy by September.
