Blue Jays Discussion: Trades for Troy Tulowitzki .. And some other guy named David Price

[Bernify]

No more excuses. We have everything we need to be a contender. If we re-sign Price, our window is 3 years. Buckle up, everyone. We need to win now.

 

[Mats13]

AA is going full ****** (in a good way)

 

[SpezDispenser]

Now Alford and Pompey for a holder and closer?

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Only move for the Jays to do IMO is send down Colabello and call-up Pompey.

Let's make some insane run now.

 

[RiceCooker]

Love it, Tulo and Price in the span of a couple of days....Jays are going for it !!

 

[Swervin81]

$32M come off the books from Dickey and Buehrle alone. The rest of the guys coming off will be able to cover the raises to our other salary escalating and arb eligible guys. We should have about $32-$35M to work with for Price. Can't see than not getting him to stay unless he hates the city.

Chris Archer to Blue Jays (E3000)

 

[Stats01]

still have Pompey, Alford, Pentecost...HAHA the last few days have been unreal

 

[KiwiPuck217]

This is a rather good deal, even if Price walks.
We have to go for it, might as well be all out, we can always replenish our farm system next year.

 

[p.l.f.]

Get the vet closer now

 

[KapG]

$20M of salary comes off the books at the end of the year with Buehrle

I'll believe it when I see it...


Happy Alford isn't gone

 

[Longshot]

Jays still have Stroman, Hutchinson and Sanchez as young starters/pitchers. It sucks that we lost our two top pitching prospects but for Tulo and Price I'm fine with it.

There is also an assumption that Osuna will be a starter in the future.

Chris Archer to Blue Jays (E3000)

I'd cry tears of joy for a week

 

[TF97]

I have a strong feeling this team is about to make a huge run

 

[Del Preston]

Holy smokes.

 

[Bruins4Ever]

So do we trade for a closer, or do we convert Sanchez?

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Now Alford and Pompey for a holder and closer?

i wouldn't mind that tbh. i thought alford was going in the price deal. i'd be okay to get a closer for him.

LF and another starter now?

 

[Canada4Gold]

So yeah, we have officially gutted the pitching part of the farm. Only really SRF and Harris(and he couldn't be moved) as notable names left.

Still lots of positional prospect left.

Really need to win this year or resign Price though. Preferably both.

 

[The Nemesis]

I like osuna and Sanchez but we have to get a proven closer now

You could trade cecil and **** like that

you're not going to trade "****" for a "proven closer"

They don't have the bullets left for a big, expensive closer unless you start looking at Alford or SRF or the good prospects teh team has left.

Anthopoulos also said he wasn't making trades with pieces off the roster.

 

[Radiohead]

Only move for the Jays to do IMO is send down Colabello and call-up Pompey.

We need some bullpen help. Another front of the line starter would be money as well. I don't trust Hutch in the rotation. At least not this year.

LMAO wow

I think that's Navarro for another BP arm or cash relief.

 

[TF97]

Price last pitched Tuesday, so it's likely he will get the nod on Sunday in place of Doubront.
