John Bacon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 They just snagged Price. I cant copy paste here. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--jays-agree-to-trade-for-ace-david-price-164509117.html
Brettiop Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Well.... We'd better win this year because we just mortgaged the future for 2 months of baseball. Wow, no one can say your GM isn't afraid to make a deal, but at what long term cost? To me it is shocking how much he gave up for a rental player. Mortgaged the future? You mean Norris? Cant find the strike zone and struggling all season in AAA? Boyd? that's found money he was a non prospect until this year... Or maybe jairo labourt, the guy you just heard of this afternoon when the trade broke?....I'm impressed we gave up so little to be honest... We still have Osuna Stroman and Sanchez as possible rotation PCs for next year, the budget looks good to sign a free agent pitcher in the winter as well.
AKRISONER Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 i thought Osuna was gonna have to go to make a deal like this.
Brettiop Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Yupp, me too....Norris was a guy i figured was gone if we made any deals at all this season, getting arguably the best two players available and not giving up one of Osuna Stroman or sanchez is a great turn out for me.
lookinforwalleye Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 No excuses now eh Joey Batts....AA got the best offence along with the best starting pitcher available at the deadline.....time to put up or shut up!!!
netminder Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 time for a good long winning streak! All the pieces are in place now. There is no way in hell this team (even before the trades) was a .500 team. Hopefully these moves put them right where they belong.
FloatnFly Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 They will push Price for a long term deal, they have their whole team basically locked in for the next 3 years, Price would be a fool to want to go anywhere else. Future Starting rotation: Price, Stroman, Hutchison, Sanchez, Dickie?
misfish Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 So are they done now, or is there another block buster coming?
FloatnFly Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 If there is, they gotta dig deep. They currently have 3 catchers, if they can somehow package Navaro with Dickie or Hutchison for another top tier pitcher, they'd be sitting in pretty good spot
Acountdeleted Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Price will go to LA or the Yankees next year for something insane like $300 million.
fishing n autograph Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 They just snagged Mark Lowe from Seattle... That solidifies the bullpen
hutch4113 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Sounds like they may also have gotten Ben Revere (Phillies) - which gives them a lead off guy - and an outfielder.
fishing n autograph Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 And arguably one of the best hitters in baseball and they'll have him till 2018
AKRISONER Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Posted July 31, 2015 this team is stacked, no way around it.
Acountdeleted Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 This is the year. If they don't make the playoffs there are no excuses.
Acountdeleted Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 Also, the newspapers have been saying, and it's true, now is the time for the fans to step up. The skydome needs to be filled to cheer on the team. If the attendance this year can exceede 2.5 million, we might even try to resign Price.
Brettiop Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 How about that for a series VS. the top team in the AL...wow And now we start a series VS, the Twins that could end up with us jumping them into the wildcard spot.....and were running out DAVID PRICE for game 1.....Awesome!
Walleye72 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Okay it`s showtime kids. Excited to see David Price on "our" mound this afternoon. If we can win this series, we will have a jump on that wild card. Who knows, if it all comes together, and Hutch can pitch well, we might even give New York a run for their money in the division. And we still play them quite a lot of times this season.
Acountdeleted Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Gotta say, I'm a lot more excited after that series.
misfish Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Playing poker online there was a tigers fan that said Price was given away. I said thank you anyways.LOL
FloatnFly Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Good game today.....lost a big bench player in Valencia though. Claimed off waivers by Oakland
Walleye72 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Yeah, I don't know why they let Valencia go. And he ends up in Oakland. Yikes, I kind of feel bad for him. LOL
