Diaz is a good prospect but I don't value corner OF's quite as much as other positions.
May is interesting pitching prospect with middle of the rotation potential.
Errol Robinson is rather meh 23year old AA player. I doubt he turns into anything.
Okay but not great return. They failed to get a TOR arm or a high upside middle of the diamond prospect so I don't see how you can view it as anything better than okay.
Tacos: Is Diaz a good get for Baltimore? |
12:44 | Kiley McDaniel: Seems like about what they should’ve hoped for: a near-ready, fringe top 100 hitter with a solid 2nd piece (45 FV I’d guess) and a lottery ticket 3rd piece (40 FV with upside). There has been higher prices paid for rentals, but not amazingly higher. |
Machado and Harper will have no interest signing in Toronto. Even if the team was a World Series contender I wouldn't expect Toronto to be one of the desired locations unless they blew them away financially.Would you consider throwing a boatload of cash for a guy like Machado or Harper in the offseason given how young they are? A free agent splash to help supplement the new core.
True but Zach Greinke signed in Arizona, Cano signed with the Mariner's, Pujols with the Angels shows that stars will sign in other places provided the money is there. With the Jays having most of their big money contracts coming off the books in the next few years and being largely made of of their farm system, internal options, imo they could afford to offer a big time contract to a young star that would only be 26 when they reach free agency. If you give Machado or Harper an 8 year deal, that takes him to 34 which isn't bad at all,Machado and Harper will have no interest signing in Toronto. Even if the team was a World Series contender I wouldn't expect Toronto to be one of the desired locations unless they blew them away financially.
Donaldson and Happ are much more likely considering they have ties to the city and won't be seeking 250-300 million. I'd be quite happy to bring back a similar team we started this season with but with a few of the young prospects mixed in.
New core will be supplemented with smart trades/signings and proper player development. Keep those long term contracts reserved for Vlad, Bo, and others deemed worthy of being long term pieces.
If donaldson looked at the jays and went "im struggling and injured, sign me to a reasonable 3-4 year deal" i'd be all over it.Machado and Harper will have no interest signing in Toronto.

I don't know that I'd even consider 4 years for JD. Three is a stretch for me at this point.If donaldson looked at the jays and went "im struggling and injured, sign me to a reasonable 3-4 year deal" i'd be all over it.
It's desirable but the lore of big market American teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc is hard to beat.Why is Toronto not a desired location?
With Vlad number 1 great to have two Jays prospects in the top five in the league. Doubt that has happened before.
I think there’s at least a 50/50 chance Happ comes back in the off season. This is his last chance to chase the World Series though and we aren’t the right place in the next couple years for him to do itWonder if Happ would make a comeback in the off-season, presuming the high likelihood event that he gets dealt?
Pretty nice projected rotation if so.
So much has gone wrong in a half-season.
Looking forward to whatever deals can be made before the deadlines, and hoping some guys can rebound to lend more confidence leading into next year.
Also in the aftermath of the Machado sweepstakes, the Brewers are left looking to acquire an infield upgrade. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that they’re expected to explore trading for Twins second baseman Brian Dozier. With Minnesota all but out of the the AL Central race already and Dozier set to become a free agent at season’s end, he makes plenty of sense as a potential trade target for the Brewers, despite a down season so far. The Brewers are also expected to explore pitching upgrades, Rosenthal adds.
Solarte + Marco for Phillips, Torres-Costa, Supak

That does make a difference though. Forgot he got one already. With two small kids he may just want to stay settled for as long as he continues to pitchI know it's not the same because he was just breaking into the league and didn't make any appearances in the postseason, but Happ does have a ring.
Can see J.A. re-signing as well. Marco too, to be honest.
I can either, but I think both is unlikely. Stroman and Sanchez, obviously, then Borucki is lining up nicely for a rotation spot to open the season. I think a lot of it rests on what Reid-Foley does in his call-up (assuming it happens shortly after the deadline). If he does well, then you let him and Gaviglio battle for a spot between now and April with the loser starting the year in Buffalo.
Of course, this is just personal preference based on wanting to see the young guys get the rotation spots. Hell, it would be great to open the season with a Stroman/Sanchez/Happ/Borucki/Estrada rotation, Gaviglio as a long-man, Biagini into a more high-leverage spot, and Reid-Foley biding his time in Buffalo.
I don't know why I just wrote all that out since so much is likely to change between now and then... but there it is.

Critically, Duquette acknowledged that the team’s complete lack of a presence in Latin America has served as a roadblock to maintaining a competitive organization
