Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Madness the 10th: Melk Man Edition

[Future]

I will be so mad if we trade D'Arnaud. We better win a World Series if they do.

 

[weems]

Honestly there seems like way too many people saying a deal looks close for it not to happen but you never know.

I think at this point they have agreed to trade Dickey here but there maybe adding more to it.

 

[dredeye]

Come on MSN, there is much to discuss.

private chats hardly seem to fair

 

[Scion]

I wonder about the possibility of a third team being involved. The Mets really have nothing that valuable, while that third team could help out. A team like the Angels makes sense since they desperately need pitching.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about a potential Mike Trout swap to Toronto.

We private chat almost every time there is a major deal in place, or even a rumour. It's become a habit.

 

[dredeye]

well I guess these boards are gonna get real annoying again for a couple weeks if this trade does get bigger with many moving pieces. Likely, even if it stays smaller. Hopefully, the wjc will keep the annoyances to a minimum

A Dickey extension could be the hold-up. I mean, I seriously don't think Jays can pretty go all in now with Dickey and Johnson set to become FA and potentially have them walk next season. That would be a huge blow. If they are trading TDA or Gose, they gotta get Dickey signed first.

Haha so true. Ahh the MSN days..

 

[Woodman19]

Convenient way to chat while being able to use it through a web browser (logging into hotmail) lol

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

What would be the purpose of getting Niese? Wouldn't that give us 6 starters + Happ Lol...unless the real target is Niese and we flip Dickey to someone for something that AA's been coveting? 3-way deal??

 

[TootooTrain]

I miss ICQ.

Gose and D'Arnaud! better be Dickey and Wheeler

 

[theaub]

Another name to possibly look at is Bobby Parnell, just to add to the list of hard throwing righties out of the pen.

Although I don't see him being a guy that can push AA to move D'Arnaud...

Big power arm righty with good stuff and control. sounds like AA to me.

While the names in the trade are not finalized, outfielder Anthony Gose is likely to be included in the deal to New York. The Mets also are expected to acquire a catcher, either J.P. Arencibia or Travis d’Arnaud. The rebuilding Mets are said to prefer d’Arnaud because he would come at a lower salary with more years of control than Arencibia.

One source familiar with the talks said d’Arnaud was very much in play as of Friday night. In order to surrender such a coveted prospect, the Blue Jays have sought to expand the deal and involve more players than just Dickey, Gose and d’Arnaud. Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos took the same approach last month when the Miami Marlins requested top Blue Jays prospects in trade talks; a 12-player trade was the end result.

Huh, Gose is likely in the deal along with JPA or TDA? Geez, we're going to be gutting all of our bats, huh?

I'm 23 and I feel like I used ICQ when I was in...grade 4? MSN was definitely the end of elementary school.

Good times.

I could really see this becoming another Marlins-esque trade. Have to know that AA isn't comfortable giving up both Gose and D'Arnaud without getting something else to come along with Dickey. Wow..I'm really anxious to see what the final deal is.

I haven't used it in so long I'm not sure if it's just my email address or not. Trying to figure it out.
