Blue Jays Discussion: Roy Halladay officially inducted in the 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame Class

That's...well it's a return.

 

[Cloned]

Yeah I thought I misunderstood afterwards.

Nah my post wasn't that clear, it was my bad.

 

[trellaine201]

ROFL drama perhaps

 

[Advanced stats]

Awkward

 

[theaub]

That's...well it's a return.

Definitely have to commend us for getting professional baseball players in return.

 

[stickty111]

Kay is okay, I like Richardson.

 

[ref19]

I'm not even a huge Stroman fan, but seriously man??

How is that off for a playoff team wanting to acquire him? Teams like the Astros, Twins, Red Sox, etc already have their top 2 guys

 

[dredeye]

Jays aren't confirming the trade? WTF is happening

 

[Canada4Gold]

Those guys are baseball players.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Underwhelming return

 

[DaveMatthew]

If that’s the return it’s awful.

You said he is #3, and a bullpen arm?

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Absolutely horrendous for Stro. These guys are ****ing awful at getting value at the deadline.

 

[KuleminFan41]

You should be getting a haul for Stroman, not some hope and a prayer garbage. Shatkins is really testing everyone’s faith in them.

He should be more like Anthopolous and make trades like Syndergaard for Dickey, as well as trade away other prospects for mediocre aging players

 

[Morgs]

Lmao @ the people who have no idea what they're talking about and say it's underwhelming/bad for the Jays.

SWR is at 18 tearing up A ball, and Kay only started his pro career last year and was a standout at AA this season. I wish we got more too, but typical of people who know nothing jumping in.

 

[zeke]

Funny deal for me.

SWR is my kind of prospect.

Kay is not.

Dissappointing deal for sure though.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Hope this rumour is not true. This return can't be the best out there.

 

[Dr.Funk]

A mutiny

The only team listed there that you could say that Stroman would be 3 on is the Astros....because they have 2 aces. He is undoubtedly atleast number 2 on all the other playoff teams.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Vlad Jr. is gonna be fleeing to the US before Shatkins ever manages to put together a half decent team again.

 

[thehockeysong]

Well at least Mets fans hate the trade for the most part.

I'm sure we will know a lot more about the prospects in the next bit from people that have never seen them.

 

[theaub]

Fairly confident the people on here who "know what they're talking about" would have called this a trash return 8 hours ago.

 

[Walshy7]

so many upset mets fans on twitter though?

including one guy who when first announced said if Allen OR Richardson are in the deal he is going to give up watching the mets, and both are in it haha.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

lol. Terrible if that's the return. I had moderate expectations and somehow Shatkin's might end up limboing under them.

Two 45FV pitchers (8m value) for a guy with 29m+ surplus value. There better be more to this, or Shatkins is an even worse negotiator than I already thought.

At least get Dom Smith too for goodness sakes. This return is at least 20m short of value.

I'm underwhelmed as well, it's just funny seeing people with 0 baseball knowledge walk in and scream.
