LOL that's all they got for both guys combined, a AAAA outfielder in Fisher? This guy (the Jays GM) really is the Fenton of MLB.

Worse. More like the Milbury. Hope someone throws his sorry hide out the door ASAP.

 

[Blitzkrug]

**** off, Shatkins.

 

[Dr Pepper]

So two pitchers and now a prospect, for Derek Fisher aaaaaaaand.....who?

Astros just shipped out four prospects for Greinke, gotta expect a couple more are headed our way now.

Blue Jays were already at losing end of this trade and they felt need to throw in #25 prospect in Jays system on top of it!

These deals by Jays have been awful this week

If there isn’t more to this deal going to Toronto ... yikes.

Apparently they are getting some Subway gift cards.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Forrest Whitley would be a nice consolation prize.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

LOL

[Langdon Alger]

WTF?

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Did I just teleport to a universe where Aaron Sanchez is good again or something?

Jays get a guy with some upside who's never really gotten a shot for some spare parts and Joe Biagni. That's fine.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Oh, there’s more to the deal. Ok, good.

Turns out there was more to the deal, but the wrong team added.

The guy has never gotten shot because he has been brutal in his ML career and is soon to be 26

You can only ride that 1st round hype so long

Also there is far more upside for Stros turning Sanchez around then Fisher turning his career around

 

[Del Preston]

Is there a bigger Blue Jays apologist than Andrew Stoeten?

Pretty much.

At first glance it would appear the Jays got hosed, but I'll hold off until we see how Fisher does in Toronto.

I'm trying so hard to give Shapiro and Atkins a chance here.

Are you familiar with Mike Wilner?

No one shakes their blue and white pom-poms the way Mike does.

I'm going to miss Joe Biagini interviews.

Also: brutal trade for Jays. If you can't get anything for Sanchez ( Biagini and Stevenson for Fisher wouldn't have been overly one-sided), why not hold onto him? He has another year of control for crying out loud. Just trading players for the sake of trading players. The bar is set pretty low for this group of management and I was still underwhelmed.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Lol Biagini just said if he was going to get traded he was hoping it would be to a team in the United States.

 

[TF97]

As someone who has backed the front office on some iffy moves, I can say with complete confidence that this trade is absolutely terrible.

So 27 year old Sanchez is toast and 26 year old Fischer has "upside"?

That's either a homer take or a bad take (or both).

Not sure if Sanchez is toast, but he has been bad this year.

Stoeten throws a fit whenever someone disagrees with him.

 

[HansonBro]

I admittedly dont follow baseball too much but wasnt Sanchez a young arm the Jays should have kept since dealing Stro?

Is smoker not a highly desirable piece teams are looking for?

 

[Maestro84]

Shatkins is quickly becoming the GarPax of baseball smfh

No wonder ppl in Toronto gave up on the jays...
