A big Jays fan supposedly.
I'd love to see him up. Tulo in the fold over Reyes negates any offensive drop-off from the Carerra/Colabello tandem to Pompey (and I can't believe I just wrote that) and the added D in the OF would be nice. Plus you can keep Carerra as the 4th OF, which I think is a much more suitable job for him. Though it would be hard to squeeze Colabello onto the bench without having to take out of the pen.
So I wonder if this fourth player going to Colorado exists
Thats true. I do believe Tulo has said he is going to stick at SS no matter what, but maybe thats cause moving him to second was in the discussion. Maybe he's open to dh'ing. Hopefully a pitcher in the system makes some major strides next year, maybe Osuna will be that if he's in the minors as a starter.You don't know Tulo.
Health aside, gave away an at best neutral asset in Reyes because of his contract, got the best offensive shortstop in baseball by a country mile and an above average defender for 5 years.
If Tulo has injuries or gets "old" his bat woild easily play at DH
Taro Tsujimoto to be the 4th player, confirmed.

Oh man Cleveland turned that down.
I'm a huge fan of Carrasco, and he's arguably worth that price, but... holy ****.
The Jays did offer lefty Daniel Norris, No. 1 pick Jeff Hoffman and outfielder Dalton Pompey in talks with the Cleveland Indians for right-hander Carlos Carrasco.
It gets worse..
No way that was offered.

Kawasaki will be the 3rd minor leaguer and he will end up becoming a superstar SS. Book it.
...then the Jays will acquire Jacob deGrom for Melky Mesa and a Chad Beck baseball card.
I'm glad the Reyes-Jays era ended on a good note.
It never got to the point where it was unbearable and nasty.
We saw moments of where his career is going, but we never truly went down that road.
For that I am happy. I get to hang up my Reyes jersey with pride, and find a new jersey to don. Any suggestions?
You leave The Human Couch out of this.Sounds like something Gregg Zaun would say.
