Blue Jays Discussion: Trades for Troy Tulowitzki .. And some other guy named David Price

[Suntouchable13]

Bautista is like "**** yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[Radiohead]

Why do people act that Toronto is Iqualit or something.
Major city, great quality stuff - an amazing offensive line up, great left field. and showing that you want to go for it.

Price could resign if he gets his money etc.

Going through customs is a pain though.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Because money.

I'm sure some team will throw 200M+ at him over 8+ years.

why can't that be the jays? I don't think AA would trade prospects at him without backing of ownership to talk extension.

Tigers working to trade Joakim Soria, as well, but source says it does not appear he is going to Jays in Price deal.

 

[ryno23]

good deal for the Jays and I would just now offer Price the same deal Scherzer has and then it becomes a great deal.

This is the time Rogers needs to step up and use their mighty financial clout. They could sign that ACE that is missing and do it before he even gets to FA.

 

[HarrisonFord]

 

[KapG]

Beeston and Athopolous have said the 5 year rule is breakable in the right sitauation. Its not 100% set in stone.

Price is gonna get paid.

Do you see the jays offering something like 200million over 8 years or so? I'll believe it when I see it

 

[Cousin Eddie]

If there was a gif of AA's head on McMahon, I'd post it right now.

How is there not already?

 

[GoonieFace]

Alford better not be going the other way with Norris. No no no no no. Unless Cespedes is inlcuded too

Who really cares, how many people have actually seen Alford play? I would give up prospects for a stud pitcher any day of the week

 

[Sokil]

 

[KapG]

If not him they are signing someone in the offseason. Jays aren't going all in for 1 year.

I hope this is the case and you're right...

 

[JoeParez]

I keep seeing people talk about some 5 year rule that Beaston has

Beeston ain't here after this year.

 

[Swervin81]

Price is gonna get paid.

Bigger. Think Scherzer money. Think more than Scherzer money.

Besides, we landed the Rocket way back in FA.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Because money.

I'm sure some team will throw 200M+ at him over 8+ years.

Is that a problem for us? We can ditch some serious $$ this summer and pay him without any issues at all IMO.

 

[p.l.f.]

All the experts we're saying we didn't have enough to get price after the tulo deal and would be looking at a 3rd starter

 

[Joufreau]

blue jaaaaaaays!!!!

man if we get a legit closer we're in business. Maybe another middle rotation starter would be a nice bonus....and whatever bullpen upgrades we can find

 

[TF97]

David Price is a huge acquisition, I'm not a fan of trading for rentals no matter what their name is. So I'm hopeful Price will re-sign. As I've said before, I can't see AA moving both Norris and Alford if he wasn't confident that he could re-sign Price.

 

[Puckstuff]

When is sanchez back?

Price
Buerhle
Estrada

decent top 3

 

[Lahey]

Price would be a good mentor for Stro as well. Show him how to be a professional. Price is a good guy on and off the field

 

[dubplatepressure]

Whoa. Amazing. Price and Tulo? Might actually make me get down to the Rogers center now.

 

[tp71]

When is sanchez back?

Price
Buerhle
Estrada

decent top 3

He's already back and in the pen.

 

[Longshot]

When is sanchez back?

Price
Buerhle
Estrada

decent top 3

Sanchez is back and is in the bullpen.

Have you been on an island or something? lol

 

[LaCarriere]

why can't that be the jays? I don't think AA would trade prospects at him without backing of ownership to talk extension.

When have the Jays ever handed out that kind of money?

Not to burst the bubble, but there's a real good chance Price walks.

That doesn't mean AA doesn't have some assurances from ownership that he has the approval to use all the money coming off the books From Dickey, Buehrle, Romero, Navarro, etc in the offseason to make a run at somebody else. I can't see AA selling the farm (a pretty big overpayment compared to what Cueto got) if he doesn't at least have money to spend next year.

Not sure Jays can pay Scherzer type money for him... but then again, they do have Buehrle and Dickey coming off the books. Can you imagine having him in the rotation with Stroman/Hutch/Sanchez next season?
