Blue Jays Discussion: Upton Jr acquired, also Storen & cash for Benoit

[Longshot]

Thanks! It does make sense for the Jays to trade Sanchez for him in that case right?

No.

And they're not, so don't worry about it.

Doesn't look promising of the Jays doing anything... Maybe a reliever in the last hour. Forget Reddick

Twitter report:

Buck Martinez: "Asking price for Sale starts with Aaron Sanchez."

Why would any team do something like this? The idea is to "load up" for the stretch run and playoffs, not to laterally move and exchange an ace for an ace. Prospects sure, but a very important player on the roster? Guess Sale is staying where he is.

 

[zeke]

As it should.

agree from their side, but given sanchez is having as a good a season in his first year starting as sale has ever had, that can't happen from our side.

Probably not since Sanchez still has another year at league minimum before 3 more years of arbitration. It doesn't really make sense to remove any impact pieces from the big league roster.

???

What is this based on?

It's still over three hours until the deadline.

Really? For "whatever"?

What if it's Osuna and Sanchez?

 

[Puckstuff]

hill + reddick for whatever please

this has to get done. It's been reported it's been discussed between the two teams. They are probably asking more then fair value, because you know; Beane probably would hate to see the Jays and Donalson win a world series

Everybody should also remember, it's the non-waiver trade deadline. They can still make deals after today.

Last year the Jays added Pennington and Barney in trades after the deadline.

Brandon Nimmo headlines the package headed to Cincy for Bruce.

 

[Longshot]

With the Reds trading Bruce, you have to think all the contenders are calling them about Votto.

 

[Longshot]

Hill to the Jays makes a lot of sense. Toronto has a lot of starting depth and have time to wait for his blister issue to heal.

 

[Longshot]

Rosenthal reporting Dodgers and As have made a trade. Either Hill or Reddick going to LA. Cotton to Oakland.

How much cotton?

 

[Longshot]

Reddick and Hill to the Dodgers. They got them both.

They'd have to eat a ton of remaining salary.

They probably are.

argh.

Get a pitcher, because this deadline is a massive failure without adding one.

 

[Longshot]

Sounds like Puig might be on the move at some point as well.

Overreact much?
