The three months David Price spent with the Blue Jays in 2015 were among the most enjoyable of his career. The Jays are in a different place now, with a different front office. Price, 34, is more expensive and less durable. But he again might prove a solution for Toronto, which is exploring all avenues to improve its starting pitching.

The signing of free-agent left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu remains one possibility for the Jays, but the team also is talking to the Red Sox about a trade for Price, according to major-league sources. A deal only will come to fruition if the clubs agree on how much the Red Sox will pay of the $96 million remaining in the final three years of Price’s contract. Such an agreement is not close at this time, and the Red Sox are talking to other clubs about Price and examining different options as well, sources said.

If you remove the nostalgia its a smarter signing than EE, who they could still sign if they trade Teo or are cool with him as an OF. Would have preferred a team option on this Shaw deal tho

Jays own his 2021 arbitration rights.

If done right this makes tons of sense for both teams.

I'm not convinced Shapiro has the gull to pull the trigger though.

Makes zero sense to help Boston resign their superstar in betts. While we get stuck with the rotting corpse of Price.

no thanks

2.2 W season in half the innings. Still a strong SP when healthy. Learn baseball

Shell of His former self

 

[axlsalinger]

Not interested unless it's a sweetheart deal for us.

 

[Leafin']

Help out division rival. Learn baseball

Price, Bradley, Prospect

Grichuk and SRF

why would we give up any value in a deal? They’re desperate to get rid of him.

Ffs you are helping yourself with a solid arm, asset, or bad contract shipped.

Someone is going to help themselves and take on Price, a betts deal aint happening. Might as well be us

Where the fuck is the value on our side here?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I don’t love them but I wouldn’t want to throw in those two as part of a dump. What are you saying?

Grichuk is a negative value and SRF is close to a bust. Its nothing to give up to get Price ( at whatever dollar number) one year of JBJ who can actually play CF and a top ish prospect.

Moving Grich alliws you to enter the corner OF market too

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Grichuk would be more of a dump than Price

There is no way it woukd be for Price straight up. If done right it would work for both teams.

There are different ways to do it.

Have them eat money to what he would be worth on the open market. 3 x 15, which would br 48M and give up a nothing return

Make them take on salary from us be it Grichuk, Drury or Giles and add assets on either side accordingly.

Eat as much of tge deal as you can and make them give you Benintendi or ton of prospect capital
