OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Would be so shittwins to give up the most valuable years of price to them only to actually give up assets for the lest valuable years of his contract.
 
Agreed that Grichuk has negative value. But, although I think he is overall a bad baseball player, he should be able to rehab some value this year and I think he could get back up to zero value. Maybe.

Just offer to take all 90 whatever million and get the best possible prospect along with Price. It would be a decent use of all this extra payroll and then Price will be gone when the young guys start making real money.

If they want Giles, fine, but the price has to be very steep.
 
Also Drury has a non-guaranteed contract so the Jays can cut him anytime before the season starts and won’t be on the hook for most of his salary. I think it would cost them something like 200-300K depending on when exactly he is cut.
 
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

I like the option of this shitty regime flexing our financial muscle for once and taking the full contract and all the valuable player capital we can get to go along with it. And then if Price bounces back, trade his ass out of town for more prospects.

First of all he paced to be a 4+ win SP last year so if he " bounces back" he becomes a CY contender. Also, thevkids are here its time to add talent to them not have dreams of prospect flipping
 
I'm fine within bringing on Price if Boston eats a big chunk of the deal, but would any other move really and truly act as a mascot for the Shapiro regime more than bringing back Price when he's old and cheap(er) after he left to win a world series with a rival? We would rather pay him half his salary now that he's in decline rather than have paid him while he was a stud....because we might have to pay him during his decline.
 
2yr stats:

6.0ip/gs, 54era-, 72fip-, 75xfip-, 5.9awar/32

He's not going to do quite that well with us at age 33+, but this is a legit frontline pitcher most likely.

Good job, shapirokins.
