OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[manny]

That’s not how this type of trade works, Mark. You traded a prospect for an established player, and lost year one of the deal. The evaluation is only going to get worse, even if the players stay the same. The Jays have three years of control on Varsho, at which point Moreno will have just started his arbitration years.

The awfulness of the trade is “undeniable”.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Undeniably useless.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The fuck does that mean?

 

[leafman101]

It means they don’t have a lot of control left. Too risky to keep them.

These guys go to Vegas to play blackjack and probably decline the second card.

No, I’m going to stay on this 9, thank you.

The sweet spot of the downfall of the Jays to the bottom of the division

Yeah, Austin Powers

Exactly

Shapiro ain't going anywhere until he decides he wants to leave. He's the ideal Rogers employee. Jays viewership and attendance is through the roof, Rogers is happy as shit.

Which means expect more of this over the next decade plus - a good but not great team, gets in the playoffs as often as not, has a chance if everyone gets hot at the same time, but never a true favorite.

Boy, the Moreno comments from just late August have changed quite a bit on here. Look what he's doing at 23.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Big deal, he’s great in the playoffs but can he duplicate this performance in the all important regular season??

Average hitter at best.

The sweet spot of shared risk between Rogers and the fans

I still maintain some hope that after Atkins is fired, Shapiro is somehow compelled to bring in a real GM instead of a lackey, someone who will only take the job if Shapiro gets out of baseball ops entirely. Basically, the move Dolan forced in Cleveland when they promoted Antonelli.

Otherwise, yeah, he’s here as long as he wants to be.

Exactly. Like, do this in game #126 if you're really something special.

perfectly balanced as things should be

About as likely as Jeremy becoming the voice of reason for the board.

2 heavy favourites are done. Dodgers eliminated yesterday, Phillies knock out the Braves today.
