OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

that is a pretty nice deal for Boston.

 

[Jeremy]

Still pissed about how the media carried out the Yu sweepstakes. Don't really trust them as much.

 

[Hoss]

I really want Matt Garza. Young, aggressive, familiar with the AL East. He really should be top choice... him behind Romero would be FANTASTIC

 

[Killer93]

Garza rumored to be headed to Blue Jays

Garza deal close; headed to Jays

Jays/Cubs deal VERY close for Garza

Garza inches from being a Jay; filling out passport paperwork!

Garza traded to the Yankees

Sounds about right.

You forgot the part where the impatient fans whine about the jays not spending 543905820948524 million on fielder or bust.

If the Jays acquire Garza, I'll break my arms patting myself on the back...

 

[Fitzgerald#11]

Someone's going to get Madson on the cheap I would think. No one left to pay the poor guy, hope his agent knows what he's doing.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

What young starting prospects do the Yankees have to trade for Garza? Nova? Hughes? Joba?

 

[drewser]

They have two big SP prospects in Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I assume the Cubs want a package built around Henderson Alvarez and Kyle Drabek.

 

[drewser]

AA isn't giving up both those guys for two years of Garza.

 

[Fitzgerald#11]

Drabek, Hutch and a lower end prospect. Too bad they already traded Marshall cause he would of been a nice add on.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Do the Cubs have a lefty in the pen they could toss in?

 

[JaysCyYoung]

John Grabow. Any interest in him?

James Russell as well. He's a lot younger and cheaper than Grabow (will be making $428K next season).

One of the shrewdest bullpen signings of the offseason, could be the Phillies acquisition of Dontrelle Willis....if they use his as a LOOGY at the back of the pen.

Was really hoping AA would have been all over that..

 

[zeke]

What might be an even shrewder LOOGY "acquisition":

B.Cecil

vs. LHH: 109.0ip, 7.3k/9, 3.0k/bb, .233avg, .664ops, 3.79fip, 3.78xfip
vs. RHH: 280.2ip, 5.9k/9, 1.8k/bb, .283avg, .834ops, 5.04fip, 4.59xfip

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I suggested making Cecil a reliever and was laughed at.
