OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[LeafGm]

Fuck it. I’d love them to bring Max back.

Especially if they can get him on-board with the idea that he won’t be starting anywhere close to every five days, and his entire regular season will be geared towards getting him into the best possible form for the post season.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Send them to the pen. If they don't want to go, trade them.
There are always options.

Yeah, not keen on upsetting guys to accomodate a 41 year old.

It made sense last year, this year less so.

A first ballot hall of famer.

That's a lot of upside there all of a sudden.

Not trading first round picks for Carlo and Laughlin types helped.

 

[Volcanologist]

plus the Jays draft miles better

Imai
Murakami
Cease
Bo

Would probably be a $40M increase over last year’s payroll which seems pretty reasonable considering how much they made in this playoff run.

 

[zeke]

yeah cease is still my fave SP target. not spectacular but very good and very durable and very consistent.

and losing Bo would be an unforced error imo.

I'd be happy with those 2 only.


Don't care much about those japanese guys tbh. Maybe Imai if the price is right. Then again, i'd be more than happy bringing back bassett/scherzer as swingmen if they aren't asking the moon.

 

[Leafin']

I hope they add to the pen.

 

[axlsalinger]

Bo
Imai
High-end RP

Kyle Tucker would be great, I just think it's unrealistic to sign him and Bo, plus spend big on pitching. With the 3 above, I'd be fine bring back Max and/or Bassitt. Especially if Chris is interested in being a 6th SP / RP.

Shit. Can we make this a rule in hockey too, and protect Leaf fans from our team’s management?

Yeah, I'm fine with Bo + High end SP + High end RP as the main adds to the roster. Maybe you find a trade somewhere and move like a Schneider or Lukes or prospect and bring in a valuable expiring contract to upgrade, but I can live with the bats if we can get those pitching upgrades.

Pretty sure there has never been a trade in the NHL that didn't have some draft pick attached to it

Is this real?

There we go. No fucking around.

Blue check on Twitter...must be, right?

 

[zeke]

Awesome. The one SP I wanted.
