OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[GEEMAN]

Sell high. This team isn’t going anywhere this year.

bingo

 

[GEEMAN]

the new CBA needs to limit contract lengths. None of this 10+ year bullshit. Stuck with a fat lazy 1B for the next 14 years? Brutal. He is the biggest reason our season is where it is. For that money you are the offense.

Sell as much as you can off. Find some long term options if they become available. Retool for next year.

Yup and find another Varland diamond at any position

Team can buy and sell maybe adding lets say Nimmala to a package to get some controllable players

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

If Hunter Greene, Reid Detmers, Logan Webb, Eury Perez, George Kirby, and i guess Jose Soriano are out there i'd be on the phone about all of them

 

[zeke]

Selling hurts our ability to attract FAs and "retool" next year. All for the sake of a handful of B/C prospects.

And vladdy will hit again. Only question is when.

 

[MindzEye]

Why would selling pieces we're not moving forward with (Springer, etc) impact our ability to retool?

 

[zeke]

Because giving up and finishing shitty makes us look shitty and unattractive.

 

[MindzEye]

Instead of trying hard and still finishing shitty?

Yes.

 

[MindzEye]

Eh I don't think the difference between a top 5ish spending team with top facilities and a great rep attracting free agents we want is 72 wins but sold at the deadline vs 79 wins and didn't.

 

[CH1]

And vladdy will hit again. Only question is when.

No

 

[MindzEye]

No

Nonsense

I sold all my Vlad stock last week after he described his hitting woes as “the season has a long way to go”

C’mon man, you’ve spent 100 games slugging like a slick fielding back up shortstop

It's cool, you'll rebuy later at a higher price. Nothing wrong with de risking your portfolio. Not going to get that class A voting shares again though

Eh we look much more unattractive this winter if we chucked out loved and respected top players like Springer and Gausman and gave up on a world series team when they were a handful of games out.

I might change my mind later… but right now Habsy algo is suggesting that I have more important issues to sort out

Chucked out or let them pick the destination of their choice to join a contender with a shot of winning?

Fuck that. We’re not attractive unless we throw top money. Why pretend? Sell all the olds. Buy long term pieces. Pay the top free agents.

This 4gb is a mirage from the big picture of this team being pretty bad offensively and having some inconsistent/not healthy starting pitching all year. I don’t buy it.

 

[CH1]

Yeah. I think we’re a bubble team and free agents will not shy away from us unless we look hopeless… which we don’t.

Zeke is just being insecure
