ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Report: Blue Jays looking at Happ reunion The Toronto Blue Jays are on the hunt for starting pitching this offseason, and that interest could lead them to a pitcher from their past. Toronto has asked the New York Yankees about trading for left-hander J.A. Happ, according to SNY's Andy Martino, who also mentioned the Milwaukee Brewers as a team to watch on Happ. Additionally, Martino noted that "plenty" of National League teams would like to add the lefty. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1902493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tough one imo, my gut instinct is go with Edwin, but if the guy they're getting is to help mentor Tellez at 1B, I would have to go with Smoak because of his history at 1B a lot more experience then EE at 1B.

I think Vladdy J and Lourdes could used a guy like Edwin on the team, not just Tellez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It's certainly no reason to start planning the parade, but he's an MLB starter.... ....now if they can just swing a deal for Ryu and/or Keuchel...(like S_T#37 said) Edited December 12, 2019 by RUPERTKBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/bluejays/report-blue-jays-agree-to-2-year-deal-with-japanese-pitcher-yamaguchi/ar-BBY5Yvp?ocid=spartandhp " The Toronto Blue Jays reached an agreement with Japanese right-hander Shun Yamaguchi, pending a physical, a source told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. It's a two-year deal worth just over $6 million with performance bonuses, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Toronto will have to pay the Yomiuri Giants a transfer fee based on a percentage of the contract's value. Yamaguchi led Japan's Central League with 188 strikeouts last season and authored a 2.91 ERA in 170 innings. The 32-year-old registered 111 saves in the early stages of his career before transitioning to a starting pitcher. The Blue Jays believe Yamaguchi will likely be used in a relief role, according to Rosenthal. Toronto's projected 2020 rotation features Tanner Roak, Chase Anderson, Matt Shoemaker, Trent Thornton, and Ryan Borucki. However, the team is also reportedly interested in left-handers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Dallas Keuchel. The only other Japanese players who have played for the Blue Jays are infielder Munenori Kawasaki, outfielder Nori Aoki, and right-handers Tomo Ohka and Ryota Igarashi.

RUPERTKBD Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Justin Smoak to the Brewers. I'm actually happy about this. Smoaky deserves a shot at the post season, and the Brewers are definite contenders. As far as the Jays go, I could see them picking up a right handed bat (I'm not optimistic about Edwing, though) and going with a platoon at 1st / DH. Hopefull, Rowdy takes another step forward next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually a bit surprised that we haven't heard any talk about bringing Eric Thames back...They'd probably prefer a righty to complement Tellez, but they could probably plug in Vladdy or Drury against tough lefties once in a while...
