  1. 10 years. He wants 40M annually. I'll be honest, I hardly ever watch the National League and when I do its only because of the World Series or if they're playing Toronto. I'm purely judging from stats since I don't really know how he plays, but Harper seems way out of line with this request. He needs to make up for last season. No way can he possibly be better than Mike Trout. I actually remember that. I guess his 2016 season performance is why. Jays could still be contenders, depends on the moves they made. At least we still got a chance at the wildcard. NYY had 84 wins in their worst season since 1996 and that's unreal. I think Harper will be a lock for NYY as I read that was his dream team as a kid. They'll be dominant in 2018.
  2. Thanks Rup. I'm going to debate anyone who even mentions management being in the wrong when it comes to EE because it is in no way, shape or form Atkins/Shapiros doing. I've met them and had conversations with them and I believe they are good people. Just because they are smart with money, it doesn't make them cheap. (If they screw JD over I will change my opinion). I'm sad about EE though because he could have easily been a Jay and will likely settle for 4x80M elsewhere. Kinzer screwed this up so bad and all just because he wanted a better pay day himself. "I just wanted to see the market". Ya good joke. Jays are not going to wait and let other replacements sign elsewhere and let you use that as leverage for negotiations. All they wanted to do was let Boston sign Morales and once all those players settled, they'd use "no good replacement" as a negotiating tactic. Some dumbass fans are even saying things like "I called this. Next is Martin and Tulo getting traded because they aren't team-friendly deals".
  3. It's already confirmed Edwin is gone. The greedy Dbag himself, Paul Kinzer, made a statement alongside EE confirming Toronto is out. Edwin is partially to blame to but if I'm him I'd fire my agent for screwing me so bad.
  4. Read my comment above or read the very recent reports. This is all on Paul Kinzer. People call our management cheap even though they know nothing. They just blindly want a players request granted without looking at the future implications it has. This is in no way Torontos fault. Torontos offer that all the armchair GMs called "laughable" was Edwin's best offer lmao. There's a reason why NYY, BOS and HOU all lost interest as well. EE would be a Jay right now if he didn't get greedy.
  5. You know your agent is an idiot when the front-runners are now the Cleveland Indians because you scared everyone else away. 10/10 Paul Kinzer. Almost as bad as Jacob Troubas agent..
  6. Nice, that means we'll probably sign him. Also for the thread - Why is everyone blaming Shapiro? I dont blame him at all for not bending over backwards for Kinzer.
  7. If that contract was offered today to EE, it would likely have been accepted. F*ck Paul Kinzer.
  8. Ken Rosenthal believes Paul Kinzer overplayed his hand declining the 4x20M contract offer. Honestly all of this is on him for trying to take advantage of the Blue Jays by manipulating the media. I'd honestly be happy with Moreland at this point. NYY,BOS and HOU have no interest in signing EE at this point and I highly doubt Toronto does. Even Texas doesn't seem that interested, but that could change if Toronto signs Moreland.
  9. They're still talking to Moreland... We need outfielders too and Pearce provides that.
  10. Heyman says Jays talking to both Moreland and EE but if they sign Moreland then that officially ends talks with EE. I'm content either way at this point.
  11. If it's unclear that is closes the door on Moreland, then its unclear for EE as well I guess. We better get Moreland or EE.
  12. I know right? And now that leaves the Yankees as front runners. Gross.
  13. Nah I doubt he goes to either team unless either GM ups their game. This is good news for TO
  14. Anyone notice that whenever the Blue Jays post something on Facebook, every other comment is "sign Edwin". As soon as that Astros deal is announced, it will get ugly.
  15. Can we please ban any article or report that uses TSN as its source? They're a joke and no one wants to read their crap.

      How about you just ignore anything from TSN and allow others to make that judgement for themselves.

      Alrighty then. Let's all let you decide what everyone else can or can't read.

      Can we ban everything sportsnet for ruining hockey in Canada ?

  16. Price is horrible in the post-season, Edwin is 34 and has an injury history. No chance in hell does this happen with Donaldson. If they were truly lowering payroll then they wouldnt have traded for Upton/Liriano and they wouldnt have kept Tulo and Martin at 20M. They offered Edwin a very fair contract all things considered so that kind of debunks the "players developed" theory. Cecil had every fan bashing him, now we complain that he's gone? Why overpay him like STL did. Not wasting money ≠ being cheap. I was against Rogers at first but its starting to sound like Kinzer is a greedy D-bag who's using EE's "Love for TO" to milk this for all he can. Theres 2 sides to every story. Kinzer probably doesn't care at all about EE and just sees him as a huge opportunity to earn some cash. As for Bautista, he was a complete dick to them from the beginning so not at all surprised they have no interest in retaining him.
  17. That was a special circumstance though because of false-advertising.
  18. People get hacked and the person hacking will spend $100+ of the victims money and Sony still denies the victim a refund and will ban the account if not paid (even after admitting the account was hacked). When it comes to money spent on the PSN store, Sony has some very poor business practices and bad customer service. Your $20 is gone.
  19. Heres my only hope - They ask EE to bring his offer to match. Apparently Canada has the advantage when it comes to EE's taxes (which I personally dont understand) so at least we have that over other teams.
