Pears Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 What’s a more iconic duo than Trent Thornton and either blowing games or blowing games wide open? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_fo_life Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Blow Jays are trash, how many playoff games have they played since 1995? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggio can too. Although with all the outfielders they have Gurriel is the more logical choice at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well, the silver lining in yesterday’s loss was both the A’s and Red Sox loss, as well. So, the Jays didn’t lose any ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Seeing a lot of talk about the Jays possibly being in on Nelly Cruz.....NC is up there in age, but is still hitting over .300 with good power numbers and OBP... One "insider" that I saw suggested the Jays might be shooting for a package of Cruz and lefty reliever Taylor Rogers, who has an ERA around 2.5 and a WHIP of just over 1.0 He also average a K per inning and strikes out over twice as many batters as he walks. Depending on the price, I like this deal. The Jays don't really need another bat, but can you imagine how scary that lineup would be with Nelson Cruz in the middle? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you can make the lineup more deadly it's always interesting what if, but like you said they really don't need another bat they didn't need another bat in the off season when signing Springer imo, just pitching, pitching, pitching, that's all I want to see acquired going forward, but if it's a package like you're proposing and losing a weaker bat for that replacement as long as a pitcher is available sure. Wow he's 41 and hitting .299 pretty impressive actually at his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 There are worse things in the world than acquiring Cruz, but it is yet another right handed bat, plus he'd wreck the DH rotation the Jays have going and I think the players like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally up on what the Jays' prospect situation is, but I recall reading an article by one of the Jays' beat writers (Shi Davidi, Ben Nicholson-Smith, not 100% sure) where they said the Jays can afford to move prospects. I think the one guy that I wouldn't move if I were Shatkins, is catching prospect Gabriel Moreno. He's still in AA, but he's tearing it up and looks like the best prospect the team has produced at that position in ages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same here on prospects but did hear or see that same thing you have mentioned regarding them, this management props did help fill them by the sounds of it. This looks like a good place to start https://www.mlb.com/prospects/bluejays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Martin and (maybe) Groshans, I'd consider moving one of them, as well as any catcher not named Moreno.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd move Davis if they can, he isn't amounting to anything imo, and I really don't like Jansen, I want him gone, although their value isn't high, maybe throw them into a deal to get a little more.
