The Score ‏@theScore

In 2005 Jays sign AJ Burnett to a 5-year, $55M deal, 2012 Jays acquire Cy Young winner RA Dickey. Will cost team $30M over 3 years #Progress


-----


these days Burnett would have gotten at least 18 mil a year =/

Also, AJ was a Free Agent, this is an extension, so a bit of a different set of circumstances (along with others).

 

[BigJonsson]

just the tip.

And boom goes the dynamite

 

[Sanjuro]

This is what happens when you take hackey away from a canuck.

 

[Fenix]

Per Olney, some of the signing bonus that makes up the 2/25 extension is going to be applied to the 2012 payroll, not 2013.

The structure of the extension years is gonna be interesting.

 

[calder]

Worst negative of this trade: makes me regret bailing on Dickey's book 50 pages in a few months back. Just the intro was a boring, overly humble slog. Take some credit dude!

I mean, his autobiography was fucking riveting. Couldn't put it down, A+++ not as a sports bio, but as pure English lit.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Good article on Dickey by Rany Jazayerli over at Grantland.

@deljos94: @Alleycat17 d'Arnaud has now been traded for 2 CY young award winners! And now he's going BACK to Vegas #BlueJays


Interesting

 

[Snakeyes]

So are the Jays good now?

 

[gaming_noob]

@deljos94: @Alleycat17 d'Arnaud has now been traded for 2 CY young award winners! And now he's going BACK to Vegas #BlueJays


Interesting

Who is the other Cy Young winner for D'arnaud.

 

[Malo]

Fuck the Al East.

Who is the other Cy Young winner for D'arnaud.

Halladay.

 

[Fenix]

Who is the other Cy Young winner for D'arnaud.

Uhhh

 

[CygnusXS]

Uhhh

Ignore him, he's a noob.

 

[gaming_noob]

Fuck the Al East.


Halladay.

I misread that original comment. I thought 2 Cy Young winners are coming BACK to the Jays for D'Arnaud. Anyhow, I hope it works out for both teams. Anthopoulous is really something.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Astros sign Carlos Pena to a 1-year, $2.9 million deal.

 

[darkside31337]

Why did the Yankees sign Lastings Milledge to a three-year deal...

Astros sign Carlos Pena to a 1-year, $2.9 million deal.

You joke but Milledge had a monster season last year in Japan.

Still remember when Mets fans lost their shit when he got traded. Good times.

 

[Kave_Man]

EMOTIONS!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

R.A. Dickey is in Florida taking his physical for the Blue Jays. Once he passes, the trade will be complete. Dickey and the Blue Jays agreed on a 2-year, $25 million extension that will cover 2014 and 2015. Dickey makes just $5 million in 2013.

Here's the deal:

Blue Jays acquire: RHP R.A. Dickey, C Josh Thole, and a currently-unknown prospect

Mets acquire: C John Buck, C Travis d'Arnaud, RHP Noah Syndergaard, and a currently-unknown prospect

Blue Jays projected starting rotation for 2013:

1. R.A. Dickey
2. Josh Johnson
3. Mark Buehrle
4. Brandon Morrow
5. Ricky Romero

 

[Dominican Power]

Dickey is going to get owned in The AL Beast.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Yakult Swallows actually signed Milledge. Yankees of Japan maybe?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yakult Swallows actually signed Milledge. Yankees of Japan maybe?

Holy fuck. Yeah. I mis-read the fuck out of that. lol

 

[jello44]

Astros sign Carlos Pena to a 1-year, $2.9 million deal.

I still don't know how to feel about this.

 

[rinse82]

Dickey is going to get owned in The AL Beast.

Based on what?

R.A. Dickey in six starts vs. AL East teams since 2010: 42IP, 20 H, eight earned runs, 45 strikeouts, 11 walks, 1.71 ERA, small sample size.

 

[StudioTan]

Dickey is going to get owned in The AL Beast.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/fanfuel/2012/12/17/ra_dickey_blue_jays_mets_travis_darnaud_trade/

Dickey is 7-0 with a 2.02 ERA vs. the American League in the last three years in 10 starts and 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA vs. the AL East in six starts with three of those starts coming against the Yankees.

 

[Prade]

Dickey is going to get owned in The AL Beast.

4-0 with a 1.71 ERA vs the AL East in 6 starts with 3 of those starts coming against the Yankees.

Small sample size, but yeah...

Edit: Shit beaten.

 

[Carlbeego]

Those number don't mean shit son.

 

[Prade]

Those number don't mean shit son.

So he's gonna get lit up because you don't like how he's handled the easy league?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

[sangreal]

4-0 with a 1.71 ERA vs the AL East in 6 starts with 3 of those starts coming against the Yankees.

2 of those 3 starts were the no decisions (not that W-L means much). The other three wins were 2xBAL and 1xTBR

The Yankees rocked him last time they played. I'm not terribly worried about him

 

[Fenix]

Dickey passed his physical, there's a $12 million option for 2016 in the contract as well (I assume club option).

Edit: Nickeas is the other Mets player coming to Toronto. Bleh.

And Wilmer Becerra is going the other way.

 

[jbug617]

So this is what the Bluejays traded

D'arnaud
Syndergaard
Buck
Becerra

 

[Macattk15]

I hope Dickey becomes the Seattle Mariner RA Dickey when he comes to the AL.

What the fuck are the Mets doing? They gave up another catcher and get an infielder back? I hate this trade.

 

[Enron]

I'd want...

Teheran

Probably a one for one.

I mean, you could throw in Pastornicky, but I don't think that would happen, haha.

Spoiler

;-)

Brown for Teheran? loooooooooooooooool


Edit:

LINK ARE YOU OK

 

[Fenix]

Nickeas is straight garbage though, totally awful.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

CLUB option wow AA the best

 

[Malo]

Link is a crazy person.

True, but even garbage is better than nothing when it comes to depth.

[The Frankman]

Link is a crazy person.

I'm starting to think Link is trollisaynon in disguise.

I mean this isn't even a funny troll sequence.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Nickeas is fucking terrible. i feel u Link, but he's really bad.

 

[Link]

Nickeas is fucking terrible. i feel u Link, but he's really bad.

And yet he was a guy the Mets saw fit to put on their major league roster. That's how bad their catching depth is. Now they don't even have warm bodies for that position, let alone talent.

 

[Fenix]

Apparently no cash has exchanged hands, so the Jays payroll actually goes down by a million minus whatever Thole gets in arb.

 

[Schattenjäger]

What the fuck are the Mets doing? They gave up another catcher and get an infielder back? I hate this trade.

They got an outfielder for Nickaus relax

 

[Link]

Does this mean the Mets are actually paying John Buck's salary too?

Pretty sure Becerra is a shortstop.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Does this mean the Mets are actually paying John Buck's salary too?

Yes.
He's making more than Dickey this year. LOL

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

young kid, only 18 yo.

 

[Fenix]

That's the price paid for a better prospect return.
