What happened? Or is this about nothing happening?
lol while we did go through a long ass drought, how can players not look the core talent that is already at the mlb level and our farm and disregard it and just remember the previous 2 decades of mismanagement. Its different times from that era. Nonsense really. Also fuck him enjoy being in the 3rd world section of america.

Indians will take care of him.
What? Why is Bautista pissed? Did I miss something?
Guessing because he is 33 and this is his best chance at a ring and never know might be last. A's/Tigers nutted up and improved and Blue Jays did whatever they did.
He was pissed because the Jays' management didn't do anything to improve the team's roster. Looks like he's not alone on this.
Correct.

Phew matt Cain will not need Tommy john...but will probably need some sort of surgery.

I would be surprised if he came back this year with how long they are waiting (hopefully I'm wrong).
Maybe Dan Uggla can pitch

Per Bernie, here's what Mo had to say regarding the Craig deal:
"Playing time for him (Craig) was going to dwindle whether I made this trade or not. The squeeze was on for playing time. We don't make this trade unless you have Taveras playing and Piscotty in the wings. At some point if you believe in their potential you have to let them play."
Combined with this teams complacent attitude all season, this was a boot in the ass message to the Cards team.

I wonder if he can catch Posey's jock strap in the club house with out making a fielding error.
Who on the roster was he willing to sacrifice so the Jays could nut up? The price for Price was a #1 SP prospect and a good, regular outfield. Blue Jay equivalent would probably be something like Stroman or Hutchison and Melky. That deal wouldn't improve the Jays.
The price for Lester and Lackey were regular roster players too.
The Jays don't have the trade bait without creating another hole in the roster. Don't imagine anyone was buying that Gose or Goins are elite level prospects capable of bringing a big piece of improvement.
I dont know about your roster, as foreign to me as poutine and bagged milk. Im just saying that is likely why he frustrated.
He wouldn't get an error because he would never touch it, he would make a diving attempt for it and watch it roll by.

Plus there's no way the Sox or Rays were moving any of those dudes to division rival.

Giants fans should place Dan Uggla's head on this until he leaves the team.

Lol at TOR & PIT. Joke Clubs. Keep on admiring your prospects and worthless minorleague numbers.
What prospects? Blue Jays blew their load last year in the Marlin and Dickey deals. Their best young talent is already filling spots on the major league roster.
They just don't have the org depth to make significant deals.
I dont even know your team, but fuck it and may TJ visit it often.

Cliff Lee just hurt his elbow. Looked bad.
This day perfectly represents the Phillies: do nothing, still break.

Norris/Osuna are well ranked prospects. I'm sure you could have done something if you really wanted to make a deal happen. You could also trade lesser prospects for competitive balance pics and add that to a package.

Boston, the most TJ resistant franchise that exist. Don't take it out on me if clowns run your team. Which one are you taking offense?
Unfortunately Chris Young forgot how to pitch.
Man how infrequent do you visit the thread that you dont know my team and also my former username! mang give me Brock Holt back now.

Very infrequently. You can have Holt back. Just sent one of Bell/Glasnow and we can work it out.
Give you heredia and bag of doritos

Well that's one fewer piece for Amaro to deal.
Not that he would have done it.

wow. That is scary. I do hope he is fine. :/

He'll be fine after surgery.

He didn't fly with team so he either is going to triple a or getting released here soon.Giants fans should place Dan Uggla's head on this until he leaves the team.

With or without surgery, the last time he had that injury he missed 2 months, so his season's likely done either way.

Well if he has TJ 2015 is also in jeopardy. Also was just thinking, who is the oldest pitcher to have TJ and how did they return after.
