Alex Anthopoulos going all in on offense lol.

 

[Malo]

Daniel Norris has to be in this trade, right?

Blue Jays pls.

Chris Vass of @MLBNetworkRadio says the Rockies will eat $6 of the approximate $105M owed to Tulo. Not $6M, $6.00.

 

[matthewwhatever]

yup gonna have to wait and see how this is.

tulu is a good player but he is on the wrong side of 30, an injury risk, and owed 100 mil or so over the next 5 years.

Minus the money, you just described Reyes too -- though Reyes' contract gets pretty ugly from here on out.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Knowing Tulo, he'll be on the DL within 3 weeks.

SIX

US

DOLLARS

Not even enough to cover a Big Mac value meal.

I refuse to believe this is right. There has to be a typo in there somewhere.

[Kave_Man]

Jays also get LaTroy Hawkins.

PITCHING!

 

[Silver Arrows]

Me rn

AA might have saved his job for a season if the pieces aren't too big, and we manage to make a wildcard spot.

 

[Coldnoodle]

LaTroy, now there's a name you can believe in.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Jays also get LaTroy Hawkins.

PITCHING!

The bullpen is saved!

 

[BigJonsson]

Next we are going to hear the Jays also had to take Carlos Gonzalez and other Rockies trash

 

[jbug617]

Even if the Jays don't grab a pitcher at this deadline, they are setup to grab a big name this offseason.

I wonder if they go in on Hamels if they were able to keep their big name prospects.

 

[3N16MA]

Tulo on the DL playing on turf the next few seasons.

 

[Silver Arrows]

No. Rogers would cheap the fuck out.

 

[zulux21]

yup but reyes' is only 48 mil owed over the next 2 years and a buyout.

it's only speculated reyes is included anyways, not confirmed.

edit: never mind i see it confirmed now.

 

[zroid]

what the fuck?!?!?!?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

BREAKING: Dinger traded to #Mets for cash considerations.

 

[Enron]

holy fuck at this. wow.

where am I?

 

[Silver Arrows]

BREAKING: Dinger traded to #Mets for cash considerations.

Los Mets

 

[Coldnoodle]

Is this like Clarkson trade territory?

I haven't been following baseball like I used to.

Mr. Met to be sent down to AAA then?

They don't have the money for a big name -- they're already only $5-6m under their ceiling, allegedly.

I'm not sure I like this move. I love they were able to get rid of Reyes, but...they need pitching. It doesn't matter if they're scoring 8 runs a game if their pitching staff is always giving up 10.

Buehrle is likely gone, thats quite a chunk of change

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale
The #Dodgers have let teams know that Yasiel Puig is available in the right deal, but teams showing much more interest in their prospects.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Essentially, yes. Except we get a player who might actually play.

Then again, this could be Michael Sanders.

 

[Future Foundation]

More from Rosenthal:

Deal as we know it right now: Tulo and LaTroy Hawkins to #BlueJays for Jose Reyes and minor leaguers. Do not know financial terms, if any.

 

[Dominican Power]

I thought it was a down year?

 

[Silver Arrows]

FUCKING DO IT JAYS

HNNNGHHH

Also, Riley Breckenridge would be a sad panda

 

[zroid]

if both Hoffman and Norris are gone imma cry

 

[Fenderputty]

I'm gonna have a hard time picturing tulo in anything but a Rockies uni

 

[3N16MA]

Tulo owed 99/5. He will play 117 games per season and earn his salary.

I love Reyes but he missed a ton of time

 

[Corran Horn]

aka someone is gonna get hurt and ruin the season

 

[sf2fanatic]

Meh.

 

[matthewwhatever]

He is, but it kind of sucks that he's probably gone, since he's been so reliable for them.

Essentially, yes. Except we get a player who might actually play.

Are you familiar with Tulo's injury history? The last full season he played was 2011, and even then he missed 20 games. The last time he played 150+ games was 2009.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

At least the Jays could take CarGo too. Rockies would sqaunder whatever the Jays gave them though.

 

[Malo]

Judge plus anyone not named Severino for Puig.

The jays are going all in on offense.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Yes, and that's why I put the might. And why I put this could turn into Michael Saunders, where the injury history which is quite relevant, is exacerbated in playing on turf.

 

[zulux21]

I'm really curious if Buehrle is going to call it quits now, or sign another 2-3 year contract to try to make sure he makes it into the HOF instead of just maybe getting into the hall of fame with a 60 WAR career and a perfect game, no hitter, and longest consecutive retired batter record (by a starting pitcher 2nd over all since Yusmeiro Petit broke the record).

plus that streak of 200+ innings pitched in the modern era is just amazing

 

[distantmantra]

Thank you based Zunino.

 

[Frozenprince]

AA just took the Rockies to the fucking woodshed if all he gave was a couple prospects and Reyes fucked contract for Tulo.

COME HOME JOSE. WE MISS YOU.

That's how AA survives, Frozen. He does shit like this.

Isn't Reyes owed far less money than Tulo though?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Tulo has actually been healthy the entire year, wonder how long THAT holds up.

If they got trash in return, please trade Arenado. He deserves better. Someone take him please, he needs to be on a winner

Sorry, we already have Donaldson

 

[zulux21]

reyes is owed about half the money of tulo 48 mil vs 102 or so mil

Sorry, we already have Donaldson

donaldson should just be traded to who ever the white sox are facing for the entire next season.

despite it being against my team I would love to see a player bat .650 with 200 home runs and 400 or so rbi lol. (I think his numbers do something stupid like that if you expand them across a whole season compared to what he did this season against the white sox as he absolutely murdered the white sox this year)

 

[matthewwhatever]

Tulo has a no-trade through 2020, and he's owed $100m until then. And he's even less durable than Reyes, AND he's moving to crappy turf.

 

[Nickdogmoneycash]

What is the thinking here for the Blue Jays? They already have the best offense in the league by a large margin.
