If it's just Norris+ I can deal with it
If it's Norris, Alford+ I'm going to need an advil

My cynicism is stronger than Tulowitzki's swing
I need confirmed playoff games before my cold Blue Jays heart can be warmed

Anthony Alford "likely" going to #Tigers in deal, source says.
liquid gel? or regular?
I always preach the long term view and advise against going all-in.... but this year the Jays should really go all-in. If only because it's so rare to see the ALE look so attainable, there's a good chance the division has a couple of monster competitors again in a year or so. May as well go for it now, especially as the roster ages anyway.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
I actually planned the World Series trip with my buddy after getting Lester and Shark.
Now look at this team.
Even with Price, the Jays can't stop the Royals juggernaut.

Big trade, but unless Price pitches every other day, still need pitching to make a deep run.
They may not be done yet.

When's the last time a .500 team had the best run differential in the league in late July?
Jays aren't are bad team, they are just unbelievable unlucky.

If Price only costs Norris and Pompey, that would be insane. Not that I don't have high hopes for both as future Jays, but Price is one of the few people worth renting.

What is Toronto doing? They're not even going to make the playoffs. ROLF!!!
if they were even half way closer to their pythagorean record I'd be so much more into this trade
he is worth that. but to a .500 team on July 30th 7 GB in the division? yeah, not sure about that

That's how I feel.
Still, Price in a Jays' uniform.
Edit: Matt Boyd is in the deal. Sportsnet still mentioning Alford. From Jeff Blair.
I guess he would start Sunday?

This is going to end badly for the Jays.
Tried to warn em

Basically he is WHO GIVES A FUCK HE IS NOT ALFORD!
Edit: I know the Jays have given up a lot this week, but they still have a core of Stroman, Sanchez and Osuna for the rotation. Plus Donaldson and Tulo on the left side of the infield.

No, they will use them for Cespedes.

A semi-promising low-level prospect.
This seems like a pretty decent deal for the Jays, if that's all they're giving up.
"For those of you that care, I've been waiting 4 season's for a move like this."
Pablo, Hanley, and Napoli package deal incoming!

I still want the Jays to get Leake. With Buerhle gone this off-season, they need someone durable and controllable.

Revenge for the Lackey trade!
