why would he sign for one or two years? Teams are going to be breaking down his door with $200 million contracts.

You're right. I honestly don't know. I'm just hoping that AA can somehow talk him into a small contract if Rogers won't open their wallets for a larger one.

He'll likely still be offered huge contracts a year or two down the road, and he did re-sign in Tampa.

I don't think he ever signed an extension with Tampa. He can also hurt his elbow or shoulder in a year or two. With the money teams are going to be throwing around he's gonna take the most money on the table. It's not like Toronto is a small market/owner team, so why would he cut them a break?

Someone on talk radio said that he did, so that's where I got it from.

You're right, though. At the end of the day, I guess I just hope Rogers will fork over the money. We haven't had an Ace since Doc left and this team desperately needs one under control.

I really do feel bad for Reyes. For all his problems on the field, he's easily one of the most likable guys to play for this team, and he was happy in Toronto with his buddies EE and Bautista.

The Tulo trade was definitely a home run for us but he deserved better than being shipped away to a basement-dweller days before AA loaded up.

That's the possibilities you have to live with as an athlete. Unless you continue your play or can come up clutch like David Ortiz, then you can be traded. Especially when your defence is garbage like Jose's was.

Yep, it's a real shame. And I'm sure if it wasn't for the contract they'd have found a way to keep him somehow.

Ok. Se you there.
Does Bumgarner have some undiagnosed mental deficiency or something ? He's a boring twat that's playing on the second biggest market and still acts like,e a jackass.
Also no surprise he goes after. I origins that show emotion on the field. That's a no-no in his world. Always root for him to lose (unless he came to the Yankees of course)

Thank goodness the Angels only have one Trout

Greinke pitched a beastly game again, besides him (and Calhoun)


Also, yet another reminder why nobody likes Harper

I feel bad for him as well. Especially since people have been saying negative things about him since the trade.

He seemed like a really nice guy.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Picked up tickets for Price's first start on Monday vs Minnesota, all that was left was the outfield nosebleeds. Gonna be a full 50k there, no doubt.

Roster moves from #bluejays Kawasaki recalled. Tepera optioned. Carrera and Valencia DFA'd.

Valencia? WTF?

Odd...

edit: Apparently Revere is going to be an everyday player, not sure I like this. I just hope they don't decide to bat him leadoff everyday (he is today, presumably because Tulo is sitting). He's a good #9.

I bought my tickets on Tuesday night before the Price deal and there were a ton of tickets. My friend I just wanted to waste a holiday afternoon. Little did we know.

200 level row 2. Should be fun.

Tulo not in the lineup? :(

Revere leading off.

Why is Tulo sitting?
Click to expand...

Thankfully, he just has the day off. Not injured...yet.

I find it weird to see other Jays fans talking trash. They're still well back in the ALE, and even with Price the rotation is still less-than-impressive.

Now, if Stroman comes back in September...

Meh. This is true. I'd at least DH him.

Valencia getting DFA'd also stings. He came through. Though I do think Revere should be an everyday player.

Well, they can send Collabelo down instead of Valencia especially he has options left. It's really a stupid move.

Carrera has been playing pretty well as of late and has had some big hits. Valencia also hasn't been bad himself, from what I've seen.

I don't like them being DFAd. However, I'm not sure of who I would have chosen, because Colabello's bat is good.

Bringing Kawasaki up is for infield insurance, I guess, but I'd much rather have Carrera.

Yeah, I've never been there when the dome was full, one of the reasons I didn't care that seats were so far back. It's gonna be electric in there.

Yea, that's the thing. They have to keep Tulowitzki healthy.

edit: Early 90s Dome was incredible. They'd be losing 8-1 to the Twins and the place would be packed. Late 90s/00 Dome was depressing.

That's pretty stupid Lol. Hope the Pirates somehow get him, would be a perfect platoon partner with Pedro.

For as much skill as Madbum has, he seems to be really uppity about DA RULEZ OF DAH GAEM. Unlike true American hero Kershaw.
