Seriously Jays fans?

Two nobodies for a guy who was a 6 WAR player last season.

Johnson either accepts arbitration and they get a better player out of it than Hill, or he doesn't accept and they get compensation back for him. There is basically no risk.

I'm more upset about losing Johnny Mac than anything else.

Oh I get it now. McDonald is one of those irrational team favorite players who are favorites for basically nothing they do on the field? He's like the Sam Fuld of the Jays?

He made a speech when Alomar's number was retired. He's the team mascot and also a fantastic defensive SS. Mac has also been good in the clutch this season when he's played.

In that his value is entirely in defense and he's the nicest-bestest dude ever? Yes.

Edit: Also forgot to mention that he has the same name as our first Prime Minister, so like if Sam Fuld was named George Washington. $1M of value right there.

McDonald is an awesome defensive SS. He's not much of a bat, though.

I'm just glad that AA values draft picks and possible upgrades on the field more than he does veteran leadership or some of that romantic garbage that doesn't help you win games. Wish he was GM of my team.

I get the reasoning. I'm just going to miss McDonald.

The Yankees, Dbacks, and Nationals are not the team that put the claim on Wandy.

#MysteryTeam is waiting in the wings! Amaro will get Ed Wade to pay 80% of Wandy's remaining salary.

As pointed out on DJF comments, since Jeroloman was called up, who's playing 2B tonight then? Encarnacion? Lawrie?

Edit: Durr, forgot McCoy played for this team.

Wandy will basically have 3/36 for whoever picks him up not including all the money Wade will be shoveling their way.

What exactly would people expect him to get if he was on the open market? Because 3/36 is exactly what I'm imagining considering the contracts guys like Ted Lilly have gotten.

Whoever claims him might be able to work out a really damn good trade if the Astros pick up a significant chunk of the salary.

never heard about the cat, apparently
The jays could potentally have a team that could win the division next year if players bounce back as they should.

The entire Seattle Mariners coaching staff and half the roster once played for the Indians.

Now you know why they suck so bad.

But half of the Indians line up used to play for the Tacoma Rainiers!

eh, still take him over AJ. He has just been letting up a ton of homers lately, which I guess is to be expected from a 2-pitch starter
