Fire John Gibbons: Official Toronto Blue Jays 2015 Thread

[Ohene]

fukk Rogers man. Rogers has the Money for Price. Ugh..

..Goes and pays Rogers bill.

not sure if I'd bring JA Happ back to the AL...after a contract year especially but meh...we'll see.
I aint mad at them for skipping out on Price.

if the Jays had any sense they'd go hard as fukk for Chapman though.

Even Arizona diamondbacks ain't afraid to spend 30mill on a pitcher

Eddie sets a deadline

The Toronto Blue Jays have until spring training to negotiate a contract extension beyond 2016 with Edwin Encarnacion or else the star slugger intends to test free agency, according to industry sources.

Encarnacion signed a $27-million, three-year contract that included a $10-million option that covers 2016 back in July 2012, a deal negotiated in-season and signed during the all-star break. It’s believed the star slugger doesn’t want to deal with the process while playing this time.

The sides are expected to meet during this week’s winter meetings, according to sources, now that the Blue Jays having accomplished most of their heavy lifting this winter. New general manager Ross Atkins said Friday that the search for “complementary” pieces continues.

Can he leverage fan pressure into a massive contract or is this it for Eddie?

 

[MikelArteta]

Jays will blow this and trade Edwin for some draft picks and a crappy bullpen pitcher.

Just give Edwin 3 years 55 mill and same with Jose

Cheap ass friggin blue jays

Enjoy colabello at 1b and Michael Saunders in right

Honestly wouldnt mind Colabello at first but we already re signed Smoak...This team is blowing ALOT of the momentum it had last season...

 

[MikelArteta]

Rogers makes so much money from the jays, so much .

Teams are getting like 60 mill a year from their regional TV deal. Jays are caking but acting like a cheap cincy reds

Even if you're projected to fall short of the playoffs next year, blowing it up now wouldn't be wise. Most of your farm system is 2-3 years away from the majors, plus y'all already resigned Estrada. Might as well make Bautista a lifetime Jay, and try to compete with an aging roster like the Phillies from 3-4 years ago. Go get another mid-level starter and hopefully fukk around and be in the pennant race next September.

One of Bautista or Encarnacion or both could get dealt this off season....The issue is nobody knows which way Shapiro is going here...
Theyre talking now about dealing Ben Revere for bullpen help and going with a Saunders/Pompey tandem in LF...

It feels like hes about to blow up the entire team that AA built...Im anticipating next years season more than the NBA ASG right now...if deals Jose or Edwin and Revere and this team comes in spring training looking alot lighter it wont take long for the fanbase and media to turn on management if they start off slow...You can already see the writers and media here trying to spin everything to spare some of the backlash thats coming...

 

[Miggs]

Fans are already threatening to cut Rogers services if they trade Bautista or dont re sign him....

Shapiro feeling the flames and its December

Gotta love the pull sports has over people. Put up with crap services at unreasonable prices, but threaten the jays and it's deuces.

 

[MikelArteta]

Jays lost me brehs, Edwin and Jose are gone after this year or maybe even sooner.

Shapiro is trash.

Rogers are horrible owners back to 15k fans in that concrete stadium I'm done with the jays

 

[MikelArteta]

Edwin and Jose should both be signed
Give them 4 years 75-80 mill

Instead we gonna wake up one day with Edwin traded for some minor league prospects who won't amount to anything

Robbers doesn't get it, Rogers centre will be back to 12k on a Wed night, they don't have the pull the leafs or even the raptors have, no winners we ain't showing up.

We were two games away from a world series and there blowing it up

Rogers sucks
