Poaching for decades... They have changed there game plan the last few years and have some of the best prospects in baseball after shedding some more salary this off season they just need to as you say "poach" a couple in the coming years, maybe even a certain Silver Slugging Blue Jay

November 11, 20168 yr comment_234237 Torres is the one to watch leading the AFL in hitting as a 19 year old would be the youngest to do it.
November 11, 20168 yr comment_234240 Don't know much about him only that he came over in the Chapman, played A ball might need to follow a little more closely.
November 11, 20168 yr comment_234242 Yeah he is the one to watch. Cubs were set up the middle so could move but he is going to be really good.
November 11, 20168 yr comment_234364 blue jays sign DH kendrys morales to a 3 year 33m deal. Had around an OPS of 800 last year with 30 homers. almost 850 the previous year with 21 homers. Big bat, stays pretty healthy, not getting younger but a good replacement bat. The fact we brought him in and hes a DH only probably means we only keep 1 of bautista/EE. And probably EE, whose still a good 1st basemen when joey bats really needs to go to DH to extend what time he has left.

Don't think Bautista is going to come back anyways EE will come back if they give me want he wants, looks like a preemptive strike in case he leaves. Good signing over all IMO.

Good signing over all IMO. Pretty much. Tbh id rather cut bautista loose then give him a ton of cash. Its just too much risk. It would be great to have a real lead off hitter, then donaldson, then EE and morales hitting 4th. Blue jays also reportedly signed Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The 6th ranked international prospect cuban 2b. He has the tool set to play In field or out field but 2b is where hes played his pro ball in cuba. Hes 23, and supposed to start at AA as a 2b men.They gave him a 7 year 22m dollar deal. He swung the bat well in his last 2 years. His last year OPSing at an over 900 clip.
November 16, 20168 yr comment_235400 I really want Bautista to sign in Texas and then back peddle every day he's there
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237846 jays added steve pierce a right handed guy who mashes lefties. 2 years 12.5m might be a platoon player with smoak might be more. really good pick up.
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237864 Super utility guy can play every where except C CF and SS. Typical Jays cheap out with a bunch of pieces and not go and resign your power hitting middle of the line up bat.
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237876 Well, looks like my Blue Jays interest will top out at 2 years. What a shame. I like Donaldson. But the rest of this lineup is going to be meh
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237879 The Blue Jays have done so well filling Rogers Centre and there TV numbers were huge but there off season decisions could undo all that.
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237883 I'm willing to give them more time and see what the rest of the offseason holds. The arms are still going be really good next year...
December 5, 20168 yr comment_237884 I'm fine with them going back to sucking and people jumping off the bandwagon. Hate Rodgers.
December 23, 20168 yr comment_239952 Edwin signs 3 years 60 million with the Indians. Option for 4th year. So basically 4 yrs 80 million or basically what the Jays offered him months ago.
December 23, 20168 yr comment_240024 Blue Jays made a very good offer his agent rejected it and the Jays moved on signing other players, maybe they sign Bautista now which would be a mistake.

They turned the Jays down originally b/c they thought they could get more. The Jays moved on and spent that money elsewhere. By the time EE & and his agent realized they couldn't get more, the Jays money was gone and he had to go elsewhere. At least that's what Steve Phillips & Bruce Arthur are saying. Most of what I've read was that he wanted to be back. Seems like his agent misread the market and the Jays mgmt moved on too quickly.

Yeah, both sides made mistakes. Jays moved to quickly and might have overpaid for Morales, given the market. And EE misread the market and might have left money on the table.
