**2015 MLB Season Thread: This is how the chapter ends (2 Viewers)

22 years ago today (in preparation for the last time they made the playoffs) the Blue Jays traded top prospect Steve Karsay to Oakland for Rickey Henderson.

That 1993 Blue Jays team is my absolute favorite non-Ranger team ever. Mainly because of Henderson (my favorite non-Ranger of all time), and because of Ken Griffey, Jr MLB on Super Nintendo. Spent way too much time playing that game, first entering in every single name correctly into the game, then playing the Blue Jays to a 161-1 record (and WS sweep) and the Rangers to a 160-3 record (and WS sweep).

 
Jays trade 3 more left handed minor leaguers (only one if these guys could be considered a prospect) for Lowe. They've traded 6 lefties from the minors in the past two days :lmao:

11 minor league pitchers since the Donaldson deal.

Yeah but everyone outside the organization is higher on them than everyone inside the organization. So you basically gave up nothing. :mellow:
 
Devin Travis' week:

Jose Reyes traded, Travis becomes leadoff man for best offense in baseball

HR in first Atbat!

Hurts shoulder

Goes on DL

Loses leadoff spot to Ben Revere

I like seeing Toronto go all-in. This wasn't a structurally sound team expecting a few more years being playoff contenders. This could be their shot for the next five years. Go for it.

Yeah, I like it for them too. Plus, it's not like Norris is a sure thing. Most pitching prospects are not. He's probably around where people thought Kyle Drabek was a few years ago, who I think the Jays turned down trading for Greinke, IIRC.

Sure. But it's also not a sure thing that Toronto will even make the LCS. The odds are against it (IMO). It's a game of uncertainty.

Whatever the case may be, I would not mind TOR taking it down. I like Donaldson, I've been fantasy-gay for Bautista for years, everyone likes RA Dickey, etc. Way better than those ####-eater Royals IMO.

Yeah, that's not a sure thing either, but if you boost the chances from, let's say, 10% to 30%, I'd take it if I were a Jays' fan. They have a short window, so the odds won't be that favorable for awhile, even if Norris or another of the prospects that they traded hits.

Their odds of winning are nowhere near 30%. I think 10% would be very charitable.

 
Have there been many pitchers just coming off TJ surgery, like Wheeler, who were actually valuable trading chips at the deadline?

 
Translation: "I set the bar too high and then I ran out of time."

GunZ was right, this is entertaining.

ETA:

The SD players of note whose contracts are up this year are Upton The Greater, Ian Kennedy, and Will Venable.

ETA 2:

Pads are 7.5 games behind SF for the WC #2 spot. They would need to leap the D-Backs, Mets, Cubs and Giants.

Jonah Keri wrote this about the Gomez trade, interesting to see if trading pitching prospects and holding on to position prospects is a trend or just a coincidence.

Although the Brewers can’t claim any elite prospects in the trade, their ability to land two quality young hitters is impressive in its rarity. The pitching-stocked returns for Price and Johnny Cueto represent a far more common occurrence in the current offense-challenged environment.
