Hill to Dodgers, Ervin Santana rumours... no thanks.
Liriano owed a bunch of cash?Apparently Liriano, Harold Ramirez (Pirates #9 prospect) and something else for Hutchison.
To open? You mean bullpen?Liriano being brought in likely means Sanchez to open.
As a Pirates fan all I can say is "ugh". Giving up Ramirez is acceptable but adding in McGuire is not. YuckYeah Sanchez to pen confirmed.
Surprisingly, Jays got two of Pirates top 10 prospects (Reese McGuire, Harold Ramirez) with Liriano for Hutchison.
Giving up anything for Hutch is "ugh". On a good day, he's a 5th starter. Shocked they got anything for him.As a Pirates fan all I can say is "ugh". Giving up Ramirez is acceptable but adding in McGuire is not. Yuck
Hutch still has potential, good to see them throwing that Rogers money around though and essentially buying a couple prospects. Hopefully a sign of things to come.Giving up anything for Hutch is "ugh". On a good day, he's a 5th starter. Shocked they got anything for him.
Jays strike out 61 times in a 4 game series, setting a new MLB record. Still somehow take 3 of 4 and once again pull even with Baltimore.
Who had J.A. Happ at 15 wins on August 4th?
Also, Sanchez possibly not going to the bullpen now..
Getting close to a full season worth of plate appearances now between 2015/2016, Devon Travis has a 296/346/476 career slash line. Anthony Gose is fighting managers and back in Double-A. Pretty nice deal that one.
He has a game winning home run, two leadoff home runs and now a 4-hit game in the 4 days since I posted this.Getting close to a full season worth of plate appearances now between 2015/2016, Devon Travis has a 296/346/476 career slash line.

So, I know Saunders and Bautista are free agents after the season, but priority #1, 2 and 3 this offseason needs to be getting dump trucks upon dump trucks full of cash to Edwin to keep him here.
Anyone disagree?
God they're terrible. Guaranteed rally killers every time.Bautista
And please take Smoak and Upton with you...
I just came in to post something along these lines. Godawful. Add Thole and you basically have 3 easy outs.God they're terrible. Guaranteed rally killers every time.
I'd rather see Barney/Goins/Carerra DH'ing. Just painful to watch.I just came in to post something along these lines. Godawful. Add Thole and you basically have 3 easy outs.
Why, in the world, did toronto extend smoak?
Alternate theory: sac bunting is always stupid.Runner on first, no outs, down a run.
You deserve to lose when you don't have Travis bunt the runner over.
The 'don't give up outs camp' is cute when they think it's relevant for all 27 of themAlternate theory: sac bunting is always stupid.
You're assuming Travis gets the bunt down which is far from a sure thing. He's been the best contact guy on the team, so I'm willing to take a chance he puts the ball in play.The 'don't give up outs camp' is cute when they think it's relevant for all 27 of them
Don't worry. That fat hillbilly they had replacing Zaun this weekend told us the Jays have the best bullpen in the leagueFkin Cecil
In the playoffs no Dickey/Thole. Likely have both till then though.Cliff Clavin said:Navarro back!!! No more Thole!!!! I hope...
