And there will be lots of top end FA starters this offseason - the Jays can't do everything now, they're trying to get really talented assets right now, even if it's not a need so that it gives them more flexibility in the offseason
I've said for months even if they do nothing and play out the season they are going to be way better next year than they will this season. There are youngsters ready to jump and FA's to be spent on. That should be the goal.

Of course, AA is fighting for his job so that complicates things.

If I'm Drew Storen, I'd be pissed - they've been jerking him around way too often - it makes their bullpen better but I wouldn't be happy if I was him

I don't know, better check with Joey Bats first, he might start crying to reporters again if he doesn't like the trade.

That was bullshit brought on by the SN reporter talking about "body language", who later apologized.

Maybe Rogers should bring in some baseball people who aren't completely fucking braindead. Their roster for Jays coverage is barely qualified to cover high school track.

Sounds like a job for Cathal Kelly :D

/I can understand that Bautista is upset that a good friend of his was just traded, but in my opinion he needs to be smarter with the media. Last year, he was moaning that the Jays did nothing at the trade deadline (and justifiably so), this year AA does something to upgrade the team and he's still upset.

True, but he's just stating what everybody's thinking (this team needs some pitching - fast). Donaldson did the same thing a few months back with his "this is the get it done league" comment.

Oh, and for the record, I've hated the Dodgers since the fall of 1981...

What effing drives me nuts is they could make this move (I think it's mediocre honestly) because money is no issue. They can prey on a team that wants to shed salary, offer crap prospects, and get it done because they're willing and able to take on all/most of the money. It's just a farce.

What effing drives me nuts is all of the same should be said about the Mets but their owners got swindled out of hundreds of millions of dollars and now they use the team purely for profit purposes and don't invest any money back into it. The biggest small market team out there.

Why's it a farce? They have the money, they can spend it as they wish. Giants have won 3 WS in 5 years with payrolls that ranked 10th, 8th and 7th, while the Dodgers have been in the top 5 payrolls since 2011 and have exactly 1 playoff series win in that time.
