Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
I like it more than Machado.
Carson Kelly seems to be the Jays' top prospect interest, correct?
Gyorko + cash and Kelly for Donaldson???

Kelly for Donaldson straight up. Donaldson has a year left. Kelly is cost-controlled for his prime years and decent catchers are rare. We assume all the cash. Won’t happen, but I wouldn’t feel great about trading Kelly for one year of anyone.Big Amoco Sign wrote:I like it more than Machado.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
Gyorko would probably be needed for them to consider it. They want to compete. Gyorko minimizes the damage.
Maybe they throw in a reliever?

The Red Sox are going to add JD Martinez, the Yankees have added Stanton, both teams are going to win 95 games and the freaking Blue Jays are trying to compete with an assortment of Lorenzo Cain, Jay Bruce and CarGo. Give it. The [expletive]. Up.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
Kelly for Donaldson straight up makes more sense the longer I think about it.
Plug top prospect Vlad Jr. at 3B and Kelly at C and trade Martin to a catch-needy contender.
Cardinals have two catchers in the org that will be ready when Yadi actually goes. Kelly sitting around for 2018 makes no sense for the Cardinals. Plus he may not even be good. Looked bad last year. Sell high.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
Gonna have to give them a pitcher, too, and probably another piece or 2. They don't want to move him, so you'll have to overwhelm them. Bad use of resources, if you ask me.Big Amoco Sign wrote:Kelly for Donaldson straight up makes more sense the longer I think about it.

Kelly as the backup in '18 is fine. Yadi will almost certainly miss some games due to injury.

Also funny: the Red Sox pre-emptively cutting themselves out of the Harper/Machado sweepstakes next year and making it harder to extend their key young players.Farewell Friends wrote:The Red Sox are going to add JD Martinez, the Yankees have added Stanton, both teams are going to win 95 games and the freaking Blue Jays are trying to compete with an assortment of Lorenzo Cain, Jay Bruce and CarGo.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
I never thought about this way. It sounds like they're going to give $350 million to Martinez and Hosmer.JL21 wrote:Also funny: the Red Sox pre-emptively cutting themselves out of the Harper/Machado sweepstakes next year and making it harder to extend their key young players.

Are they still paying Sandoval to eat cheeseburgers?Farewell Friends wrote:I never thought about this way.
