Two of the worst trades made in the majors in the last decade have to be Fisher for Sanchez and Biagini (the clip below is from Fisher's first game as a Jay i believe) and the Hap for McKinney and Drury (both are no longer Jays)



- winsix

My biggest peeve trade they made was the Donaldson trade. I don't care if the guy is pitching well right now, though it is a very welcome surprise.

It was still an awful trade. Trade a former MVP for a 27 year old minor leaguer that had never played in the majors and was heading for Tommy John surgery.

Especially since trading Donaldson was their plan the entire time and multiple highly respected reporters said that St. Louis offered Flaherty before the season started.

He's an embarrassment - the only reason he is still on the team is Atkins and Shapiro don't want to own up to trading two good pitchers for this sack of sh!t.
- winsix

He's shook. Just let a ball roll by him.

My dad keeps saying the same thing every time I talk to him about Fisher. They're trying not to lose face.

Lol..

I remember when I was the only one bumping Nylander trades, now it’s all the rage

Since I’m literally always right, I’m telling you’s, NO ONE WANTS NYLANDER. Especially on that contract. They will never get what the perceive to be fair value for him, they’ll have to retain half his salary or something.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Summer 2019 called, they want their Nylander hot take back.

Fwiw, I don’t need your credibility..

You keep tossing UG and Max (still better than Santo) comparisons around like I’m supposed to be insulted or something.. 😒

I’m not a fan of Willy, I was at first but he soured on me. You do you, I’ll do me.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Im not expecting nor do I care to insult you, I'm just trying to subtly let you know that you're acting like a petulant child and are capable of far better. 🤷‍♂️

But yes, you absolutely do you.

BUDDY!!! Up until now it was “nYlAnDeR hAs tHe bEsT cOnTraCt In dA lEaGuE”

Why all of a sudden change your mind???

Cause I’m right, that’s why. He is overpaid. Nice for you to finally admit it. You’s always come around eventually.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

So is Marner. We trading him too?

Trading Nylander is fine, for a top-4 Dman and a good one at that.

If that is not the return, then keep him. The idea that you can't barely give him away is beyond ridiculous.
- Aetherial

What about a decent defenseman and a high pick? The Ducks #6 could be a very good pick, Drysdale if he's there or Askarov..

I agree, the Donaldson trade was bad. This management team does not reward loyalty. Donaldson was a great Jay and should still be here.

Nylander for Ekblad. Liljegren, Johnsson, 1st for Parayko

Rielly-Parayko
Muzzin-Ekblad


Damn, that looks tasty.

I like it..

I don't disagree that I'd have liked for the Jays to keep him. But if the plan was indeed to move on, then you better damn well accept the trade offered of a young, top of the rotation type, pitcher.

Guaranteed you're not gonna get a better offer than that.

get it done dubas.

add a 4th to sweeten the deal

get it done dubas.

add a 4th if necessary

Maybe even Bracco. Yes, I’m willing to risk it all.

Bettman would decline the the trade because of Bracco being to good for this trade.

I would consider it, from a cap-savings point of view. I dont think it can be done though because that pick becomes way more valuable in the flat cap and the on-going uncertainty going forward.

i hated that they tried to milk Donaldson by waiting and waiting. He ended the previous year well if I remember correctly and instead of dealing him then they figured the trades would get hotter during the season. Absolutely backfired on them.

Despacito! Sounds like malarkey

Problem is/was that they held onto Donaldson for too long. The injuries piled up and his value decreased

That would be awesome..

Good Lord. This guy makes George Bell look like a gold Glover.

Absolutely. And it was foolish even at the time. No hindsight required.

Their plan from the get go was to trade him. They never even explored the option of keeping him around.

So since that was the plan, then why the poop wouldn't you take the young starting pitcher that (I think, don't remember) was one of the top pitching prospects in Baseball at the time? Pure stupidity not to.

Teoscar is one of the worst fielders in the MLB and he's making me miss his fielding.

Nobody out, man on second, and all they need to score is 16 runs to tie it in this last half inning.

I can feel the comeback brewing as I type this!

The Jays have made some really odd trades recently.. It seemed like there’s no rhyme or reason...

So is Marner. We trading him too?
- jribout

Yes,before Willy.

Bettman would decline the the trade because of Bracco being to good for this trade.
- dmnted

Keep Bracco.

Trade Korshkov.
