I don't watch the Jays religiously like I used to in the past. But, I can't get this thing out of my head that why can't J.Votto play for the Jays? Get rid of Morales and replace him with Votto. Votto can play first and DH. Need to find powers somehow to match with the bronx bombers for next season
The word on Votto is he has an attitude problem and is somewhat of a clubhouse cancer.

I'm not sure if thats true, but thats the rumor

Rumour by who, exactly?

Joey Votto has full no trade protection, and has shown no desire to leave Cincinnati.
When a sports franchise is for sale, they tend to eliminate or at least reduce large obligations.
Why would the Blue Jays (Rogers) take on at minimum $157,000,000 (at most, $170,000,000) in obligations over the next 7 seasons?

Because, if they sell, then to get maximum return they have to sell it as a going concern rather than as parts in a basket that the buyer has to piece together... which is the way they once used to sell stolen bikes (do they still do that?)! :nod:

Yanks have landed Stanton. Now looking at arms. Bosox are going hard after JD Martinez. And our Jays are mulling over CC Fucking Sabathia.

Get the fuck out of here, Shapiro and Atkins.

MLSE just bought the Argonauts. Would it make sense for them to own the Jays in the near future? Teachers were mentioned as a potential new owner in the news today.

I also heard a report that the Yankees are considering acquiring Machado from the Orioles.

Yesterday on the fan 590, Atkins and Shapiro were on the right after one another. They were both asked the same question regarding the Jays future. One says they still "want to be competitive" and the other says "a soft re-set is a consideration"...lol.

Well, I'm glad that's cleared up now.

Even by the Marlins standard as a 'pawn shop' Jays cannot get any 'good value' players from that organization! Last I heard the Jays were spotted at a recycling dump(looking for 'good' players) on their way out of Orlando. LOL

Marlins wanted Vlad Jr and Bichette for Ozuna.
And they're asking for Bichette + extras for Yellich

Jays have a deep prospect pool but with too many guys years away from the majors. So in trade talks it's kinda difficult to make things work if everyone is asking for the BIG TWO. They are both very close to MLB-ready which is what every team is looking for. Many teams are trying accelerated rebuild-retooling these days, they don't want to wait 5 years to rebuild and lose fans along the way.
