But if you consider that the Yanks are only sure of keeping him for 2 months, how much could one reasonably expect another team to give up? And it's not like he's an A-lister.Damn, that was a shitty return for Happ. Those two project as fringe major leaguers at best.
Without a great rebound year next year, his tenure has been an epic fail.He probably has lost money, but he got the job by selling them of the fact he could make them money.
I expected to get more than he is worth. As a solid third line pitcher he is that final piece that could put you over the topBut if you consider that the Yanks are only sure of keeping him for 2 months, how much could one reasonably expect another team to give up? And it's not like he's an A-lister.
In fact, the Jays can re-sign Happ for next year and they still have the 2 prospects. The trade was probably fairly reasonable.
They should have gotten a young arm from the Yanks instead of McKinney who will never make it in the bigs. The Yanks are loaded with arms I would have asked for Chance Adams who projects as a mid rotation starter.I don't understand getting mediocre position players in return. We already have lots of mediocre position players. And we hae hot prospects as position players, guerrero, Bichette, jansen for example. Why are they not getting young strong healthy arms?
He's tied with "Shoeless" Joe Jackson at 11 consecutive games for a rookie.A bright note in anotherwise dismal season, is Gurriel who now has multiple hits in 11 consecutive games. The last time somebody had 12 was 83 years ago. However, even that is tempered by the fact that he got injured on his 3rd hit. I heard it was a knee contusion and an ankle sprain. No word on the degree of the injuries or how long he will be out.
He may have gotten hurt, but we got to see Nikki Huffman on tv for a while. Here's hoping there are more non-serious injuries before the season ends.A bright note in anotherwise dismal season, is Gurriel who now has multiple hits in 11 consecutive games.

Thanks for the info. Thank God you posted this otherwise, I don't think anyone would have known about this. Especially the people participating in thread about this very subject, despite the fact we have a blue jays thread where this could have been discussed.Osuna has been traded to the Astros for Ken Giles and 2 minor leaguers
The team has gotten significantly worse each year under shapeero and losing money hand over fist compared to when they had a contender.For all of us who thought 2017 was a forgettable year, 2018 turns out to be a disaster!
IMO you can add Martin to that group along with Diaz and SolarteFor all of us who thought 2017 was a forgettable year, 2018 turns out to be a disaster!
All that the BJ's have to do now is get rid of Tulo, Donaldson, Garcia, Estrada, Morales, Smoak, Clippard and Axworthy and they can start all over again... :apologetic:
I wonder what their shopping list look like now?

I had Martin on the list... I guess I accidentally edited him out...IMO you can add Martin to that group along with Diaz and Solarte
I know you don't like him, and neither did I when he first started. But I think rather highly of him now.The team has gotten significantly worse each year under shapeero and losing money hand over fist compared to when they had a contender.
I don't doubt that he is a smart guy.I know you don't like him, and neither did I when he first started. But I think rather highly of him now.
Certainly he is not responsible for all the injuries and the under-performance of the regulars who were here before he arrived.
He is, however, the consummate professional. He has a vision for the BJ's and it is not the same as yours... or mine?
Now that we can relax because they are not likely to contend in 2019, let's see what he can do. He is rebuilding from the ground up while putting a team on the field... not an easy thing to do if the expectation is to win now. His objective, I think, is to build a perennial contender...
