Jays acquire Price

[bondon]

Not to mention we KNOW Price can pitch in the AL East.

[The Black Panther]

Pls get one more starter

Why? If they do well, a ridiculous left side in Donaldson and Tulo, a decent rotation that’s young, and their hitting would be quite the lure. If Toronto pays enough there’s a good chance he can stay. And if he doesn’t the pitching market is big next yr.

Just dont see the Jays giving a long term deal to a SP. They usually dont,,, 4 yrs maybe 5 max.

Last yr he pitched 8innings, 5hits, 2er, 6SO and only 31batters faced. Keeping the Orioles to under 3runs is really good.

SSS - Small Sample Size.

We all know he is good.

At the end of the day, he's an upgrade to anything in that rotation right now. I am glad they went out and got him. At least they can't say AA sat on his ass, pulling his pud at the trade deadline this year.

[Big Ev]

yeah it was a good trade. Now get rid of Bautista

[GinFizz]

Let's not forget that Bautista and EE contracts expire next year. Signing Price would give them the ability to have a max-year with everyone available, then make a decision at this time next year on what to do with the core group. It's only a one-year business decision to spend max money. Would still have Donaldson and Tulo as your cornerstones just as it was Bautista and EE last year.

I think they sign him.

good point. Ricky romero is off the books next year..

Let's not forget that Bautista and EE contracts expire next year.

I think they sign him.

the Jays will exercise those two options. I believe Bautista is $14M and EE $10M

Sad to see Norris go, has a lot of potential. But love these moves. I wanna see Blue Jays playoff baseball more then anything in sports(besides Oilers playoffs)
And like bondo said, they still have Stroman and Sanchez as young arms.

just wait for Montreal expos playoffs

[GoNucks]

Not a huge Jays fan, but nice to see they are giving fans the excitement of adding Tulo & Price!

Is BJ Ryan off the books yet? Thomas? lol

Ricky Romero is the biggest one hit wonder in the history of baseball. Amazing how far and how quickly that guy fell from grace.

Playoffs rotation: Price, Dickey, Buerhle, Hutch (assuming they drop to a 4man unit) not bad...

I like that order too. Split up the 2 lefties. I think I prefer Dickey 2nd to have his knuckler right after Price. Hutch is a disaster on the road too.

Price: 3.13 career ERA. In the American league.
That's impressive.

estrada is pretty good man. He's been better than hutch as a whole. Hutch is great at home (2.21era) but terrible away (9era). if they can schedule hutch at home, that's massive. Estrada is like 3.9 on the road.

[The Black Panther]

This is so true. Theirs a tendancy to forget that when thinking about giving up Norris and Hoff.

Today would be Price’s prep day for his regularly schedule Sunday start. If he’s at todays game (99% chance he will be) he’ll be starting Sunday. Only way I see him not getting to Toronto this AM would be Work Visa issues, and/or delayed flights. But the weather is nice and Tulo had no issue with any visa (if baseball even is the same as the NHL).

I typed this up, and then checked David Price’s twitter. He’s driving from Detroit to Toronto. And he blew a tire on his way here lol. AA better have that big garbage bag of popcorn waiting for him in the dressing room like he asked

Somewhere on the road from greater Detroit to Toronto, the automobile of new Blue Jays left-hander David Price encountered significant tire trouble. To make matters worse, Price's own engine is having digestive issues. Price used Twitter to report from the road:
