As per Shi Davidi, the trade will probably take another day or two before going through.

I can see Boni/Maicer splitting time at 2B with Boni getting some starts in the OF too.
Sure they gave up some defense in Escobar (and Hechavarria!), but with Reyes you're also gaining more runs per game.
Besides, it's the Marlins. Give them a couple of years and they'll probably give everyone right back to us :P

Ys we are giving up a better defender at the SS position, but come on here.. Reyes is a much better hitter, base runner, and a number 1 hitter to boot............
We are gaining a player who lead the NL in batting just 1 year ago. And to top it all off, we just got a number 1 and number 2 pitcher in this deal.. As of right now, we robbed the Marlins.. (the prospects we gave up will be good down the road)
This puts less pressure on Morrow and Romero.. This also gives Bautista and Encarcion someone on base to knock in when they are up, unlike last season..

As optimistiic as I am about this situation who else is ready for mid-July when Johnson, Morrow and Reyes are all hurt, the team is at least 5 back in the division race and everyone is calling for AA's head?
I'm also not a huge fan of Josh Johnson becoming a free agent after next season.. And his agent has already stated that his client would be a fool to accept a extension from the BlueJays next season..Originally Posted by metaldude26
I just hope he plays like a stud and gets us into the playoffs again..

Given team's propensity for overpaying for starters regardless of injury status/history I'm inclined to agree with Johnson's agent. Johnson could go down, miss the entire year and still get just about as much money in free agency as he could get from the Jays right now after the down year he had.
If Johnson goes on to have a great year then he's looking at a huge bump in value.
Personally, I hope he just stays healthy this year and can help the team play some meaningful game sin September. I'm not putting playoffs or bust expectations on this team. Too much can go wrong even when you have a ton of talent. As big as this trade is for the Jays their biggest move is yet to come. They still need to bring in a quality manager and establish some real leadership in the clubhouse.
Hilarious video lol, for some reason has Kelly Johnson in it...but whatever

Trade approved, this wasn't about making the Marlins sweat, it was about making the Jays sweat.
If this deal was between the Marlins and Yankees, it would've been approved immediately after the physical's were completed.

Well as per usual, and something most people should have expected, the Jays are crap. I can't believe how underrated the Sox were too.
The Jays traded for a bunch of underachieving, injury prone players, and a knuckleballer who had a career year in his 40's. There's spending money and spending money wisely. The Jays didn't. They need to purge these guys as the Sox did last year (Crawford, Beckett, Gonzalez).
Pretty easy for you to say now though....I didn't see you post about it when it happened.

One reason they are even more crap then I expected is that Brett Lawrie and JC Arencibia are awful.
.............................my bad
No worries. I wanted to see the Jays make the playoffs too.
The Tyler Seguin of baseball
The Jays make me sick and I can't even stand to watch (can't even make it through a game anymore).
AA will never live this one down and PLEASE don't tell me how they've been unlucky with injuries.....they traded for guys who have horrible histories of injuries and a pitcher who's at retirement age!! Gamble....fail....of the epic variety and now over half of the top prospects are gone.....WTF!!!!!
JJ is good as gone and the Jays will be lucky to get anything for him
Ditto Buehrle who wasn't happy with Toronto from the get go.
Bonifaco?!? Barely a major leaguer
Reyes is going to end up being the only player of substance the Jays landed in this fiasco by next season
