Their Top 10 came out recently. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2017...m1GLKC8x14eM.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Well, I guess we'll take Aaron Sanchez. Edit: well hey that farm isn't bad. Lots of youth though, would be severe wildcards but would love to have two guerreros in system. Edited November 18, 2016 by bmags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if McGuire could be a legitimate catcher in the majors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think Toronto absolutely has enough for Eaton. I'd require Vlad Guerrero Jr but I like Anthony Alford, Jon Harris, Angel Perdomo, and Rowdy Tellez. Getting a ML starter like Sanchez would be nice though.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 As is the case with the Dodgers, Blue Jays should also have 3 picks in the first 35 or so (if Bautista and Encarnacion sign elsewhere and Jays don't surrender other picks).

That could make them more likely to just pony up for Fowler. Give up their 1st rounder but they get 2 comp picks for their guys. Makes sense.

Eaton was a 6.2 WAR Gold Glove Right Fielder who gets on base and is under team control through 2020 The return would have to be overwhelming for me to move him They have some interesting players in their system, but many are considerably far away from being in the majors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppers312 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/520...n-as-of-targets Does TOR have any pieces we'd be interested in...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Urena SS, Reid-Foley SP, Alford OF, Guerrero Jr 3B(probably an OF or 1B eventually)? Just throwing some names out. Edited November 18, 2016 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Not sure why Toronto would empty their already mediocre system for a guy like Eaton when they could just sign Fowler and give up 1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunt Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Dont see any way the jays get that deal done with prospects alone. You'd need to probably start around Travis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to probably start around Travis. Travis and Stroman would start the package coming back to the Sox, plus another prospect or two Eaton is a gold glove, all start right fielder with plenty of control left While not untouchable at all, he would be very expensive to trade for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowler would cost much more financially than Eaton, but much less in terms of prospects. The Jays aren't the Red Sox or Dodgers, they don't have tons of depth to trade from anyway. I don't think this is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd require Vlad Guerrero Jr but I like Anthony Alford, Jon Harris, Angel Perdomo, and Rowdy Tellez. Getting a ML starter like Sanchez would be nice though. Many of the Toronto Blue Jays prospects have huge question marks and flaws to their games. Many scouts are worried about Vlad Jr. body by the time he reaches the majors. Good chance his swing and athletic ability will slow down as his body starts maturing. Rowdy Tellaz has plus power, but lacks in hitting. Tellaz has trouble catching up to elite velocity and strikeouts a ton. Position wise he's still up in the air, but is negative everywhere in the field. Alford is my favorite of all their prospects. Alford is still extremely raw and athletic. Again White Sox have done a poor job in the past with these type of players. But based on the past 2 years we are starting to get over the hump with developing some hitters in our system. Rather make a trade with team with a lot less questions with their prospects. Eaton was a 6.2 WAR last year. Way too valuable and also the right time to sell high. Edited November 18, 2016 by PolishPrince34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Jays opening day payroll in 2016 was $112.8 million. . Before picking up arbitration options, they already have $110 million just from signed contracts for 2017. Add in guys like Stroman who obviously will be picked up and they have a higher payroll guaranteed next year already than they have had since 2014 when they had a $132 million opening day payroll. Add $20 million/4 years for Fowler on top of that and they're at the highest payroll in team history, without any other moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
