Jays Roster Discussion

Well, I thought he was safe but I didn't see an angle that definitively showed his foot on the plate before the tag.
 
Stroman got trounced again. This is getting a little scary. With Estrada's wonky back and the prospect of Sanchez potentially moving back to the pen, this 2nd half is going to be interesting.
 
The Blue Jays sported their best w/l record (51-40) at the All-Star break this year, not seen since the 1992 season, the year in which they won their first of two World Series titles.  A potent of great things to come?

Rumours, rumours rumours.....the MLB trade deadline is fast approaching and the question is,  what will the Blue Jays do, if anything?

"Big Papi" David Ortiz, of the Boston Red Sox, has let it be known that the Jays Edwin Encarnacion would be welcome in Boston.
Encarnacion, who remains unsigned, and he let it be known (through his agent during this year's spring training), that he preferred signing a new contract at season's end.  With the way Encarnacion is playing, he'll be up for a big payday (unless Jays management has other plans).

What of the 35 year old Bautista who's having among his worst starts to his season, injuries and all?

This sounds like the title of a racially insensitive 90's sitcom.

What a failure that deal was for both teams.

Yeah. Obviously the year Saunders is having made it a smart move to sell high on Revere but Storen...well, we all saw it.
 
Hey, so, remember when signing Happ and not Price was a sure sign that the cheapskate Blue Jays didn't want to win? Fun times.

Just thought that this deserved a bump, that is all.
 
Blue Jays in first place in the A.L. East Division after a 9-1 drubbing of the Baltimore Orioles at the Rogers Centre yesterday afternoon.

The Jays scored seven runs in the fifth inning, while J.A. Happ, Jays' starting pitcher,  got the win.  Happ is now 14-3 on the year, which leaves him tied with four others in the league, leading In the win column.

Barry Davis is reporting that Franklin Morales will not be with the Jays in Houston and that he has been DFA'd or released.

Open roster spot, trade deadline approaching, hmm  ;)

More likely has something to do with Tulo's injury. Sounds like they're hoping he won't have to be placed on the DL, but, they'll need another infielder on the roster until he's good to go.

This should make Jays fans smile, Jesse Chavez has been traded to the Dodgers for starter Mike Bolsinger.

Not really something to sing about, as Bolsinger, in six games with the Dodgers, sports a 6.83 ERA.  He is both a starter and reliever (minors). 
Guess he's versatile.
 
Feldman,  on the other hand, is the real deal here.  His numbers speak for themselves -- 5 and 3 w/l record in five starts and a 2.90 ERA.  Switch him to a relief role and there he sported a 2.41 ERA.

Not bad for a player who has a lifetime 4.35 ERA (mostly in  starts).  Feldman brings experience where the Jays need it most, as he is a 12yr. veteran.
