Just stubbled across this. Old news but found it hilarious considering what ended up happening.

" The Marlins are asking for each team's top two or three prospects in trade scenarios involving Johnson, Crasnick adds (Twitter links). It'd take Jurickson Profar-Travis d'Arnaud types to get talks moving and "a lot more" after that. "

And now the Jays are potentially going to trade their top two prospects for a 37 year old pitcher.

They're going for it. Like it or not.

Even after the trade the Jays will still have a good solid farm system. After about 20 years of irrelevance and hopelessness from the Blue Jays, my focus is more on the ability to contend more than what may be 3-4 years from now.

I think he has like 20 something goals in 30 something games in the AHL. I like Frattin, guy has the potential to be a good 2nd liner with about a 20 goal ceiling. Nothing great, but he goes to the nut and can score the odd goal. Glad to see him back and healthy.

He's played 46 games total (reg + playoffs) and has 31 goals.

lol Rochester must hate the Marlies lately, they've really got their number.

And if they don't win it all from this, which they likely won't, we'll have to wait even longer for them to be competitive again.

It's just an awful trade if it happens. It'd be a clear win for the Mets.

Go Seahawks!

you're a strange man...but in a good way!

What a bunch of bs. I wonder how many concussions Johnny Bower got while playing for $6k a year against the likes of JFJ Sr and working in a foundry in the off season. Anyway, I play real hockey. I am a 6'5" power forward so I don't have to worry about this horse hockey like the rest of you.

I dont agree. Even if they dont win it all, but compete by making the playoffs and winning a round or two then its a success. More specifically if that happens over the span of a few years. Becoming relevant again, and in contention, will attract the premier players down the road.

The Jays farm system, still have a strong core and are probably still near the top 10 in the league. (closer 10 than 5 IMO). The team itself has a lot of young parts and elements to it too. Remember JP our other top catching prospect at one time? If this doesnt pan out, they'll have the assets to tear it down and rebuild once again.

Its stunning how people forget that JPA was once a top prospect, that we still have Laurie, Rasmus, Gose, Morrow, Johnson, Encarnation, Romero etc etc all under 30. This is not an old team with just a tiny window to either win it all in one season or be deemed and doomed to failure. Sure Richardey is almost 40, but as a knuckleballer he should still have another 3-4 good years in him.

Moves like these will have a variety of opinions and views, none of which are wrong, but I would think after all weve endured as Jays fans and our irrelevance since the b2b WS where we went after the big names, this would be a welcome change.
