John from Cincinnati Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Sounds like Stroman pitched a fit in the clubhouse yesterday when he found out about the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Stroman deal is supporting my first thought when Atkins and Shapiro were brought in by the Blue Jay's to replace AA...

Hahaha, you have reminded me of a guy I used to play Fantasy with back in the early 1990s, he was the insurance agent to several of us in the league and one of those guys who thought he was particularly clever when of course he wasn't... Two years in a row Kent lucked out with first pick in the league. Year one = John Valentin, year two = yeah, you guessed it, Dante Bichette. Amazingly, he didn't finish last, that spot was occupied by a Latino gentleman named Will Sandoval who in a weird racial thing made sure that his team was 100% Latino. I recall trading him George Bell for Mike Piazza, much hilarity ensued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, year three he was pretty far down the ladder 8th or 9th out of 10, seems to me it some ridiculous pitcher whose name escapes me. The really hilarious thing is Kent would show for draft night with a couple of guides, a ream of print-outs and still manage to draft absolutely horrible teams while sitting there with a big smirk on his face like he'd just won the lottery. Oh, another thing about Kent, he had a garage filled with every conceivable exercise device that you've ever seen marketed on tv, need I add that all were still in the box.

Gonzo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) According to the Twin Cities media, the Twins asked the Mets about Noah Syndergaard and the Mets wanted Byron Buxton as a part of any potential trade. The Twins laughed. As they should. Edited July 30, 2019 by Gonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they should. like Brian Cashman rejecting any offer including Gleyber Torres CBS reported Miguel Andujar is no longer untouchable and Clint Frazier is also available from the Yankees. Teams have also been asking about 20 y/o RHP prospect Deivi Garcia, who is at AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Our league was weekend only, which added a wrinkle, you really had to be on top of pitching rotations in order to get three of your five starters going.

I'm sure he's a fun guy to be around and a good teammate. No one likes to lose but when you are breaking in a bunch of kids its unavoidable. He should cram it and not create Twitter PR nightmares. Bloody hell complaining in spring training that the Jays aren't signing a guy like Carlos Gomez. Stick to pitching Marcus you are good at that. I wonder what other deals were out there or were people buying low. They had to trade him though since they keep missing getting returns on guys since despite his posturing he wasn't coming back and Toronto's luck he would have murdered his elbow if he had one more start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 My favourite Stroman tweet of all time was him getting salty because nobody personally informed him that Ryan Goins of all people was going to be released. Surely they should be consulting him every time they make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
