i get speculating is fun but this Tatis shit is the most delusional stuff i've seen from our fanbase lol. not only is tatis just not going anywhere, our farm is weak and Tatis return package would cost an amount we couldn't even come up with and that's without counting in the fact about 24 other teams have a better farm system to play with and send to San Diego than us

[@shaneturner1809]

Normally, I'd agree. However, the Padres are in a bad way with their ownership and, by all reports, want to seriously cut payroll.

[@eshep71]

@low7005 Don't need a good farm if they like a few of our guys. We have desirable pieces for any trade available. When you think that 1500 of approx 5000 minor leaguers (165 max per team) are considered prospects and there is a general consensus top 100 across multiple publications - something isn't trustworthy. Not when a smaller % of them make it than realized. I'm not arguing we have a great farm by any means, but there's plenty of under value in the publications.

[@shawnfitzgerald818]

Tatis has a full no trade clause. To go from a team who came within a game of taking out dodgers to a last place team would prove he's legally insane. Plus as you say one of worst farm systems. Need to keep our heads out of clouds. David Robertson and Jose quintana and call it an offseason

[@ctownaqib]

Ben Nicholson-Smith was probably being sarcastic. The Jays don't have the prospect capital to get someone of that caliber.

[@allforoneandoneforall]

I would thro in Bo and a few prospects not kirk, unless we get a better catcher before the trade. This could work well for us if we get it done.

bo loperfido, francis, a couple of 20 year old prospects for tatis and cease ps: i like arreaz for the jays dh and leadoff spot.

[@dcooper1535]

Blue Jays signed veteran catcher Christian Bethancourt today. He will probably take Tyler Heineman's place as backup catcher.

[@smartenuphumans]

Your trade is too "video game" lol Any GM giving away that many players, that many prospects and starters in one deal for one player with that contract - would be laughed out the league. Trust that! DO NOT sleep on Lukes in the OF - he has done nothing but hit past few years, and gets over looked because of some stupid stigma of being an "old rookie" - same label given to Jose Batista and Edwin-E, till the Jays took a flyer on them. I said to a friend recently, I can see the Jays trading Bo before the season starts - but these guys are NOT the trade Jays need. FTJ's contract is a trap, and Francis will give you Cease's numbers this year, if not better. Shatkin's always on the hunt for these 3-4th starters with fat contracts - Hello Basshit! The rotation needs a legit #1, and nothing else - Glausman/Berrios are strong #2's (not #1's), Francis as your 4, Basshit as your 5, with Rodriguez and Bloss as your 6-7 starters ready to go. Manoah and Tiederman back around August, if all goes well.

[@martinarden9705]

Let's say we do the trade in the picture. As you said, who catches? Where does Tatis play, given that Springer plays RF? If Tatis plays RF, what happens to Springer? And who fills the Bowden Francis role in the rotation? Do we sign an FA? It doesn't make a lot of sense. I get the idea of taking on payroll from teams that are trying to give it up. I don't get it in this case.

[@The1966dolphins]

If that trade is doable we should get a fortune for vladdy

[@SteveNichol]

Jays pitching is good enough to seriously compete. Adding Scherz I think could only better an already above average rotation. Francis looks like a potential ace eventually, Gauz, Bass and Berios are all good solid starting pitchers and definitely pitched well enough last season to be a contending team BUT BUT BUT it would not matter if we had Randy Johnson, Roget Clemens and Nolan Ryan in their prime last year because the fact is the Toronto Blue Jays could not provide ANY consistent run support for any pitcher last year. The hitting was pathetic not even beginning to talk about that poor excuse for a bullpen they had! (just why has Ryan Yarbourogh not been resigned BTW)???? They need bats to support our starters and they need arms in the pen to keep the aging starters healthy through 162. This is just fact. Ya gotta lock up Vlad, go get Alonzo. I didn't like giving up that beautiful left handed swing of Horowìtz for a defensive infielder who I promise you will not have better offensive numbers than Spencer this year. I actually think Spencer Horowitz is going to eventually be an All Star in this league. Anyway there it is. We need run producing bats and a much stronger bullpen. If they don't take care of these areas, another 70+ wins again this year might be a little too optimistic I think. They should still be able to handle the White Sox but.......

[@conner.white.33]

What if we trade Davis Schneider to the Chicago White Sox for pitching depth?

[@tysontarajacksteit9590]

I would put Bo in and take Bowden Francis out

[@Flexb123]

Tatis Jr is really good friends with Vladdy and would love playing together. But considering Vlad isn't being locked up Tatis Jr wouldn't take the jays seriously knowing Vlad will be with another team soon.

[@SteveNichol]

Jays pitching, though not getting any younger and have managed to stay remarkably healthy is good enough to seriously compete.

SD is going ttrough ownership change, Tatis is on very long deal that doesn't match his very average production. It's not shocking he could be available and it probably wouldn't be as expensive as some think.

@Keadean Peter has another channel, yes. However he didn't leave because of that, Peter has a regular 9-5 job with TSN radio in Montreal, the other channel is part of his job. He was getting stretched too thin and decided to step away from this channel.

[@LBC1107]

If he were going to be available. 20 other teams would be in on him. Padres cant complete with them. They were the only team the Dodgers were worried about last years in the playoffs. Tattis is not going anywhere. We would have to make a 3 team deal. Would have to trade Bo. Can't trade kirk and replace him with a prospect. Need a veteran to run this rotation. Especially if you want to make a playoff run. If you bring in Max in the rotation. Need a veteran catcher. We once had a load of catchers. We let them all go.

[@alastairbuchanan7379]

subtract Francis and Kirk, add Bichette and it's a go. Springer becomes the leagues best paid bench warmer.

[@amgaines7036]

I think someone dumps salary there. I hope its us, but could see Detroit freeing up Baez to sign Bregman. If we could get Alcantara and send them Bassit, Springer and 5 prospects, that could work too. Lol
