Blue Jays 2012-13 free agency and off-season thread 2.0

Shi Davidi suggested that if we were to go after Dickey, AA would likely expand the deal. Similarly to how the Marlins deal began with just Johnson. Although I obviously wouldnt expect another 12 player blockbuster if something were to happen.

I don't like many other players from the Mets.

Unless we completely fleece them of their 'good' players.

@TheGarfoose
JP Arencibia tells Blair, Campbell and I that he'll be day one starter. Sure of it. Has been "talked to". Not worried about being traded.

Uhh, what's the upside in telling ANY player that in November/December? There's literally zero, right?

[JermanJaysFan]

Yeah...we've been connected to Niese before, but I can't see us doubling down on both him AND Dickey. Duda as a buy-low lefty bat? But he doesn't really fit...

[Toxeryll]

i hope we go after niese instead of dickey

[the_jon]

Are we the AL East champs yet?

Just about...
Just need a few more bad FA signing by the Soxs and Yanks and it's ours.

Seriously...how could the tanks not see this coming...saw it the day they extended ARod...maybe the dumbest thing in baseball ever.

We're ready to compete now.

Yep pretty much. No idea how anyone can't be happy with our offseason.... If we do nothing else its still way more than I expected.

[2009mvp]

^^Well yeah, but they're so close to being something special. As amazing as that trade was, I can't say I wouldn't be a little bit disappointed if they can't upgrade at the DH spot with 3 months left before spring training. We're not talking about a spot that needs a lot of dollars thrown at it either, not if you can get creative.

#bluejays GM Anthopoulos on JPA trade speculation: "I haven't promised anyone anything." He added the rumours "bother me a little bit."

What the hell JP

[JMac4PM]

I remember reading on here that the jays wanted to bring back 1 of frasor or lyon... is that still a possibility?

[Toxeryll]

What the hell JP

hahaha

Dan Haren signs a 1-year $13M contract with the Nats according to Rosenthal. I would have liked him here
