Jays should give Bourn a one year deal

At this point, any interest in Bourn may only give Boros some ammo to use for his eventual signing in Texas. What would you offer to Bourn on a 3 yr deal for the Jays?

I would offer a 3 yr deal max. But this is what AA could do in that situation, sign Bourn, and then trade Rasmus. Bourn hits for percentage and can run well. Rasmus could net us something in return. If Gaby Sanchez got some return on the market, Rasmus is bound to bring something back.

Cabrera in the news again with the Peds. thing. Him and a Rod 2 peas in a pod. I hope Melky gets another 50 games. Hate cheaters who try to actually try to cover it up like he did. And now more ****.

Dump him, sign Bourne and move Rasmus to LF.

His last affiliation/purchase/whateveryouwannacallit with that company was Dec 21, 2011...

We know he cheated, and now you want him suspended again because it leaked where he got those PED's?

Yeah, I'm sure he was juicing while serving his suspension for juicing.

[wagnall]

Ya I know you can't suspend him again and he paid his dues, just fustrated with guys who cheat. Just a pet peave with me.

He may actually turn out to be 1 of the best moves this off season.....

You down in Miami Wag? I'm floating back and forth with Sarasota.

[wagnall]

Ya, will be coming back for the home openner. Lost touch here for a while. Can't wait till season starts.

[town123]

I love you man.

lol

Hate to burst your bubble but if you wanna get rid of Melky for drug use, you probably have to get rid of half the Jays roster and any roster in baseball.

[wagnall]

You are probably right, just had a brain freeze there. I vented, now I'm good with it. On to the openner....

Does Rogers (and their partners, granted) all of a sudden making it rain on their joke of a basketball franchise not leave a slightly bitter taste in anyone's mouth? Obviously they did a lot this year, but that was after penny pinching on the Jays for 5 seasons. I dunno, probably just me.

[LechWalesa]

Well were they supposed to hand Ricciardi a blank cheque or was AA supposed to have 120 million dollar roster right off the bat? I agree that Rogers probably should have sunk more money into the team last year... but now in hindsight it's for the best that they didn't.

Rogers did give them money. Anthopoulos didn't want it

Raptors are still a young franchise, the Jays haven't been to the playoffs longer then the Raptors have even been around. The Jays quite frankly have been more of a joke. As a Raptor fan and Blue Jay fan, I'm just glad they are finally showing signs of commitment of putting a better product out for the fans.
