MONSTER - Josh Johnson/Buehrle/Reyes to TOR For Alvarez/Escobar/Hechavarria/Nicolino/Marisnick

[Jaypers]

Wow.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Source: #BlueJays on verge of acquiring Josh Johnson from #Marlins. Deal could be even larger than that.

 

[Jaypers]

And there's more.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Buerhle headed to #BlueJays along with Josh Johnson, sources tell me and @jonmorosi.

Wonder how many Jays prospects are involved.

 

[Pine Tar]

Wow that is a big deal for the Jays. I love the Marlins. Steal money from the people of Florida and then get the new stadium and then dump the money you spent on the players.

And if this happens for JJ he will most likely not be in Chicago this weekend for the Sun-Times card show

Yunel Escobar and Hechavarria part of package going from #BlueJays to #Marlins. Monster deal.

If these are the top two guys involved, the Marlins are getting robbed blind. There better be more. A lot more.

 

[Hallsgator]

Jose Reyes to the BJs too

 

[JoshHamilton]

Eat a dick, Loria

The Marlins don't care and the 2013 season will be a perfect example of that.

 

[Jaypers]

Alert! Alert! Prospect sighting.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi

Well that's something, Will.

 

[Jaypers]

It just keeps getting bigger, guys.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Confirmed: Reyes going to #BlueJays. Henderson Alvarez also going to #Marlins

 

[mredsox89]

Buck, Bonifacio, Reyes, Buerhle, Johnson to Toronto

Alvarez, Nicolino, Escobar, Hechaveria, Marisnick and likely more to Miami

Looks like the Jays, at minimum, gave up #'s 2, 5, and 8 on their BA top 10 prospects list

 

[Jaypers]

WOW!!!! Who knew he was a pitcher?

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN
Jake Marisnick, P, is one of the players going to Marlins...

 

[All The Hype]

Wow, interesting to see the Blue Jays make such a big move. You don't see them making deals like this very often.

Figured he had to be in that deal

 

[tropicaltwinsfan]

This is just insane. I get trading away JJ (and I was kind of hoping he'd go to the Twins!) but trading all those guys is insane!

What free agent will want to sign with the Marlins knowing they'll probably just dump them after a year? Why on earth would Stanton want to sign a new contract there?

 

[HPC]

I'd be pissed if I was a Marlins fan

 

[clarkzac]

I'd be pissed if I was a Marlins fan

The Marlins have fans? :lol:

 

[aarne13]

Josh Johnson Headed to the Blue Jays?

And I thought that the Izturis signing was going to be the biggest deal for the Jays.....

Chispas!

 

[rum151man]

The Marlins don't care and the 2013 season will be a perfect example of that.

2012 was already an example of that too

 

[scotty216brs]

Crazy....gotta love the unexpected off-season trades of this caliber.

 

[rum151man]

The Marlins should just fill their daily home game rosters with fans. do a drawing every day for lucky fans to compete against major league rosters. only way they can get people to come to the games.....
