Non-tender deadline

[aarne13]

Raul Chavez is the only Jays non-tender. It leaves the Jays with no catchers on the 40-man. That could mean the Jays are on the verge of a trade, Roy Halladay to the Angels? or a trade for Doumit?


Jonny Gomes would be a goog pick up for someone......Jays...?
Other players of note, Atkins, Cust, ****, Garko

My only reasoning behind the sox attempting to move Lowell for Max Ramirez was to flip him to the Jays. You have to believe the Jays have something in mind, to not have a catcher on the 40 is crazy

I think the Jays have to have something pretty close to being done. With Pudge, Kendall, and Zaun, signed, Navarro tendered, and Torrealba seemingly close to signing, there aren't many starting options left.

With whom?

 

[aarne13]

Colorado?

 

[Superfractor]

Unfortunately, no. He declined as per Pudge-Nats money (6 million). Last thing I heard, he was on his way to New York (Mets meeting)....

So no JP Arencibia siting in the near future? The Jays are going to play cheap ball and he is cheap

I read somewhere that the Jays had interest in Mike Napoli from the Angels.

 

[aarne13]

Napoli is one of the players that have been rumored (along with Saunders, Aybar). Max Ramirez sounds like a good possibility coming from the BoSox.

Arencibia had a struggled last year, lots of K's and no walks but he did have some good stretches. Cito is not one to give some of the younger guys a shot and will instead go with a vet (see Millar). For now Arencibia seems to be a Sept/injury call-up unless he blisters the ball early on.

Which is laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

And I bet Accardo goes to the Pirates for Doumit. Since the Bucs already non-tendered Capps.

I don't think there are many teams that would hand the starting job to someone that is coming off a .235 avg and .280 obp in their first year in AAA. I assume they'll be looking to acquire someone via trade, and grab a veteran catcher to serve as a backup.

Yes, I know, thanks. But as a fan, it's still lame.

If they deal Doumit for Accardo straight up, it would be absolutely foolish. Jaramillo is not starter material, and with the release of Robinzon Diaz, the Pirates catching depth isn't much better than the Jays.

Selling low on Doumit just doesn't seem like a smart move to me. But then again, smart and the Pirates haven't gone together much in the last 2 decades.
