Springer to the Blue Jays (and NOT Brantley)

[joncarlos]

6 years, 150mil for Springer. Toronto finally makes their big splash.

CF Springer
2B Biggio
SS Bichette
DH Teoscar
3B Vladito
LF Gurriel
1B Rowdy
RF Grichuk
C Jansen



That's a pretty good lineup. Not sure what they do if Vladdy can't play 3B, but he does look a lot skinnier.

[Sour Masher]

Vlad really does look like a new man, so I think they are going to try him back at 3b....especially if they sign Brantley, as is the rumor. I really don't know how they fit Brantley in, but he is a good player, so a good get, if they can afford him.

And Yates. The AL East is really heating up now. I'm not sure how Brantley would fit, but I'd suspect it'd cost Tellez the most PT if that happens.

mindblowing that the previous high water mark for a FA in Toronto was Russell Martin at 5/82.

Wonder if Mets will now go get JBJ or possibly trade for Kiermaier if they want to improve their defense

Nimmo, Alonso, Conforto, and Dom Smith are 4 guys that the Mets would like to play, and they've been told to plan for no DH. So I'm not sure they shell out 8 figures for a backup CF/injury insurance guy. Wonder what Pillar would cost?

in case anyone needs evidence ... October vs January

And now Brantley!

[Bene Futuis]

Sounds like they may land Michael Brantley, too.

Edit: Scooped!

Get them trash cans ready, Toronto!

you know, that cheating thing wasn't really all that bad ...

[Sour Masher]

And now Brantley!

I predict they trade Grichuk for pitching soon. The Marlins are a good match.

oh man I hope not. Happy to talk about Teoscar though

I'd love it if the Brewers could get Grichuk.

Haven't seen it posted here, but it looks like the Blue Jays are denying that they have signed Brantley. May be a formality, but it's interesting.

Astros re-signed Brantley to a two year $32M deal.
