I don't hate that they didn't make a move today, but obviously I don't love it. Burnett and ACab or Prado were the upgrades I was looking for. Burnett is still out there and should clear waivers as the other teams who needed an arm got one. I imagine the Jays offered Sanchez but teams wanted Stroman.

Are there any packages where the Jays could have made an offer similar to what went down?
Gose for Milone? (instead of Fuld)
Bautista for Lester/Gomes (instead of Cespedes)
It's ironic that Joey Bats was whining about the lack of a trade, because which players are comparable to Cespedes??? The Jays have 2, and Bautista is one of them!
I like Gose as a 4th OF and substitute. I think they need Milone more, but I'm not sure Milone puts them over the top.

I doubt the Jays would've wanted to do either of those trades. Lawrie will be back fairly soon to address the 2B problem and it probably wouldn't have been wise to mortgage the future for one of the big name pitchers. It was probably smart for the Jays to stand pat, I don't think they have the pieces to go deep in the playoffs.

tough run for the jays, facing three Cy Young winners in 3 days ...
Scherzer (2013 winner) on Saturday - win in extra innings
Price (2012 winner) yesterday - win in extra innings - 19!
Felix (2014 winner) today - ???
okay, maybe that's a bit presumptuous, but not much.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

a tidbit from yesterday's 19-inning affair ...
Melky Cabrera reached eight times Sunday alone, going 3 for 5 with five walks to become the first player to reach eight-plus times in one game since Rod Carew had five hits and three walks for Minnesota on May 12, 1972It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

This article articulates my thoughts that the Jays need to start turning over their roster so their offense matches their future rotation of Stroman/Sanchez/Hitchison/Norris.
I remember the late 90s when we had Clemens/Hentgen/Halladay in the rotation but Cruz Jr., Stewart, Fernandez and Gonzalez on the field.

With Janssen likely to seek greener pastures in 2015, any thoughts on what we do at closer? In-house, Cecil is an option, but I think he's more of a Plan B.
List of pending FA established closers (* = 2015 option): JJohnson, CPerez, Robertson, KRod, Romo*, Soria*, Soriano*, Street*, Uehara
KRod makes sense with his AL past. Soria would work. I think Boston will resign Uehara, though I can also see them or NYY making a push for Janssen since he knows the AL East.
