More Fallout from the Duquette mess: Troy Tulowitzki

[25 Nuggets]

It just keeps getting better and better. Here's a tidbit I read from CBS Sports:

Toronto Blue Jays News

Toronto "hit a home run" with its moves everyone agrees. Good thing, too, it didn't give up Jeff Hoffman to get Orioles GM Dan Duquette to be their team president (that was Peter Angelos' request), as Hoffman was the guy who became the key to the Troy Tulowitzki deal ... The Jays became a rare team to have three players in double digits in home runs in one month, when Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson had 11 in August and Jose Bautista had 10 ... Should John Gibbons' job ever again fall into jeopardy (that wouldn't be the case now), folks believe Bud Black might interest the Jays. He has a long connection to new president Shapiro from Indians days.

I regret saying it, but, I'd rather Toronto have Duquette and us Hoffman, than Toronto having Tulo.

The DD/Toronto situation will haunt the Orioles for seasons to come.

Book it.

Not sure how this is fallout from the Duquette mess?

Now if the Jays' offered Hoffman and PA turned him down you could spin it that way.

I'd rather have Shapiro than Duquette. So the Blue Jays have the better players and a better GM imo.

I hope they choke on their bat splinters in the playoffs.

When are we mathematically eliminated from playoff contention?

How many more games must we lose?

I can't stand them either. I hope they get swept in the first round. You have two of the biggest idiots (Yost and Gibbons) with teams heading to the playoffs. How much does a manager really matter?

At the pace they're on, they should be mathematically out just in time for Ravens kickoff.

Funny, I doubt Toronto even thinks about the Orioles beyond the day of the game. Remember when the Orioles were the class of the league? You'd have to be over 40 to do that.

We can make fun of everyone, hate everyone and be happy with our payroll dollar per win ration. But this is getting old

Well played well played.

Let's see. Tulowitzki will be 31 years old in a month. In the previous three seasons, he's played 47, 126, and 91 games. His offense might already be in decline. He's having his worst offensive season since 2008. He has five years, $98 million remaining on his contract. Of all the things to complain about, Toronto trading for an aging, injury-prone shortstop with a ton of money and years left on his contract should not be one of them.

Oh, I think Shapiro did a very poor job there. Not a fan. I like Thad Levin.

I think Toronto's record with Tulo is 27-8...i wonder what ours is with Parra.

Toronto is getting to enjoy their 2012. And they sold all their good young players to do so. The won't get another year like we had in 2014 though.

I don't believe in ghost stories.
