Jays acquire Rasmus

[Phil The Thrill]

Still I think they could have gotten more for them imo. Whatevs AA is a beast lol.

Yankees acquire him and BC is saying: "Cashman is a fucking genius."

I never said his lack of hustle was reason enough for a team to trade a player away for anything, it was just stupidity on the Cardinals part. They desperately wanted a starter and they bit on Edwin Jackson, who has as good of stuff as anybody.

And if the Yankees traded for Rasmus I'd be wondering why, because he wouldn't play.

A career 4.53 ERA and 1.48 WHIP... He's had one good season in his career.

He's performed well since the start of that one good year minus his stint in Arizona.

He pitched great with the Chi-Sox last year after the trade and other than a bad first month, he's pitched great this year too.

 

[elcheato]

Great is a stretch, he's pitched well but he isn't exactly facing world beaters in the Central either.

 

[Elite]

He's going to the weaker hitting league anyway. And his home ballpark will no longer be a bandbox like it was in CHI/ARI.

Edwin Jackson's numbers this year have been considerably better at home.

Seriously how does AA pull of this kinda shit? Got Yunel for an aging Journeyman, got rid of Wells's contract and now this? Damn dude's a genius.

the gap between old school GM's and new school GM's is becoming apparent

guys like AA, the Mets staff, Rays GM are ahead of guys like Mozeliak in STL and other oldies

"rasmus has attutide problems, lets deal him for edwin jackson and relievers" lmao so idiotic

same with Yunel. "attitude problems" right?

the Angels use advanced stats so idk why they picked up Vernon. i guess their advanced guys were on vacation and their GM saw all of Vernon's RBI's last year

 

[Mexi]

the trade is a fucking HEIST

unbelievable

AA is the man

 

[footballplaya52]

swag.

 

[cruzg24]

Damn Blue Jays are doing work. Good for them, they have been really turning it around in terms of player acquisitions.

This deal made me fall in love with AA, I loved Colby in St. Louis, so glad he's in TO now

got to see him live on saturday aswell, too bad he sucked balls

 

[H-MYK]

Awesome trade by the Jays, I love it.
