5:15pm: The Blue Jays are on the verge of acquiring Josh Johnson from the Marlins, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Toronto will also land Mark Buehrle in the trade, sources tell Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link) and Morosi. The Marlins will receive Yunel Escobar and Adeiny Hechavarria in return, Rosenthal tweets.

One source tells Morosi that Jose Reyes may also be headed to Toronto in the trade (Twitter link). That part of the deal is not yet confirmed but there will be more pieces outside of Johnson, Buehrle, Escobar, and Hechavarria in the swap, Rosenthal tweets.

I'm thrilled to see Jays management try and do something big. Just don't want to lose Adeiny I've always been a fan of Reyes though even though his production hasn't been absolutely amazing last season compared to seasons with the Mets. Ill be excited if this happens though.

this shit is absolutely amazing

AA ain't playing when he said Jays have money this year. Really wanted to see what Adeiny could have done though.

 

[Mexi]

if JJ can stay healthy
and Morrow

and Romero fixes whatever was wrong

(a lot of ifs)

Buehrle/Morrow/JJ/Romero (you know they're gonna start Buerhle 1st thats why i put him there)

Uh oh lol

I think Jays also trade Handsome Jake Marisnick (top 5 prospect in the Jays sytetm) and a catcher (hopefully JP)

selig gonna veto this like stern did with cp3 deal. WATCH!

 

[Giantmetfan07]

this deal has all sorts of crazy written all over it.

Hopefully Stanton demands a trade. He needs to get out of Miami. He's the 2013 NL MVP if he's on a team that wins enough games.

I still can't believe I believed in that team last year.

Is that really what MLB 2K looks like? Damn that sucks

 

[RipCity32]

Holy shit lol.
Blue Jays look pretty nice now.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Hahaha, fuck the Marlins and the crooked ass Dade politicians. I hope nothing but the worst for that franchise for what they did to the Orange Bowl and the taxpayers in that city.

 

[Mr.Baller]

AMAZING !!!

Going to make many trips from Montreal to Toronto this year just to see my Blue Jays !!!

I also heard that JP Arincibia could be on the move for pitching ( they said texas were interested )

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

So the Marlins had tax payers build a new stadium, got people's hopes up that they were going to compete and within a few months have traded away almost every significant player they had? What a joke...

 

[.infamous]

yep loria fleeced everybody and he is taking the money straight to the bank.

 

[Pugz]

that team should be kicked out.
