[Smith] Julien BriseBois said he’s already had preliminary discussions with agents for Nick Paul, Ondrej Palat and Jan Rutta the last 36 hours. He said all want to stay and they want to keep them. “We'll know more in the coming days, weeks, but we'd like to bring those guys back."

[Spector] Fleury,we continue to hear, chooses not to play in Edmonton. John Gibson almost certainly has Edmonton on his no trade list... If Gibson is willing, however, we’d bet Holland is all over that trade and willing to trade a top prospect, Puljujarvi and this year’s first in the deal.

Killorn traded would free up 4.5 million, able to keep Paul and Rutta imo. Palat is as good as gone
Yeah, Rutta might take a cheaper than expected deal (~1 million).
Friedman made a comment in his podcast today about it being a "tough playoffs". Wonder if that was about perhaps it being MacLean's last cup final as the host of the broadcast.
That's such a great shot to get.
SN had the celebration it was a great thing to capture

Top 3 cup winner of the cap era
We just need a fifth starter - don’t unload the farm, trade two or three lottery tickets for a guy who can give us five innings and give up three or four runs per start. That gets Kikuchi out of the rotation - we have to hope Berrios can turn it around, he’s not getting yanked from rotation. I’d also trade Danny or a couple other B prospects for more pen arms.
Yeah there is the line of thinking that you trade for the Kikuchi upgrade and then use the rest of prospect capital for high end relievers.
I'd be okay with it but mostly from the perspective of selling "high" on groshans if that is even a thing anymore. He's hit for no power at AAA at all and is in danger of losing decent prospect status fairly quickly.
Yeah you'd probably need another good prospect with him for a upside starter.
At minimum a playoff spot.
Friedman floated the idea of him signing a short term extension and then hitting the market again.
Also from the article:
It's a good fit. The other UFA options for them would be Husso, Kuemper (Avs probably keep him) and then the trade market.
People are calling for Kikuchi to go to the minors to get better. Due to his service time, he can refuse said assignment and elect free agency, and the Jays will still be on the hook to pay him his entire contract.
He probably would elect for FA, and I know it would be very enticing for me if I were in his position, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have the conversation with him to see if he'd be willing to accept the assignment. I mean, I'd be hard pressed to see a team sign him to a major league deal with the way he's been pitching, so he might consider it.
Eh someone probably would give him a major league deal
And considering Thornton they need as the long man just in case, it's down to Hatch in terms of the in org options instead of him. But I think they're getting to a point where something needs to change there.
Wonder if he'll start the double header next Saturday.
William Karlsson to Ottawa I'm guessing
Realistic names:
NL Central teams as trade targets make sense
Nazem “Patrick Kane” Kadri
Yeah that goal was really similar to the 2010 winner!
[удалено]
Would have to be a Bednar level reliever, and even then that might be too much considering it's a starter for a pitcher.
