That’s really not jays news. AA has been saying that for a week now. I just don’t see him trading any of his beloved prospects for a rental it’s gotta be a distressed asset or a pitcher who still has a year or two of control. but he has said they are exploring rentals and probably laughing at the asking price

Honestly if the Blue Jays can grab Gutherie for a middling prospect, then I would go for it.
Realistically, the Blue Jays ain’t going to win the division title.
Currently they sit 2.5 GB and 3GB out of the two available wild card
spots.
Guthrie was a 2.2 WAR pitcher when he was in the AL East. Over half a
season, that suggests he can boost the record by 1.1 win. Sometimes that
1 win could honestly make the difference.
Either way, Guthrie can fill the void until the starters return from the
DL. It would be better to have Villanueva in the bullpen, or if
Cecil/Laffey falters, they can be sent to the minors.
Of course, I’m working on the constraint that GM AA doesn’t want to trade away good prospects for someone like Garza.

I’d take Guthrie if it doesn’t cost much.
I also don’t hate the idea of calling up Chad Jenkins, he’s sorta, kinda, been better.

If The Jays are thinking with 1/2 of 2012 and an entire 2013 season in mind..then that’ll would open up the thinking beyond a stopgap run at a wildcard this season.

I hope the Rangers contract isn’t approved. It really wasn’t a fair bidding competition for the player for the other teams. In fairness to Texas, this should have been immediately dealt with so that they could know whether they still had a budget for players or not.

ryan dempster to the angels to help struggling santana/haren (wishful thinking)

Bourjos is a pretty big trade chip. would angels move him for a rental?
thebigbangdito
doubt it… i do believe they are willing to move him.. but they wouldnt use him as a trade chip for just a rental

On the other hand, the Angels still have a logjam in the outfield with Trout, Wells, Trumbo, Bourjos, and Hunter all deserving playing time (okay, maybe not Wells so much).
Bourjos might not be had for Dempster, but he could certainly be the centerpiece of a Garza deal. The question is where the Cubs would play him if they can’t move Soriano, DeJesus, or LaHair.
