Hopefully the prospects are because we are eating his salary and not because we sold the farm

With Carrera going to DL, I totally feel the Jays were like look... either your back or something starts "hurting" or we have to DFA you.

I find it so pathetic that stiffs like BNS and Davidi never can break trades first when they are employed by Rogers who obviously own the team.

They lack in social skills or people must not like them.

Probably the reason why Hayhurst was let go? He's now doing pretty well for himself working for TSN.

Yeah, you've always struck me as a charmer. :D

I interviewed with the Raptors for a social media gig once. They said that the reason internal people never break trades is because the team won't let them. Either it's not official or there are other reasons.

I was really hoping that they'd continue to delude themselves that they're just a couple more overpaid 35 year olds from contention. Alas.

Don't have to go that far back. Junior Lake played over him for a full week just a couple of weeks ago cuz Carrerra has had some Achilles issues this year.

Return to Toronto Blue Jays
