Who needs Price or Navarro when you can have Josh Thole.

1-year 800K

That's good I guess..as long as Martin doesn't get hurt.

LOL at lumping these two together.

$800K for the backup catcher that can catch the knuckleball is good value. It's a pay cut from last year IIRC. I guess we're not trading Dickey.

By stats alone, Thole is the rare player who can be overpaid at $800k, but catching the knuckler and the generally undifferentiated pile of refuse that is the catching market makes this okay.

So does the October parade go down Yonge Street or up Bay Street?

No clue, but I already have my pants down to my waist and ready to go.
We're going streaking!

I dont see why this is so bad.
Thole made 1.75 million under AA. Shapiro got him for 800k.

Obviously this is not a guy thats gonna make-or-break the season for us. That Jays are relying on Dickey heavily next season and no other Catcher can handle him. If Martin can some how figure Dickey out, great, send Thole to the minors. Otherwise let Thole warm the bench. Just means more play time for Martin. Theres nothing to lose here. At that price, win win move.
