Toronto acquired catcher Dioner Navarro from the Chicago White Sox Friday evening in exchange for left-hander Colton Turner.

Dinner!

What!!!

Sent from my SGH-I337M using RealGM mobile app

word.

That's one way to get Estrada going again lol.

Do they option him to Buffalo (with his consent) and then call him up on September 1st or would he have to still spend 10 days in the minors if they did that?

I'm guessing they don't option Thole with Dickey's next start on Sunday.

If not how does this work and who gets sent down? Loup again?

Is he playoff eligible?

Yes. If you acquire someone before Aug 31 they are eligible.

Gibby will be pleased to see his best pure hitter from last year's team back with the squad.

More evidence that Dickey and Thole won't be on the playoff roster (if we make it that far). And there was much rejoicing.

Those **** pitches were high and outside.

I imagine they will send down a reliever until September and carry 3 catchers.
Good pick up.

Or Carrera if he has another option.

With the injury issues that Bautista and Saunders (and Pillar + flu-like symptoms tonight) have had lately, I couldn't see that happening. There's really no point in keeping Loup around.

can we just get rid of thole... martin did a decent job catching dickey in the postseason, just make him catch dickey the rest of the year, honestly **** thole guy is trash. good guy though.

That and the Revere at-bat were the two most blatant examples of biased officiating that I've ever seen. Incredible how the strike zone completely changed that inning from the previous 8 innings. That combined with Fox advertising the Royals-Mets WS before the 9th inning even ended sure made me a believer of those anti-Canadian conspiracy theories.

Oh, and let's not forget Amish boy either.

I think this is a precursor to both Dickey and Thole being left off the playoff roster but I would still expect Thole to catch Dickey the rest of the regular season. Martin HATED catching Dickey which is why Thole was brought back.

Just got home from the Jays game. Saw this on the realgm ticker, nice! Not sure who knew in the clubhouse that Dioner's back but man did these guys have an extra pep in their step tonight. Coincidence?

Absolutely. It is a precursor to both of them being left off the playoff roster. Good move in bringing this guy back for the rest of the season.
