Glaus going to the AL?

The Red Sox can't even stop their own players from going to the Yankees, I doubt they wil be as serious toward Glaus. I think he might go to the Jays, they are trying to contend and need more offence, they might make strong trades to get this guy, but the money left over might be somthing pretty hard to swallow.

 

What the hell?

 

As long as the asking price doesnt include Papelbon, Lester, or Marte...I'm good with making this deal. His defense at 3rd was good so I think he would be able to play 1st. Also the quote that he was unable to work on his upper body all last year and still put up good power numbers is appealing. His swing was always a dagger against us in Fenway with the Halos, I would love to see those tables reversed.

looks like a done deal (pending physicals)

QUOTE

Pending a physical on Monday in Toronto, Troy Glaus will be introduced as the newest member of the Blue Jays during a scheduled press conference on Tuesday.

 

Sportsnet.ca -- The Blue Jays have dealt relief pitcher Miguel Batista and second baseman Orlando Hudson to Arizona for third baseman Troy Glaus and a prospect, Sportsnet Baseball Insider Ken Rosenthal has confirmed.

 

The principles of the deal were agreed upon early Friday, and confirmation came after Glaus waived his no-trade clause to Toronto.

 

It is expected Glaus will become Toronto's everyday third baseman, with Corey Koskie assuming DH duties and Shea Hillenbrand likely being moved out of Toronto to alleviate the logjam at the position.

I hope the Blue Jays make some noise in the east. I am tired of the yankees and redsox just pounding everyone else in the division.

 

I wonder if they are dont signing players.

 

I wonder who the redsox will go after since the two guys that they were interested in just got traded or signed (millwood and glaus).

I'm guessing Hinske or Koskie. Toronto's manager in one of the papers said he wants Shea in his line-up next year.

 

Batista was going to be dealt for nothing anyways so I don't think they overpayed.

Their defense takes a huge hit but I love the deal for Toronto... they finally get their power hitter and all they got rid of was a defensive second baseman and a reliever who makes starter money.

 

Will be interesting to see what they do with Hinkse, Coskie and Hildenbrand.. obviously Shea has the most value.
