Bret Hart Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (from : rotoworld.com) Blue Jays released DH Frank Thomas. Wow. The Blue Jays really didn't want to pay the man his $10 million vesting option for 2009. Thomas should get plenty of interest from teams looking for some power at DH. He was hitting .277 with three home runs and 11 RBI. The Jays will likely call up outfielder Adam Lind. Jays can't wait, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbethan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Wow. Last year he was their savior, this year he gets cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puma Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Any ideas on who will pick him up, if anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstatenyfishfan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Any ideas on who will pick him up, if anyone? Only an AL player at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 This sucks, he was the main reason I bought tix to see the Jays play the Rays this week @Disney. He was hot for about a week and then not since then. I can see him resurfacing somewhere I doubt it will be Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricWiener Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If I were Seattle I'd get Bonds, and if I were Oakland I'd get Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thomas had a pretty good year in Oakland in 2006. Be cool to see him go back and do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonataArctica121 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oaklands' DH now, should be interesting, maybe he can help the young hitters like Barton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
