Roster Moves Log

Feel bad for Maicer, it looks pretty bad. Goins is playing really well lately! He's hitting .375 with 3 hits and got his first RBI today which was the game winning run today! How did Chien-Ming Wong pitch that day?

Wang pitched horrible.
3 innings, gave up 4 earned runs.

Toronto Blue Jays activated LHP Aaron Loup from the paternity list.
Toronto Blue Jays designated RHP Chien-Ming Wang for assignment.

Where is Gose, is he still in the majors because Pillar and Sierra are always starting. I would prefer Gose than Pillar right now because Pillar keeps on striking out too often. Do you think Goins will stay until the remainder of the year?

Of course, it's almost September now.
Pillar actually hit the double that scored their ony run last night, Gose is doing horrible batting and fielding.
Also, Sierra hit 3-for-3.
And remember, I'm in London right now, I can't watch the games for a week.

Toronto Blue Jays sent RHP Chien-Ming Wang outright to Buffalo (AAA).

Will Dustin McGowan come back or is he going to stay down in the minors?

He will be back.
He was just injured, not in the minors.
In fact, since the rosters expanded:
Toronto Blue Jays activated RHP Dustin McGowan from the 15-day disabled list.
Toronto Blue Jays activated RHP Steve Delabar from the 15-day disabled list.

How is Romero doing? Still pitching bad or is it getting better?

He is horrible.
According to Anthopolous, Romero, Jeremy Jeffress, and Mike Nickeas will be called up and Luis Pérez will be activated to finish their September call-ups.


Toronto Blue Jays recalled RHP Kyle Drabek from Buffalo (AAA).

Yup, they were all called up! I thought Jeffress was gone? Wasn't he waved or cut?

No, he was just outrighted.

Really stupid, Nickeas was batting badly, Romero sucked in AAA and Jeffress isn't consistent.
Mauro Gomez was designated for assignment and he was the best player in Buffalo, he should've called up, and Drew Hutchison, Luis Jimenez and Marcus Stroman or Sean Nolin should've been called up...

Toronto Blue Jays activated LHP Luis Perez from the 60-day disabled list.
Toronto Blue Jays transferred RHP Josh Johnson from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Right forearm strain.
Toronto Blue Jays transferred LF Melky Cabrera from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Left knee irritation.
Toronto Blue Jays designated 1B Mauro Gomez for assignment.
Toronto Blue Jays purchased the contract of C Mike Nickeas from Buffalo (AAA).
Toronto Blue Jays purchased the contract of LHP Ricky Romero from Buffalo (AAA).
Toronto Blue Jays purchased the contract of Jeremy Jeffress from Buffalo (AAA).

Is Rasmus and Bautista out for the season.

They think all big 3 are put for the season.
Bautista is confirmed out for season.
Also, Anthopolous made a horrible decision with Mauro Gomez because:

Washington Nationals claimed 1B Mauro Gomez off waivers from Toronto Blue Jays.

Anthopolous (GM), Tony LaCava (Assistant GM) and Gibbons (Manager) should all be fired.

Well I think they should keep Anthopoulus because he made 2 big trades and he might make even more trades during the offseason. But everyone else like the hitting coach, pitching coach... should be fired! Is there even a good catcher in the minors so they could call up.

Jason, that makes no sense.
Anthopolous brought in Gibbons when Francona was a available, Pete Walker is a great pitching coach, it's not his fault some of the pitchers aren't performing well.
Paul Beeston gave Anthopolous the option to use more money and get better player and he failed.
2 decent trades gets you nowhere.
Anthopolous, LaCava and Gibbons should be fired.
That simple.

Fahmid told me Beeston should be fired! You're right but who do you think will replace Anthopolous and Gibbons?

Not sure really.
Tell Fahm that I said he hasn't got an idea about what he's saying..

Toronto Blue Jays placed 1B Edwin Encarnacion on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to September 16, 2013. Left wrist injury.
Toronto Blue Jays placed LHP Brett Cecil on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to September 13, 2013. Sore left elbow.

IF Munenori Kwawsaki elected free agency.
RHP Josh Johnson elected free agency.

Didn't Rajai Davis elect for free agency?

Yep Davis did.

Jays signed Juan Perez, Mike Nickeas and Jonathan Diaz to minor league contracts.
