Holy balls
Wow...interesting....wonder what the rest of the deal looks like
Yeah...who are the Blue Jays gonna get?
Wow
Dayum, The M's very well have a chance at being competitors this yeat.)
I'm very excited to see what sort of numbers Lee puts up in front of Seattle's defense in a pitcher's park...
I will post my predictions on the deal in a little while:
My exact reaction was "Jesus f*cking Christ".
I know its been a long time in the making, but it's gonna be hard to see him go.
Blowing my mind just thinking about it.Quote:

no **** haha.
I can't imagine the haul that Toronto must be getting back though.
Predicitions??
This would have to go down as one of the biggest blockbusters in history. Two of the best pitchers in the game moving in one deal.
This is totally preventing me from studying right now.
I wonder if this limits Seattle's ability to sign Bay or Holliday?
I agree with gosens. I think this probably is the single biggest blockbuster trade in baseball history.
This on the surface looks insanely good for the Mariners.
I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Saunders and/or Phillipe Aumont were included. I think it would be very safe to say that we'll get a top flight infield prospect. I'd need to see a prospect list to make more educated predictions though.
There's no way to really evaluate that at this point since we don't know who Seattle gave up.
Do you guys think they would've had to give up a little extra on top of Halladay?
Yeah, I'm no longer about to go start my homework. Maybe I'll bring it down here.Quote:

I highly doubt Jack Z would give up Guti.Quote:

fixed again with cash considerations specified^^^
ESPN 710 is reporting Philadelphia gets Aumont, Gillies, Ramirez, and possibly Saunders.
Oh jeez, it is complex, I guess we're getting Philly specs then.Quote:
