Jays have a deep farm so that would be a great fit.

[Glen]

I hear that Howie is available.

[LAAMike]

The Blue Jays are on Howie' no trade clause.

[floplag]

Why assume farm?
We have a window we need to exploit, re-stocking the farm is nice and all, but im pretty sure Howie as a top 5 2B WAR wise should get a mid rotation guy or something to help the ML club now.
He can block that deal so there would be some details to figure out if at all... but im not thinking prospects in a howie trade unless they are there to balance out the main pieces.

End thread.

From their major league roster, Drew Hutchison would probably be the mid rotation arm worth getting. Jays won't deal Stroman for Kendrick

 

I'm not sure I'd want to deal Kendrick for Hutch though. He's still a bit unproven. Think the Halos are better holding onto Kendrick and signing a mid tier FA SP this offseason tbh

Hello Jerry

This may sound crazy

But you have my number

Let's discuss Howie

Toronto: Hi Jerry, we wan to talk about Howie.

Jerry: You're on his no trade list.

Click.

Toronto is a cool city and all, but if you have the money, California is still pretty unbeatable.

[LAAMike]

I believe that Howie wants to go to a team that has a chance.  That is why the Rays, Marlins and Mets are also on his no trade clause.  Clubs work around "no trade clauses" all the time.  All it takes is some flexibility and some money for Howie. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I hear that Howie is available.

 

I thought he was married with kids?

[Blarg]

I believe it is the Blue Jays are on the Angels no trade list after the Wells catastrophe.

[Thomas]

Is this trolling on the Blue Jays part?

[tdawg87]

If they're that desperate ask for Stroman in return or no deal.

That won't happen but the Angels don't exactly need to trade Howie.

It would be on mine too considering the currency exchange and taxes up there.

[Tyler]

Blue Jays have always been a great for a Kendrick trade. Hopefully Toronto isnt stingy with the prospects.

[Guest]

It would be on mine too considering the currency exchange and taxes up there.

If taxes were the main issue Howie would prefer going to Texas, Houston, Miami or Tampa Bay. My guess is that issue is secondary to competitiveness. 

[Jimmag]

We better get something great in return or no deal.

[ScottT]

It would be on mine too considering the currency exchange and taxes up there.

 

PokerStars, though.

Howie and Josh for Joey half beard.

Toronto:  Hi, Is Tony Reagins available?

Angels: Excuse me?

Toronto: Hahahahaha... *click*

 

Toronto:  Hi Jerry, we're interested in reacquiring Vernon Wells if he's available.

Jerry: Very funny.

Toronto:  Hahahahha... *click*

 

Toronto: Hi Jerry we're really interested in Howie Kendrick.

Jerry: What do you have in mind?

Toronto:  How about a case of our world famous maple syrup? Hahahaha... *click*

[Erstad Grit]

Dipoto: Hello?

Blue Jays: Hi JD......Is Reagins available?

[Erstad Grit]
