Yea, like usual I start a dynasty with another team other than Toronto and I get cold feet about 2 months into the season and run back to my beloved Jays lol. I am going to start new with my Jays and try to take them all the way again. Playing 52 game seasons, 6 inning games, DH always on, and 1 Game winner takes all for playoffs and World Series. I will be playing on default All Star sliders as usual.

Preview:

Can Jose Bautista lead this team to the World Series?

GM Alex Anthopoulos will be stepping down as the GM of the Toronto Blue Jays, and they have announced new GM Tyler Spencer from Newfoundland, Canada will be taking over. In his 1st job as GM of a major league team he expects to make a few changes. He announced that manager John Farrell will be signing an extension to stay w/ Toronto despite all the Red Sox rumors. "We are happy to have John for a couple more years, he is the best man for the job and we have all our confidence in him" says GM Spencer.

Next order of business, GM Spencer announced that he would be open to moving anyone on the team except captain Jose Bautista and SP Ricky Romero. "We need these 2 center pieces to get the ball rolling for us" says Spencer. He also announced that he will be looking to acquire another starting SP and said he could use 2B Kelly Johnson to get one.

Rumor also has it that if Johnson was moved for a pitcher, the team may look to move AAA 1B David Cooper to get a 2B back."Cooper is a nice young 1B who deserves the opportunity to shine. He should be in a position to start and unfortunately we don't have that opportunity available" says Spencer.

Lastly, it has been mentioned that Brett Lawrie could be out of Toronto as well as the team thinks he has the most value to attract a nice package. Rumor has it that the Jays were in big talks with San Francisco with names like Pablo Sandoval being mentioned. Other possible names being mentioned in the trade market include: SP Brandon Morrow, 1B Adam Lind and C JP Arencieba. GM Spencer said he liked the teams power and may look for a better defensive catcher who can hit for better contact. Rumor has it that the Brewers duo of Catchers in Lucroy, and Maldonado may be possible targets for Spencer if the right package came along. He also said he could package Brandon Morrow with a prospect from AA or AAA to new an upgrade in SP and maybe a minor league player. 1B Adam Lind may be used along with a prospect to net a better 1B or DH who can bat consistently at the 5th spot behind Encarnacion. Rumor has it that his name was mentioned in talks with the Brewers in the catcher trade.

Players Mentioned In Trade Talks:
Brett Lawrie
JP Arencieba
