Kanada Kev Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Fuck Yeah! http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=411750 REPORT: JAYS HAVE AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE FOR METS' DICKEY After prolonged negotiations, it appears the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets have an agreement in principle on a deal involving reigning National League CY Young winner R.A. Dickey, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com. The deal remains contingent on the Jays' ability to sign Dickey to an extension within a 72-hour negotiating window which expires Tuesday at 2pm et. There has yet to be confirmation on the players involved besides Dickey, but according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the deal between the two clubs could see seven players switch teams, with Dickey, catcher Josh Thole and a prospect heading to Toronto for catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud, pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard, recently acquired catcher John Buck and another prospect. Sherman stated on his Twitter account on Saturday evening that while the deal is still very much alive, that it could take a day or two before being finalized. The 38-year-old Dickey has one more year on his contract with the Mets worth $5 million. He led the National league in strikeouts with 230 last season and ranked second with an ERA of 2.73. In parts of 10 major league seasons, Dickey has a career ERA of 3.98. If Dickey is traded, he would be only the fourth reigning Cy Young winner in history to start the following season with a new team, joining David Cone (1995), Pedro Martinez (1998) and Roger Clemens (1999).

Guest Low Roller Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Ask Brian Burke for the parade route details. I'm sure that he had them drawn up when he traded for Kessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
