TSN is garbage. They show terrible baseball coverage.

Don't really blame them, especially with the Jays getting all 162 games broadcast on SNet.

Its kind of how SNet's coverage of the CFL is crappy.

Nicolino and Snydergaard were promoted today after completely destroying their league thus far.

I can't watch "TSN The Reporters" anymore because it makes my blood pressure go too high. I can't stand Cybulski, Farber, Hodge and the other clowns on that show.

Its usually not a bad show as it offers up opinions on a wide range of weekly topics, but there's a reason Cybulski is on radio now. Watching him try too hard to be funny or different while he was on Sportscentre was painful.
This is a another example of him trying to appear different by being controversial...when really he just looks like a petty, uneducated tool with that ridiculous rant.

AA has called a press conference for 3:30 EST, and from some rumours on another board, Hill may have been traded. Unconfirmed though, it might just some orange julius talk.

Wandy Rodriguez was claimed off waivers by an unknown team, maybe it's the Jays?

Diamondbacks Interested In Aaron Hill

By Tim Dierkes [August 23 at 2:02pm CST]
The Diamondbacks are interested in Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill, MLBTR has learned.
I am not sure whether it's related, but the Jays have called a press conference for a half hour from now.

The Diamondbacks acquired second baseman Aaron Hill and shortstop John McDonald from the Blue Jays for Kelly Johnson, tweets John Gambadoro Sports 620 KTAR.

Considering Johnson had a 5.9 WAR season last year, this might be a great trade.

Speaks volumes about Aaron Hill's regression that I'm more upset about losing Johnny Mac. I realize he's not a great player - but a guy I enjoyed having on the team.

Man I'll miss JMac. My favorite player other than Jose.

And I'll miss Hill too. He was at one point my favorite player and I hope he tears it up with Arizona.

I hope both get into the postseason, of course to only lose to Doc.

Kelly Johnson and Yunel Escobar were 2B/SS pair for Atlanta, so we may see some chemistry on the field for double plays.

Wow, pretty sad to see Aaron Hill leave. He had a couple pretty tough seasons.


Will miss Jmac for sure.


Assume this is a trade.... have not seen it on TSN as of yet.

I'm not sure how the Type B status works, but if Johnson gets on a streak with the Jays, he may retain Type B status and we get a comp pick if someone signs him.

And than we can sign Hill and McDonald without giving anything up.

Hill has seemed depressed this year and not really partaking in any of the fun that the others were having.

At worst, Kelly Johnson declines Arbitration and we get a compensation pick, that we definitely would not have got for either Hill or J-mac.

Hope they have fun in the playoffs.
