The Jays are 7 back of the Yankees, but they play each other 13 more times this year.

The Jays big deadline moves so far: adding Tulowitzki and Price.

The Yankees big deadline moves so far: Pineda and Nova are hurt.
Having Price helps them immensely once the playoffs start, especially if they end up in the one game playoff(Although I think Price has pretty shitty playoff numbers.)
He may have turned a corner when it comes to the playoffs. He pitched well for Detroit in an ALDS game last year.

Only 60 games left. Let's say Price is replacing a .500 pitcher for the rest of the season. If Price makes 12 starts (optimally) and goes 9-3, he nets the BJs 3 more wins. Is that enough to take the East? Not in my opinion.

But, its got to be exciting for the BJ fans.
He's not replacing a .500 pitcher. He's replacing Felix Doubront.

LOL at me a year and a half ago thinking Doubront would be a front line starter.

You won a damned world series and are downplaying it! You should still be celebrating unexpected greatness, not lamenting the fact it gave you false hope going forward.

In 2013 I was absolutely celebrating the unexpected greatness. But around here, you still hear people defending that roster as a way to win. It was a fluke, a flash in the pan. Not a blue print for winning consistently.

Yeah, but that does nothing for us now as we watch this disgrace of a team.

In all honesty, I actually watched the highlights of that playoff run the other day, and it warmed my heart. That was the 2nd best season of my Red Sox lifetime.

Enough about the Red Sox though, they are a last place team that doesnt even have any pieces to sell at the deadline.
