BREAKING: The BlueJays are trading catcher Russell Martin to the Dodgers.

Without Freddy Andersen Boston Bruins proves we are not going far in playoffs. We need 2 excellent goalies, Grab Sergei Bobrovsky asap Kyle Dubas ! Go Leafs !

Sad to see him go. Honestly feel like his knowledge and leadership could have helped a young team develop. Without quality veterans you end up like the Oilers. But happy Martin goes to a contender.

😭

Pillar next. Pillar will be on Red Sox or Yankees

😞

Denyse_Anne Well at least we had 1 good season since 93 thanks for the memories

680NEWS sad

Not going to miss that .122 batting average the first 3 months of the season. But, will miss how he takes control behind the plate.

Living in LA and missed only 2 games last year (2 funerals...) and a former season ticket holder, glad to see Russell Martin BACK where he started. He's a cerebral catcher in how he manages his pitchers and should end his career here. Welcome back russellmartin55!

It will be a different Jay's team this yr

who cares it’s all about hockey now!!!

wow u will be missed

Russ was all class here in TO. I don’t like this deal. Keep him around for the younger players to learn from

The bluejays lost their Fonzie. To be fair, Fonzie was too old to hang out with high school kids ayyyy RussellMartin

My God the sky is falling responses on here make me laugh. Martin is a player in his twilight that was blocking prospects from getting playing time. The Jay's get two more prospects to add. We have to let go of the Playoff teams..that team is gone. The rebuild is fully underway

TrevorNelson1 what the heck is this

Nice guy ... but he had trouble contacting beach balls at bat in TO

Noooooo

I already know thanks

Disappointing! He’s Canadian. How could you do that?

Sad to see Russell go! 😕

😓

Wishing Russ all the best with the Dodgers but a deal needed to happen as the BlueJays move forward

How will we get by without his incredible batting average?

He is singing ' I'm the Luckiest man in the World'.

Another casualty of the playoff blue Jays. Not much left of this team. Basement of the American League East

Now get rid of the GM so Blue Jays can rebuild!

😢I know it's business but this one hurts.

We aren’t done yet. Trade Pillar, Sanchez, Stroman, Smoak, Travis..I want them all out of town. If Shapiro and Atkins are going to tank this team, they might as well complete the job. Good luck getting fans to the ball park next season Bluejays

About time ...lol tho for some damn reason they brought back joe biagini WTF?

Looking at all these comments I am so glad none of you are the GM of the Blue Jays. thankyourussellmartin makecanadaproud 32

sdPadre4Life what does this mean?

Sad to see him go.

680NEWS I am surprised

Remember this?

FAN590 ShiDavidi BlueJays timandsid of course I am happy he will get another shot to compete. Maybe if the jays would be little more generous , we still a team to compete with . Say bye to the forMer Indians management and get new blood

Shatkins strikes again😡

CityNews No!

CityNews Boo 😪

I know we all love Russ but has he ever caught a triple digit heater with an ovenmitt?

That's awesome!!!

Thank you Russell. I wish you luck!

Best thing for Russell. Get as far away from the mess the Jays are turning into. Hope you and Tulo have a great year.

The Blue Jays are rebuilding. The Dodgers are going for it all next year. The Dodgers are getting solid catcher who doesn't put up gouty numbers & is great defensively.

Finally! There it is Brewcrewboozer

I really wish the BlueJays would pay me not to play for them

Very sad this team is being ripped apart !

UPDATE: The BlueJays have acquired two minor league players from the Dodgers for Russell Martin.

damn!

Chiarelli the GM of the Bluejays too?

Here we go: SHIT-piro and ASS-kins making sure that BlueJays have no players with personality and fan appeal.

680NEWS Bye

Thoughts on this JackZuber?

680NEWS flatlandmom NOOOOO!

For joc Lol I wish

680NEWS House cleaning is just about complete

I'm predicting 50 games under .500 this year.

Blue Jays paying a lot of money for 2 players to play else where.

CityNews Oh no. This is too bad.

Jays are eating a lot of money this off-season

FAN590 How much we paying of his salary? ALL?

Good job getting rid of that contract.

CityNews Dang, I’m going to have to learn everyone all over again 😬

CityNews

Trade Pillar and Morales next!

680NEWS What? Noooooooo!!

Wow........toronto AAA.........

ally_kathryn 😭😭😭 at least you can love him now

Sad day, though can’t say I’m surprised. Always one of my favourite jays in terms of heart and passion.

Noooooooooo!

probably paying his contract like tulo

Good to see a great player and person have a shot late in his career for a title! Good luck Russ

680NEWS 👎🏼👎🏼

Not surprised. I'm down to 1 player jersey still with the team. Stay put Pillar!!

Ah noon.... J'en veut pas de lui avec les Dodgers 😡

Good thank you Russell good luck in LA jays are classless

Love the guy. Great leader. But it is the best thing for the team. Young catching prospects are looking good, and its nice to get rid of his contract.

For what?

He was garbage anyways. Too old, overplayed, and overrated

Blue Jays manage to ship catcher Russell Martin out of TorontoThe Blue Jays traded veteran catcher Russell Martin to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday for shortstop Ronny Brito and right-handed pitcher Andrew Sopko. Paying most of the contract can allow trades like this to happen. If the Dodgers release him it won't be costly for them. The Jays will still be paying big. But it clears a roster spot.

Russell Martin thanks Blue Jays, fans for 'amazing ride' - Sportsnet.caCanadian catcher Russell Martin took to social media Friday to thank the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans for what he described to be an 'amazing ride' the last four years. At least he gave us a thank you note unlike some others. Good luck Russel, you always gave the team your best. On and off the field! He will be missed and when he hangs it up he will be an amazing manager some day as he know how to win and bring that out in the players around him.

Russell Martin trade another step into Blue Jays' future - Sportsnet.caThere’s far more to the Russell Martin deal when considering all he accomplished in Toronto and what his departure says about the BlueJays’ path ahead. (bnicholsonsmith) bnicholsonsmith If the jays are still on the hook for 40 million this season for Martin and tulo they shoulda had em selling popcorn and Rogers stadium this year and if needed dress em bnicholsonsmith Its awesome paying him and Tulo like 36 million to not play for the Jays anymore. FAN590 bnicholsonsmith I believe the trade of Russell will hurt the Jays ,his leadership will be hard to replaced!!Also with him not playing hardly at all the end of the season told me he was gone.🤔

Revisiting Blue Jays' Sports Illustrated cover jinx after Martin trade - Sportsnet.caIn 2015, seven key figures of the Toronto Blue Jays were featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A lot has changed since then. MikeyJ_MMA I don't believe they did, however, I do believe they did in the case of the Indians. Oh, those urban legends. MikeyJ_MMA I thought the 1994 Sports illustrated cover jinxed the Toronto fakebythelake. BlueJays MikeyJ_MMA Well the Madden video game curse is alive and well. So why not the Sports Illustrated cover curse as well.
