TRAVIS SNIDER RUMORS
Toronto’s biggest bargaining chip sits in Vegas
We are nearing the end of May and the Toronto Blue Jays are MLB’s best .500 ball club.
I’m not really sure if that’s good or bad at this point, but considering all the hype this team had from multiple outlets before the season started, I guess .500 is a little disappointing.
If you take into account that the Jays are playing in, quite possibly, the toughest...

Travis Snider: Curse of the “AAAA” player
First-round pick, seven years in the Toronto Blue Jays organization, and a grand total of 232 games, 28 home runs, 236 strikeouts and .248 batting average.
Snider who lost the battle for Jay’s starting leftfielder position, was optioned to Triple-A. This was Snider’s last option and this once “can’t miss prospect” will have to pass through waivers...

Afterthoughts: McGowan, Snider, Lind, etc.
I almost titled this post "the last word" but that would have been ridiculously optimistic, right? Anyway, there's enough Jays news in recent days that it's a dereliction of duty to not comment on it.Item: Dustin McGowan nursing minor injury, signed to extension. The easy to quantify is the injury story. Minor inflammation in his right foot will almost certainly...

Battle Over: Eric Thames Claim Blue Jays LF Job; Snider Demoted
Can’t really say we didn’t see this coming a few weeks ago, yes?
The competition that was the 2012 Blue Jays Battle For The Left (Field) ended today, with Eric Thames emerging as the winner, and Travis Snider demoted to AAA again. For his part, Snider seemed to take the news well enough (well, at least he did on Twitter). That it was an uphill battle for the 24-year old...

Should Snider And Thames Be Competing?
Travis Snider has been locked in a battle with Eric Thames for the final roster spot in the Jays’ outfield, but I don’t think this makes any sense. Not because I think Snider should be handed a job, or that Thames is terrible or anything. No, the reason is that I’m not sure why Ben Francisco has a guaranteed job with Toronto.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know that Snider...

Travis Snider And The Consequences Of Poor Asset Management
There’s no question that Travis Snider has struggled the past few years. He’s never been afforded a real opportunity in the majors, as every time he struggled the Jays pulled the plug and sent him down to the minors. Over his career he’s batted out of the #9 spot more than any other, as the Jays have shown little to no faith in his ability.With one minor league...

Blue Jays' left field spot up for grabs
One of the most intriguing competitions for a roster spot on the Toronto Blue Jays' roster is at left field.
That's where Travis Snider, their first-round pick in the 2006 draft, will be trying to regain the position he gave up last season to Eric Thames.
''That's going to be the daily watch,'' manager John Farrell said Friday after his players finished...

Hypothetical Challenge Trade – Travis Snider for Domonic Brown
**Note** This trade has not occurred, nor has it been rumoured to happen. It is simply a hypothetical trade to create discussion on the value of Travis Snider and Domonic Brown.
The challenge trade is one of the most exciting swaps in all of baseball. Two players, each with their own strengths and flaws, are traded because the other team thinks it can maximize their potential. In...
