The @BlueJays have acquired OF JOHN MAYBERRY JR. from the @Phillies in exchange for minor league infielder GUSTAVO PIERRE.

 

LOL at RAJ... Gustavo Pierre isn't a good prospect, with his 25 errors between SS/3B, and terrible bat and non existent walk rate.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GUSTAVO PIERRE IS GONE HAHAAH

 

Now there's no chance AA can fall in love with the toolz. Nice move. Like it.

[Abomination]

Lind's platoon partner.

[jaysblue]

Love this move! I've always been a fan of Mayberry!

Plus, JMJ is under control until 2017, and hits left handers somewhat. He's probably being looked at for the 2015 bench.

lolwut

[TheHurl]

nice move. I can't wait for him to have a good week and then the Jays establish he should face righties.

I don't think that'll happen. Who would he displace to face righties?

John can't play centerfield though

[GD]

wtf, where was this a month ago when it might of made a difference?

 

John Mayberry Jr

 

Difference maker

We need him to?

It would mean that Pillar is pretty useless next year

Love this move! I've always been a fan of Mayberry!

 

Me too, I wanted him back in the Halladay trade.

Holy s***. Long time no see.

Why? I'd rather Pillar long term offensively and defensively over Mayberry.

[Abomination]

All this move is, is a right handed platoon bat for Lind for the rest of the year with the expanded rosters (and right handed bat off the bench late in games). Reading anything more into it than that is foolish imo. Maybe he's kept around next year, maybe he isn't. He certainly isn't going to take bats away from Pillar this year (imo).

Who's Gustavo Pierre ?

[GD]

I have a Gustavo Pierre autographed baseball

 

And he took my ball and I was like "oh god no."

[Jimcanuck]

Heeerrrreee'sssss Johnnnnnnyyyyy

 

Great f***ing trade

Give it away?

[GD]

$50 and it's yours

 

It isn't worth the cost of shipping

[RealAccountant]

Pretty much closes the door on Melky

No. JMJ is only here to help be an addition for expanded rosters. Unless he hits, he'll be non tendered after this season. Doesn't affect anything regarding Melky Cabrera.

[SAAviour]

What am I missing. Mayberry sucks, does he not?
