Jays trade Grilli for minor leaguer

[rydermike]

Grilli has been traded to the Rangers along with cash considerations for minor league OF Eduard Pinto.

 

Getting something for nothing since he was going to be released anyways.

Guess it can't hurt. He seems like basically a slap hitter who doesn't run much though.

[G-Snarls]

Getting any salary relief or any player in return is nice

 

Sounds like we probably got a little bit of both

[Pendleton]

Pinto seems to have some on base ability. Better than just cutting Grilli loose without a doubt.

Would you look at that. Regardless if he pans out or not is a moot point, I love small little tweaks like these from the FO. They're trying to squeeze as much out of anything as possible lol
