Curtis Granderson Traded

[Grant77]

To the Brewers, per Ken Rosenthal. The return is a Class A outfielder Demi Orimoloye. Edited September 1, 2018 by Grant77

[Krylian]

Top 50 prospect coming back?

[jays4life19]

Hopefully Mike Trout is the return.

[TheHurl]

I assume the Yankees. Makes a lot of sense as they wanted the Jays to throw all the money in on a Donaldson deal to keep them under the luxury tax number. Grandy would be the consolation prize.

[King]

Rosenthal says Brewers.

[glory]

[Pendleton]

Hope to see him back in some capacity

[Krylian]

I'm gonna say Carlos Herrera comes back

[TheHurl]

Demi Orimoloye????

 

Phil Bickford would be hilarious

[P2F]

Nathan Kirby?

[rydermike]

Perfect, traded after Players Weekend so we got to see the Grandyman jays jersey

[Pendleton]

Michele Vassalotti?

[John_Havok]

KJ Harrison maybe.

 

 

Edit, nope, he just went to Washington in the Gio deal.

[John_Havok]

Brewers also signed Emilio Bonifacio out of indy ball today.

[Krylian]

It's Orimoloye

[Pendleton]

It's Orimoloye

 

Pretty toolsy but lacks feel for hitting. Wikipedia lists him as an Afro-Canadian

[John_Havok]

It's Orimoloye

 

Demi Orimoloye. Better than I thought the return would be

[John_Havok]

HeRe is Fangraphs pre-season writeup on Demi

 

Demi Orimoloye, OF – While he remains an impressive physical specimen, Orimoloye’s feel for hitting has made zero progress in the last year. He doesn’t use his lower half well, nor does he generate much hand separation. Moreover, his offspeed recognition remains poor. He’s an above-average runner at a hulking 6-foot-2 and has plus raw power, and some scouts are still hopeful the bat will come. Tangible improvements will be a necessary in 2018.

The Demi God, the Triple O comes home

[Grant77]

I think we can safely call the Granderson signing a success.

[Boxcar]

I'm confused, I thought Granderson clearing waivers didn't mean anything?

 

This sucks. A poster here assured me that he wouldn't be traded.

[Maahfaace]

Grandy might have returned more than JD!

[TwistedLogic]

I remember how a lot of people here wanted to draft Orimoloye. I can't remember if I was on that bandwagon or not but I remember being salty when some mocks put him on the Orioles and the cucks at Orioles Hangout started cheering because his name contained the word "Oriole" in it.

 

This is a good piece to bring back for a month of Granderson.

That really is the level of discourse occurring at orioleshangout.com. They probably weren't too worried about his potential since they have literally 15 players that project to be league average in their farm.

[TheHurl]

His real name is Oluwademilade Oluwadamilola Orimoloye

[Abomination]

His real name is Oluwademilade Oluwadamilola Orimoloye

 

If we call him up, we'd better replace our broadcast team first.

Can't wait to hear Boxy try to pronounce this in a Spanish accent on the next podcast

There better be some tongue-clicking while pronouncing his name.

[Drumcliff]

Granderson was a good signing, and maybe he’ll be back some day in a coaching capacity, but any ABs for him in September were a waste. Glad to see he’s gone to a team that currently holds a wild card spot.

 

Demi is a decent return, a guy with some tools as a 21-year-old who could progress. Plus, he’s from Ottawa.

[Bobthe4th]

I think we can safely call the Granderson signing a success.

 

Nah I still think more playing time for the young outfielders would have been more beneficial than any veteran advice he would have shared.
