Berríos to Blue Jays, source tells @TheAthletic.

[Benito]

Trading 1 of those could have got us Turner...it better not cost any of them

 

Agreed! Please don't Atkins.

[Daniel Labude]

1.5 years of Berrios is not worth any of Martin, Orelvis, Moreno, Pearson, SWR. Though they may trade Pearson for him

Oh sh*t. Needs it's own thread once confirmed.

[Jimcanuck]

Passan just tweeted Berrios to Jays

[Jimcanuck]

Damn, you fellas are fast

[Brownie19]

TB just traded Diego Castillo to the Mariners? This is insane.

The Brewers and Giants are still looking to add an impact bat, per source. The Blue Jays are also seeking a bat, even after dealing two top prospects for Jose Berríos.

The Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing a deal to acquire left-hander Daniel Norris from the Detroit Tigers, sources tell @kileymcd and me.

There is some buzz about potential multi-team deals that one exec said would be "pretty chaotic" if they came to fruition. Thinking teams with multiple players to deal (such as the Cubs with Bryant/Baez/Kimbrel/Davies) could try to orchestrate a multi-team trade to fill needs.

Unless Kirk is being moved, this makes little sense. And who are they going to move Kirk for?

[TwistedLogic]

Kimbrel gone.

 

[max silver]

I believe Gomes is a rental only. It could easily be McGuire being moved off the roster instead of moving out Kirk.

[Laika]

Kimbrel gone.

 

 

There's a flimsy rumour that Chicago traded Garrett Crochet for him. If true, lmao.

[KevinGregg]

Kimbrel gone.

 

First domino to fall. Hopefully we get one of the 2nd tier guys

[KevinGregg]

Sure, if the return is good enough. If he's headlining a package for Schwarber and Scherzer, for example, yes I'd pull that trigger.

 

I used to get a lot more married to the Jays top prospects. Then Anthony Gose turned out to be a replacement level player and Devon Travis could never stay on the field and Travis d'Arnaud just had a meh career and Brett Lawrie played himself out of the league and Franklin Barreto became nothing for the A's and Dalton Pompey essentially retired at 25 years old and Anthony Alford turned into a pumpkin and Jeff Hoffman went on to post a 6.13 ERA and Aaron Sanchez literally died to blisters and Roberto Osuna beat up his girlfriend (allegedly) and now Nate Pearson is always incapacitated.

 

How many of those guys were considered untouchables by Jays fans at various points? Many of the guys that were traded brought back quality talent. Many of the others could have brought back high-value assets and were instead kept and became zeros for the Blue Jays.

 

I love Martin. He's my second favorite guy in the Jays system and was my #1 until Moreno broke out. I wouldn't have an easy time seeing him get moved. But I also know that the Blue Jays have plenty of home grown talent on the major league roster and need to make trades to supplement that and you're not going to get an ace pitcher for Samad Taylor.

 

Nice post in hindsight

The #Cubs will receive second baseman Nick Madrigal and pitcher Codi Heuer from the #WhiteSox for Craig Kimbrel.

[TwistedLogic]

[Laika]

Damn, Madrigal and Codi Heuer for Kimbrel.

 

That's worse than Martin and SWR for Berrios.

 

I don't remember such a seller's market at a deadline.

[saskjayfan]

The White Sox have a seriously good looking team.

[glory]

Cubs are making some really good selling moves.

[Ray]

Yeah so the values at this years deadline is f***ed

[glory]

I actually think this is great. Teams prioritizing winning rather than hoarding prospects and saving money. I hope all trade deadlines are like this even after they expand the playoffs.

[BTS]

WTF Madrigal for Kimbrel

[Sammy225]

WTF Madrigal for Kimbrel

 

Thats a good get White Sox better Win it i guess

[TwistedLogic]

Looking at the prices for Berrios and Kimbrel, I'm f***ing annoyed how cheap the Yankees got Joey Gallo.
