Matt Chapman to the Jays for Hoglund, Smith, Logue, and Snead

[Deadpool]

 

I am 1000% happy with this return.

 

Hoglund stings a bit, but not enough to be upset.

[L54]

The only thing I will miss from that group is Kirby Snead’s hair

Hoglund was a nice 'spect, but its not like you were going to get him for free. The big 'spects still in the org. Great deal

[Spanky99]

I actually like that idea quite a bit. The qualifying offer could have cooled his market a lot. With Ray and Semien we are 2 qualifying offers to the good already so Conforto could be a nice add.

 

Damn, that's right... the pick would be f*** all. Yeah, I'd love Conforto.

[Deadpool]

1) Probably 2) Yes, it's a PR move... everyone was hyped on Freeman and now they have to salvage or it's a massive let down. 3) Yes it applies to trades too

 

So, want to re-evaluate any of these things? 'cause like... 1) wrong 2) wrong 3) wrong

[JFD]

I hope you guys know the return is going to be way more significant than any of you can imagine. 1) It always is 2) They're trying to save face after missing out on Freeman 3) It's the Toronto surplus charge

 

Or not lol

[L54]

Another boring return by the A’s

[Stangstag]

Hoglund hurts

[Angrioter]

Another boring return by the A’s

 

I dont think so. Smith could be a solid 3B this year. Hoglund is a good asset

[Spanky99]

Davidi: Blue Jays deal for Matt Chapman is done. Kevin Smith, Gunnar Hoglund, Zach Logue and Kirby Snead are headed to Athletics, per source.

 

Yup, more than fine with that return. Let’s gooooo.

 

Hoglund stings, but yeah, a fair deal.

[Ehjays]

I was all for the trade until I saw Hoglund, I was pumped to see him. Guess we had to give up something to get something. We needed a 3B. Lets play ball.

Reverse-jinxed - you're welcome!

Yep, Hogland is the only tough one to lose.

 

But, we still have Pearson & Ricky Tiedemann, so I'm good with it.

[Deadpool]

Hoglund hurts

 

Hurts is probably overstating it... He's got upside, but that's all he's got at this point.

 

Gunnar Hogland doesn't even have a Fangraphs page yet.

[z3r0s]

Jays really aren't attached to their 1st round picks these days are they lol.

[RobinThicc]

Dont mind the deal at all

[glory]

Good deal. Hoglund stings a bit, but if he's the best player going the other way, then the Jays did well.

[Ray]

Hoglund hurts

 

We have a huge bonus pool in this years draft given the loss of Semien and Ray. I feel like we’ll be able to replace someone of Hoglunds calibre this year.

 

Would still rather give up Hoglund than Tiedemmen.

[Sammy225]

Hoglund is the big hit here in my eyes, Smith is someone that i had a lot of curiosities about, he looks like he could be a good prospect but at 25 and always had lots of strikeouts in the minors it could go either way for him. They other 2 i don't know much about but to get talent you have to give up talent.

[Daniel Labude]

So...they still signing Freeman?

[RobinThicc]

I cant explain, but Hoglund looks like he's gonna be a journeyman lol. Just his physical appearance.

[King]

Who the hell is going to play for the A's this year?

[Sammy225]

Who the hell is going to play for the A's this year?

 

Kevin Smith.

[Spanky99]

Huge upside, bro.

[The Cats Ass]

The only thing I will miss from that group is Kirby Snead’s hair

 

[L54]

 

Is that Kirby Snead or AJ Puk??

[Deadpool]

Huge upside, bro.

 

I mean, yeah. But the last time we moved someone like this in a trade it was Jeff Hoffman, and that stung at the time too.

I legit thought it was Tiedemann, I think their both on par talent wise.

[JFD]

Who the hell is going to play for the A's this year?

 

Sad that we only play them 6 times

[Ehjays]

I will just put this here

 

Chapman highlights
