On an off note:

 

 

I hope we make a run for this guy when he gets posted in a few years

 

Elite speed/athleticism in CF, Ichiro-esque bat

 

We seriously need to acquire an everyday CF with plus D some time soon. Its been sorely lacking

Ya he's going to be posted (at least the first time he can be posted) is when Lourdes/Teo contracts fall off.

Perfect time to get this dude especially with no outfield prospects to speak of.

You need to up your backyard party game.

Bo Bichette's long lost brother?

Bo Bichette's long lost brother?

 

looks wise maybe but do you see Bo winning back to back gold gloves any time soon?

Why couldn’t it be both?

Yeah a guy like George Springer would be great

[jaysblue]

Bring back Vernon Wells or Superman!

If Springer could actually play center field full time that would also be great.

We're at a point where we hope Springer can just DH most of bis remaining contract, let alone transition to RF...

Oh come on it's not nearly that grim yet. Springer should hopefully be able to have the elbow issue addressed in the offseason and be in better shape for 2023. His lower half/core injuries of last year haven't appeared to be an issue this season so I suspect the elbow will likely not be a big issue next season either.

Otto Lopez is here with #BlueJays on the taxi squad. Matt Gage is here and will be activated tonight, in place for Banda. George Springer is going to do some activities on the field today and team will know more tomorrow

So...

 

Who makes up the bullpen as of tomorrow and who is gone?

 

And Zimmer is presumably DFA?

Roster Resource has White in AAA right now. If they bring him up to the big league team they could option Collins or DFA Zimmer.

Likely because that's where he was for the Dodgers at the time of the trade and we haven't activated him on either Jays or Bisons roster yet. I would assume he'll be coming to the Jays, but Richards doesn't have any options left and despite how bad he's been I suspect they don't want to lose him for nothing. White could stay stretched out in AAA until either a start or some length out of the pen is needed.

Ya that seems like the best place for him. He will have to be our Kikutchi insurance.

[Jays24]

Romano/Garcia/Bass/Mayza/Cimber/Pop/Phelps/White

 

We're not losing Richards for nothing so he'll be on the team over White. White will need to stay stretched out in case of injury or if Kikutchi still sucks.

And Stripling on the IL... f*** f***

Kaitlyn McGrath

@kaitlyncmcgrath

 

Ross Stripling is going to the IL with a right glute strain. Matt Peacock is here for the corresponding move. #BlueJays manager John Schneider said the hope is the injury requires only a short recovery. Stripling felt it in his last start

[Jonn]

Who in the flying f*** is Matt Peacock and where did he magically appear from. Never heard this dudes name in my life

Blue Jays expecting their four adds to join them in Minny tomorrow. Mitch White, acquired to cover injury scenarios like that of Stripling, “is an option, among others,” to join rotation, says John Schneider. “He definitely has that skillset to jump right in there if needed.”

[jaysblue]

This is why it was important acquiring another SP at the deadline. Mitch White will fill in nicely for Stripling, but now have to hope Kikuchi doesn't implode and the Jays big three of Gausman, Manoah and Berrios stay healthy or else things could get ugly. Lack of depth in the rotation is worrisome.

He will jump into the rotation. Who else do the Blue Jays have lmao? This is why Mitch White was brought in.
