Someone gonna have to tell me how to embed tweets lol

[Solaxys]

I love Canadian players! Jays should trade for more

 

Pivetta, Taillon, Naylor, Votto

 

Bring em all home.

[Laika]

Weird how this works but ALL OF A SUDDEN I REALLY LIKE TONY BASS AND ZAKPOP AND JORDAN GROSSCHAN SUXXXXXX

[RustyTrombone]

Groshans stock was dropping fast, feels like another Austin Martin/SWR situation where we moved a prospect before his value completely craters.

[HERPDERP]

It's underwhelming because this rules us out on Pablo Lopez. I think its a good trade that addresses a need but we still need one more SP.

1234 = the number in the link of the tweet, typically starts with 155

[RobinThicc]

Just goes to show how far groshans has fallen

[saskjayfan]

Bass has actually been a top 10 RP this year.

 

I remember his wife being pretty hot too...so there's that I guess.

I own Lopez in my fantasy league and he's been complete trash for the last two months now to be fair

[jaysblue]

Bass and Pop definitely improve the pen. Not the biggest names, but they'll be nice guys for the rest of this season and next year!

[max silver]

I mean it's underwhelming but the bullpen is definitely improved. Not enough but... It's something.

 

Go take a look at what Bass has been doing this season. This move is a little under the radar but Bass might actually be one of the most effective relievers moved this at the deadline. A 1.41 ERA/2.79 xERA/2.06 FIP/1.4 FWAR reliever is a massive upgrade to the Jays pen.

[THANOS]

So new BP hierarchy:

Romano CL

Bass SU1

Garcia SU2

Mayza MR1

Cimber MR2

Phelps MR3

Pop MR4

 

7 miles of dogshit after this, am I forgetting anyone?

 

If we land Thor & Iglesias, the BP looks even better.

 

Bullpen

 

CL: Romano

SU1: Iglesias

SU2: Bass

MR1: Garcia

MR2: Mayza

MR3: Cimber

MR4: Pop

LR: Kikuchi

 

Rotation

 

1. Manoah

2. Gausman

3. Berrios

4. Stripling

5. Thor

And a very cheap option for next year.

Pop probably has some serious potential but will need an offseason in the lab with the nerds

[jaysblue]

Pivetta, Taillon, Naylor, Votto

 

Bring em all home.

 

Pivetta would be a nice SP if the Red Sox are selling off completely, though doubt they move any arms.

Not sure how well other teams have done but the Jays seem to have done poorly drafting and developing. If this continues the value of Jays prospects will plummet in trade talks.

[jaysblue]

Yeah I see Bass having more of a meaningful impact this season. Pop definitely has some nice potential longer term and love the team control.

I don't think we were ever adding Pablo Lopez man. Gaus/Manoah/Berrios is the playoff rotation with Strip getting a Game 4 start if/when needed. We're looking at rentals or back of the rotation guys for depth. We just added the bullpen guys. I think they might be scrambling to find more depth in CF due to Springers elbow and pushing hard for Happ.

Manoah, Bo, Espinal, Teo, Jansen and Kirk say hello.

[max silver]

Yeah looks like he needs to work on developing a more effective secondary pitch as his repertoire has no swing and miss right now. Upper 90's wormburner inducing sinker is a nice starting point though.

[RustyTrombone]

Imagine if we turn Pop into another Romano and have two kids from the GTA shutting down games at the back end of the bullpen. Would be a dream come true marketing wise

[Ray]

So we basically got Clay Holmes Jr. with a power sinker and a top tier slider.

 

[THANOS]

Yep I agree.

 

I overreacted in my initial post, but, it's true, Groshans is a heavy declining asset like Martin & SWR were, and Bass is really having an under-the-radar, great season. Pop is definitely interesting with the velo and movement and the Top 30 slider. With the right development and pitch mix, he could be special.

[Ray]

Also,

 

Addison Barger >>>> Jordan Groshans

[Jays24]

Pop is also from Brampton

 

I have changed my stance on the trade lol

[Jimcanuck]

Not bad. I don't think Groshans will be anything more than AAAA material and no room on Jays for him even if he becomes more.

 

Expect 1 more deal, Zimmer replacement

[PhillyBlueJay]

No pleasing you f***ers huh lol.

 

Love this, post of the day!!!
