Jays still need a bat. Preferably an Outfielder.

 

Paul DeJong is certainly a much better player than Espinal atleast. Defensively could play 2B when Bo is back against Lefties.

Yes

 

We've stabilized the infield

 

But the offense is going to get worse

 

Yes need an OF bat to compensate esp if Varsho continues to suck

DeJong is something like 96th percentile OAA this season and he handles LHP to the tune of a 129 wRC+ (.266/.368/.453). Career wise he's generally stronger against RHP. This is a nice improvement on Espinal who's really fallen backwards defensively.

 

I'd like to see one more bat come in as well.

DeJong is a good Shortstop for sure we probably upgraded defensively to be honest but missing Bo’s bat for any period of time sucks. DeJong does have some pop though so maybe he can smack out a few more in AL East bandboxes.

Well the amount of money justifies the prospect return a little more. But still crazy for Mets who can flex their financial muscle.

 

Verlander got his money and goes back to a place he’s won and probably didn’t want to leave to begin with.

D-Backs trade Chafin to the Brewers. That's a bit odd.

I'm pretty impressed with Cohen. A lot of big spending owners would draw the line when it comes to spending like this to stock up the farm system.

 

They'll probably just turn around and make a bunch of signings again this offseason.

Orioles postured like they don't want to trade any prospects but the reality is they kind of have to.

 

They are going to need trade some of those infield prospects eventually. Only so many spots.

 

They could trade multiple good prospects and still have a top 5 farm. White Sox should hold out for as much as possible.

Apparently the Marlins are getting Burger from the White Sox.

 

Highly anticipating the return.

I don't understand the Orioles if they do nothing. You never punt an opportunity to win with the assumption that you will have a large window because s*** happens fast in baseball, things change, especially when you live in the American League East. They don't even have to trade their top prospects to make an impact today. They're f***ing fools if they stick with this rotation because they have a chance.

The deadline ain't over yet Cowboy..

 

Also, it can be anticipated trades will still be coming in up until 30 mins after the deadline (the announcement part of it).

Well, they chose not to spend money in the offseason and it was basically the same decision because everybody and their grandma could tell their core was looking good and they were primed to be competitive. So I would not be shocked if they cheap out and stand pat.

I’ve been saying for weeks they won’t make any significant moves here even though they should. We’ll see if they get Cease or not.

E-Rod vetoing a trade to the Dodgers is crazy he must hate them.

 

He’s an odd dude. Maybe he just didn’t want to move?
