The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Kevin Kiermaier from the Toronto Blue Jays, according to a source familiar with the deal.

can't really hate the deadline deals. All the expiring contracts are gone, intriguing prospects actually acquired.

 

I can see some thinking a Green deal would have been welcome, I can see that argument. Money involved probably sunk that. The fact they even got a warm body for Richards is kind of amazing. Figured they might get their Coke machine stocked at best.

Tigers are getting Trey Sweeney and Thayron Lirzanzo back. Both guys I like in Fantasy :)

 

All kinds of trades coming through on MLBN. A frenzy.

Lost opportunity to get a some more assets and dump salary. Backend RPs can get you some solid returns.

 

They can, but dumping the salary would greatly negate the return. Plus, all the teams looking at pen upgrades found their guys elsewhere. There's only so many destinations. Jays would have to have eaten a fairly large chunk of his salary to get a good return, which pretty much negates the point of the salary dump.

 

Having him around for another season is far from being a problem.

We traded 7 guys man. Can't you just accept that they may have canvased the league, looking for good value in return for Green and it wasn't there, so they held him? If Green's pitching great next year, they can deal him then. He'd probably have more value as an expiring contract than he would with $10.5M attached to him next year.

 

I don't get the WTF, like you're all confused about this. The Jays just has a REALLY GOOD trade deadline. It certainly seems like they know what they're doing.

I'm happy with all the other trades. Just don't get holding him if we are doing a sell off.

 

If they couldn't get a good return, so be it. I would be surprised a contender wouldn't want him.

Would you have traded Bassitt for return Tigers got for Flaherty?
