IKF traded to the Pirates

McAdoo is 22 and killing it in AA. What's the catch?

[AMS528]

This guy has done nothing but hit the ball since getting drafted. Has moved up really quickly since being drafted as well. Third level in two years and hasn't struggled yet.

Solid deal. Farm is less depressing.

[Slade]

Not bad if he is just part of the return.

[PitaBaby]

Looks like the fire sale isn't quite over yet.

[John_Havok]

Very solid return. Probably as close to best case scenario as possible for the Jays on the IKF signing.

[NiagaraJaysFan]

It will be interesting to see the Jays’ farm system rank after this master class of deadline expiring contracts trades.

I can't see it moving the needle too much.

 

Only top 100 guy they added was Bloss I think

Signing IKF to what looked like a bad contract, getting a 2 WAR out of him in half a season, and then trading him for at least a somewhat interesting prospect is a great outcome. Even if McAdoo ends up being nothing it’s still the best case scenario for this signing all the way around.

[rydermike]

When they signed him I was like meh, but dealing him in the first year, basically like we got a free prospect for a couple million for having him for like 4 months

[Brownie19]

Not bad if he is just part of the return.

 

You're expecting more in return for what several complained was a horrible FA signing? That's bizarre...this seems like a great trade for the Jays and should get them under the luxury tax threshold.

[Carlos Danger]

Jays sending cash also to Pirates.

[The Cats Ass]

Was #12 ranked for the Pirates on BA

[G-Snarls]

Jays sending cash also to Pirates.

 

I'd always rather them do this and get better returns

[BTS]

This is an actual prospect. Can't believe how well the IKF contract worked out

They were already under the Luxury Tax Threshold after the Kikucki trade yesterday.

One of the best value signings in recent Blue Jays history

[John_Havok]

At anyone's best guess... yes. We didn't really know that for sure. Given today's trades I would be floored if they weren't under it comfortably now.

Not bad if he is just part of the return.

 

You do realize this is IKF we traded right? Not Vladdy...

According to fangraphs they were still $570k above prior to the KK trade. It hasn't updated yet with the KK trade.

But still just a pretty well educated guess. There's all kinds of little things that the sites are never fully aware of.

[Terminator]

McAdoo went 2 for 4 of Skenes in college. He's got to be decent.

[Carlos Danger]

Was #12 ranked for the Pirates on BA

 

How is there such a discrepancy between BA and Fangraphs?

 

He was not even in the top 40 Pirates prospects in June of this year according to Fangraphs. I heard he was now rated 29th in their system.

 

BA has him #12???

[G-Snarls]

This is an actual prospect. Can't believe how well the IKF contract worked out

 

Agreed

 

Cause he's not playing this well again next year. We all know it.

Fangraphs won't be updated till year end, that's the difference, it's essentially 1 guy, friendo. Free content is slow, yet still very good in Fangraphs case.

Ok, but the farm system update was posted June 19th. So under a month and half, that much change in the overall assessment by the industry?

It was posted June 19th, not updated. Same for every team.

Well he was an honorable mention by Fangraphs on June 19 but he was 22 in A+. Since then he has been promoted to AA which is a big jump and has continued to rake in over 100 ABs.

 

Not seeing where they rank him 29th now but the difference between 29th and 12 could be as small as moving someone from 40 to 45. And smacking around AA pitching after a promotion would be enough to move someone up that small bit.

I am thrilled with the return. The Mayo tweet said part of the return so thought there might be more.
