Must-sweep series

[glory]

If the Jays sweep this series then they'd be 3 back of Boston for the WC. Do they still sell in that scenario? I would think common sense would still prevail (this team isn't good) but the GB column would make the optics of selling harder to justify (and this org cares way too much about optics). 

[SeranthonySantander]

This is a good opportunity to show the red socks some of our players who they might want.  Maybe Vlad.  Maybe Cease.  Give em 100m and they take both players we don’t get anything back

good optics = ticket sales

Davis Schneider always plays well in Fenway Park. He would hit 35 plus homers a season if was a Red Sox.

Probably not tbh 

I wonder if there is a middle road.... sell and buy...

you wondered right.  But we don’t know what it is.

That's what I expect in that the team will sell short term assets and buy longer term assets to help in future seasons. If they move out Gausman and Bieber I could also see some stopgap rotation assets required for the remainder of the season.

Why the hell would the Jays trade Cease?

I don’t want to trade cease.  It would entail someone taking on a Vlad contract too and eating a lot of money like I said.  Rogers wouldn’t do it though I think we are stuck with him for 14 years 

unless he does a wander Franco and gets caught with a gun or something, maybe his contract is voided.

Trade for guys with control who could help a bit this season, but also next season as well. 

Carmen Mlodzinski is rotting away in the Pirates bullpen. I'm sure the Jays could acquire him and move him into the rotation. 

Braxton Garrett has been rotting away in AAA. Would slot nicely in the Jays rotation somewhere. Marlins could definitely use a Gausman or Bieber for their rotation.

Tigers likely open to trading some pieces - maybe Parker Meadows or Kerry Carpenter. 

Rotation:

Cease

Yesavage

Garrett

Mlodzinski 

Miles 

Not bad and that's a solid middle road IMO. Still could get hot in August and get back into the Postseason picture. If not, you have some controllable arms for next season and with some upside.
