The Houston Astros are said to have offered third baseman Alex Bregman to Detroit for Fulmer and reliever Justin Wilson, while the Chicago Cubs supposedly dangled a three-player package that included infielder Javier Baez, Fenech reports.
Thornton s*** command, SRF can't command the fastball, Zeuch the Jordan Zimmerman clone, Murphy the guy who cheated baseball with his ileal move, Borucki the kid that can't be healthy, Merrywather the new Danny Salazar?
#Genius Ross Atkins.

On a conference call, Jays GM Ross Atkins says the team's moves have 'turned 14 years of control into 42 years of control'.
gonna be tough for the marketing folks to work that into a slogan.
-Don't like the haul for Stroman (Problems outside the field shouldn't interfere on the field/trades).
-Aaron Sanchez trade. Apparently someone told Atkins "You must remove Stroman and Sanchez from the team for their problems outside the field)
It's not just a matter of stats. Some players work on improving an area of their game, and the results or stats in that process are negative, but they develop a skills in the process.
Do you remember the Aaron Sanchez "Competitive walks" at minor league level?
They worked for good. Bad results in minor leagues products of those walks, but worse result in MLB
