Fair enough. There's no right answer just opinions
-
The Braves were an exception to the rule. They weren't a blueprint to producing a WS Yes there is a lot of variance in the playoffs, but you're better equipped to handle the highest leverage spots with better players which is important especially in a three game series. If we are spinning the wheel then looks like the roster is set. This team has a 98% chance to make the playoffs.

There is nothing incompetent about trading prospects for bullpen help I'm not even sure Jordan Groshans is a premium prospect. .064 ISO in AAA The current bullpen is not cutting it in October. You don't have to trade Groshans to fix it but it does need to be addressed.
-
I think you have to do a deal like this if it is an option. Groshans is blocked across the diamond and the team's biggest need is in the bullpen. Groshans lack of power is concerning for a corner bat. Maybe he has the chops to play 2B but there isn't a need there right now. Could probably play LF/RF but again no immediate need and the lack of power makes him a less than ideal fit. It's okay if the Jays trade a player somewhere else and he figures it out a few years down the road. I don't think you're trading a perennial all star in Groshans and the Jays aren't really in a position to give guys extended rope over the next few years to figure it out. He's the most likely guy to be traded at the deadline in my opinion.

Someone explain this to me like I’m 5

BREAKING: Jays FO looking to maximize value of their assets ahead of trade deadline
-
Never thought of it like this but makes total sense
-
They have Henry Davis but ya a LH CF would be even better. Not sure there are even any realistically available
-
You’re right I don’t think anyone pays full price for Kirk He’s on pace for 6 WAR A LH slugging outfielder for Jano would be nice
-
He’s like Yordan Alvarez but compressed into a 5’6 frame
-
Exactly. Not very concerned about him aging right now. He’s gotten in better shape, proven he can legitimately catch, and his stat cast page is entirely red.
-
Zimmer sucks Thanks for your service but see ya later
-
Well this is exciting Going to be interesting to see what happens when Jansen comes back.
-
I agree with you. It sucks watching some of these guys get more at bats than we’d like to see but this is one of the most forward thinking orgs and you just kinda have to trust they know exactly what they’re doing. If we like what the high performance team does in Florida then we have to understand that player usage is directly correlated.
-
Makes sense. You’re right I doubt they plan on gaining an extra year by holding him down long enough next year to make it happen. Agreed Super 2 shouldn’t really factor in to the decision. It’s an awkward spot to be in right now. He’s definitely better defensively than Collins, but I’m not convinced his bat is ready. If there was a clear opening with an extended absence by then Jano then I could get behind it. If it’s only a month I think they hold tight. Not sure what the right answer is but it’s a good problem to have
-
Has Moreno played one defensive inning at third this year?
-
I admittedly have no idea how service time works anymore but I don’t think bringing Moreno up for a couple weeks is the best idea. I’d like to see the guy torch AAA before getting the call. 95% of prospects now are butt cheeks once they get to the MLB. I’m not convinced Gabby’s bat is so special that it plays right away.
-
Am I the only one who thinks calling up Moreno would be a mistake? He’s barely slugging over .400 and he’d be tasked with taking on the toughest position on the field. If he falls flat on his face you risk both diminishing his value and confidence while employing the league’s best catching tandem. I wouldn’t be shocked if Moreno doesn’t play in the bigs in 2022.
-
Smart to take the cash especially with two knee surgeries already at 24. Great for Houston to lock up one of the more under appreciated sluggers in the game.
-
I don’t think Orelvis is a top 50 prospect either. Way too many question marks as it stands plus sliding to 3B. Not many comps that I can think of. A Joey Gallo/Ryan Mountcastle hybrid
-
From May 1 - June 1 for Orelvis BB 9.2% K 24.5% .244/.337/.547 wRC+ 139 The first month numbers were obviously concerning but gotta give him time to make adjustments during his first taste of AA. If he was still walking 2% of the time and whiffing 30% there would be way more questions.
-
20% off. Especially for the first place team
-
New ball holding Wander back?
-
Goins was awesome. Pillar was less inviting but it was after he had hit two homers off of Scherzer and I mentioned that and he warmed up lol. But you’re right Donny might’ve kept walking but those guys weren’t quite in that position.
-
I watched that game with my buddy in Saskatoon and we still talk about it. We were convinced he was going to be Mike Piazza after that game lol
