I don’t think anything will happen until the offseason. Who handles the deadline moves I’m not sure, but I doubt they’re about to cut ties before the draft or even the deadline
They bust, they take a long time to make an impact, their attrition rate is high
Taking a catcher in the first round when your farm system is bottom 5 sounds incredibly stupid unless the plan is to get him under slot
I agree 100%. The Jays have one of the 3 best starters that will be moved with a ton of teams needing pitching help. LA is probably #1 and Baltimore might be #2 both who have a ton of close to the majors prospects or guys who have bounced back and forth. I like their chances of landing a useful piece for Kikuchi
Trade em all and just fill the rotation with geezers next year
Wacha, Cobb, Gibson, Severino, Kelly, Wood, Miley, Pivetta are all FA this offseason
If you moved out 60M in SP salary you can probably sign three of those guys for almost half
Not seeing it with SWR. He’s under 8 K/9, swinging strike rate is under 10% and he doesn’t really get ground balls either. He pitches in a good park but 14 starts is not enough time to tell you anything
No, I would not care if they lost every game the rest of the year. I honestly wouldn’t. I am anxious to see how the trade deadline plays out, and then see if Atkins is still around after the season. The rest of it is just noise at this point
