I assume all you Joc (Pederson) Sniffers (see what I did there?) will love this move as it frees up the DH spot to add a DH with some power instead of Horwitz.
This is a weird ass trade.
I'm having a hard time gauging what everyone is worth.
-Horwitz could be a slap hitting DH who is essentially worthless or he could be a 125 wRC+ 1B/DH/occasional 2B who makes peanuts.
-Gimenez could be a star player on a reasonable deal or he could be an overpaid defense only type that is probably worth a spot in the lineup, but is a poor fit for a team needing more offense.
-Sandlin could be a good middle reliever or he might not even be worth 25-man spot. At least he has options.
-Nick Mitchell doesn't appear to be much but a 4th round pick is probably worth something!
Just in case anyone has concerns about Gimenez's contract, keep in mind that Max Fried is also a 3 WAR player.
He just signed for 8 years, 218 million for his age 31-38 seasons.
I mean that's one way of describing him lol.
He put up 12.7 WAR the past three years, projects for over 3 WAR next season, is entering his just his age 26 season, and is under team control through 2030.
Nah Treinen is under an ever constant risk to miss whole seasons. He even threw up negative WAR his final year in Oakland. He's definitely elite when he's right, but he's rarely right anymore.
Regardless, I'm only point out his deal because you think Yimi getting a paltry 2 year deal is somehow the Jays bidding against themselves.
Blake Treinen is 40 years old and has thrown 50 innings combined the past 3 seasons. He just got 2 years, 22 million. Seems slightly under market rate for Yimi, elbow issue and all.
They must hate Romano's medicals and are fine with Yimi's. If they are right no problems with this but if they are wrong they will have some egg on their face for sure.
