    Not only that, but Stripling is a FA after this season and Ryu is a question mark depending on how hurt he is, so the Jays will need to add a SP for 2023 at the minimum, with upgrading 2022 also a priority depending on the health/effectiveness of the current 5. That's why I could see them being in on Montas. The AAA SP depth, and SP depth in the system in general, is lacking. Tiedmann is only 19 so probably not the best idea to pencil him in any time soon, and Pearson is likely a RP at this point. It might require too much prospect capital to pull these off, but trading for Montas and Happ would be the ideal trade deadline.

    Atkins hasn't shown much interest in spending on relievers during this tenure, whether via FA or trade, so I tend to agree he probably doesn't trade Groshans for a reliever (unless it's Hader or someone like that with a track record of being elite). I think he's more likely to pursue Montas, especially if Ryu is out for a while. The A's seem to love prospects that are close to being in the bigs so Groshans would probably interest them, though obviously it would take more than just him.

    A super utility role is a great spot for Biggio if his bounce back is legit. He will still get a bunch of playing time in that role and he’s a much needed LH bat.
  4. glory
    I could definitely see the Jays trading Groshans. What type of value does he have is the question.
  5. glory
    Montoyo low key happy that he gets to use an additional reliever.

    The fact that Tapia hasn't been Panik'd yet is disappointing.
  7. glory
    If Jansen isn't the one traded out of the 3, I'd be pretty shocked.

    Stripling resembling the Dodgers version of him pre-2020 is a nice surprise so far. Hope it continues. Contract Year Strip wants to get paid.

    At least Kirk will be in the lineup tomorrow before his scheduled off day Monday.
  10. glory
    Agreed. Charlie and/or the org doesn’t know how to time these off days to the team’s advantage. If Kirk is going to catch 4 days a week, then you have 4 games a week to DH Springer/Vlad. That seems pretty reasonable. Just f’n plan the DH days for the days Kirk catches. They could have easily had Kirk DH today and Springer DH tomorrow with Kirk catching. It’s the Tigers so hopefully it doesn’t matter but if this was an important series against a good team then that would be horrendous. Tapia is going to end up with more PA’s than Kirk this season, and it will be done intentionally.
  11. glory
    The question I have is if you replaced Tapia on the roster with Katoh, would Kirk have still been on the bench today? If yes, then it’s clearly an org thing and we have to deal with this BS. But with Charlie you never know. A year ago he was pinch hitting Valera for Espinal and Kirk. Now the latter two could be all stars and Valera isn’t in the league. I don’t trust Charlie with anything.

    Springer gets a much needed DH day after playing like 7 innings in the field after an off day. Kirk on the bench and Tapia in the lineup.
  13. glory
    Jansen is definitely the one they trade, it’s just a matter of when. It won’t be during this season so this off season at the earliest. He has the fewest years of control left and can’t stay healthy. Plus, while Montoyo doesn’t do it often enough, he at least uses Kirk in the DH spot from time to time, something he won’t do with Jansen, so Kirk is likely the more useful player to the team.

    Jays and Rays about to win 95-100 games each and face each other, while the Red Sox going to win like 86 and face the Twins.
  15. glory
    The long man out of the pen pulled after 23 pitches (+ being really effective), replaced by a 1 inning reliever who sucks and is allowed to go up to 36 pitches because Charlie wanted to squeeze another (bad) inning out of him. Letting the long man who was actually effective pitch deeper into the game was probably too complicated.
  16. glory
    With the way Montoyo uses the DH, I don't think Tellez would have panned out here. The Jays basically need to trade for Ian Happ (or someone who can play a bunch of positions + being able to hit) to get the most of the DH spot the way it is used currently. The org seems to want to use DH to rest regulars, and that hurts when they have DH's on the roster.
  17. glory
    Wow I had no idea Richards was this bad on the season (5.68 FIP, -0.5 WAR). Probably need to get him off the roster.
  18. glory
    Not sure why Thornton was taken out of the game. He threw 2.1 innings but only threw 23 pitches and was doing pretty well. I know it's an off day tomorrow and using as many relievers as possible is Charlie's drug of choice, but would have thought they'd try to get as many innings as possible out of Thornton with Kikuchi giving no length.
  19. glory
    Damn, Tapia with some pop.
  20. glory
    It's possible/likely that rest days are out of Charlie's control, but batting Tapia 5th is 100% him. That's undisputable. No one is that insane in this sport except him.
  21. glory
    Jansen going to the IL apparently. Luckily the Jays have a great young catching talent in the minors who is already on the 40 man roster that they can bring up. Welcome back, Zack.
  22. glory
    The Baseball God’s saw the two catcher lineup and Tapia on the bench, and said “not on my watch”.
  23. glory
    Yeah this is the A lineup. You can argue about placement with certain players, but all the right players are playing, and that's all that matters. Appreciate the days we get to see the 2 catcher lineup.
  24. glory
    No team was willing to go more than 3 years on Ryu if I recall, and 3 years was probably the right amount. Jays had to go higher to get him. Hopefully he can be useful when he's back on the mound but he was always a health risk, never mind age.
  25. glory
    He has a .429 BABIP over that span, so it's not going to continue, but at least he showing some signs of life. Grichuk post 2018 was basically a 0.5 WAR level player, give or take, so the bar isn't high to at least match his level of value.
