I feel like we should finally make the Jon Gray dream finally happen. Just years later. His velocity returned this year and I feel if you get him with Pete Walker he might be able to finally unlock is full potential. And I think they could get him at a fairly affordable rate. Still only 29.
The other big target I want the Jays to look at is Kyle Schwarber if he doesn’t become a Legend in Boston this Post Season. He’s the perfect high on base Lefty at-bat to hit at the top of the Jays lineup. Imagine him and Springer back to back to start a game. We can rotate him with Gurriel and Vlady between LF, 1B, and DH. Also feel he could come at an affordable rate.
Grichuk needs to be moved off this roster. Whatever amount of money you have to send a long with him you do it. Hopefully you can get a decent reliever in return from him or something but wouldn’t expect much. I think Colorado might be our perfect bitch team for this type of move. They are going to lose Story. They need to move on from Blackmon. Gotta sell the fan base on some power. In comes Gruchuk who probably easily hits 30 homeruns in that ballpark.
Will be interesting to see how they build this bullpen. But I don’t think its in a horrible spot as it was last year. Romano, Mayza, Cimber, Richards will all be back next season. Couple more power arms and some depth and we good to go.
Should be an exciting off-season. Even if we lose Ray and or Semien this team has an excellent chance to get better collectively. And the core is very much intact and in an excellent place to build off.
