In the best tools section they had Smith listed for Best Hitter for Average and Best Strike Zone Discipline
-
There's a plausible chance Yajure produces more value than an injured Taillon from the get go, and then the deal is a real coup for Pittsburgh It's weird to see the Yankees take this route and not just pay the money for Tanaka, just seems a bit against their nature.
-
Yeah I think it's a pretty solid haul for the Bucs, wouldn't all four slide into their top 20?
-
Canaan Smith is pretty interesting, seems like a pure hitter and built like a tank. Yajure can probably be auditioned for a role in their rotation right away, though probably isn't more than a backend or mid rotation guy at best.

A few on twitter saying it's a four prospect package heading to Pittsburgh

No I completely understand your point and I'm not saying it isn't a valid one. It's a bit encouraging to see he's touching 94 in the off season, but until a team actually gets to see him back to pre injury form, there's still reason to be concerned whether he has lingering issues. If it was a regular off season for him there would be little doubt the velocity returns over the spring. If he has been ramping himself up to showcase for a contract and still only sitting in the low 90s, maybe there's still something there. Like MikeM alluded to, the concern about the velocity returning isn't so much about performance as durability.

It's too vague to read too much into in my opinion. If he touched 94 but was still only sitting low 90s, that would mean his velocity is still down from pre 2020 level. Then you're left hoping he completely rebounds throughout the spring, rather than actually getting to see him there before taking the chance on signing him.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/12/latest-on-james-paxton.html The report of him hitting 94 this off season starts to sound a bit encouraging, but being able to touch 94 in an off season workout is obviously not the same being able to maintain it throughout starts for a season and beyond with that injury record. Paxton and Tanaka are the same age and their projections are similar enough to assume that interest should come down to which guy you think stays healthy enough to perform to expectations.
-
In the interest of fairness, we could include McGuire in the deal, as the evidence suggests he's also seen heavy strain on his elbow as well.
-
They can't be happy with their depth behind the plate, might be something there

Saw a funny tweet to that effect prior to the trade "Dubois for Laine will be the funniest outcome for two guys who wanted the hell out of Ohio and Manitoba and end up getting traded to Canadian Ohio and American Manitoba"

Rosterbation Discussion Thread (2021)

Well then participate in the thread properly and fire the guy -
Maybe not

"Now coming to the plate, shortstop Greedy Rigormortis"

I never learned which of them is which, they were just Tim and Sid, now they are both Tim or Sid.

Two years + club option/buyout seems about right

" Following a strong first season in San Diego in 2017, Yates added a splitter to his arsenal and saw his career take off; in 2018-19, Yates led all qualified relievers with a 1.67 ERA and ranked third with a 2.14 SIERA over the life of 123 2/3 innings. Along the way, he struck out a whopping 38.7 percent of the hitters he faced, while walking just 6.1 percent of opponents. Among qualified MLB relievers, only Josh Hader and Edwin Diaz topped him in terms of K-BB% during that time." Drool worthy

This is some of the biggest Blue Jays news of the off season

Three teams in three years, you're going to get a reputation as a problem fan.

Crazy how long we've known about the Jays landing Beltre, yet it's still not official
-
Keon Kela comes to mind as a buy low reliever. Not listed as a top 50 FA, likely because he hasn't pitched much the past two seasons. Still only 27 and has a pretty good prior track record, late inning type stuff if healthy.

Lol reminds me of his roast, so many great jokes about his love for himself.

Nailed it
