I'm super excited to follow Martinez and Moreno rocket their way through the upper reaches of the minor league system. I think Martinez may end up forcing the front office's hands with a huge AAA performance as soon as next year, whereas Moreno will likely be doing the same by the end of the summer.

This is shades of Grichuk. At their face neither of these trades are very appealing, but when you look between the lines you see two instances where the club obtained assets back for guys that were ultimately completely expendable to the team.
-
The return in this trade certainly isn't exciting but it's an addition through subtraction type of improvement. It helps to further Charlie proof the roster by removing a weak hitter from the roster that he would almost certainly overplay. It shows that the team has confidence in Kirk's ability to effectively lead the pitching staff when he's in the game as well. I do wonder how much DH time Kirk will see though as the club was pretty hesitant to do so when there were only two catchers on the big league roster.
-
Key difference is that Collins appears to be optionable whereas McGuire was not. Collins looks like he's pretty weak defensively so if Jansen were to go down with injury that would leave Kirk and Collins as the primary catching options, that would be a pretty big step down defensively.

Jays 2021/22 General Off-Season Discussion

Real men are immune to viruses right? -
I don't think Vlad's placement in the lineup had anything to do with his slump at the time, it's purely coincidental. As previously mentioned he fatigued in August and subsequently ended up dialing back the pregame training routines to allow his energy levels to recover.

Jays 2021/22 General Off-Season Discussion

Teoscar is fine to fill take over center field for a week or two at a time if necessary. -
Definitely interested to check out Tapia in action, just gotta hope he never bats this high in the lineup regular season.
-
Nate Pearson avoids the injured list for the entire season. George Springer plays in 150 games. Bo Bichette posts a 7 WAR season.
-
Real barnburner of a game between the Flames and Oilers last night. Oilers defence and goaltending both on full display as they surrendered 9 goals.
-
Gurriel isn't ever likely to be a legitimate gold glove candidate due to the misreads but you can't deny he improved leaps and bounds over the course of last season to the point where he isn't a liability in the outfield any more. Given better health and more reps Biggio certainly would have been able to do the same at third.
-
This administration has shown willingness to forgive relatively minor infractions such as the homophobic slur and McGuire parking lot incident (not attempting to downplay the dangers of drunk driving here). I think as long as Walker displays appropriate levels of remorse and agrees to make amends all will be forgiven.
-
Fisher had legit potential with the bat but he might be the worst Blue Jays outfielder I can recall, especially after he took the ball to the face.
-
Gurriel dropped a ball hit out to left center field. He and Mallex Smith got their signals crossed and almost collided, this one is likely more on the center fielder for not taking charge in the first place.
-
Little bit of bad luck mixed in with a pitch he grooved to Gallo. There was a miscommunication between the outfielders that was dropped that was called a hit, then a seeing eye single off the glove of a diving Bichette preceding the homerun.
-
Can't see him making the club off the bat but he can certainly be one of the first call ups when the need arises if he continues to have success.
-
Absolutely. This team is already stacked as is so somebody like Ramirez is more of a luxury as compared to a necessity.
-
Absolutely he's one of the two prospects in the system I would make basically untouchable unless it were for a controllable young stud or equal upside prospect at a different area of need.
-
I have suspicions that Jose Ramirez isn't a Blue Jay because the front office refused to include Orelvis in any trade discussions.
-
Nice it's big Nate time.
-
4 batters 4 squared up baseballs. Might need to shake up the pitch mix on days like that.
-
Gascan time.
-
Yeah hopefully the Pete Walker DUI is the only truly bad news of the spring.
-
Yeah he looks good so far unlike some of the other Jays starters this spring *cough cough Berrios Ryu*
-
As long as she thinks it's 8 inches that's all that matters.
