    That might force a doubleheader for tomorrow which would not be a good thing. At best it would push back the Skubal matchup a day so just prolonging the inevitable.
  3. max silver
    This Blue Jays squad has been making life miserable for a lot of high shelf starters recently so hopefully they can at least get Skubal's pitch count up to get him out of the game a little sooner.

    Both of Roden and Loperfido are controllable outfielders who are nearly fully formed/MLB ready, so perhaps a package that includes one of them in addition to a prospect package could be of interest to the Padres.

    If Cease is actually available I believe he would represent the Blue Jays best chance to acquire a front of the rotation arm. I'm sure I would hate the prospect cost but I do believe the Blue Jays have enough depth in the system to make the Padres a very compelling offer without completely wiping out the top end of the system. I like Bader as a target a lot for the Jays. He would largely make Straw expendable and provide the team with a really solid bench bat who could play everyday when required and not hurt the team in the slightest.

    I think that's ultimately wiser vs paying a premium for controllable relievers. The Blue Jays have been proving themselves to be astute at converting scrap heap and low cost trade acquisitions into very effective relievers so I don't see an overwhelming need to send out a lot of prospect value for the pen.

    The Padres have Jackson Merrill roaming center field for them this season with Tatis providing elite defense in right field. Perhaps they could shift Merrill to left field or something to make this work though.

    I don't think Varsho would necessarily help the team land a top of the rotation starter. He only has a year of remaining control, and it's yet to be determined what he is moving forward after the offseason shoulder surgery. Competitive teams wouldn't typically be trading away their top arms, and I would tend to expect them to largely target younger pieces as the key returns in trade. I believe Varsho is far more valuable to the Blue Jays at this point vs a potential trade return given the extended struggles at the plate of Straw as this team's rotation largely depends on balls in play being turned into outs, and an elite center field defender such as Varsho who typically runs around a league average bat is a key piece.

    Who is everyone? I'm surprised you don't want to trade him given the steady stream of prior comments about firing him into the sun.
  10. max silver
    I think Barger has a more complete toolset.
  11. max silver
    I'll go with Dylan Cease as a potentially available front of the rotation rental.
  12. max silver
    McMahon is also a very solid defender and I believe he has a more realistic shot to not be a giant black hole offensively. McMahon's numbers away from Coors Field are terrible at 64 wRC+, but Hayes actually manages to be far worse away from home at 36 wRC+.
  13. max silver
    Hayes 61 wRC+ over the last two seasons is MLB's worst with players at a minimum of 700 PA. With McMahon it would require more of an incremental level of improvement required to allow him to reach being a league average bat and he's a far more suitable addition to a team intending to compete.

    And he has a rather sizable home/away split as well. The Statcast expected home runs chart doesn't show him gaining any kind of home run bump from playing in Yankee Stadium, but they have had success in boosting the success at the plate of their trade acquisitions many times in the past.
  15. max silver
    Barger sort of defies explanation as he drastically reduced his strikeout rate at the major league level, but all of Wagner, Schneider and Loperfido were enjoying sustained runs of success in AAA after slow starts.
  16. max silver
    This seems like something that could eventually require surgery to correct. Hopefully the cortisone shot allows him to successfully return at some point this season but those always feel like more of a bandaid solution and there's often a price to be paid later.
  17. max silver
    It's sort of a pick your poison scenario as each of them have endured painful seasons. Both of these guys are reclamation projects at this point. Alcantara has a far more reasonable contract and more realistic upside to offer to whatever team helps to get him turned around.
  18. max silver
    I don't tend to think that Kwan would represent enough of an upgrade to the club compared to what they already possess in house to make it worthwhile to pay the prospect cost of acquiring him. While the farm system is in dramatically better shape compared to a season ago at this time there aren't unlimited trade resources available. During the wild run up the standings the Blue Jays are MLB's second highest scoring team, being only a single run behind the first place Rays while playing one less game. I just don't see another left handed hitting outfielder being a huge priority given the somewhat pedestrian pitching staff that the team employs.
  19. max silver
    Just because the Blue Jays can take on bad contracts doesn't make a good case that they should be doing so. Severino may be cheap in terms of prospect capital due to his onerous salary, but he's earning number 3 starter money and largely producing value closer to that of a number 4/5. I don't think the Blue Jays need to do the Athletics a massive favor in taking this contract off of their hands.
  20. max silver
    Alcantara is a total reclamation project at this point of time, and I'd want no part of sending a large prospect package out in a deadline deal as it's far from a given that he could even return to being an effective rotation member this season. Unless the Marlins are looking to just get out of his deal and not extract maximum prospect return I doubt that they'll sell him at the deadline as I suspect they'd be receiving pennies on the dollar compared to if they manage to get him back to resembling the more effective past version of himself.
  21. max silver
    That depends on which metric you are looking at. Yankees are 6th by DRS at +33 but down in 20th by OAA at -6.
  22. max silver
    Something something run differential. Michael Kay is likely mainlining Prozac right now and I'm all for it.
  23. max silver
    You were stating a few short months ago that this team had no future whatsoever so your standards are obviously not particularly aligned with reality.
  24. max silver
    What are you even basing this on? Every time Vlad is struggling this type of criticism immediately gets tossed his way. What do you expect the front office to do exactly if you think he's ignoring the coaches, send him to the timeout corner or something?
  25. max silver
    I had a peak at the Statcast box score for Alcanatara's start today and he allowed 10 hard hit balls so it appears as though he was rather fortunate to escape without allowing further damage.
