This is true, but I'm not sure what we'd be trading for right now.
Don't see too many weak spots in the roster right now except for high leverage bullpen guys, and I don't think you're trading top prospects for bullpen arms.
After this game Teo and Biggio might get above a 100 wRC+
That would give the Jays 10 regulars above that mark with Chapman the only main guy under and he's at 93 wRC+
Team is raking now
Yeah, if only Gausman and his 2.67 ERA / 3.0 fWAR would just pitch better
lulz
Him being 5-5 is a f***ing travesty
His team mates don't help him enough.
Seeing as they just signed Kikuchi to a 3 year deal with starter money, I bet he'll get a lot of rope to find consistency.
Hopefully he doesn't hang himself with it.
He had a 2.36 ERA / 2.65 FIP in May (5 starts) and that includes 2 starts vs the Yankees.
I sure wish the Jays had more swing and miss in their bullpen
0-2 right away on Cabrera and he can't finish him after 8 pitches
EDIT: Nice, got him on the 9th
I noticed the Grichuk/Tapia trade thread hadn't been bumped in a while, so I went and looked up how Grich had been doing lately
lol
Not so good
.680 OPS
79 wRC+
-0.5 fWAR
He a right handed and more expensive Tapia
I'll say it again...
Raimel Tapia with his 69 wRC+, .600 OPS and -0.6 WAR
Has almost as many PAs this season as....
Alejandro Kirk with his 155 wRC+, .891 OPS and 1.9 WAR
And that's with Danny Jansen hurt for most of the season so far!
What the f***?
I wouldn't mind seeing the Jays go after both Quintana and Bednar from the Pirates if Ryu is indeed FUBAR for the season.
I'd say Reynolds too, but that wouldn't be cheap and I doubt the Jays FO has too much interest in paying that price when he's struggling this season and I also wonder how inclined they would be to break up the "Barrio"
Ah f*** it. Jays should definitely kick tires on a package for Quintana/Bednar/Reynolds.
That's a big fat pile of exactly what they need IMO.
Mid rotation / back end lefty starter
High leverage reliever/closer with multiple years of control that can miss bats
Switch hitting OF with multiple years of control so we can get rid of Zimmer and stop playing Tapia so much
