For some perspective on Vladdy, one of the ‘prospects’ we just acquired is a year older than him and the other is the same age. It’s why the overreactions to his struggles are so batshit crazy.

Like, mother of god that’s a crazy deal for Kikuchi. According to Fangraphs, that’s their 2nd, 3rd, and 26th prospect. All very close to the MLB too.
So the White Sox get magic beans for Fedde and the Jays get that for Kikuchi.
Nope, still doesn't make sense.

My phone would be broken from how fast i'm hitting the screen to dial up other GMs to see what's out there for these two after this.

Was thinking the same thing. Jays going to have a top 5 farm system after tomorrow 3pm.

Congrats. You robbed our idiot GM blind. I'm friggin speechless. What a deal for you guys. Now excuse me while I go take some sleeping pills to knock my frazzled self out. Good day.

Jays fans have felt like they have been on the other end of this exact feeling a few times bro.
Hope tomorrow brings better news! Sleep well.

All that's missing is a non-descript injury to get the full Nate Pearson experience.

It's been ages since atrade has made me this furious. I would've been upset about just Bloss for Kikuchi straight up but to throw in Loperfido as well? I can't process this . You guys got the steal of the year.
Media: Ross, can we get a statement on your dealings at the trade deadline?
Atkins:
(I still want him fired, but i think everyone can agree he's done good today)

Canucks fans would like to add Louis Eriksson into evidence your honor.

This trade is a complete stunner. Makes no sense for you guys. Jays fans love Kikuchi but he is not worth anywhere near this value.

Loperfido looks like a potential strong side platoon bat. Grades nicely in LF and has an enticing power/speed combo.
Wagner is like getting a new Biggio.

It’s unbelievable, all the previous deals combined are like 1/10 of the value of what they got with this one trade.
I’m hyped
Wagner’s age/position/profile/handedness is nearly identical to Horwitz which is interesting.

Can't believe we gave up Wagner as well. We're already thin at prospects. He'll be a solid future infield /utility guy.

So nobody wants KK? I will be surprised if nobody takes him. He is very valuable as a 4th OF, and a pinch runner late in a game. I don't understand why teams don't like him? His D is still elite.

He will be. With consistent-ish playing time he'll be a damn good ball player for you guys. Just check over on reddit and clutchfans to see how this has hit us. No one wanted him gone.

4 of the guys the Jays traded for in exchange for expiring contracts is insane to think about. Either Atkins has been benched or abducted by aliens...
