This is the type of deal that when we see others do it, we ask "Could we really not beat that?"

Like Donaldson

 

[Blitzkrug]

Wow what a coincidence!

 

[Kurtz]

Is Corey Dickerson still a free agent? Might be the guy to bring back.

 

[Cloned]

Something about the A’s and getting underwhelming packages from the Jays in big trades lol

 

[Hoverhand]

I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted the highest percentage of pitchers out of any team at the draft.

Only downside of the Chapman trade is it leaves us a tad thin in that's area.

Chapman 4th in WAR in all of the MLB in the last 4 years. And 1st in defensive run saved in all of the MLB as well.

Holy shit we got Chapman and the best piece involved was Gunnar Hoglund?

That's what I was thinking, too. Other than another bigger trade, something like Dickerson to add a LH bat would make sense.

I just want to say that this man is undefeated;

And if you need to figure out where his source is, take a look at his jersey and then remember where our President and GM came from.

but didn't he also put freeman on a jays jersey and say it was done..?

Technically that’s still possible

I really don't like they gave up a pitching prospect but at least they got a somewhat young position player. Hopefully next season they can get a pitcher haha

If there’s one thing I’m not worried about with this management group, it’s drafting pitchers.

Just need Freeman to pick LA now

Jays should have 4 picks in the top ~70 as well.

 

[djdev]

adding freeman would be like the jays adding molitor back in the day, a position player they used soley as a DH. this lineup with freeman is scaryyyyyy as a dh.

Depth Charts - Team WAR | FanGraphs Baseball

2025 projected WAR for major league baseball teams

www.fangraphs.com

Depth Charts has the Jays ranked 6th with a total 44.9 WAR projection this season;

I expect the Jays to move past the Mets and possibly the White Sox and Astros with the addition of Chapman.

3B is ranked 3rd last:

Jays should take the 7th spot with 4+ WAR

Currently the Jays are projected to finish 2nd in the MLB with 92 wins, only behind the Dodgers with 94. Chapman may get them up to 93-94

Good, draft pitching, it's what they need the most.

Said yesterday from Baerga.

If the Red Sox lose out on Freeman I bet they go stupid on Rosario.
