Blue Jays Discussion: The trade deadline approaches (Tue, Aug 2 at 6pm ET/3pm PT) and the market is taking shape

[Tufted Titmouse]

Thor/Inglesias are near the bottom of my wish list, but I would take that duo over running Thornton/Castillo.

[Bjindaho]

We may also be targeting players who are not known to be available.

 

[Woodman19]

Lots of time and really the only "need" is a RP so im sure we can land something by the end of the day.

And if somehow they could pull off Iglesias and Robertson or Givens, that would be a spectacular deadline regardless of everything else

We’ve been saying this for hours and Days. Anything at this point would be better then Thornton and Max Castillo

 

[Vector]

Hosmer is the signing that keeps on giving*.

*the rest of the league loads of entertainment

 

[MAB1]

Jordan Groshans for Zach Pop?

 

[Bjindaho]

 

[Eyedea]

Media team already working on Zach Pop's walk out light show

 

[Woodman19]

Tons of control, mid 90's arm with a very high GB%. Sneaky good add.

 

[Advanced stats]

Hopefully more than just pop

 

[stickty111]

More coming to us

 

[ER89]

Tons of control, mid 90's arm with a very high GB%. Sneaky good add.

Isn't groshans a bit much though?

 

[stickty111]

2 very good relievers.

 

[Woodman19]

Isn't groshans a bit much though?

Perhaps, but you get 4.5 Years of control for a reliever who doesnt give up fly balls (so barely any HR's) and he has good command of the zone too.

 

[Vector]

Wouldn't be shocked if the Blue Jays get in the mix of a smaller target like Rockies' Carlos Estevez. Tall dude with velocity that has been better on the road than at home.

 

[weems]

Groshans has been brutal this season

1 HR with a sub .650 OPS

 

[Woodman19]

2 very good relievers.

Thats a beautiful trade.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Things are happening!

 

[metafour]

Isn't groshans a bit much though?

He's almost 23 and has hit for no power the past two seasons. He just hasn't developed as expected.

 

[cyris]

Tons of control, mid 90's arm with a very high GB%. Sneaky good add.

Drafted by the Blue Jays previously and didn’t sign. Also from Brampton so it’s nice to have another Canadian on the team.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Well there’s our BP help

 

[theaub]

I mean that's two good relievers right there

 

[shaner8989]

Wow sick trade
