Blue Jays Discussion: Trade Deadline Monday. What will the Jays do?

[Canada4Gold]

Next year, as in December 2021.

Oh ok. The way the guy asked it sounded like he was referring to needing protection for next year, meaning this coming rule 5. I doubt anyone would be asking if he needed protection for 2 offseasons from now.

 

[Puckstuff]

Seems a lot. But oh well

Marlins did well here. They get Marlin great Jeff Conine's son Griffin Conine for 1 month of Villar, a player they got for free.

Wow that’s a lot more then I thought, yikes

 

[LeafChief]

Deadline is 4pm EST right?

 

[TopChedder]

Soon as I read the Dodgers were heavily in on Lynn I knew it was over lol I feel they will offer whatever it takes to get who they want.

 

[phillipmike]

Deadline is 4pm EST right?

yes

 

[Maplebeasts]

Dodgers look like they're emerging as a frontrunner in the Lance Lynn sweepstakes.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Why do people think we're still in on Lynn? If we were going to get Lynn we likely wouldn't have gotten Ray. We needed another arm but someone to hold us over until Shoemaker or Pearson is back made sense. That was our, we're out on Lynn move. We weren't getting Ray to have him pitch out of the pen.

Charlie, it's time to put in your ace pitcher.

Panik.

LOL these guys on MLB network are like (Harold Reynolds included) :

"22 bombs in 80 games for Conine... that's no joke!!! How many K's? 126... oh well yeah stuff to work on."

He strikes out on average 5 times for every 3 plate appearances.

Yeah, I really wanted to see Conine stick around

That sounds like Greg Millen stuff lol

 

[ChuckWoods]

I like both these pickups by the Jays.

Ray coming in on the cheap. Buying on the low to see if he can find his game again. Solid swing and miss guy that may have made too many tweaks to his mechanics and lost his control.

Villar can move around the infield, bats switch and has a great arm. Bottom of the order bat but seeing Charlies love for some of his players that likely don’t deserve that much attention... Villar may be his new favourite.

But he is far better than Panik, so its a win.

 

[phillipmike]

Lynn and Gallo didn’t move. Will remain with the Rangers.

I’m afraid we will be stuck with Panik. I’ll believe it when I see the dfa tweet...

 

[Cloned]

That’s a massive failure for the Rangers.

 

[phillipmike]

Wow the Red bought. OF Brian Goodwin and Archie Bradley to Cincinnati.

Wow, that's a good win for them

 

[The Nemesis]

If Griffin Conine were named Griffin Smith instead he wouldn't be nearly as well regarded by the fanbase.

That K rate is EXTREMELY concerning. Especially that low in the minors.

He feels like jb woodman part 2

 

[dredeye]

Damn we didn’t manage to get another pitcher

Yeah, I have no issues with that.

 

[phillipmike]

And the Jays just added the NL leader in SB with Villar.

Smith? Like as in Ozzie Smith? Can’t believe we traded Ozzie Smith’s son!

 

[stickty111]

If this is it, happy with the moves. We improved and solved needs, while our competition didn't.
