Trade Deadline recap: IN: Charles McAdoo RJ Schreck Jay Harry Jake Bloss Joey Loperfido Will Wagner Cutter Coffey Eddinson Paulino Gilberto Batista Josh Rivera Yohendrick Pinango Jonatan Clase Jacob Sharp Ryan Yarbrough OUT: Isiah Kiner-Falefa Justin Turner Trevor Richards Yusei Kikuchi Danny Jansen Nate Pearson Yimi Garcia Kevin Kiermaier Thoughts?
dont understand Pearson trade when we need pitching next year as he still may become a decent pitcher with that strong arm
could of got a lot for chad green
even though we need him next year if you can get more for a player than he is worth then always trade him
Yusei Kikuchi trade was a big win
Isiah Kiner-Falefa was best pick up for this year and we got power in return with McAdoo who is younger and IKF had a career year that
happens once per career
Jays went after contact hitters and , except for McAdoo who has power but strikeouts a lot as power hitters do, they got it which is good as nothing worse than striking out with men on base unless it is a double play
They believe they can build a contender for next year but I suspect we will contend only for WC. Management thought we had a contender this year and we got one year left of Vlad and Bo so future is not bright. We needed a full rebuild this year but management cannnot admit failure
next year will be a younger team and we got holes at catching and pitching but offence should be decent if we get another power hitter and Vlad and Bochette come thru, yeah, i know those are big ifs
i wonder if we go after Jansen and Yimi Garcia and Kikuchi as that would help solve some problems
