Jays deal Grichuk to Rockies

 

[navamind]

Grichuk for Tapia is a wash (maybe even a slight downgrade), but I think the Jays did it to get Pinto. He's pretty intriguing though he's years away.

We did it to get a LH bat
Also save about 7 million a year in the deal

 

[navamind]

He's a LH bat, but his career OPS against righties is worse than Grichuk's? Not to mention Grichuk's hit lefties better as well.

But you are right, they are saving money. And getting an interesting prospect.

He matches the big 3 of the computer stats. Walk, K, or HR.

Left field isn't a very strong position right now. I don't think it's absurd.

LOL

I'd trade him for #9 in a NY second

And package Boone with him......

I’ll take Yelich. I love Ozuna, too. Gallo should be more like #7 or 8 on that list?

 

[redseat]

I know.....he's talking out of his ass like someone that rarely watches games.....Boone's in game decisions, bullpen management have cost the Yankees many games.....

He deserves more than Stanton.

Greg Bird might male the Jays out of camp

Your worst nightmare......

 

[nynasty]

Judge has already signalled he's open to continue negotiations after opening day, which is good.

Can't let him get to the open market. Cannot.

He'll hit .200 against everyone else. .450 against the Yankees.

What do you think this extension will look like? They need to get his 2022 salary figured out first. How many more years are going to be given after that?
