Blue Jays are ending up with the M's overflow or whatever you want to call it. They (Smoak, Voggie and now Walker) should have a little support group. :pound:

I was initially disappointed when I heard it was for APTBNL, but from what Dipoto just said on the telecast, they know who they're getting and they really like him, but they can't announce the player until sometime between the end of the season and Feb.

Weird rules or what?

Due to the nature of the shortened 60-game 2020 MLB season, teams can only trade players who are in their pool of 60 players, which consists of their active rosters and players at alternate training sites. Teams have been working around that by making deals involving players to be named later.


Mariners trade Taylor Williams to Padres for PTBNL at deadline

Smoak actually joined the Mariners of the East along with Healy and Navarez

Honestly with this kid, the best outcome is he turns into a good prospect while our other OF kids are stars and we can flip him for an arm in the future.

I would have preferred stocking up on young arms with promise rather than fringe outfield prospects with Taijuan.

To be honest it was a solid outcome to sign a guy that was sitting in the free agent market to a 1 year deal then now be able to trade him and get a prospect in return. Essentially we got a free prospect.
