MLB Trade Deadline & Jays Trade Deadline Thread

I liked Watts-Brown.

Is this guy literally going to suit up for one team in the first half of a double header and the other team in the second half? Lol

He better, we need the help and Chad Green has no business being on a major league roster.

Green is allowing 2.89 HR/9. I feel bad for him, he clearly doesn’t ‘have it’ anymore, for whatever reason.

Green is not the same pitcher after having Tommy John surgery, and coming back two years ago. His success last year in the early months was always a mirage to me, since he was getting hit hard but great defense behind him saved him in many games. Jays should have traded him before the deadline last year, when even the Yankees made an offer to get him back. But Atkins in his wisdom said he wanted to keep him around.

After the deadline, he became terrible again last year. It is a shame, since I remember Green when he was an elite pitcher with the Yankees. His command was incredible. Age and injuries caught up to him. Now you have no choice but to DFA him, when you could have gotten something for him last year.

Really good move getting this guy. The price to get him was reasonable also, trading a guy in Double AA who was supposedly your Number 10 prospect. Wish he could suit up tonight also.

Maybe trade fodder, but also maybe because of Springer's possible concussion.

Not sure Helsley would be enough. Really hope they can strike a deal with the Twins.

Keep going more pitching

Add another starter and reliever....run a 6 man rotation.

In playoffs, have convo to 6 starters that the goal is 2 starters each game, each pitching 3 innings.

Then turn it over to the relievers for innings 7-9

Blue Jays begin roster reinforcement as pitching falters in doubleheader - Sportsnet.ca

Before Dominguez made the walk from one clubhouse to the other between games, it was clear the Blue Jays had essentially exhausted their internal options, using 29 different pitchers this season — not accouting for three position players, including catcher Ali Sanchez in the opener, pressed into duty — and all but two arms on their 40-man roster (Canadian lefty Adam Macko and Jake Bloss, whose season is over after reconstructive elbow surgery).

For those reasons, upgrading the pitching staff is their biggest area of opportunity prior to the deadline, and their first buy offers legitimate impact as well as pedigree — in 17 playoff outings over the three post-seasons, Dominguez has allowed only two earned runs while striking out 27 in 17.2 innings.

That ability to dominate was evident during his debut inning, striking out two, hitting Dylan Carlson and then erasing him as he tried to steal third to keep the game 2-2 through seven.

And now that the Blue Jays have that in place, they have more flexibility to wait out the market over the next couple of days, having paid a high price for Dominguez in double-A righty Juaron Watts-Brown, ranked as their system’s No. 14 prospect by Baseball America, ninth among pitchers, but not one that prevents them from still shopping in all markets.

Various industry sources have told colleague Ben Nicholson-Smith and this writer that the Blue Jays are examining options across the market, linking them to everyone from starters Joe Ryan and Michael Soroka to relievers such as David Bednar, Phil Maton and Anthony Bender. Ryan Helsley — whom the Cardinals and Blue Jays discussed as part of a potential deal for Danny Jansen after the 2022 season — surfaced as a possibility after the Dominguez trade, but it’s possible that’s a bit of market-making, too.

That’s far from an exhaustive list, isn’t indicative of the Blue Jays’ preferences and every team is engaging in some degree of value-gauging, but it is at least demonstrative of how the need is being viewed internally.
