Perfect for say a 6-man rotation to ease in then eventually be Game 1 starter. Wow.

He's been on my IL for my fantasy team for 3-4 months now, I'm happy he's on the Jays :lol:

Duran is controlled for 2.5 more seasons i believe. So it’s not that bad.

The Phillies gave up their 3rd and 11th best prospect per Baseball America's rankings, one of whom is #50 in their Top 100.

We'd be talking Nimmala or Yesavage + someone like Martinez or Rojas. I'm inclined to pay less for a rental knowing how they are performing this seasons vs. counting on Duran AND the team performing over the next 2 seasons (especially with the age and pending free agency of some of our starters).

Latest report from Morosi is that the Jays are close to acquiring Shane Bieber. That's an interesting play given he's still coming back from Tommy John. Sounds like a one-for-one, which is disappointing as I would have hoped for a bigger deal with Kwan if they were trading with the Guardians.

yeah I was half expecting it to be both coming our way. But I bet they're asking for Yesavage or Nimmala.

Call me an oracle.

Your next prediction please? Let's manifest something. Bednar, Santana, Jax, Maton....We need another guy who can hold an inning and help close out games.

Good trade since we won't need 6-7 innings from him right away.

And now we wait for a dominant bullpen arm.

With Bieber, we go to the 6 man rotation which should boost all of our older SP’s numbers.

Now go trade Loperfido for Mason Miller.

He’ll opt out unless something catastrophic happens in the next two months and become a FA. This is effectively a rental for now though I’m sure they’d love to re-sign him.

Assuming he opts out is he eligible for a QO?

Yes, which I’m sure they’ll give him.

I predict another Berrios scenario

Agreed they would and that could cushion the Stephen loss if we lose him

Very possible, I'm sure they'll offer him a market deal at least if he's healthy and effective.
