With hours remaining before Monday’s trade deadline, the BlueJays rallied for a walk-off win over the Orioles. Now Toronto must decide how transformative do they want to get in bolstering their roster for a run at the post-season. (via ShiDavidi)
Milone is pitching well right now, but under normal circumstances is more of a depth/insurance type of add for a team seeking to bolster itself for the post-season. But as Alex Anthopoulos, Atlanta’s president of baseball operations, pointed out on a conference call, “there aren’t a lot of sellers. With the expanded playoffs, even those teams on the outside looking in, they’re close. There’s not a lot of inventory out there.
The Rangers are said to like the Blue Jays’ young catchers, but subtracting from that duo wouldn’t make sense without another complement add, and Jason Castro, the best option out there, is reportedly headed from the Los Angeles Angels to the San Diego Padres., whose name was bandied about in trade talks over the winter, while a third source said the Blue Jays have shown some interest in Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin, a left-handed bat who can play all three outfield spots.
Multiple top prospects in the Jordan Groshans/Simeon Woods Richardson vein, maybe with a big-league piece, too, would be needed to pull that off, and it’s reasonable to debate if now’s the time to make such a trade when they can add starters via free agency this winter.
