With the MLB trade deadline on Friday, NickAshbourne has crafted three realistic offers the Blue Jays could make to improve their pitching.
. Since then he’s only put up 1.3 WAR, but he’s still got intriguing stuff, and he’s consistently been able to out-pitch his peripherals and keep the ball on the ground. He also possesses a curveball that’s been steadily improving and could help him miss more bats going forward.
Considering that Freeland projects as a back-of-the-rotation arm, what you’re really paying for is the years of control -- but the cost there is significant. Kloffenstein fits the Williams mold as a young, projectable, starter with a good arm. Because he’s struggled in 2021 to the tune of a 6.16 ERA and 5.38 FIP at High-A, the sweetener needs to be significantly better.
Although Roark might not be worth much in the eyes of Blue Jays fans who witnessed his disastrous tenure with the team, at the time he was considered a reliable starter. In 2019 he was coming off four consecutive seasons with 2.0 WAR or more and looked like a solid rotation-boosting rental for the A’s. In exchange for a couple of months of his services, the Athletics parted with their sixth-best prospect in Hannah.
