And Sign George Springer
Seven Years Ago The Blue Jays traded pitchers Conner Greene and Dominic Leone to the Cardinals for Randal Grichuk. Greene had been a good prospect. He was #100 on Baseball Prospectus’ Top 100 Prospect List in 2016. In 2017, Conner played in New Hampshire and had a 5.29 ERA in 132.2 innings. He had trouble finding the strike zone; he walked 86 batters . Conner didn’t have a great time with the Cardinals and was DFAed after the season.
In eleven MLB seasons, he’s played for nine teams. in 429 games, he has a 3.94 ERA. In 429 innings, he’s given up 192 walks with 444 strikeouts. Grichuk? He was a Blue Jay for four seasons, hitting .243/.289/.461 with 90 home runs. Hot and cold would be a way to describe him. He had his moments but didn’t become the star we envisioned. His bWAR was 4.4 for those four years. We won the trade, but the Jays also gave Randal a five-year, $52 million contract.
