, Jose Berrios was back on the mound Sunday afternoon, driving his team to a 12th victory in 15 outings and another series win.
Given the chance, nobody in the organization is undoing that deal now and the psychological lift the Berrios blockbuster provided is worth reflecting on as the Blue Jays headed into the home stretch ahead of this year’s Aug. 2 cut-off. For that reason, they can’t suddenly go all conservative in a market that tilted further in the sellers’ favour when Seattle sent three top-10 prospects, including their Nos. 1 and 2, and another player to Cincinnati for ace Luis Castillo.
ShiDavidi Why do they have to? They’re finding a groove right now, and this is the type of team that if it makes the playoffs, they can win with the emotion they play with. Sure, if there’s a good pitching trade out there, make it, but I don’t think they’re weak in any other spot
ShiDavidi This 👀 like a dud trade deadline for the Bluejays… unless a Blockbuster is in the works…
ShiDavidi If you were absolutely pissed that two top prospects were traded last year, you are going to be super pissed this year. Prices are incredibly high for even fringe players. The 2 WC spots created 19 buying teams. But the Jays will add 4 guys by deadline, just gonna cost a lot.
ShiDavidi agreed, thankfully we have a new manager to keep our bats going
