Taijuan Walker dealt. Cross him off our list.
Walker to the Jays.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Hey guys has Walker been dealt to the Blue Jays?

really don't want to give up Langeliers or Contreras. Alex Jackson is the guy i'd most want to deal, but i'm assuming Seattle doesn't want to entertain that idea again.

Looks like someone not on their 60 man player pool. So do they wait till end of season to name that player or do they have to add that player and then name them. Not sure how that works.
Coppy

The only way I'd want to trade either catcher is if the Mariners pay all of Seager's money.

I feel like Alex and I have been on the same page with trades. I have a hard time justifying giving up anything that I'm particularly hopeful about for a bad contract or a rental or a mediocre player.
We might part ways in that I would be perfectly happy to trade premium prospects for premium players that are perfect fits. Somebody like Matt Chapman or I don't the pitching equivalent...Cleveinger say ... and I'd happily pack up Pache or Waters, Langeliers or Contreras, and most anyone else.
Then you won't have any offense at 3B for a good while.
You trade from depth to strengthen weaknesses. d'Arnaud is under contract next year and you'd still have Contreras or Langeliers, with A-Jax and Brown as inexpensive backups for several years in the event whichever one you don't trade gets you back into a 65/70% split (which I could easily see happening). Contreras' bat is good enough that he might even get some DH ABs on days off.
Enscheff has quite clearly laid out the fact that Riley IS improving, but those improvements simply aren't going to be enough for him to turn into a shell of what everyone hopes. It's a lot easier to find a competent Catcher to share time with Contreras starting in 2022 for a lot less money than finding a middle-of-the-order 3B bat will be.

It shouldn't by any stretch - if it does I'm sure AA would probably say "thanks but no thanks".
The reason Dero mentioned Contreras in the deal is that we'd have also gotten what we need much more - a SP. Touki alone might be enough to get you Seager if they want to unload his money (or the vast majority of it), but he might not have been as good as the players Seattle's going to be picking from for Walker. Toronto's #6-#10 prospects aren't in their 60-Man pool, and their clocks haven't started - so they could all be dealt as PTBNLs.

Walkers out, let’s move on

Interesting point Verducci just made on High Heat...
Since 2016, no team has made it to the World Series with a pitching staff that didn't finish in the top 4 in Ks in their league.
