Jason Grilli Traded to Blue Jays

[Oklahomabrave]

Per Robert Murray on Twitter. No report yet on prospect coming back

Win.

Welcome back Shae Simmons!!!

I'm not expecting much of a return. Maybe something in the range of #30-50 on their prospect list.

 

[KB21]

Have to trust the scouts here. No one expected much out of John Gant and Rob Whalen.

Per DOB.. nothing final yet. but seems to be close.. This will literally be like the Chacin deal re-lived.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Report is it hasn't been "approved". Which means we must be sending money. Hopefully that gets us something somewhat useful.

Has the lefty we got for chacin pitched here yet?

 

[bravos4evr]

I'll be happy if we got a low level B prospect and a 3 cases of Moosehead

 

[nsacpi]

Grilli's value is about the same as Chacin's imo. Take that for what its worth.

 

[Carp]

Do they have a pick to trade??

who gets to drink the Moosehead..

 

[striker42]

Looks like we're getting Sean Ratcliffe back.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Whoever that is. Hasn't pitched this year.

Looks like we're getting Sean Ratcliffe back.

Looks like he walks s lot of guys... He'll fit right in

One way to keep three lefties in the pen while creating space for Shae that I hadn't considered.

Can't be mad about the return for this version of Grilli, but it does hurt to think he could've actually brought back something remotely useful if he stayed healthy last year. Sucks.

 

[Tapate50]

Wish he would have been healthy ...

No pick or slot money involved is a bit surprising

IIRC, we were close to dealing him for a guy in some team's top 10 prospects before he got hurt.

We are saving a few million by dumping Grilli early like this. I assume Simmons will be called up in a couple of weeks.. Didn't Simmons have forearm tightness? has he pitched since that report? Anyone know if this Sean guy injured or just repeating rookie ball again, so he hasn't pitched yet.
