Show Notes
Episode Foreword:
Welcome back to Radio Scouts Podcast. Thanks to a multitude of Blue Jays moves on Tuesday, we have so much to get into, so let's not waste another minute.
Bookmarks:
(0:00) Intro
(0:13) THE DECISION! We announce the verdict on the Darrell Dynasty League trade that Mike and Andrew discussed at the end of the show last week: Carlos Correa for Bo Bichette, Nate Pearson, and Touki Toussaint.
(2:43) Kevin Pillar OUT; shipped out of town for some stuff: RP Derek Law, 2B/OF Alen Hanson, and SP prospect, Juan De Paula. We also briefly touch on the Kendrys Morales trade, which broke after we wrapped recording last week.
(6:47) Anthony Alford IN; recalled from AAA Buffalo. What's the plan with him? We discuss this.
(8:53) Randal Grichuk inks a 5-year/$52M extension with the Jays. We agree collectively that the potential is there for some pretty good value, though this deal is not devoid of risk. We also speculate if this extension is a direct response to the seemingly evident shift in the contractual landscape of Major League Baseball, and who might be the next player to be extended.
(20:13) Socrates Brito (80-grade name) was acquired shortly after the Pillar trade broke. Flipped for minor-leaguer, Rodrigo Orozco.
(20:52) Bud Norris released from his minor-league deal
(21:13) How have the Blue Jays looked through the first 6 games of the season? We offer our thoughts, while not reading much into such a small sample size. What should we expect out of this team this season?
Rotation talk (Matt Shoemaker, Trent Thornton)
Brandon Drury
(29:08) Vlad is healthy again and back to playing baseball. How long does he spend in the minors before getting the inevitable call to the bigs?
(30:32) Notable minor league assignments ('A' Lansing: Eric Pardinho, Jordan Groshans, Josh Winckowski, Otto Lopez, Alejandro Kirk, Mc Gregory Contreras; 'A+' Dunedin: Nate Pearson - probably not long for High-A).
(32:43) Totally appropriate and necessary banter(35:28) Parting thoughts on the Kevin Pillar trade
(38:35) Outro
