A NBA players found out he had a liver cyst or something during a physical, so they clearly do their job, whatever it is

That’s a hell of a get for the Jays. I’m curious to know if the Mets drama had an impact on their chances.

Jays signing Springer probably takes them out of the JT sweepstakes, which is cool

Jays need another good starter immensely more than another outfielder, but still good I guess.

The deal might not look great in year 5 since Springer plays so balls to the wall and I'm sure Jays fans will get frustrated at him swinging out of his shoes and missing but overall he's going to be great to watch for at least half the contract unless he gets injured

Springer has been exclusively a leadoff hitter since early 2016 I imagine he'll stay at the 1-spot, I think he likes it there

So the final breakdown of that trade is that the Cubs gave up Eloy and Cease for Quintana, who may not have been great for the Cubs but did give Theo the financial flexibility needed to sign Darvish... who they salary dumped for some lottery tickets and also bundled with Caratini because why not.

0/10 trade see me after class Cubs.

If they sign Brantley they would deal Gurriel in a deal for a starter.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I am glad to be proven wrong with my dismissive comment about only singing Yates and Chatwood.

Now, I am interested to see what their next move is. Gurriel is someone I like, but the most attractive trade option for other teams to get a starter, especially if they sign Brantley. Luckily, every scenario means less time for Grichuk.
