Let’s talk about some deals!īecause it was more about floor than ceiling it will not go down as the splashiest of long-term signings the Blue Jays have made in recent years, but there are a number of things about it that make me really love this deal. ![]() I think you will find, though, that it is nevertheless incorrect. ![]() Sometimes it will be about what a deal told us about what the Jays were trying to accomplish, other times it will be about a shrewd use of assets, the degree of difficulty, or the fact that I really like Teoscar Hernández. Seemed like a good enough way to do it.Īnd what methodology have I used to rank them? Friends, I assure you that it’s completely feel-based and wholly unscientific. Why rank them? Why go back that far? I don’t know. To accomplish this I’ve decided to rank the major transactions the Jays have made dating back to the trade deadline. Besides, what else are you going to do in the middle of a polar vortex? Go outside? It just seems like a good time to reflect - and possibly reassess - now that we have a better understanding of how all the pieces actually fit. Obviously that’s not to say that I think it’s reasonable to pass any kind of final judgment on the moves that the team has made. But with the daily countdown until pitchers and catchers report now approaching single digits, I think it’s safe to say that enough of it is complete, and enough time has passed since the biggest moves were made, for us to sit down and really have a think about where the 2023 Blue Jays roster is at, and exactly how it got here. The Blue Jays’ offseason work is probably - hopefully! - not quite done yet.
