Jays Agree.
We are somehow in win-now mode and need to bolster the lineup to have any shot at competing with the top teams.
We give up a stud young pitcher in Gallen who is on fire in AAA, posting video game stats despite it being a super hitter friendly league. (0.150 Batting Average Against, and 0.70 WHIP with 104 K's in 86 Innings) as well as a nice up and coming SS in Lopez who's getting some MLB experience currently.
Anderson and Givens are solid RP arms to hold averaging 15 and 14 pts per game respectively. Anderson can be stashed in the Minors as well for the time being and could be a future closer in Miami.
Overall we're giving up 3 very good young pieces plus a solid veteran reliever to get a SP who is producing well currently. Gallen is a year away, but we need the SP production now, and give up extra pieces to get the deal done.
Thanks for the trade talks Brian
