Prospects
(3B/StL) Osvaldo Tovalin
(SP/ATL) Kris Anglin
Jays make following roster moves pending trade approval:
Waive Drew Ellis outright and will grant release if WW cleared
Release Ehire Adrianza and take the full cap hit of $1.536M in 2023 ONLY
Jays understand the risk associated with Gurriel and the length of his contract, but hopefully will still get 2 productive seasons out of him. Smyly is a low end SP that allows the team to have a little flexibility with a pitching staff that has been decimated by the injury bug. The 2 prospects are not too highly coveted, but Tovalin could be interesting in 2 seasons.
Good luck to OAK
