Jays Receive:
OF/LAA Taylor Ward $550K (ARB2)
OF/ATL Douglas Glod (Int'l signing) Prospect
7th rounder 2023 Draft (LAA)
C/LAA Kurt Suzuki 6M (2022)
*LAA agrees to pay for Ward and Suzuki for 2022
Angels Receive:
C/LAA Max Stassi $1.6M (ARB4)
SP/COLJoe Rock (P-N/A) Prospect
SP/ATL Kyle Muller (P-N/A) Prospect
Jays do this deal as they are big Glod fans and they need the OF upgrade until Acuna is back. The loss of the 2 pitching prospects hurts a little, but the Jays have the depth to shoulder this loss. Suzuki will hopefully see occasional ABs despite age.
Thank to Angels for quick fix on the negotiations.
*Please Note: It is NOT stipulated/stated that Suzuki may not be dealt. pls advise if this is the case as the Angels and Jays do have a Plan B.
Thx
