A's-Blue Jays BLOCKBUSTER

[Braves155]

Blue Jays Receive:
Grayson Rodriguez SP/BAL (Spec)
Keoni Cavaco SS/MIN (Spec)

A's Receive:
Tyler Glasnow SP/TBR $4M (ARB5)
Andrew Painter SP/PHI (P-N/A)
Jairo Pomares OF/SF (P-N/A)

Dealing from a position of strength the Jays are doing this as they believe Grayson has a ton of upside and will be up quickly this season. He fits nicely with D.L. Hall and in a a few years could be a household name. It pains us to see Pomares go, but the sacrifice was worth it. This does not deplete our rotation or arms too much and we feel the addition of Cavaco is a flier worth taking at his young age and upside.

This was a doozy of a deal, A's and pleasure doing business.

The A's at first had no intentions to even trade Grod but the offer from the Jays was just too good to pass up. We feel the haul received will bolster the rotation in getting A real gem in Glasnow and the upside of painter as well as love the addition of Pomares to our OF pipeline and as a real life giants fan couldn't be happier to land a smasher in pomares. Thank you to jays for what was an interesting discussion and glad it worked out for both.

Grayson is not a PC. He's ARB2 already. Just an FYI
