I wonder if the Astros knew about this but just let it slide.Mike Fiers being accused of having a relationship with a minor now. This off season is bananas.
Sounds like Castellanos is going to the Reds

I haven’t looked into it is why I didn’t know but I wasn’t aware Blackmon was that brutal of an outfielder. If memory serves many here were clamouring for us to try and trade for himThat's fine. He's an intriguing bat, but the reality is that he's basically a 1B/DH at this point and the Jays don't need any more of those. Places list him as a 3b/OF, but truthfully:
1) He hasn't played 3rd since 2017 and was never better than a suboptimal defender even at his best at the position.
2) In his time as a primary OF over the last couple years he has been unspeakably awful. Just to pick one metric, by UZR over the last two seasons he is the second worst OF in baseball ahead of just Charlie Blackmon and by UZR/150 among qualified fielders (min of around 900 innings in the outfield) he's 4th worst with just Rhys Hoskins, Blackmon, and Teoscar Hernandez behind him (and FWIW Hernandez is mostly sunk by being forced into CF this past year. He was actually a positive UZR/150 in LF in 2019.)
Not saying that he wouldn't have been an overall roster upgrade on Teoscar, but everyone's already looking to pull him from the outfield. Not sure it would've made sense to go and acquire a free agent to do basically that same thing at a position that's already a little redundant at best for the Jays.

Seems the Reds care not for D (just their last signing :/ )Would jump at it, immediately.

Seems a smart fit. Jays have some excesses.
Trade them one of our excess OF (Fisher, McKinney) and a pitching prospect not in our top 30 prospects. Should get it done.
I’m not great with baseball values, but that’s pretty lean.Trade them one of our excess OF (Fisher, McKinney) and a pitching prospect not in our top 30 prospects. Should get it done.

This is some of your best work.
Sorry I didn't know this kid was that good.
they were rumored to be after Grandal or a catching upgrade before he signed with the White Sox.
Offer Jansen straight up for Senzel.
Or McGuire, Espinal and a pitching prospect.
