Bass has had an excellent season. The Marlins ditch Bass and Fishman in the last few days, you can't make that up.

Pop a good Canadian lad.

I doubt this satisfies Jays fans though.

has groshans stock fallen a ton lately? he's currently their #4 prospect and i remember wanting him in the chapman deal

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

.644 OPS at AAA and about to turn 23 in November.

Not looking great.

Yeah he has definitely struggled this year and as a prospect as a whole. Covid and injuries wiped out a couple big development years back to back and he has never really recovered.

Hopefully he finds his game in the Marlins system.

The Jays just couldn't let the Padres' acquisition of Soto be the biggest story of the day, could they?

Oh, no! They just had to 1up them, and steal the spotlight!

It's fitting the Jays get a fish from the Marlins

they get both a fish and a soft drink, technically.

Man, Martin and Groshans were hyped back in the days.

Zach Pop was a bad dude and ran a buncha bad boys

Good luck with that.......we are horrible at developing hitters.

A nice solid lunch, only missing the chips

Which is why the Jays should've been willing to empty the farm for Soto and/or Ohtani

Baseball's history is littered with the corpses of blue chip prospects who just couldn't cut it at the Major League level, and were out of baseball before they'd even reached their prime

Agreed. With their core the time is to win now; Vladdy may be on the younger side but Chapman/Springer/Gausman etc are not.

Thats why I never faulted a guy like Dombrowski for going all in. Prospects wash out all the time.
