Blue Jays trade Randal Grichuk to anyone for anyone To be fair, he was a solid stop gap 25 HR guy with a bit of a glove between the back to back ALCS years & this year's World Series winning team.

Im sad to see him go as he was a nice guy, but had a fat contract and is a right handed bat when the Jays are looking for lefties. I hear they may be interested in Gardner from New York?

Dave Roberts wants to “put it on the record” that the Dodgers win the World Series this year.
Yes, these always end well.

As a 5th outfielder?

He was above average in some regards, alas watching the team night in/night out, I learned early on that Grichuk had a lot of garbage time stats. He swung through a lot of junk too. The Gardner rumour makes me ill, I hate that guy, such a Yankee. Then again, without obligation to play someone like that too often, the DH rotation can settle a bit more.

As a Jays fan I hate Gardner too, but he hits well in the Dome and is a left handed bat who can run well so if hes available for a reasonable price Id take him.

Yep, they'd been looking for a lefty bat to add since forever. I read that the Jays did in fact have to take into account vaccination status for offseason shopping. Take that for what we will, maybe Jose Ramirez wasn't having it, who knows.

Jays sign Dexter Fowler to a minor league deal with the hope of him being a 5th outfielder. Lets hope he can regain his form of old.

White Sox trade Craig Kimbrel to the Dodgers for AJ Pollock. As klawrencio79 is well aware of by now, Jacob DeGrom to miss significant time with a right shoulder strain.

Mets reportedly acquiring Chris Paddack from the Friars in exchange for Dom Smith. Eric Hosmers contract also part of the deal, I imagine he would be cut. Interesting.

Who's gonna be the Mets DH? Cano? Actually who's gonna be the Padres 1B, Voit or Smith? Can either handle being a full time 1B?

Davis is an ideal DH as he has a lively bat and is useless in the field. Voit was brought in specifically to DH as the Padres were oddly without a good fit there. Smith is a pretty good 1B but being blocked by Alonso meant he really never had a position. I really like Smith. Had a down year last year but is a good fielder, has high offensive upside (was good in 2019 and excellent on 2020), and just seems like a great dude. I wish him well in his new home if this goes through.

Of course Degrom was my first pick in my draft, 3 days before his shut down.

This one I'm less concerned about. The deGrom news sucks. No way around it.

Pads trade for Sean Manaea from the A's. Don't know if this means the Paddack trade still has legs or not.
