Blue Jays/Cubs

[Deleted]

Cubs trade 
SP Tyler Chatwood 19: 9m 20: FA
and pick 2.15

Jays trade 
CI Kyle Seager SEA 19-20: 19m 21: 18m 22: 15m (c.o)
MI Jason Kipnis CLE 19: 14.5 20: 16.5m (c.o)
OF Roman Quinn PHI pp 22
pick 5.01 

Chatwood's contract basically negates Kipnis. I like Quinn. If he could ever get PT and stay healthy, I can see him as a Michael Bourn type. Those two things happening are unlikely but worth a shot, worth dropping 2.5 rounds. So that leaves Seager. I'm gambling here on him but I think he's a .260, 25 homer guy as even while injured last yr (toe injury) he still showed good homer and doubles power. So a roll of the dice with the salary but I just got a hunch. 

Thanks Beau. Come back to All Star, we miss you!

All star is a damned fine league and maybe next year cause I still try to sign on by habit lol.

This is, of course, an aggressive rebuild type move. Seager and Kipnis are big contracts and they get moved. Quinn and the extra late pick greased the rails. Amy is getting a ton of cheaply acquired counting stats. Jay's get a good pick, FA money, and long term flexibility.

Jay's confirm!
