Blue Jays-A's trade - COMPLETED

Redria

Redria

Starter
The Oakland As are looking to offload some Salary and get some bullpen help, while the Blue Jays are looking to Improve at the Catcher position

The As give: terry.PNG
who is unhappy with his current situation and looking to make a fresh start with a new team

Blue Jays Give:
2B prospect Toronto.PNGMarty Janzen.PNG


The As get an immediate bullpen boost plus a versatile utility guy that takes money off the books and placates an upset player in Oakland, while the Blue Jays gain a competent starter at the Catcher position which allows them to pull back an FA offer and pursue other needs that also require attention.

Not to put pressure on anyone, but a quick answer would help me sort out my FA offers.

What are the financial situations for both teams? If I remember correctly, OAK is $8M in the hole so eating half of the salary doesn’t make sense. Especially for a RP with 1 control that probbaly won’t make the majors. I need to see the financials but I think I’d prefer the deal with out Hall and TOR taking the full salary or a better prospect $2M.

Amended deal: Toronto pulls back Hall and will take Steinbach's full contract. Red's fine with it.

Toronto's current available salary space is ~$6.6 mill after being outbid on a couple of FAs, so we can take the full load.

Are you not able to edit the initial post? Add in the financials and take out Hall so we know what the final deal looks like?

I didn't make the initial post, so I can't edit it. The financials I posted include Hall, since he's still on my roster.

Steinbach is $4.2M to Toronto; Janzen is $132k to Oakland and Adriana is a MLC, but he is on the 40.
