Did the BlueJays have a successful winter? bnicholsonsmith evaluates their off-season decisions.
For now, Pompey remains on the roster. By the end of spring training the Blue Jays will have to make a call on whether to keep him or try to pass him through waivers.The Blue Jays sent Martin and $16.4 million to the Dodgers for prospects Andrew Sopko and Ronny Brito. The deal makes sense because it creates playing time for Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire while also freeing up cash and adding a couple of potentially useful prospects.
5.) Listen to trade offers for Kevin Pillar, Randal Grichuk, Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez and Ken GilesIt’s no secret that the Blue Jays listened to offers on this group, and though nothing has come to fruition just yet, those off-season conversations could inform moves this summer. The Blue Jays talked to every team in the starting pitching market about Stroman and Sanchez, who could both be moved at the trade deadline if they rebound from tough 2018 seasons.
But even though there’s nothing wrong with the Shoemaker deal, I thought the Blue Jays should have done more here. Garrett Richards, who ended up in San Diego on a two-year, $15.5-million deal, would have been a perfect complement to Shoemaker, his longtime teammate with the Angels.
