Braden Bishop for Alek Manoah!!!
The outfield in Toronto was abysmal last year.
Jake Cave was their CF for 155 games, and here is his batting line:
.206/.250/.422/.672 ... OPS+ of 79, wRC+ of 83, WAR of 0.5
His slugging was inflated due to the 33 homers he hit.
He is also a 50 overall CF on the 20/80 scale.
His 2021 season was even worse. OPS of .605 and struck out a league high 249 times.
His OPS+ was 64 and his WAR was -0.7.
Anyways, they are looking to upgrade so we will send them
Braden Bishop.
We will also be sending them
Angel Ozuna.
In return we will be picking up the 10th overall pick from the 2019 draft,
Alek Manoah!
Alek made his MLB debut last year after skipping AAA altogether (he's only made 13 starts at AA too).
They mostly used him as a reliever (even though their rotation is not good).
Thankfully, he didn't accrue a full season of service time and did not burn an option year for 2022.
The soon to be 25 year old will most likely start the year for us in AAA. You can never have too much pitching.
We are also going to pickup
Emanuel Vizcaino. He did decent in AA for 12 starts last year. That is probably where he starts the season.
With the 45 stamina, he might become a relief option over being a starter.
