MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Toronto Blue Jays: B-
Moves:
-
Acquired SP Shane Bieber from Cleveland for SP prospect Khal Stephen
-
Acquired RP Louis Varland and 1B Ty France from Minnesota for OF Alan Roden and SP prospect Kendry Rojas
-
Traded IF Will Wagner to San Diego for C prospect Brandon Valenzuela
I really like the Bieber deal. I think it’s a risk worth taking. The former AL Cy Young has been injured since last April but threw four good innings in a minor-league rehab start on Tuesday. If Bieber can be 80 percent of what he once was down the stretch for Toronto, he can start a playoff game. If he’s full Bieber, that’s a game-changer. If he’s nothing, whatever. Call me when Khal Stephen wins a Cy Young (he’s going to Cleveland; it could happen).
