Nice move to shore up the MIF

[Terminator]

He's a good fit but I'll be interested to see the return.

JD trade incoming? Or does Solarte primarily play 2nd?

[Pendleton]

Good fit if the price is reasonable.

JD trade incoming? Or does Solarte primarily play 2nd?

He's a utility type

[AledmysDiaz]

What's going back???

[jays4life19]

Noice. Well, we have some pretty good MIF depth now.

[MikeM]

Most likely nothing going back. Can't imagine Shatkins would give them anything. Even though he's a solid player, Shatkins won't give up something for this type of player.

[GreekFatAss]

Wonder if Hand is coming with him.

[P2F]

Neat.

[jays4life19]

What's going back???

My guess would be Aledmys Diaz but we'll see.

[bones10]

Not terrible

[AledmysDiaz]

I'm guessing it's a reliever either Barnes or Tapera.

[Jimcanuck]

Shocking! Jays made a move.

Depth in 2018 and starting 3B in 2019 once JD leaves.

Middle infield depth looks very good now, especially if Diaz bounces back. Just have to see what the Jays gave up.

[Abomination]

I feel like this is going to be more expensive than people are suggesting.
