ARI/TOR trade

[Diamondbacks (Matt)]

DBacks trade:

Randy Arozarena OF TB
James Kaprielian P OAK
Joe Ryan P TB
Marco Gonzales P SEA

BlueJays trade:

Joey Lucchesi P SD
Renato Nunez CI BAL

Thanks for the talks, Dan. I think Lucchesi is poised for a breakout year. And if he isn’t, with Severino down, I’m just hoping that between Joey and Reynaldo, I’ll have a great streaming tandem. Plus I open up a 40 man and MiLB roster spot now.

I got both Arozarena and Kap on the cheap, I think, but I was excited to see what I had there. Ryan could be a beast in TB as a “bulk” guy to pitch after their opener. I’ll probably want one or two of those guys back.

[Blue Jays (Dan McL)]

Agreed, I didn't really want to move lucchessi but I know I needed more depth moving forward. Taking a shot that aronzena finds a way full time by 2021 .
Nunez was something I could afford to move once he lost 3b. Only so many spots in my line up for .250 and 35HR types at 1B/DH

Marco is a ok replacement in my staff and I hope Kap get his chance this year I feel like he could replace my lucchessi production

[Blue Jays (Dan McL)]

I have a move or two to make to make room, will post soon

Dan, In this trade you are receiving 3 players on the 40 man roster... By releasing Kipnis, you only need to promote one from your minor league roster...With this move you’d be one over on your 40 man roster... please choose which player you wish to move to 40 man roster.. thx Johnny

[Blue Jays (Dan McL)]

Kap and Ryan should be minors last I looked

[Diamondbacks (Matt)]

Ryan is, Kap isn’t.
