The Pirates have announced they have acquired left-hander Jayson Aquino from the Blue Jays for cash considerations. Aquino, who was designated for assignment Tuesday, will report to Class A-Advanced Bradenton.
This is the 22-year-old’s third organization in as many months. Aquino was obtained by the Blue Jays in a February trade after he was designated by the Rockies. Per Baseball America, Aquino has been ranked among Colorado’s top 30 prospects three times topping out at 9th following the 2012 season, but falling to 28th last offseason. Baseball America notes in its scouting report Aquino possesses a plus changeup and an average slider, but poor fastball command and becomes emotional on the mound when the strike zone isn’t to his liking.
In five starts for Toronto’s Class A-Advanced affiliate, Aquino has thrown 25 2/3 innings posting a 2.81 ERA, 5.6 K/9, and 2.1 BB/9.
I believe this is the 4th player the Jays traded for cash considerations, probably adds up to 200k.
What does it all mean D:
New socks and a pizza party for the whole team? I’m not sure…
The jays could use a pizza party, considering all the whining they’ve been doing lately
Players don’t whine when they win… Need to do more of that.
such as…?
Such as the brooks Jacoby debacle
One incident equals “all the whining”? mmmkay
Probably nothing.
It means rogers made an extra 200k
minus the cost of a player to replace the ones that left?
Or to spend however they’d like? I’m not complaining I’m just saying it means the organization has an extra 200k
