Rockies Close To Trade For Seunghwan Oh

By Mark Polishuk | July 25, 2018 at 5:46pm CDT

6:17PM: The Rockies are the team closing in on the Oh trade, MLB.com’s Jon Paul Morosi reports.

5:46PM: The Blue Jays are closing in on a trade involving right-hander Seunghwan Oh, according to Steve Phillips of MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM (Twitter link).  The deal could be completed as soon as today.  An Oh deal could make a very busy day for the Jays on the transaction front, as the club is also reportedly close to an even bigger trade of southpaw J.A. Happ.

Oh has been outstanding in his first year in Toronto, with a 2.68 ERA, 10.5 K/9, and 5.5 K/BB rate over 47 innings out of the Jays’ bullpen.  It has been a thoroughly strong rebound season for the 36-year-old, as home run problems led to Oh posting a 4.10 ERA for the Cardinals in 2017.  This year, however, Oh’s homer rate has settled back down to a much more manageable 8.2%.

Virtually every contender is looking for bullpen help, so any number of teams could be checking in on Oh.  The veteran is owed only around $500K for the remainder of the season, and he is controllable in 2019 via a very affordable $2MM club option ($250K buyout).

    I’m expecting a better return than we got for Smith last year. And I’m pretty sure Cleveland overpaid for Smith

      The difference between Oh and the rest of the expendable relievers is that Oh is really good

    OH is a good reliever and he is pitching well of late. He didn’t start off 2018 too sharp.

    Comes with a second year too based on appearances. Not a rental.

    It’s weird cause I look at the numbers and they are very good but every time I watch he scares me. I feel like he hasn’t been as good as the numbers say but I dont know

    Has to be the Braves, AA probably has a good relationship with the Blue Jays front office. Wonder if they will get Happ too and a bat if there is one available.

      Jays don’t have much on the lumber front other than Smoak, who the Braves don’t need. Maybe Solarte.

        Granderson but don’t need an OF. Martin no need a Catcher. Diaz no need a SS. Donaldson but is injured. Stroman or Estrada or even former Brave Garcia.

    Forgive me, Jimmer you know it’s not my style to call others out, but if Blue Jays get any prospects for this guy, doesn’t that make you wrong for criticizing his signing initially?

    Pass. How do you make sure he doesn’t face any lefty batters.
    Left handed batters vs Oh this year: .315/.413/.537. Horrible

      It’s not worth mentioning his .168/.190/.269 line against righties this year?

      Or his .257/.328/.415 career line against lefties (after factoring in his 15 innings worth of poor pitching against them this year)?

        Ok. Wouldn’t want him on my team. .940 ops. Keep sending him out there, it can get down to .800
