The Mariners have acquired minor league outfielder Alberto Rodriguez from the Blue Jays to complete the teams’ trade for right-hander Taijuan Walker, Seattle announced.
The two teams swung the deal for Walker on Aug. 27, though Toronto included a player who was not in its 60-man player pool. His identity was unknown until now as a result.
Still just 19 years old, Rodriguez spent the first two professional seasons of his career playing in rookie ball for the Jays organization. He batted .274/.356/.392 with seven home runs and 34 stolen bases on 42 attempts over 458 plate appearances during his time in Toronto’s system.
Can’t really complain
Crazy it was a lower return than dodgers since Walker is playing well this year
Yeah only because Walker is a pure rental.
Still, strip has like a 7 era lol this guy isn’t even in there top 30
Mindless spelling.
He’s in their top 20 according to fan graphs. Doesn’t mean much.
Name a long-time starting pitcher who hasn’t had a 5.61 or higher ERA for a month out of his career. Stripling’s ERA this year is almost irrelevant to his value.
yes it was dumb, I mean obviously they want the next two years of Strip but it was an overpay certainly, as was Villar. This appears reasonable to good for a rental
That’s in seven appearances though. It’s not like that’s going to raise or lower your value too much.
