The Diamondbacks announced they’ve acquired two minor league players — catcher J.J. D’Orazio and left-hander Yaifer Perdomo — from the Blue Jays. The move completes the teams’ deadline day deal that sent veteran reliever Joakim Soria to Toronto.
Arizona picks up a pair of low-level developmental prospects. Entering the season, Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs ranked the 19-year-old D’Orazio the #26 prospect in the Jays’ system, praising his frame and bat-to-ball skills. Perdomo has never appeared on an organizational ranking at either FanGraphs or Baseball America. The 20-year-old posted gaudy strikeout totals with the Jays’ Florida Complex League affiliate this season though. Both D’Orazio and Perdomo were recently bumped up to Low-A.
Soria hasn’t yet had much of an opportunity to make an impact for his new club. The 37-year-old went down with inflammation in his right middle finger on August 4 and missed three weeks. He’s tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings with five strikeouts for the Jays and will be a free agent at the end of the season.
I’ve had conversations with Atkins revolving baseball operations before. He is my good friend. He tells me all the time that my mind for baseball rivals him. I wish the Bluejays nothing but good luck.
Same. But he told me that you make him uncomfortable.
I doubt you know him. Me and him go way back. I even give him suggestions. I told him to trade for matz. I’m not saying they did it bc of me. (They didn’t) but me and him had a good chat about that.
Are you pretending to be a guy with a mental problem or are you a guy with a mental problem? Do yourself a favor and seek help.
He named his first child after me and I told him to trade for Matz for other reasons after he told me your reasoning. He actually thought you were a little slow so he humored you because he felt bad. He said you kept saying Matz had a great FT% and that “he could get it”, which kind of ruined the whole trip to Applebees, according to him.
Tell me, what color is the sky in your world?

Funny. That is not the language he used in the request for a restraining order.
