    Great start for Kikuchi but 6.50 era the last two months. Great trade for Toronto.

    Yeah I get that. It is steep for a rental of a below average SP.

    16 earned runs in 14 1/3 innings in his last 3 starts.

    He should fit right in.

    Horrible.

    This is Crane pressuring Brown to get a veteran starter. No matter the cost.

    It’s bullshit. He’s been no better lately than Dubin.

    Yusei Kikuchi another Mike Fiers.

    He likely won't make the Playoff Roster.

    This was such a steep price for a 2 month rental tbh. Surprised no other teams had something better to offer for the same price!

    Feels like Dana Brown lost his Temper trading Jake Bloss away.

    Really feels like Jake Bloss will turn into a Ace Starter for the Blue Jays.

    Just like watching Josh Hader blossom at Milwaukee and Mike Fiers snitch on the Astros, Carlos Gomez broke down.

    Any chance Dana Brown could be worse than GM Bill O’Brien?

    He’ll be the lefty out of the pen too give up a monster walk off HR.
