: : The Blue Jays have struck a deal to acquire third baseman Josh Donaldson from the Athletics, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). Infielder Brett Lawrie, righty Kendall Graveman, and shortstop Franklin Barreto are part of the package going back. Prospect Sean Nolin is also in the deal, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets.
: : This deal’s franchise-changing implications are evident on its face. Donaldson, 28, and Lawrie, 24, have each been viewed as cornerstone third basemen for their respective clubs.
: : MLB: Oakland Athletics at Toronto Blue Jays
: : Donaldson is, of course, the best piece moving in this swap and one of the more valuable commodities in all of baseball. A late bloomer, he had emerged as one of the game’s very best position players over the last two seasons. Collectively, he has slashed .277/.363/.477 with 53 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 1,262 plate appearances since the start of 2013. With stellar defense included, Donaldson has racked up 15.4 rWAR and 14.1 fWAR in that span.
: : Projected by Matt Swartz/MLBTR to earn $4.5MM in his Super Two season of arbitration eligibility, Donaldson was just starting off on a track to become rather pricey. But he comes with four seasons of control, and will unquestionably be paid less than his anticipated worth on the diamond.
: : Though significantly younger, Lawrie comes with one less year of control. He is, however, projected to take home just $1.8MM this season and will therefore also have a much lower starting point for his next two seasons of earnings.
: : On the other hand, he has yet to match Donaldson’s output in spite of his own, oft-noted ability. Over his first three-plus seasons in the bigs, Lawrie owns a .265/.323/.426 slash (good for a 104 OPS+) and has generally drawn solid-to-outstanding reviews on his defensive work. Injuries have limited his time on the field over each of the last two seasons, but Lawrie has generally performed at a well-above-average clip when healthy.
: : The other pieces involved are, of course, responsible for making up the gap in value between Donaldson and Lawrie. Barreto could be the hidden gem in the package, with Ben Badler of Baseball America noting on Twitter that the 18-year-old was the top July 2 prospect of two years prior and is probably at top-100 level player at this point.
: : 豆爺送出Donaldson,拿到Lawrie+右投Graveman+SS Barreto+左投Nolin.
: : Graveman名列BA 2014 all-star team.
: : Barreto是2014季前藍鳥農場排名第5.
: : Nolin是2014季前BA藍鳥農場排名第10.
: : 不知道這個交易moneyball是如何考慮的呢?
: 現在再回來看起來這交易
: Lawrie 今年目前三圍 .272 .309 .410 也是站3B
: Graveman(RHP) 6W7L 101.2IP ERA3.9 66SO 35BB
: Nolin(LHP) 3A 2W1L 33.2IP ERA2.67 26SO 17BB
: Barreto(SS) 1A+ .298 .329 .492 12HR 45RBI
: 而藍鳥的Donaldson(29)目前 .295 .363 .569 29HR 81RBI
: 比起包爺跟EE今年更可怕
: 可以算是生涯年 還可以用一段時間
: 當時想說A's也留不住 趁高點賣出去
: 常常看到有人說豆爺這交易很笨 美國鄉民也罵 今年A's又打不好
: 所以這交易目前A's那三隻養起來之前算是藍鳥賺嗎?
: 討論一下吧@@
如soilstone推文所寫，還有球員還在養成，也希望將來是雙贏~
以下稍作補充
1.Graveman目前已是A's輪值的一部份。當他五月下旬再度加入先發陣容後，
曾與Jesse Hahn共同撐起中(後)段輪值
Kendall Graveman: 5/23~7/4 5W-2L 1.78 ERA, K/BB:38/15
Jesse Hahn : 5/20~7/1 6W-3L 2.64 ERA, K/BB:39/16
註: Hahn在7/1先發後，便進入DL至今。而Graveman近4的ERA，主要來自於7/10起
連續"腫"了三場，以及今年四月不理想的表現
2.Sean Nolin受offseason進行運動型疝氣手術的影響，春訓調整比其他SP慢，直到5月
才開始在A's 3A出賽
(目前列在小聯盟傷兵名單的Nolin，最近一次的出賽為6/27)
但是，即使Kazmir還在陣中時，球團也不急著將Nolin拉上來 (因有不少可用之兵)
所謂的可用之兵包括：
A's牛棚缺"可信賴的左投"而調往牛棚的Pomeranz
球隊有需要，就叫上來補一下輪值的Chris Bassitt (季前用鯊魚跟白襪換來的選手之ㄧ)
以及人在A's 3A，持續等著重返ML的 Barry Zito等人
(Zito本季在3A已投了137.0局 8W-7L 3.48 ERA, K/BB:90/60 對手打擊率.235)
3.Franklin Barreto目前是A's農場的頭號新秀 (官網百大新秀第23位)
排在Matt Olson，以及用Zoby與皇家換來的Sean Manaea前面
對於Donaldson，只有祝福~
