Indians DFA'd Domingo Santana, he would be a good low cost option for a righty power bat off the bench, can't be any worse in the field than Fisher.

The Villar addition is a huge boost to the bench. Great pick up.

I am guessing that he will get most of the starts at SS till Bichette gets back. Then I would play him or Biggio at 3rd over Shaw.

Statistically speaking he is worse in the outfield than Fisher, doesn't even have a .970 fielding percentage over his career.

I imagine that will be it for the Jays. All three players are rentals, cost of acquisition for all three appears to be very low, Bergen was a rule 5 guy, we haven’t heard the PTBNL for the Walker pick up, and I can’t see a big piece going to Miami for Villar. Rental pick ups is sort of counter to the typical Atkins approach where he is obsessed with “years of control” but I think this is him telling his team that he believes in them.

Conine is a bit steep for a rental but not egregious. Villar is an excellent piece to add given their needs so I can live with it.

Struck a good balance between supporting the team without taking too much out of the future during the deadline here.

I like getting Villar, don't like giving up Conine. There isn't a lot of OF in the system, so it sucks to give up one of the higher upside OF that were in the system.

Conine is not a big loss really.

Thanks O's defense

Umps strike zones suck. Can't wait until them calling balls and strikes goes the way of the dodo

Chase Anderson had only recorded 12 straight outs eh?

Might as well pull him and put FONT in.

84 pitches and 12 straight batters in a row. I feel like Montoyo really has no idea what’s going on sometimes

Lots to like about Conine’s power, a lot of strikeouts though and only in A ball.
