How about a trade? The Vlady Guerrero thing is a cute notion - nothing to lose but a few bucks so why not? - but how about obtaining a guy we know can play today?

Eric Thames (if, as we all hope and pray, can stay healthy) is on pace for 33 RBI. 62 runs scored.

I've heard he is not even particularly good defensively. There must be an outfielder that can be freed up somewhere who can do better than that.

Colby Rasmus? He's been here for chunks of 2 seasons now and he hasn't done anything. And he wasn't doing much of anything before that.

Why do we have to have him?
 
Some questions some Blue Jays fans are asking:


Why do we have to have Colby Rasmus?

Why do we have to have Eric Thames?

What is with Adam Lind?


Can we please have some other guys instead of those guys?
You no longer have one of those guys... At least for now.

Blue Jays optioned 1B Adam Lind to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Lind was batting just .186/.273/.314 through 132 plate appearances this season and finished with a .251/.295/.439 slash line last year. He still has good pop, but Toronto can't afford to string him along in an American League East that looks as competitive as ever. Yan Gomes has been promoted in a corresponding move. Lind will likely be brought back quickly if he begins producing at the Triple-A level.
