Blue Jays trade for Steve Parris
This is a good move by the
Blue Jays. They saw an opportunity where the Reds
are trying to cut every corner of their payroll
(just look at their managerial disaster), and
they took Steve Parris off their hands. The Blue
Jays gave up two marginal prospects for Parris, so
this deal is really just about how Parris does
for the Jays. He had a down year last season
from his career best 1999, but at the very least he is a
serviceable bottom-of-the-rotation guy, and at
best a very solid number 3 starter, which teams
trying to make playoff runs need. It’s hard
to say if the Blue Jays will get the ’99 or
’00 version of the soon-to-be 33-year old right-hander (most likely he’ll fall
somewhere in between). But it was a low risk move
that has the potential to help the team.
