And I’ve always been a huge fan of Kikuchi (see my posts about him in the Jays/Royals game thread earlier this year). His success is the furthest thing from a surprise but that doesn’t make it a loss for the Jays.
I'm all for trading Kikuchi.
It's the bad evaluations that I don't like.
Loperfido strikes out way too much to tap into his tools. Fool's gold.
Wagner is 26. You call that a prospect?
I like Bloss but he hasn't really translated his lower minor success at Triple-A Buffalo and his upside was already limited. It's a meh return contrary to what the social media nerds said.

I don’t know what the social media nerds said. They all have their flaws (most prospects do) but if even one of those guys pans out at all for the Jays as a legit MLB’er, it’s a win for them. Not like they were going to be making any use of Kikuchi in August or September anyway.
