Looks like the comedy of errors by Andrus in the 7th inning of Game 5 against the Rangers which led to Bautista's iconic bat flip.

Jays have now signed, I think, all of their top 10 draft picks. Went over slot with Barriera and Tucker Toman and under slot with a few other picks. Looks like a pretty solid draft.

According to this site: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/draft/toronto-blue-jays/ they've signed 15 of 20 draft picks so far, which is pretty tidy business. The remaining high school kids might be tough signs (especially Nolan Perry, who was lights out in his senior year), but, overall, a solid draft for the Jays.

Considering what they gave Toman and Berierra you have to think they definitely made a couple of those picks with the intention of not signing anyone.

Well, that?s a pleasant surprise. With the numbers he put up, I figured he?d see himself as a future 1st rounder. He was practically y hit table on the mound and a huge producer at the plate.

Don't love that Groshans is part of this deal, though he has struggled at the plate this year, and, if Chapman sticks around for a while, there might not be a spot for him in the MLB roster. Might have been able to be used as part of a more impactful trade, though.

That being said, Pop is a good, young, controllable bullpen piece. Bass has experience with the Jays, as well.
 
Like you say Pop has control and Bass has a team option for 2023 so neither guy is strictly a rental. Still not ideal to trade a top 100 prospect for bullpen guys but Groshans seems a bit injury prone so it's probably not a huge risk.

Yup, and with the year he's having, Groshans won't be near any top 100 lists next season. Doesn't feel great at the moment, but hopefully, it's a case of the team recognizing his value isn't going to recover. 5 years of control on Pop could be worth it in the end.

You also have to think that this is maybe a sign that they're pretty confident about keeping Chapman which would mean Groshans doesn't have a great path to the majors anyway.
