Jays Trade Imminent... Report Reveals Varsho GONE | Toronto Blue Jays News

It just took an absolutely sickening turn and as if the season couldn't get any worse for the Toronto Blue Jays. We have multiple injury updates, including one to Addison Berger that is not only way worse than we all initially thought, folks, has massive implications, not just this year, but heading into next season. I'm going to break that down, but also discuss some questionable decisions by John Schneider in yesterday's game surrounding bullpen usage and a trade update involving Blue Jays center fielder Dalton Brasho is a lot of rumors are starting to fly surrounding him a lot to discuss on this episode today. But before we get into it, a very quick reminder, hit that subscribe button. You guys have an absolute piece of the support and it truly means the world to me. Now, folks, there's a lot to discuss on this video. We're going to be diving into a lot of different things. And I mean, at this point in time, this season is pretty much over. There's a chance there's a chance. I'm not going to doubt it. But I have a few things that I'm into today. And let's start with Addison Berger now. He is officially I mean, this is God, it's kind of sickening to even think about, but he is officially done with elbow surgery. We'll dive into his comments in a minute, but he will undergo surgery on his right elbow. This could be a full Tommy John, which would come with an estimated nine month rehab and cut into next season. If only an internal brace brace or surgery procedure, sorry, is needed that estimated closer to six months. So Berger is finished this year with one hit on the season and talk about a disastrous year. Right. Berger is somebody that I mean, ultimately was supposed to be somebody who helped replace some of the offense you lost from Boba Shett leaving in the offseason and the opposite happened. He gave one hit the whole year. He's been hurt the entire year. But this is really bad. There's a chance that he misses next season because of this. Yes. Season, which is absolutely ludicrous, unfortunate, whatever you want to call it. And boy, does it sting for this team? Obviously, they lost yesterday, but the reason I bring up this tweet, August 3rd is the trade deadline. Right. And I'll dive into what that means in a minute. But first, let's dive into John's comments on Addison Berger. He says it's tough to lose in the whole year of at bats, reps and performance, or rather tough to lose the whole year of at bats, reps and performance. We were counting on him to be a big part of this team. You can see how much we miss him for sure. And he's not the sole reason this offense has been absolutely abysmal, but it definitely sucks missing him. Right. And he finished with only 22 at bats and one hit, obviously struggled heavily good for a 45 average. He came back, had that throw at home. Absolutely gunning. I forget who it was. Somebody out and the vibes are at a pretty all time high, maybe all time high for this season. And then he goes down and he gets hurt. So very, very bad. And this is not, I mean, this is really compared to what we initially thought the injury was, which was the hamstrings. And he came back an elbow injury for him to go from hamstring injury to now Tommy John surgery potentially on his arms is absolutely brutal. But I'm more nervous about next season because this team has a lot of holes to fill. Their offense is really bad. It's not going to get any better specifically, you know, next season on its own. And yeah, unfortunate for Addison Berger. Comment down below what your thoughts are on this and losing him this year was brutal. We kind of just assumed he was going to miss most of the year now, but I would have liked to see him get a few reps just to have the the vibes come together a little bit more because they did lose yesterday pretty badly. Six to four. They came back. They made a game out of out of it. But this is the Toronto Blue Jays we're talking about here. And it is in a very, very rough spot for this team. Now there was some interesting updates. We also got surrounding a bunch of other people. So again, Berger will have elbow surgery Monday. Unclear whether it's Tommy John or brace. He's just Sanchez and Jimmy Garcia will play in Dunedin today. Garcia will pitch one in Sanchez plays five Scherzer through Penn and is close to coming back. So if we are going to be and the Jays will be going in a fire sale, I guess getting as many guys back before the deadline like Jesus Sanchez, Jimmy Garcia, will they give you any value? Probably not. Maybe Jesus Sanchez. You obviously traded Joey Loper Fito for it's an interesting situation, an interesting blend between trying to balance what you have now and not completely tearing apart the team and obviously trying to win. Because I mean, the good news is Sanchez and Jimmy Garcia and Scherzer on the brink of a return, especially Scherzer. But the bad news is your many games under 500, you're in a horrible spot with the team. You aren't doing very well whatsoever. And then, of course, the big news of Mr. Berger undergoing season ending surgery. Let me know down below your thoughts are. Let's have a bunch of trade talk. So this is from Ben Nichols and Smith, and it came out yesterday. So earlier this week, the Jays were telling other teams that no final decision had been made, and that's likely still true as they begin a three game series against the Red Sox. The rival executives are now eyeing the Blue Jays as a likely seller, and the players are well aware of that possibility, too. So for the first time, we're starting to get actual reports from the insiders who work the Rogers about trades that are going to happen. And they're sellers. Right. There's no doubt about it. Jays are going to be sellers. Unfortunate. But, you know, they had to do it. Is it going to be full blown fire sale? Like twenty twenty four? Maybe. Maybe it's just a retool. We get to see some of the young guys. The problem is there's not a lot of young guys to really I mean, there are like a lot of the team and not super crazy high upside young guys like there was a couple in twenty twenty four at the same time, though. This becomes interesting. Stranding one name that is Dalton Versha, whose name has continued to pop up in talks and reports are starting to escalate surrounding him leaving. This is from Mitch Bannon. Versha is the Blue Jays one expiring player who is both unlikely to resign with Toronto and despite his recent struggles will have significant value in the trade market. Any deadline selling Toronto will include a Versha trade. So it does seem like Versha is going to be out of town as a as a Toronto Blue Jays. This is interesting. It's basically confirmed now. Mitch Bannon confirms it here that Versha was going to be gone, which is extremely interesting. There are some teams out there that, you know, are penciled in to be potential suitors, of course, for Dalton Versha. And let's have in a one of them, and that is the Pittsburgh Pirates. So they have been a team that has been linked. We'll have more videos on Versha trade, Springer trades, all that stuff. But if the Blue Jays decide to sell, Versha could be the perfect trade target for the Buccos. And it seems that the Pirates have no prospect limits here. Apparently, there's going to be going all out and buying, which is interesting for them. But again, this is a very notable report like Mitch Bannon doesn't need to come out and say stuff like this. He is basically confirming that Dalton Versha is going to be traded like a full blown confirmation here that he is out of town and there'll be a full video again discussing what it is. But it seems at this point, there's going to be a lot of trade videos. They're going to be all about selling. I mean, maybe they make a trade. I don't want to be surprised to make a trade for like Francisco Lindor or something like a retool like Jimenez for Lindor or something crazy. But Versha obviously is having a disappointing season, still very good defensively. But even at that 90th percentile outs above average, he's nowhere near what he can and should be. Offense is abysmal. Last year looked really good. Had an insane spring training this year for Versha and then comes out and puts up an absolute stinker of a season. And he's going to have a ton of value anyway. It's just the way that it is. He's such a good defender, at least on paper. But what prospects are you going to get? Maybe the pirates will be able to give us something really nice. And I guess if there's one silver lining here, we get to kind of retool for next year. It's probably going to be a bit of a lockout next season for at least the first couple months. But we have an opportunity here. I keep saying we keep saying we just have an opportunity to actually get a very interesting. I mean, their farm system is already very good. Like it's still top 20 in baseball. You can even propel it to top 15 and then maybe use that to make other trades in the offseason. But it does seem like he is destined to be a pirate or something else. And yeah, what a disastrous season you could see here. This is the worst team O.P.S. in a very, very long time, and it's not even close. So in the last decade plus, it is by excuse me, it's by far the worst, right? Eighty five O.P.S. Plus, I mean, the next worst is what, ninety one. So it is historically bad. You can blame a bunch of people. I mean, George Springer going from bad to really, really good last year to bad again is hurting a lot. There's just a lot of unfortunate scenarios that happened. Yeah, it's a merger between Donald and Bershow. Very, very sad, folks. Let me know down below what your thoughts are on this. Hopefully they win today. Who knows?
