Toronto welcomes the new GM from Texas with his first deal --- and it's a big one meeting multiple needs for each club.
Toronto sends Matt Manning, SP Pat Valaika, 1B/2B/SS Amboris Tavarez, SS Malvin Valdez, OF Victor Vodnik, SP/RP Jose Corneill, SP Chris Clarke, SP
and the 6.15, 8.16 and 9.15 picks in this year's 2022 FYPD (i.e., draft happening right now).
in exchange, Texas sends
Trevor Larnach, OF, MIN JJ Bleday, OF, MIA Johan Rojas, OF, PHI 2023 FYPD 2nd Rnd Draft Pick
Texas makes a massive improvement to their farm system and snag a premier, young starting pitcher.
Toronto reduces salary and hones in on some very specific targets who should contribute in 2023.
Thanks for the great deal-making, Texas --- very good negotiator and super responsive. Best of luck in 2022.

The Rangers make their first (New owner) deal as we like the upside in Tavarez, Valdez and Corniell. Also gaining the SP in Manning whose upside is still there is nice. Giving away some nice future pieces in Lanach and Bleday, but like the return, plus picks in this year's Draft to take a flier on some young talent.
Nice dealing, Jays
