Twitter has been exploding all night with some oh-so-crazy trade deadline stuff. Yeah, that oh-so-crazy shitty pun thing I just typed up is pretty lame, but whatever. It all started with a little Morororororosi this:
And then came this:
Feverishly working beside me, @ArdenZwelling has discovered that two #Rockies prospects, Sean Bouchard and Chad Spanberger, have been lifted early from their game with @GoTourists #Bluejays #HugWatch
And then this:
RHP Seung-hwan Oh to #Rockies is a done deal, source tells The Athletic.
And let me just get all ‘Dude, Where’s My Car?’ while I’m at it…

this…
So, of course, all of us went and googled Chad Spanberger to look at this:

But, you have to be careful with these 2018 Class-A numbers, especially the dingers thing because McCormick Field – the home of the Asheville Tourists and where Spanberger hit a lot of baseballs – looks like this:

So, yeah, right field is kind of not much of anything. And if you’re a 22-year-old who hits from the left side like Spanberger, then you better be raking, especially in Class-A.
Baseball Census had this to say about his power, which seems to be the big thing going for this 6′ 3″ first base prospect from Granite City, IL:

It’s cool that the Jays were able to pick up a prospect for 36-year-old Seung-hwan Oh (and Eugene his translator), but let’s not get too carried away here.
Adding depth in the farm is never a bad thing, as we all know. But, Spanberger might be more of a meh than a whoa whoa whoa sort of prospect. But, if the meh turns to whoa, that is very fine. Either way, this is a good trade for the Jays, Oh brought back a prospect (maybe more as we wait for other names in the deal).
Now, here’s a video of that new prospect:
