Mariners trade Daniel Vogelbach to Blue Jays for cold, hard cash – Lookout Landing

Vogelbach was designated for task on August 20, with a 39 wRC+ and a. 094/.250/.226 line that executed battles from many of the 2nd half of the 2019 season. Vogelbachs struggles were an obstacle for the staying power of his modifications and the capability of Seattles training personnel to assist changes stick, and his regression from seeming brilliant area to reasonable bait-cutting is a disappointing end to the saga of Vogdor.

The Mariners have actually formally parted methods with 1B/DH Daniel Vogelbach. Vogey was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays this night in exchange for cash considerations.

In Toronto, Vogelbach has far from a clear path to playing time. In the beginning base, the Blue Jays have 21 years of age leading prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has actually currently needed to move off third to ease his protective restrictions. As a full-time DH at present, the Jays have 64 leviathan Rowdy Tellez, whose numbers are underwhelming over the past few years, but have never ever dipped as low as Vogelbachs recent struggles. Vogelbach is a veteran of sorts, with Tellez simply 25 and Toronto currently working with a punchless bench of just 3 gamers, however the loss of bat speed and versatility Vogelbach showed in 2020 didnt right away look like the item of a simple change of surroundings. Hopefully he can find his early 2020 kind in the AL East.
