TOR sends JaCoby Jones, DET
CHC sends Domingo German, NYY CHC MiLB 4th round Diosbel Arias, TEX
My lineup will really be helped out by this win-now move involving an affordable $700,000 2020-21T contract on Jones, who although is on his way back down to earth after the hot start has still demonstrated some upside that I didn't think was there at the start of the season.
What will become of German is anyone's guess after his involvement in a violent domestic situation and weird retirement announcement this season. As I see it, the Yankees have far too many pitchers to deal with a headcase like German, though the upside remains.
Arias and the 4th rd pick are low enough impact pieces to lose to prevent the deal going through.

Toronto Accepts. I got Jones for free on a claim, he hits the ball hard, plays everyday, but still strikes out a ton and has cooled off a lot. My team has been not doing great in two of the three weeks and while the playoffs is possible with this squad, its less likely with Bo getting hurt and my pitching being dreadful.
Basically, I am buying low on German who, as Curtis mentioned, has a lot going on personally. Whatever it is and regardless of the fantasy context, I hope he figures it out as life is hard enough. If he does and returns next seasons, his upside is considerably higher than Jones and I get to add a minor league player I had interest in and a MiLB pick (I <3 MiLB Picks).
