Gurriel Jr has gotten hot at the right time. It’s a crowded outfield and I think this off season it’s time to wave goodbye to Grichuk, the guy is just too cold a majority of the season. Also, Trent Thornton needs to go the way of Tanner Roark and Tyler Chatwood.

Unfortunately Grichuk isn't going anywhere. That contract is immoveable... He's a 4th OF making 10mill per...

Gurriel/Springer/Teo are locked in for sure though.
Unless Cleveland would like to flip Jose Ramirez for Gurriel..

Thornton can be shot out of a cannon

$10 million is not high in today’s standards, I’m sure some team wanting a veteran place holder with some power would take him on, if not eat 50% of his salary. Think he’s only got two years left after this. His defence isn’t bad either so he does have some value, I mean he is hitting better than Bellinger this year, but so is half the league.

If you're going to eat half his salary (10mill of 20 owed) you'll still get nothing back for him, so why trade him at all? He's useful as a 4th outfielder.. he just shouldn't be used against RHP or late in games (his RISP and high leverage numbers are absolutely horrendous).

Only way he goes is if the Jays take back an equally garbage contract. An overpaid reliever perhaps.
