Meet Jack Flaherty, The Stud Starting Pitcher The Blue Jays Didn’t Feel Like Trading For

What in the actual fuck.

Team Shatkins knew JD wasn’t in their long-term plans over the course of last offseason. They knew Vladdy was coming. They knew to maximize Donaldson’s value they needed to deal him before this season started. They knew he was banged up and having serious leg issues from golfing too much. They knew JD missed 50 games and his numbers were on the decline.

So why the fuck didn’t they pull the trigger?

Meet Jack Flaherty. The blue-chip pitching prospect the Blue Jays wanted no part of. Maybe he had a rough 2017 and that’s why the Jays didn’t want to take a chance?

Think again.

He went 14-4 in the minors in 2017 and had a strikeout an inning and walked less than 40 in almost 150 innings.

Get your fucking head out of your ass Team Shatkins.

Shapiro is heading to the Mets.

Ross Atkins will be out soon after.

Jack Flaherty is staying in St Louis.
