Trade Details
BUCS ADD PITCHING PROSPECT AQUINO Sunday, May 10, 2015
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired pitcher Jayson Aquino from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates?
Aquino is still very young (22) and left-handed, so he has plenty of upside for Major League Baseball. For now, he'll likely pitch as a starter in A-ball but could move up quickly if he performs to expectations.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays?
The Jays decided to give up on Aquino, whom they had acquired from Colorado in February. Toronto has plenty of young starting pitching, so they felt comfortable in letting Aquino go at this time.
Fantasy Impact
While he possesses pretty good long-range fantasy upside, Aquino won't reach the bigs for a while still. He's a player to stash away for future use.
