"3-team trade 👀 STL gets: Jurrangelo Cijntje, RHP (MLB 91, SEA 7: atmlb.com/3Zb1nQD) Tai Peete, OF (SEA 11: atmlb.com/4qi2AjT) Colton Ledbetter, OF (TB 24: atmlb.com/4qk3Ral) Comp B pick from TB TB gets: Ben Williamson, OF SEA gets: Brendan Donovan, INF/OF Usually ignore this stuff, but I've seen too many uneducated comments calling Jurrangelo Cijntje a "gimmick pitcher" because he no longer does the thing nobody really expected him to do at the highest level. Cijntje was a first round talent on his right arm alone."
"Cijntje was a first round talent on his right arm alone."
A three-team trade sends Jurrangelo Cijntje (RHP), Tai Peete (OF), Colton Ledbetter (OF) and a Competitive Balance B pick from Tampa Bay to St. Louis. Tampa Bay receives outfielder Ben Williamson, and Seattle acquires infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan. Jurrangelo Cijntje was a first-round talent based largely on elite right-arm ability despite no longer featuring a previously notable pitch at the highest level. Labels calling Cijntje a "gimmick pitcher" focus on the missing pitch, but his arm strength and draft pedigree support his prospect status. The trade alters outfield and bullpen depth across the three clubs.
