Did The Houston Astros Waste Their Window With Yusei Kikuchi?| Reflecting On The Kikuchi Experience

Today is the start of our 2024 player reviews. There are a lot of players to review from this season, so we decided to start with the players that were moved at the trade deadline from the Blue Jays to opposing organizations. Today, we decided to start with Yusei Kikuchi and Nate Pearson, two pitchers who had many ups and downs throughout their Blue Jays career. In this episode, we analyze the transactions these players were involved in, mainly focusing on the player's performance with the Toronto Blue Jays organization. How would you grade Yusei Kikuchi’s tenure with the Blue Jays? Should the Blue Jays have moved on from Nate Pearson? We break down these two players' Blue Jays careers and present them with letter grades for their performance in this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
