We've acquired SS Aledmys DĂaz from the Cardinals in exchange for Minor League OF J.B. Woodman. An All-Star in 2016, Diaz has hit .283 with 24 homers, 85 RBI, and a .799 OPS in two MLB seasons. pic.twitter.com/nbVu1IIaIF— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) December 2, 2017

Is this good?
Crazy. Can’t believe my brother @rgoins17 is gone. Even worse when you find out through Twitter! #communication— Marcus Stroman (@STR0) December 2, 2017

There is one Blue Jay who is upset on the non-tender to Goins:Crazy. Can’t believe my brother @rgoins17 is gone. Even worse when you find out through Twitter! #communication— Marcus Stroman (@STR0) December 2, 2017

Even worse when you find out through Twitter! #communication— Marcus Stroman (@STR0) December 2, 2017I saw this yesterday and I am still unable to figure out whether Stroman is upset that HE only found out via twitter or that Goins only found out via twitter. It has to be the latter, right?
As for moving on from Goins, he's not good so it isn't a big deal but I think it's important to remember that they replaced him with Gift Ngoepe. A guy who is good defensively (like Goins) and is actually worse offensively. So I'm not exactly sure that I understand the move from an organizational standpoint.
I think it makes sense if you consider that with Travis, Tulo and Diaz around ideally Goins(or whoever) wouldn't even be on the big league club next year. So how much value does Goins have as a 30 year old AAA player?

So how much value does Goins have as a 30 year old AAA player? Agreed. With Diaz in the fold, instead of a 4th middle infielder, the Jays need a utility player with more utility than Goins.
I really think Travis should be the DH, in which case they should have kept Goins as their backup infielder, and just let Diaz play second base every day.
