That's a slider/cutter from a lefty on the outer half and he took it about 400 feet to right center

Short of an ill timed injury Canario is not going to be in the org on August 1st.  Hes also clearly MLB ready.  If I'm a team selling and looking to acquire a young OF in the process, I'd MUCH prefer 4 months of Canario with minor league options than just 2.  And obviously Jed would prefer two months of the inevitable reliever Alexander's going to net.

But alas this trade won't involve the Mariners or Padres so everyone has to wait 6 weeks to get serious for no good reason.
