Bluejays 'bid' on Suk-min Yoon

[Angrioter]

""We seem to be about a week away from a decision on where the South Korean will land. When Masahiro Tanaka was out there, teams considered him the best free agent pitcher, and now Yoon could be that guy. Concerns about an injury to his elbow have subsided, as medical reports have been studied closely by teams. There's lots of competition for him. The Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Orioles in the AL East have made bids. The Diamondbacks also remain interested, but at this stage "it could be anybody," according to a National League general manager.""

No thanks

[awsomest]

his baseball reference page says hes hasn't pitched since 2010? also he was nothing special in korea.......

[Angrioter]

Hard to have an opinion either way. Maybe he sucks, or maybe he's another Wei-Yin Chen.

 

or another Ryu

LOL.

 

I just read your signature and nearly choked to death on my food.

 

Haha.

[jays4life19]

From the reports i have read it sounds like he's a boarder line back of the rotation starter but most likely a reliever.

 

We have plenty of that already.

Is Jesse Chavez available?

[jays4life19]

What does it say, I have them blocked?

 

It's a quote from some guy on this board who stated... "I don't think there's any evidence that a player gets a contract based on how many wins they expect him to provide."

[GD]

Meh.

[dineke]

Suk min Dickey

 

 

 

 

 

Had to do it.

We probably got outbid by like 10-15M (Meaning we likely bid like 2M lol)

Chapman: Reds 30M - Jays 5M

Puig: LAD 42M - Jays 5M

Cespedes: A's 36M - Jays 5M

Adeiny: Jays 10M - others 200K <----------Jays overcame their own offer

I guess that's the hold up with the other FA pitchers... was wondering why it was taking so long.

Yeah although it doesn't really make sense given the massive gap between this guy and Tanaka.

[xposbrad]

Great, the blue jays are left with the scraps. Is he even good enough to be a starter? He doesn't look like he has the kind of stuff for the starting rotation. Why overpay for an unproven reliever anyways? There were way better players available before him. I can never figure this club out, maybe it's better that way so I'm not pissed off again when they finish near the bottom.

Is there any reason why we didn't bid on Guerrero or Abreu? ESPECIALLY Guerrero, he's a 2B for god sakes

Yoon makes no sense for us , We have 4,s and 5,s . We don't need another one .

It may be more related to his cost than anything else.

[SAAviour]

Damn, that guy didn't make the jump...but that was still an impressive jump.

Any starter with any type of upside makes sense for us.

 

We're not in a position to be turning away pitching depth at a reasonable price.

I wonder if technically this guy would still have options? That would make the signing even better.

What? How is missing a jump and busting your balls impressive?

 

Either way that picture describes the blue jay's season and potential offseason well.
