From Morosi: #BlueJays showing interest in Josh Reddick, sources say, but can't fully determine direction until after José Bautista QO decision. @MLB

f*** ya. Absolutely love him

Me too but he always seems to be injured. Could say the same about Jose though too.

If Reddick is the second best player they sign I can live with it. If he's the biggest acquisition it's pretty meh.

Edwin coming back, signing Reddick and getting two picks from Bautista would be a dream off season

 

2 picks from Bautista? Wouldn't it only be 1?

Do we need a new thread every time there's one of these frivolous reports?

It's the offseason. It's slow. I say yes.

If we don't get Bautista back, Reddick seems like a painfully obvious choice, being a LH bat, has put up good numbers in the past, won't take a massive commitment, and is still young enough that he can be productive for the length of his deal.

EE will probably come in around 20M per year. JB I expect around 20 as well, but bidding wars might put him closer to 25. Reddick should be cheaper, in the 15-17 range I'd expect.

 

The only reason that Reddick or JB will come in "cheaper" than EE is because he'll probably get a longer deal than either of the other guys. The AAV of his deal won't be substantially more than the other guys on the market.

Is new very surprised if Bautista got 20/yr. I'm thinking he gets 17-18 AAV, for 2-3 seasons.

Total contract, EE will likely get more.

 

Lets say EE gets 4/90 (conservative total), it's unlikely the combined deals of JB and Reddick cost 90 million.

 

Fangraphs crowsourcing has EE @4/90, JB at 3/60, and Reddick somewhere around 50M over 3-4 years, so JB+Reddick > EE in total value, but obviously more years of control total combined.

Yeah a Reddick and Bautista combo might cost about the same amount of money as EE on his own.

 

Also allows a little more flexibility. Say what you want about Bautista's defense but he could still play RF or LF for 20 games. EE your stuck with at 1B or DH.

I don't think JB is going to get 60 guaranteed, but I guess we will see. If he gets 2/40, JB and Reddick will likely come in under EE.

Lol uh no .

 

I think there's a chance! If EE gets 90 million then someone will have to give Bautista a 3 year deal or Reddick a 4 year deal to eclipse 90 mil.

Lot better than individual signing ideas getting separate, numbered threads.

Nope, do not want this guy!!!

 

He kinda actually Suxx's

 

I do not want a LH bat who needs a platoon partner!

 

For the money needed, no f***ing thanks. :)

 

Having one or two platoon bats is actually kind of ideal, if you have the right guy as the platoon partner. It means (for example) that you extract extra value out of your 4th outfielder. The Dodgers did this really effectively with Ethier and Van Slyke.

Platoons are never ideal over one player who can play everyday at the position.

 

Last 3 years of Reddick gets you this vs Lhp 202ave, 265 obp, 534ops\ Rhp 249 Ave, 305 obp, 714 ops

Total 258ave, 313 obp, 734 ops for 12 - 17 mil and I need a platoon partner to play and pay to boot.

 

Angel pagen might cost less and has a better fielding percentage in all fields career wise and is a switch hitter who has stolen 43 bases over the last 3 years. Doesn't need a platoon partner, ya dig?

 

Last 3 years vs Lhp 275ave, 311obp, 689ops / Rhp 279ave, 330 obp, 709 ops total 278ave, 324 obp, 702ops
