Offseason Roster Thread (2020-2021)

[Brownie19]

Yeah last time I checked Bregman was a third baseman. I'm pretty sure Correa is Huston's primary shortstop! Bregman a 3 year college player like Martin. Martin actually had better college stats. Bregman played his age 21 season after being drafted in A Ball. The following year he started as AA moved to AAA and made his debut in the bigs and got 217 at bats with a 16% better than league average bat in his first year. If Martin follows the same path he would be up this year mid summer. I'm not saying Martin will be Bregman, but they have the same pedigree. You at least prepare for the possibility a guy like Martin might be ready to come up next year.

 

This - we're not f***ing trading Martin. We have 2 large holes right one. One at 3rd (or SS if they actually think Bo moves off there) and CF. Martin fills one of those holes - possibly as soon as late 2021.

[Orgfiller]

I wonder what Oakland would think about something like Martin and Teoscar for Khris Davis (who we'd presumably cut) and Laureano? It wouldn't change our ability to sign Springer either.

 

Jesus Christ Abom.

Either way if you can get Springer to sign now you just do it.

 

If we end up with 2 guys capable of playing above average MLB caliber CF at some point then that's great. You worry about that "problem" later

 

Obviously Shapiro and Atkins agree or they wouldn't be hard after Springer like they are.

[Krylian]

If it wasn't mentioned before, Jays are "in on" Jeffress.

Springer probably only plays CF for another 2-3 years - so yes.

[L54]

Red Sox patrolled three CF's in their outfield at one point

 

I don't think having a logjam in CF is even a thing

[Abomination]

I hope that's a joke.

[Krylian]

I hope that's a joke.

 

No. Popped up on my Score app. 10 teams interested. Jays among them.

[Ryu In My House]

Would anyone sign Tanaka at 2-year/30M? Steamer still projects him at > 2 WAR.

[G-Snarls]

Are they really after a big money "closer"?

 

It seems like they might be.

 

Jeffress walks way too many and has been as up and down as relievers get since he pitched for the Jays many years ago

[G-Snarls]

Yes

 

And the Angels should sign him if he'll take that

[Ryu In My House]

Yes

You reference the Angels a fair bit, which is weird on a Jays forum. Is there a story behind that?

I guess I'm one of a handful on here who want to see them have more success

 

The be clear I'd rather the Jays sign Tanaka if possible

[G-Snarls]

Jeffress would cause me enormous stress in a tight wildcard game and you know Charlie would throw him out there for the 9th inning in a close game no matter how he and the rest of the bullpen had been pitching

[Brownie19]

I'm with you. Such a fascinating team with Trout, Rendon and Ohtani...but they are such a mess. They also need a SS if they aren't bringing Simmons back and Justin Upton needs to figure his s*** out.

[Abomination]

I want no part of Jeffress unless it's a minor league deal.

This. f*** me. This is the first guy we're rumored to be interested in that is a hard pass for me (assuming he's going to get real money offered to him).

[Ray]

Lol Padres acquire Joe Musgrove

 

 

Preller really going for it.

[Jays24]

Exactly... if we could have a bunch of CFs and SSs all over the diamond, we'd have the best defense in the majors.

 

Martin won't be calling shots as to where he starts off in the majors. By the time he does, Springer would be ready to move to a corner OF spot. And that's the best case scenario

[Jays24]

Lol Padres acquire Joe Musgrove

Holy s***. Mets and Padres just took everyone this offseason.

[Ray]

Dinelson Lamet's elbow must be f***ed...right?

[Spanky99]

Yes

 

And the Jays should sign him if he'll take that

 

Ftfy

[Spanky99]

Dinelson Lamet's elbow must be f***ed...right?

 

Looking more and more likely.

[Krylian]

Holy s***. Mets and Padres just took everyone this offseason.

 

It's exciting for their fans

[L54]

Okay so now we got our FA starter we need a 3B (La Stella) and a CF (JBJ). A couple of BP arms and good to go.

[DigitalRock]

In other news… #BlueJays are in serious pursuit of George Springer. Sides were expected to re-connect early this week and may have already done so per sources. Latest info @sportsnet with @shidavidi https://t.co/lKtDPvDAog
