2021/2022 Free Agency Thread

I wouldn't hold too much hope on that deal sources says that Freeman is looking for a 6 year deal worth $180 mil. He likely like to stay in Atlanta if they pay him otherwise he going to a big market team and it won't be in Canada

 

For the life of me I can't figure out how the Braves are balking at Freeman. Absolute beast that's been your franchise cornerstone his entire career and projects to still be an amazing hitter for at least the next 4 years. I get it to a point, you know he wont be worth it the entire length of the deal, but you just figuratively stole money from Acuna and Albies, in order to ensure you can pay other great players. FREEMAN IS THAT GREAT PLAYER!

 

In the words of Teddy KGB ... "Pay that man his money"

[G-Snarls]

Kikuchi would be fine on a one year deal. I'm guessing Shatkins is looking for their next Matz type in a low risk deal to fill out the 5th spot.

 

Appropriately so

 

Our top 4 is so good we just need to make sure have enough innings to cover the 5 spot and injuries

[hongsw84]

i think we are chase of freeman so he is going to be full time DH if we land him

 

also , i think catcher next year should be kirk and need to package jansen and grichuk for good bullpen pitcher

 

correa should be good option too but i think there is going to be conflict if we get him, possibily bo bichette move to 3 b but i dont think bichette will be happy if we move him to 3b

His plan could happen if Rogers just spent a ridiculous amount of money and the team would be awesome

 

Even Grichuk/Jansen for a good reliever could happen if Jays pay a bunch of Grichuk's salary

 

Sign Freddie Freeman 6 years 180 million

Sign Carlos Correa 12 years 400 million (a little more than Seager + premium to come to Canada)

 

In the real world it is not going to happen, but hypotheticall could Rogers do it? Would they go bankrupt? Or would they make a tonne of dough because 3.5 million fans come to watch the super team and they get the best rating ever?

He turned down a 1 year $13M option in Seattle to become a FA, so a 1 year deal may cost us $18-$20M unless the market for him completely evaporates.

[Deadpool]

Gotta love the Dogg!

 

Nah, this guy keeps reporting posts, Dogg never bothered reporting posts.

This board is not a country.

 

I mention this because you seem to need basic things explained to you.

[Spanky99]

I'd rather give Rodon a one year deal @ 25M

[max silver]

I don't think he's in any position to demand that type of contract based on his body of work up to this point. I think he made a mistake turning down the $13 million option personally as he's been mediocre at best up to this point in MLB.

Agreed. Him opting out was a bit of a shocker. He would be the exact type of guy people would be trying to sign to be this year's Steven Matz.

So, you're saying the Dogg is better than this dude?

Right-handed reliever Corey Knebel is in agreement on a contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN.

[Stangstag]

 

Feel like the Jays should have gone for him at that price

[Spanky99]

 

I was just going to say it'll be 14M... MLBTR guys have been good at this.

I haven't been following the board as much lately so I assume there is a troll problem and somebody is creating multiple accounts. I seem to recall some guy suggesting permutations of signing a,b,c and Pujols... lol. Maybe this is the same guy.

 

However he's basically just suggesting Toronto do what Texas just did...

 

Probably a Troll yes, but the idea is actually possible if Rogers really wanted to open up their wallets.

[Olerud363]

lol the board already chased away Todd... who if I recall a mod investigated and Todd wasn't a Troll. That was his real personality.
