General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Abomination replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I don't expect us to sign him or really field a competitive offer. I'm sure we'll meet with him, but honestly our pitching is not the problem we need to solve. I suspect most of our moves will be via FA, and I'd expect to see something fairly soon. If we really want Bellinger, then I could see us waiting on signing other people until he decides. If not, then I think we'll be fairly aggressive and get at least one or two things done sooner rather than later. -
I think the tennis players do it to avoid taxes on sponsorships and stuff (not to mention investments). It doesn't hurt that Monaco was smart and created world class tennis facilities with great weather.

I'm not sure I like the idea of Schneider full time at 3rd. I think ideally he slots in as a guy who is more of a super utility and maybe plays 4-5 times a week between 2nd, 3rd, lf, dh, etc. I don't like selling low on Manoah either. I think we need to slot him into the #5 spot and give him the rope to work through it (assuming he hasn't already this offseason). I kinda feel like we have to go after Bellinger, as scary as that is.

Can't really argue with any of that.

I don't actually think they were. My suspicion is that the Jays were the high bidder by probably $50M. The Dodgers likely upped their offer to be close after news that they lost the bid, and Ohtani then negotiated the deferred deal to allow him to accept the highest bid while not being too disrespectful to what was probably a non-finalized agreement with the Jays. The marketing opportunities in LA plus potentially not having to move were probably deciding factors. Atkins definitely doesn't go AWOL at the winter meetings if they don't have very good reason to believe they were likely to get him.
-
I think it would be a bad idea to make a panic trade. We need legit bats at 3rd, OF, and DH at minimum. It would be nice if the DH could play the field too, but they probably don't HAVE to. You could imagine something like Chapman / Turner + Bellinger + JD creating quite a nice lineup. That's assuming someone doesn't do something insane with Bellinger.
-
As much as I'd love to watch Ohtani for the next 10 years, I wouldn't be very happy to have us pay 70M a year for him. The same goes for what it would have cost us in trade for one year of Soto. The front office definitely has to do SOMETHING fairly significant to improve the team though. We can't waste the time we have with Vladdy and Bo.

We're not the Orioles.

And he'll think it's all for him. Could be hilarious!

Not a great week (a lot of guys sitting out on back-to-backs and day-to-day injuries really hurt), but most of the actual numbers aren't horrible. Ran into the wrong team on the wrong week.
-
Anyone else seeing weird things in the stat tracker?
-
I'm still not sure what team showed up. You could probably have got some amazing odds half way through the 4th quarter!
-
If the refs keep up with these BS calls, they might get 225 free throws alone.
-
My team seems to have forgotten how to put the puck in the net.

TCA is up!

Decided to kill my ratios with Barrett. Speedy is up!
-
Took Nurkic. TCA is up
-
Took Draymond Green. Speedy is up!
-
I took Middleton. Sorry for the delay, I was never notified until like an hour or so ago.
-
Guess it's kind of hard not to take Beal here. Speedy is up!
-
Why not take 2 SP slots and 1 RP slot and convert them to P slots? That would give 3 SP and 3 RP dedicated slots with the rest being flexible. It deals with the opener nonsense while still maintaining some sort of traditional balance. I don't really see the need to add additional slots. I wouldn't be opposed to combining saves and holds and adding another category though. Maybe adding something like innings pitched.

Remember when Romano was left in after an issue with his hand a few weeks ago? Let's get this done!

Twitter absolutely blew up over it. They're going to be answering questions for the next week regardless of what happens the rest of this game.
