    So now it's extra EXTRA official:

    The Blue Jays will not be making a qualifying offer to righty Josh Johnson, MLBTR has learned. Even after a lost season wrecked by injuries, there was a small chance that the Jays would overpay to get the 29-year-old under contract for 2014. Had the Blue Jays made the $14.1MM qualifying offer, it's likely Johnson would have accepted, as he's not expected to reach that salary on the open market. Johnson, profiled by MLBTR here, ranked 30th on our Top 50 Free Agents list. He's expected to be ready for Spring Training after elbow surgery this month, and will be seeking a one-year deal to rebuild value. A few days ago, agent Matt Sosnick told Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press, "If Toronto doesn't make a qualifying offer, we'll probably be looking for a good pitching atmosphere, a good defense behind him and a team with a good chance to win."

    Good read "The most abrupt change for Encarnacion over the last two seasons wasn’t the increased power production. He’s always possessed massive raw power. It was simply an issue of consistently tapping into that power. He made some mechanical adjustments to shorten his swing — and they’ve been well-publicized — but perhaps the most intriguing aspect of his meteoric rise the past two seasons has been his incredible improvement in his plate discipline. His walk rate jumped dramatically to 13.0% in 2012 and remained consistent at 13.2% this past season. Simultaneously, his strikeout rate decreased and he was one of only four qualified hitters to walk more than he struck out in 2013. What makes Encarnacion unique is that he’s the only one in that group who can be considered a power hitter. Norichika Aoki, Marco Scutaro and Alberto Callaspo don’t even cumulatively come close to Encarnacion’s home run total this year (20 to 36, respectively)."

    He is special And he's ours
  11. G-Snarls
    OK, I'll stop yakking about it.
  12. G-Snarls
    Nevermind. They do plan to give Kuroda a QO: http://mweb.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24171209/yanks-to-make-qualifying-offer-to-cano-kuroda-only-leaning-on-grandy
  13. G-Snarls
    I haven't heard anything on Yankees qualifying him or extending him. Have they announced anything?
  14. G-Snarls
    Kuroda on a 1 year deal would be ideal while we see how the young guys develop. Then you can possibly turn him in to a draft pick.
  15. G-Snarls
    I'd give him 18M plus an option year. You?
  16. G-Snarls
    Well they can't ALL play in Miami. Especially if they're good and want to make more than league minimum.
  17. G-Snarls
    I know. He's the one I wanted most too (well, after Darvish failure) So many consequences to the lack of landing a quality free agent starter...
  18. G-Snarls
    Seems as good a time as any to moan about that fact that Anibal Sanchez declined to sign with us last off season despite being aggressively pursued.
  19. G-Snarls
  20. G-Snarls
    Rays and DeJesus agree to 2 year deal
  21. G-Snarls
    Me too. (See above post). But will they sign here?
  22. G-Snarls
    Again it comes down to who you can get For example, I'd take Kuroda over Johnson for 14M in a heartbeat. But will Kuroda sign here? Possibly, but probably not. This team has trouble attracting free agents.
  23. G-Snarls
    I'd rather that than him accepting a 7-8M base plus incentive deal elsewhere.
  24. G-Snarls
    No matter... I'm sure his agent does NOT want him lingering with no deal and the draft pick compensation red flag all off season If he's given a qualifying offer he will accept
  25. G-Snarls
    A team with a protected first round pick might not mind
