20-team, 26-man rosters + 15-man farm, 7x7 scoring. The league has been running for almost 10 years, and has a lot of Jays Centre forum posters The roster needs some work, but does have Vlad Jr. If interested, please send me a PM or post ITT

I want Toronto to sign Arraez. He's not particularly good and doesn't have a place on the team. I just like watching him hit.
-
Apparently they also owed 15% of the 57M to his former team, so it was actually 3/66 or so. Not a huge deal, but I think it makes sense to prefer 1/22 to 3/66. I think he'll accept the QO.
-
Apparently Ponce touches 97-98 now, along with a vastly improved curveball and a good split. He just broke the single-season KBO strikeout record. Intriguing target.
-
Yeah I kind of thought they'd keep him around with his projected arb salary being about league min. He's shown enough to be given a 26-man spot IMO. I think he'll get a major league deal.
-
Tate and Burr outrighted and will hit free agency. Pina also outrighted but will stay with the org. Brandon Valenzuela added to the 40-man, giving us three catchers.
-
The problem with AA is that he has no social skills and doesn't consider his players to be people. That's how you end up assuming nobody on your team will ever get hurt, making a franchise legend cry because you don't want to offer him a contract, taking advantage of all of your players on horrible contract extensions, and assembling one of the most joyless teams baseball has seen in decades. Contrast with the sweater-vest wearing dork who just assembled the greatest vibes team of all time. If AA really wants to turn the corner as a GM he should intern here for a few years.
-
It's November 5th and the team has 11 hitters and 5 pitchers projected to be league average or better. Insane depth. Feels like just yesterday when everyone was longing for the days of AA and his insistence that roster spots 15-40 don't really matter.
-
It's going to be so sad when Pittsburgh signs Cedric Mullins and Martin Perez and calls it an offseason.
-
Between this, Flaherty opting in, and the Cubs cutting Imanaga - signs of a soft FA market?
-
This is f***ing great news. I thought there was no chance.
-
Anyone else surprised by this?
-
Damn, that's sad. Probably it for him. Hell of a career.
-
Surprised there were no takers for Imanaga on the trade market. He's only 31, and 3/57 isn't a huge commitment. Frankie Montas got 2/34 last year and he's awful.
-
I forgot he even existed
-
People keep saying this, but SPs tend to have a lot of pride in that role, and I don't think a guy who's been making 30+ effective starts a year is going to accept that he's a reliever now. Someone will pay Bassitt 2/30 or something to bolster their rotation. Maybe more than that.
-
It's going to be interesting to see how the bullpen is handled There are some choices to make early in the offseason. Locks Hoffman, Varland, Garcia, Rodriguez, Nance (no options) Probables Fisher (has options), Little (options) That's like 7 pretty good arms likely being looked at as MLB guys in 2026 before the offseason even starts, and doesn't include Fluharty who has options as well. That's a lot of bodies, and it creates interesting decisions on a few guys: Possible Cuts - Is Sandlin tendered a contract? Expected 2M arb award and he doesn't really stand out among the current guys. - Tate almost certainly non-tendered. 1.7M arb salary, no options, and sucks - What happens with Burr? He's looked good here and is only expected to make 800K via arb, but he's out of options and his shoulder injury is a big deal. - Bruihl DFA'd at some point this offseason to open up a roster spot? Tough to keep an arm like that around when you can't option him.

I keep looking at King and have no idea what to think: - Stuff+ 96 in 2024 and 99 in 2025 - velo down 1-2 ticks from his NYY days, sitting a hair under 94 - missed over two months with a shoulder issue mid-season, and has a pretty long injury history - he'll have a comp pick attached Is he looking for a long-term deal? A 1-year pillow contract while aiming for a healthy season and to re-enter the market with no comp pick attached?
-
Two of those would be great. But even if payroll comes in at ~265 again and they let Bo walk, I think they could have a very good offseason with 40M or whatever they'd have to spend: 25M for one of the good SPs Trade for Brandon Lowe for 2B (11.5M) Give Danny Coulombe whatever's left over to add another LHP in the pen if Little is permanently shellshocked
-
That team would cost about 320M. It would also be the best team in baseball.

Chris Bassitt Hopeful To Re-Sign With Toronto Blue Jays
BTS replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Kind of depends on where payroll is going to land. If the Jays are coming in under the second CBT threshold again they have a bit under 40M to spend and I don't think 15M or whatever to Bassitt is the way you use your resources unless it's a January thing and they struck out elsewhere. If Rogers is letting them go to 300 or something than year sure who cares. -
You’re right. I mostly just hate pointing to a single play as the reason for the loss. Razor thin series that hinged on a hundred different small plays that went one way and could have gone another

Max Scherzer Likely To Play Again In 2026
BTS replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Problem is you don't really want to start the season with two of Scherzer/Berrios/Lauer already in your best 5 starters. Aim higher! Aim for more upside. -
Not sure who to trust here: one of the best baserunners of the last decade, or the collective wisdom of Blue Jays fans on the internet
