Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
BTS replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yup, Bauer is target #1 for me too. You can also dream on him being a bit more likely to stay healthy/effective because he's so thoughtful and receptive to data on things like spin and biomechanics. -
FYI the Leafs missed the playoffs last year and haven't won a playoff series in 17 years.
-
One of Toronto's division rivals should claim Spezza and force him into retirement. He's still a useful player in his role.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
BTS replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Rosenthal reporting that the Jays are still interested in Brantley. Would be a great addition: great hitter who can make 3-4 competent starts in LF and DH a couple times a week. -
Yup. Prospects being blocked isn’t really a thing in baseball. An NL 1B might have someone in his way a couple times a decade.
-
This forum would turn on JBJ in about two weeks. He’s a left-handed Pillar who looks lost at the plate for months at a time, and there was a jubilant reaction when Pillar was traded for salary relief. It’s actually weird that we see JBJ offered as a target daily and no mentions whatsoever of Pillar.
-
Yup. Their roster would have looked something like: C - Contreras 1B - Rizzo 2B - Hoerner 3B - Bryant SS - Baez LF - CF - Happ RF - Heyward Darvish Hendricks Alzolay Throwing up your hands and punting when you have that core is crazy. It's a good team! They won their division last year and probably would have been the favourite to do it again if they'd just picked up a bit of OF depth and a cheap starter or two to throw out there behind Darvish and Hendricks.
-
The Cubs don't really even have much on the books in terms of long term bad contracts. They owe Kimbrel 17M this year which looks like a sunk cost, and owe Heyward 65M over the next three years. Their franchise crippling mistakes were Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres. But they didn't even have to be bad next year. They're just kind of weirdly throwing in the towel.

Kluber gets 1/11 from the Yankees. I bet he gives them a nice season.
-
He was waived by TB and put on the restricted list for a game. What are the rules on that? Did I break a rule by moving down?
-
I wouldn't have hated it if Toronto gave Lemahieu the deal he got. I don't hate it for the Yankees. It's like the Ryu deal - it's probably not going to be a $/WAR success story, but it doesn't have to be. I just don't think it's particularly team-friendly for NY.
-
FWIW, I wouldn't have said JD's contract was team friendly either. 92M is a lot of money for a 34-year old with chronic calf issues, regardless of how good he is when he's able to play.
-
It's funny because Ottawa is f***ing terrible.
-
Nobody actually wants more than like 2 years of him. This contract might as well be 4 or 5/90 with some money deferred, because he's probably not playing for the Yankees by the end of the deal.
-
MLBTR projected him to get 4/68 at the start of the offseason. Median FG crowdsource was 3/45 (lol). He only got 24M two years and less than 900 PA ago. I know he's been outstanding the last 1.3 seasons, but this is a guy who sucked at hitting for almost 4000 PA before 2019. I don't think it's obvious that the Yankees are happy about this deal 2 years from now.
-
I don't understand why everyone seems to think the Yankees got a deal on LeMahieu. He's 32 years old and just got a 90M guarantee.
-
The jerseys associated with the logo in my av are the GOAT.
-
Canucks are going to make it 2-0 tonight!
-
I think I'm going to greatly enjoy the Canadian division.

Came here to post this lol. They're awful.

WTF 12.5M guarantee for Baez
-
f*** yes.
-
Walker is an unsexy inning eater back end starter who doesn't eat innings. If we're targeting that caliber of arm I'd rather have Quintana, Happ, or Waino on 1-year deals. Hell, Brett Anderson probably gets like 4M on a 1-year deal and he's basically Walker when it comes to results and reliability.
-
I'm not convinced that Walker does anything to help the team in 2021. Would much rather pay Brad Hand $10M and roll the dice that his arm isn't mush.
