FTD. Drummond clowned on me in week 1

Also the Yankees. The Rays never really rebuild and would probably have won 85+ games every year for the last 12 years with a 130M payroll. The Dodgers have been over 0.500 like 18 of the last 20 years. Feels like the Cubs and Astros won’t be under 0.500 for a very long time, but we’ll see.

I just added him to your roster.

Reds picked up Galvees’ option

I don’t necessarily think you need vetrin presents to win, I just think veterans have become a reasonable way to add talent. I do think njh is right and it’s wishful thinking on my end that aspects of Washington’s win would be instructive for other teams. I respect the Nats for being willing to throw money at roster holes, and don’t enjoy the current free agent climate. I just like that they had success and a team like Cleveland that had a disgraceful offseason wasted a year of their rapidly-closing window. They could have punted the season like a lot of other teams, because their roster had real holes, but they actually tried to be good and it paid off.

I like that they won as the oldest team in baseball. They went out in the offseason and brought in old guys making a few million instead of giving the spots to league min rookies: Kendrick, Suzuki, Dozier, Sanchez, Asdrubal in July, and obviously they paid big money for Corbin too. They don't win the World Series (or even make the playoffs) if they do what most other teams did and refuse to pay money for veterans that that have a higher floor than a league min AAA guy. Maybe free agency will be a bit more interesting this year. If things continue as they have, we might see more teams win with a high average age, as the teams that pounce on cheap veterans end up picking up significant wins on the back half of their roster.

Buddy Boshers and Brock Stewart outrighted

J4L19, your thoughts on Nikita Gusev being one of the worst players in the NHL, getting 12 minutes a night, and now being a healthy scratch on a terrible team?
-
Jays DFA'd Dull and claimed Anthony Bass on waivers. Bass is out of options, and was actually serviceable this year. Wouldn't be surprising to see him stick through the offseason.

Yeah, EZe has been a great addition to BORED.

Team Available in Bringer of Rain Elite Dynasty
BTS replied to Pendleton's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Gonna lock this one up now that Carlos Danger is in the fold. League thread is here: https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/5904-Bringer-of-Rain-Elite-Dynasty-bjmbleagues-com -
One of them posted a letter from MLB banning them from all MLB parks for life.

God bless the great people of Washington

Christ almighty that looks stupid

This is why I don't understand the people who say things like "Rogers will never pay for a top free agent". As far as I'm aware, Rogers would typically dictate total expenditures and let the particulars be dictated by baseball ops. We have to assume payroll will eventually be back in the 160 range, and the team can absolutely afford a 30M arm with a 160M payroll. Washington is in that payroll range right now and they're rostering three elite arms on free agent contracts. I don't think Rogers would be an impediment to signing Gerrit Cole.
-
BTW I just set max weekly adds at 5. I'm assuming the lack of limit was just an omission.

He is not a likeable person at all.
-
There isn't a single ace available next offseason (depending on what you think of Bauer and Paxton). The time is now to take a run at Cole or Strasburg. It's one thing if they don't want to come here, but the idea that we shouldn't sign an ace because contention is more likely in 2021 than 2020 would be defeatist, weak leadership.
-
Well, we all expect the Jays to sign a couple of Tanner Roarks and a few cheap relievers and lose 90 games next year, so this article isn't really surprising. Too passive.

ALCS Series GDT - New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros
BTS replied to Orgfiller's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Surely this pound of flesh will improve the lives of the internet commentators who are in no way associated with the Astros, but still really, really wanted their AGM fired. -
I'm a pretty firm believer that no team should rely on pitching prospects. If you think you have the bats now, go out and get a rotation. If more than one of Pearson, Manoah, and SWR pan out, that's a bonus, but we shouldn't count on it because it's probably not going to happen.

ALCS Series GDT - New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros
BTS replied to Orgfiller's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Is anyone else having a hard time understanding the moral panic about this story? Apparently one of the reporters in the room tweets the domestic abuse hotline number every time Osuna pitches. I'm guessing some comments were made about the blown save, and the drunk AGM was annoyed, and emboldened enough to defend him in a brash way. Uncomfortable workplace interaction, but its a team employee stating that he's happy that a current Astro is a current Astro. This isn't a story.
