I don't want Santander, but teams don't usually pay sticker price for 2B defense WAR. I could see preferring Santander + Horwitz to Gimenez.
-
Seems like that ship has probably sailed. If they sign Burnes or Pivetta they're up over 251M in luxury tax hit. Would they go into the 260s?
-
Steamer600 Horwitz - 2.2 fWAR Gimenez - 3.0 fWAR I know Gimenez has that one monster season, and Toronto is probably projecting Gimenez to be a bit better than that, but a) I don't trust Toronto's evaluation of hitters, and We're talking about a $93M commitment for Gimenez while Horwitz will make the minimum for two more years. I really don't like this deal. We could have had: Horwitz Josh Rojas (~4M) Kirby Yates/David Robertson/some other good FA reliever (12M) $77M but instead we have Andres Gimenez
-
This is not a good deal
-
Nick Sandlin is a Guardian. Kenny should watch baseball.
-
I just hate the idea of paying sticker price for defense. I feel like good teams find those kinds of players for cheap. 15.2M is a big chunk of the available budget, and I'm not sure 2B defense should have been the priority. Maybe I'm misreading the market on someone like Josh Rojas, but I'm guessing he doesn't get more than IKF last year, costs nothing via trade, and probably puts up 2+ WAR if you run him out there every day.
-
Would be like paying Jose Caballero 15M a year for 5 years because he'll scratch 2-3 WAR across on 2B defense and baserunning if you give him 600 PA.
-
Cool, a slap-hitting 2B who's had an xwOBA under 0.300 3 of the last 4 years and has a 15M luxury tax hit.

Cole Fried Gil Rodon Schmidt Cortes Stroman Is pretty f***ing solid
-
Holy crap 8/218 for Fried. Burnes is getting 250M+
-
Jays bring back Yimi Garcia on 2 year, 15 million dollar deal
BTS replied to Terminator's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He was shut down in mid August with an elbow injury -
They think Happ, Bellinger, and PCA are good enough in the OF
-
Apparently Loaisiga to the Mets for 3/27? Atkins is probably panicking at this point. Just fixing the bullpen is going to be incredibly expensive.
-
Carson Kelly to the Cubs and Alex Cobb to the Tigers. We’re out of appealing C options.
-
On a good team, they'd probably slot in at like: 1. 2. 3. Green 4. 5. Swanson 6. Little 7. Burr 8. Rodriguez
-
Who cares about Jordan Romano? He's a 32-year old reliever who just missed like 80% of the year with an elbow issue that hasn't been repaired. You can give the same money to Chris Martin or something.
-
Crowdsourced Fangraphs projection was 1/8 lol. Top guys like Scott, Estevez and Hoffman are going to be close to 40M probably. This is the place to wait and try to nab guys like Martin, Sewald, Romano, Yates, Robertson on 1-year deals.
-
Yankees biggest holes are 3B, OF and SP. We'll be bidding against a humbled Yankees team on guys like Bregman, Teo, and Burnes/Fried.
-
Soto even got an opt-out after 5 years. Has a team ever been bent over this thoroughly?
-
Teo and Santander are both going to easily clear 100M now as the other teams scramble. Profar could get 80.
-
Holy f***ing s***
-
Not even just the 1 mediocre season. His last really good season was the short 2020 season. Conforto is such a limited player. Really bad defender even on a corner spot. Below-average runner. Has to sit against tough lefties. Doesn't mash righties like Pederson who has a similar skill set.
-
So the list of viable everyday corner OFs is down to: Soto Santander Hernandez Profar
-
Holy crap. 17M for Conforto?
