    Romano will be non-tendered if the arm issues progress to the point where he needs TJS. Which at this point is probably at least even odds. They'll have to be pretty convinced that he's healthy to throw 10M or whatever at him via arb for his last year of team control. I think Swanson will have to shove a bit down the stretch to show that he's worth 3.5-4M for his last arb year. Little might not suck, but I don't think there's much chance he's actually good either. Maybe he carves out a niche as like the 7th guy in the pen for a couple of years. It's pretty dire. I'm not sure I could name more than 2-3 teams that have less talent in their bullpen heading into 2025.

    I know that Pearson sucks, but I'm having a really hard time buying the "we're going to compete in 2025" nonsense. Aside from multiple impact bats and at least two starters they're going to need an entire bullpen. What to they have going into 2025? Green - might be traded Cabrera - should be non-tendered Swanson - should be non-tendered Romano - should maybe be non-tendered Pop - sucks Little - sucks Like, it's going to require significant investment to get that to the caliber of a contending team. In addition to all of the other improvements they have to make. It's insulting to keep telling fans that they want to win next year.

    It's unbelievable how bad everything has gone. Complete disaster. The fan apathy when Ross is retained through the offseason is going to be hilarious

    Drew Thorpe down 7-0 to the Mariners in the 1st. Dude sucks
  6. BTS
    It's insane how basically every player the team would reasonably be interesting in trading has either been injured or dogshit over the last month.

    Dipoto is kind of an idiot. No reason not to keep Stanek as the 4th or 5th arm in the bullpen for the playoff run. Especially with all of Munoz, Garcia, and Santos having health issues this year.

    I think everyone was a bit surprised with the 3/16 contract. But it ended up being tidy business: 157 IP of 3.44 ERA ball, 2.9 WPA and 2.7 fWAR. Then traded with no $ retained for a couple of prospects.

    Honestly, if they're eating his entire contract that's enough

    What are the odds he throws like 10 innings and then misses the rest of the year? like 40%? He kind of tanked his value. As have Bichette, Kikuchi, Richards, and Green.

    Yimi is a pending FA and is just off the IL with elbow pain. I'm actually surprised they got Clase for him

    Weird trade, in that all of those guys suck

    I think Atkins would not trade Vlad unless he's getting one of their MLB starters - he's going to make moves with half an eye on 2025. But something like Woo/Montes/Celesten (and $300M to spend on other s***) would be interesting.

    yes plz

    I checked who owned him earlier. Very disappointed to learn he isn't still a Red Sox in LoD

    I feel like Arozarena is going to flame out in Seattle. Safeco destroys RH hitters. He also can't defend and runs the bases like an absolute dipshit.
  18. BTS
    It's cool that basically every player the team is likely looking to trade has completely nuked their trade value.

    Dylan Cease taking a no-hitter into the 9th

    If Ross is back in 2025 I’m moving firmly into the Fire Shapiro camp. Ross as been on the job almost a decade. The team is a luxury tax team 9 games under 0.500 with a league worst farm system. It’s completely unacceptable.
  22. BTS
    Did you ever have a record over 0.500 in BORED?

    Very surprised at how many of you are fine throwing 250-300M at a fat defensive butcher 1B with a career 132 wRC+. He'll be 27 when the extension kicks in. This type of contract, for this type of player, has typically been a sunk cost by like the first third of the deal. I could see if we had reason to believe he was going to be more of a 150-160 wRC+ guy over at least the first half of the deal, but he hasn't been that player and doesn't project to be. Very Blue Jays to get tunnel vision on this one guy instead of focusing on what else competent management (fingers crossed) could do with 300M.
  25. BTS
    If he’s a 160 wRC+ bat going forward that’s a special hitter and someone you want to lock up. The problem is that his career average, 2024 season, and projections are all in the 140 range. He’s a good, useful player at that level, but not irreplaceable. I’d give him Matt Olson or Freddie Freeman money - paying him like he’s a 3-win player or so with a bit of upside to beat that. Everything I’ve heard seems to indicate that he’s looking for something like twice that though. That has disaster written all over it.
