Whats your plan
-
Clement is good with the glove, no doubt, and it would be missed. His bat is below average and projected to continue to be. He BABIP'ed his way to great postseason numbers. Alcantara >>> Clement.
-
New strategy Sell high on Clement + lottery ticket(s) for Alcantara ($11.2M AAV through 2027) Sign Bo to play 2B (8/240, $30M AAV)) Sign Helsley (4/70, $17.5M AAV) Springer DH Barger 3B Vlad 1B Bo 2B Kirk C Varsho CF Santander RF Lukes / Schneider LF Gimenez SS Gausman Alcantara Yesavage Bieber Berrios Helsley Hoffman Yimi Varland Fisher ???

LOL 94 mph heat you know LIDOM is somewhere between AA and AAA, right?
-
Seems the asexual type

MLB's player manipulation rules have bit the A's hard in the ass. Kurtz wins ROY, and is credited with a full year of service as a reward. Because they called him up on April 23 and he had some injury time, he was 13 days short of PPI eligibility. A's get no reward pick.
-
Based on a $50M budget, Bregman ($27M) and Suarez ($23M). I don't think Bo will age well at all. An IF of Vlad, Clement, Gimenez, and Bregman is elite defensively. Suarez is a groundball pitcher. -
Lol Hitters will adjust. He will be good no doubt, if he stays healthy. But he will have his struggles especially after Hitters make the adjustment.
-
So the Marlins will want prospects. Nimmala and another say Juan Sanchez probably gets Alcantara. Now you still have the balance of the money that you would have used for Cease, to spend on upgrades elsewhere. End result, a far better 2026 Jays team.
-
Coming back from TJS, Alcantara performed just slightly below Cease in the 2nd half of 2025. It's very possible he outperforms Cease in 2026. Thanks.
-
Huh? Do you know who Sandy Alcantara is?
-
Yes, but the Fish will move Alcantara and Cabrera before White and Snelling. Jays would be smart to go after Alcantara
-
No they definitely would not.
-
Kinda referred to Bo in the past tense but I wouldn't read anything into it. Im just f***ing around like Laika
-
Based on Shapiro comments at today's presser, Bo jerseys have devalued.
-
Nah. WAR is WAR regardless of where you get it.
-
Of course I have. I've also heard of spending available money wisely.
-
F**king Preller. James Wood, MacKenzie Gore, Cj Abrams, and Susana close to MLB with ace calibre stuff. What a gift for the Nats.
-
Jays have cost controlled guys that can cover 2B. Signing Bo and relegating them to the bench isn't optimal. Blue Jays have higher priority needs than a 2B.
-
Lauer does not have options. Little (1), Fluharty (2), Fisher (3), Varland (1) have options. Likely at least two of them are in Buffalo at the start of the season.

Agreed, him or Keller as another high leverage guy would be ideal. According to Spotrac, Jays committ for 2026 is $193.0M, and the projected is $226.8M. The 2025 total adjusted payroll was $255.2M. Here are Clemens projections: Rogers, 2/$22M Keller, 2/$24M Bichette, 7/$203M ($29M AAV) Bregman, 4/$140M ($35M AAV) If the Jays sign Rogers and Bichette, the committ goes to $233M, exceeding the Spotrac projection. Using the 2025 payroll gives $22M but teams typically leave wiggle room for in-season acquisitions. So let's say after signing Rogers and Bichette, the team has $15M left to spend. There would be no room for the Valdez, Cease, Suarez of the world. Maybe Bichette agrees to deferrals to reduce his AAV by 5-7% or whatever it is. I'm not even sure signing Bichette is in the team's best interest, TBH. Team already has 2B covered by cost controlled guys.

For comparison, 2025 and career xFIP- for top FA pitchers. Listed by 2025 value: Valdez, 79, 79 Woodruff, 79, 78 Cease, 86, 91 Suarez, 88, 88 Bassitt, 92, 99 Kelly, 92, 96 Gallen, 99, 88 (Berrios 106, 99) King, 102, 88 Littell, 104, 102 Eflin 105, 95 Kelly and Bassitt will both be 37 yrs old at season start. The guys around 100 basically were average, pitching like a #3 or #4 SP.
-
Thanks!
-
Cease home and away xFIP 3.29 and 3.84 Petco being a pitcher's park, can expect Cease to run an xFIP just under 4.00 with a move to Toronto and ALE. Interesting that 9 of the top 15 hitter's parks are in the NL. Anyone know where we can see xFIP-, which is adjusted for park and league?
-
Maybe LAA will take on Santander's contract, and send back something useful even. :)
