    Thankfully Bauer won't get a ring.

    Never said AA is not a good GM. I said No in response to the question, do I miss him?

    This has been the case in the public sphere since the dawn of humans. Thankfully in Canada (and the US too) the legal bar is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/10/jon-gray-has-reportedly-rejected-extension-offer-from-rockies.html There’s been reported mutual interest between the Rox and Gray in a long-term deal for months, but the sides have yet to line up on acceptable terms. Saunders suggests the right-hander could target a three or four-year deal with an average annual value in the $9-10MM range on the open market. Whether that kind of deal would be attainable could depend upon whether the Rockies tag Gray with a qualifying offer. Doing so would entitle the Rockies to draft pick compensation were he to sign elsewhere, although he’d be a strong candidate to accept an $18.4MM offer to return in 2022. Very similar numbers situation to Matz.

    Signing players to team friendly contracts.
  6. Jimcanuck
    No. The Braves core was formed by the previous GM during the team's rebuild, and the team was expected to become very good before AA arrived.
  7. Jimcanuck
    FYI, offseason starts when the world series ends.

    So Buehler on short rest, and the Dodgers are going to hope for a game 7 and Scherzer agrees to take the ball. Hard to believe the Dodgers deep and talented starting pitching is in tatters.

    It's a non-story, no one should care.

    That market valuation may or may not be accurate, I think it's a fair bit lower than what he would get. 3/30 is essentially the equivalent of 2/25 or 1/16, roughly. Not a big gap remains to the QO and see Havok's post above. The decision could go either way, and either is justifiable. For various reasons other than purely monetary, I think they offer the QO.

    No. Kelly was dropped off, Price added.
  12. Jimcanuck
    So who they got, Price?
  13. Jimcanuck
    damn i must be watching a delayed feed * fixed
  14. Jimcanuck
    thru 4
  15. Jimcanuck
    2nd and 3rd none out, again
  16. Jimcanuck
    I made an oops, last night was not a WS game. There are 11 players that have done it in a playoff game. Most recent Kike in 2017.
  17. Jimcanuck
    Looked up other 3 HR world series games. Others are Babe Ruth (twice), Pujols, Reggie Jackson, and, ahem, Panda. Jackson hit his 3 on 3 consecutive pitches from 3 different pitchers. Crazy.
  18. Jimcanuck
    And I expect the Jays to sign at least one of them, but for the calibre of pitcher they will be pursuing, it will be a multi year deal. Balancing that with Matz on a 1 year deal is nice risk management. There will be another pool of FA pitchers next year.
  19. Jimcanuck
    He had injury issues in 2017, so let's set that year aside. 2018 to 2020 his xFIP was 4.13, 4.33, 4.15. His 2021 xFIP 3.94, an improvement on the previous 3. The Mets have long had an astrocious infield defence, regularly throwing JD Davis at 3B, old Cano at 2B, Dom Smith at 1B. And I am aware FI stands for fielding independent, but no stat is 100% accurate and I kind of doubt the formula works very well for that Mets infield. We've seen other pitchers take it to another level later in their careers. Whatever the reasons, looking at the numbers and the improvement after leaving the Mets, a Matz QO is a reasonable proposition.

    Labelling a girl / woman a s*** or w**** gets them killed in many countries, and in Canada has led to many suicides. Because of the derogatory / degrading nature of the terms.
  21. Jimcanuck
    Huh? It's fine to have a different opinion, but not to state falsehoods about / slander another poster.
  22. Jimcanuck
    hot damn!
  23. Jimcanuck
    Mad Max will be pumped up.
  24. Jimcanuck
    Who is lined up to start for the Dodgers on Sat?
  25. Jimcanuck
    Gotta give Matz the QO. 1/18 is fine for his services. In this SP market, it's pretty good actually. We should all hope he accepts.
