    Bregman +4 WAR Alonso +3 WAR - 2 WAR from shifting Vlad to 3B

    Then you again are missing the business aspect. Multiple teams, not just the Jays, have indicated more payroll is available when the team is a contender. Ergo, a Sasaki signing increases available payroll.

    Springer probably ends up below average defensively this year. An all world duo of Gimenez and Varsho surrounded by butchers. Edit - well damn I had no idea Springers numbers are that bad.

    An 80 grade on Sasaki's splitter. It's very very rare to see an 80 on a pitch.
  5. Jimcanuck
    It's a problem only in the context of team building. Not knowing whether a player is going to stay or f*** off makes the job of a FO more difficult

    You are missing plenty. No one is arguing against signing Sasaki, least of all me. My theory is that since the Jays are up against the luxury tax threshold, other significant signings ($$) will only occur if Sasaki is signed. Ownership has always said more money is available if the Jays are fielding a contender. Which a Sasaki signing would do.

    You seem to be missing that MLB is a business first and foremost.
  8. Jimcanuck
    Who is better defensively at 3B, Vlad or Vientos? It's probably Vlad lol
  9. Jimcanuck
    He gets paid league minimum but that's not the point. MLB is a business. Shatkins are on a 1 yr deal, ownership likely has a tighter leash then before. Any major investments like a Bregman probably have to be justified or no dice.
  10. Jimcanuck
    Wow, s*** is getting real
  11. Jimcanuck
    I don't think ownership would permit getting into luxury tax territory unless it is warranted, and Sasaki would warrant it. They were willing to go way over for Ohtani and Soto. Likely see Sasaki as a similar high profile get. Sasaki or bust!
  12. Jimcanuck
    I'm not certain about anything. This is all speculation / spitballing / trolling / getting paid to bring traffic to the website.
  13. Jimcanuck
    What's his name owner of the Mets sees Vlad as >>> Alonso
  14. Jimcanuck
    We know the FO needed ownership permission to make offers to Ohtani and Soto. Is 200M for Bregman in the same vein. And did ownership make permission conditional on Sasaki signing? Giving the Jays a real shot at a highly successful season? Does Bregman have standing offers and waiting on Sasaki decision? Who knows?
  15. Jimcanuck
    What you are missing is this is all speculation / spitballing / trolling.
  16. Jimcanuck
    The way i see it, if the Jays sign Alonso, vlad gets moved to the Mets for a haul
  17. Jimcanuck
    Wow. So many irons in the fire. It will be hilarious if nothing comes from any of this.
  18. Jimcanuck
    Should be titled "Way Too Early Blue Jays Predictions".
  19. Jimcanuck
    Soon we will be hearing Sasaki is on a flight to TO!
  20. Jimcanuck
    Cmon man. Luxury tax? Jays are certain to get Bregman if they land sasaki. And try to stay under the threshold On the flip side, if they don't get Sasaki, there is no Bregman and no Vlad extension / he gets traded
  21. Jimcanuck
    The reason for the relative lack of off-season activity soon to be apparent. Roki!
  22. Jimcanuck
    Why would they be laughing stock?
  23. Jimcanuck
    I'm reading that the Jays take the UP Express. Its faster and much more comfortable, so would make sense.
  24. Jimcanuck
    But the Rangers or Cubs don't have those connections. Just like when any of us buy a home, Sasaki is considering many different factors. If he has an earthquake phobia, that would be just one of them. As Term notes, the money is essentially the same, so it comes down to various intangible factors.

    Many professional sports players take public transit. Nylander for example regularly takes the subway.
