What happened to "Meyers, the golden boy"
Can't believe that Tampa wants to trade him. Their offense is pretty bad already, especially after trading away Joyce.
Yeah I think part of this is just really bad luck. Guys like Snider, Arencibia, Romero, etc. just ended up flopping. They were all projected to be above-average all the way through AAA, but they all ended up sucking.
On the flip side, would he rather play in a place with beautiful beaches and weather, or a frozen winter hell?
Jk, but who knows what his agent is saying.
I would be very pleased if we could get him for 1 year, 3/4 million with a team option. Allows us a stopgap at 2B while Travis develops, and if Toritani ends up being good then we can pick up the option. Win win imo.
In terms of talent added, I think Boston has us beat this offseason. They added 2 great hitters and 3 pretty solid starters. Also Castillo (not an offseason signing though)
Now, when you factor contracts and value and stuff, it's undeniable that the Jays have had the best offseason so far.
Almost every homerun video i've watched of Smoak ended with the baseball deep in the outfield seats. I'm not looking at advanced stats, just going by eye. I could be wrong but he looks like he has crazy power.
