    Yeah I like it. Minus Chapman. Probably end up going the trade route. Also might think about putting Bellinger in RF and moving Springer to LF depending on who has the better arm.
  2. Stangstag
    Yeah the FA crop this year isn’t exciting at all.
  3. Stangstag
    Great timing dude. We had the s*** kicked out of us. Mentally draining couple days
  4. Stangstag
    Friday/Saturday was a great time to be busy doing other things to avoid the shitstorm
  5. Stangstag
    Im saying that this will definitely cause issues in the next CBA negotiations. This shouldn’t be allowed
  6. Stangstag
    Have you read the CBA?

    The calculated luxury tax hit should be based on the FULL contract amount. Ohtani did not sign for 550 million, he signed for 700 million.
  8. Stangstag
    Thanks for stating what I was too frustrated to put into words. The luxury tax exists as a competitive balance measure for the sport. Idgaf how real world accounting works, thats not the point.
  9. Stangstag
    Bassitt too
  10. Stangstag
    You can easily argue they overpaid for Springer. And Ryu.
  11. Stangstag
    Interesting insight, thanks. Makes sense.
  12. Stangstag
    Right. End of the day I don’t give a s*** who we add, so long as the roster is better and they actually do something in the playoffs. I’d be 100% on-board with trading away the entire roster to get younger if it meant we still sneak into the playoffs. I just want a good team.
  13. Stangstag
    I agree. Still sucks we missed out on Ohtani. Would have been such a thrill to sign literally THE top guy in the sport. But I have no doubt we’ll still sign someone big for 100+ million this year. Just seems we can never get those S-tier free agents. We have been able to get some of the A-tier guys like Gausman and Springer though
  14. Stangstag
    Yeah feels like they have to go big somewhere now. Yamamoto or Bellinger. Plus im pretty confident they’ll swing a big trade with Tiedemann going the other way.
  15. Stangstag
    Time to hang up the badge forever forever. Mods should lock and nuke this thread
  16. Stangstag
    By all accounts, seems like the Jays were literally hours away from winning the Ohtani sweepstakes. At the 5 yard line, but the Dodgers came in last minute with that huge overpay. f***ing frustrating. I’ll feel better if we can make a deep playoff run though.
  17. Stangstag
    Seems the Jays are consistently considered favorites to win the division and/or top 5 to win it all, and they massively underperform every single year. s*** gets tiring
  18. Stangstag
    Bellinger, Hoskins/Soler/Pederson for DH, trade for a 3B, sign starting depth. That’s the offseason
  19. Stangstag
    That’s a pretty big loophole if true, and completely goes against the whole point of the luxury tax
  20. Stangstag
    Nah he was leaning Dodgers all along, we would have needed to top their offer to have a shot. And even then, Dodgers might have been willing to go up to 800 and beyond.
  21. Stangstag
    It doesn’t lower the luxury tax
  22. Stangstag
    Agreed dude, it sucks
  23. Stangstag
    I think we’ll go for Bellinger for LF/RF. Provides backup for 1B in case Vlad leaves. And then maybe a trade for 3B somewhere. Really worried about Belly’s bat though
  24. Stangstag
    Its is. It counts towards luxury tax. But in reality, Dodgers aren’t paying 250 mil + the tax. They’re paying like 150 mil + the tax.
  25. Stangstag
    Yup makes sense.
