Norris + Travis + Pompey + is pretty terrible. But, after d'Arnaud + Syndergaard for Dickey, nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
-
Well it's like a 30 second drive and Wilson is actually closer to the 401, lol. And it definitely is like a five minute trip once the train gets moving. The subways take like ten minutes to go South after stopping at Downsview though.
-
I don't get why anyone would do this. The daily parking rate at Downsview station is like $2 to $4, and it's free on weekends.
-
Disappointed but not surprised. Pretty sure it was fan balloted. Tony Fernandez gets no respect
-
Right, but when a guy is a super Ace you don't really care how he gets it done
-
Ross is good but he has some of the worst SP mechanics out there, and he's like 80% sliders. He's a level 10 injury risk.
-
You have to get pretty lucky to find a taker though. Also, the Marlins lost a lot of goodwill with the public and potential free agents after the big trade, and the same will happen to SDP to an extent if they move Shields less than a year after convincing him to move his life to San Diego.
-
more or less. Reyes wouldn't have to go to SDP though - he could be dumped on whatever team wants his contract (or most of it). But Toronto probably needs to shed his $$ in order to fit Shields into the budgetary picture this year. And then you replace him with a sneaky value guy like Ruben Tejada, who is a RHB that could platoon with Goins, or a "free" vet like Rollins.
-
Another interesting option - take on Jimmy Rollins' contract for the rest of the year (lets LAD promote Seager). Maybe we're overreacting about Reyes though. He was worth 3.4 WAR last year and neither the offensive peripherals nor the defensive skills seem to have changed.
-
Cheap option is Ruben Tejada. Wilmer Flores has emerged a bit for New York. In the race and desperate for offense, maybe they'd move Tejada for Valencia (same control and cost; Valencia covers for Wright and lets Murphy play 2B).
-
Just in terms of contract size. He basically has a FA size deal. Reyes is owed $66M for 3 years after this one. His projected skill per 150 games is about 2.6 fWAR. Shields is owed almost the same as Reyes - 3/$65M. Option for the fourth year. His projected skill per 30 GS is a little over 3.0 fWAR. Kimbrel: 2.0 fWAR per 60 innings. Owed $11M and $13M in the next two years. The Blue Jays probably have to do something like including Reyes in a deal if they want the payroll to work this year. Reyes is roughly a non-asset, by about $10M. Shields arguably is an asset, by the same number. Kimbrel is worth ~$6M. The gap then is ~$26M in value. Round up to 30M for deadline premium. Which package of Jays prospects is worth about 30M dollars? Can Sanchez be the headliner? (lol).
-
I dunno man. I think most owners in this league would take the younger guy. Moore can still throw as hard as he did in 2013, when he was frustrating but effective (and above league average by FIP).
-
Verlander, Kennedy, Miley... actually that might be it.
-
Half the league got a Matt Moore offer from me. He's come back from TJS like a wet fart and I can't have the necessary patience with him this year.
-
I'm banking on a skill change. His pitch usage is different, and sort of interesting. Also, I wanted off of the SS Moore fast, and TCA never trades unless you make him a strong offer. I actually offered Moore straight up for Miley, but thehurl felt like twiddling his thumbs.
-
yeaaaa buddy
-
holy f***, really going out on a limb. Answer this question: In the DDL, Wade Miley is: An SP3 An SP4 An SP5 An SP6 An SP7/8 Streamer option only
-
I'm hearing Hoffman to AA. Working to confirm.
-
Good IRL or good in a 20 team league? His ERA and xFIP suck and his K/BB is under 2...
-
I'm not really that interested so the offer might be off the table now
-
Ok.
-
Getting Sheilds + Kimbrel would be similar to the Marlins deal, where the team spends prospects in order to acquire free agent contracts. Shields would be the team's new Buehrle! Good, old, expensive.
-
wow. Joc.
-
ok, new format can stay 100%
-
Griffin EVISCERATED Matt Boyd. Richard Griffin @RGriffinStar This new format is great. Rizzo hit 7 HR in 5 minutes. Matt Boyd says "that's nothing." Now is @BringerOfRain20
