    I will never forget Bad Vlad. Probably the most frustrating player in Jays history.

    "The source tells me that it will be a big surprise if Sasaki goes to Toronto." Yeah we all could have told you this, reporter guy. Not really news lol.

    It's kind of hilarious isn't it
  4. Laika
    Sasaki day today? Maybe?
  5. Laika
    Yeah it's not much of a negotiation, probably. Just mild position shifting but mostly hoping the other side caves.

    He is a very similar total package to Teoscar, just a bit younger. Same AAV more years...

    Can't believe the Jays are going to do this. Finally. They get the Japanese guy.

    Left Field Vlad! Bit of a Manny being Manny situation. I have always wanted to see him in the outfield.

    Pete + Taters + that asian kid Sasuke

    Maybe something as pathetic as the Teoscar contract with an opt out after year 1. Wouldn't that be nice.

    I bought a random pack of 2021 Topps cards today and got a chrome Pete Alonso It's a sign!

    Uncle Tetsu c'mon guys have you even had the cheesecake
  15. Laika
    Well well well, let me tell you something about Vlad...
  16. Laika
    it turns out that bullpens are easy to make!
  17. Laika
    yes I did that on purpose

    Even if you can't get Vientos, the Mets have a lot of prospects that are intriguing and would probably be available for various reasons (mainly because they were hurt or didn't perform well in 2024). Like, take your pick out of Jett, Mauricio, Benge, Drew Gilbert, Jeremy Rodriguez, Christian Scott, Sproat, Tidwell, Hamel, Ryan Clifford, Nolan McLean. Could definitely get a bulk package lol.

    The slurplus value will be franchise altering
  20. Laika
    holy f***

    They haven't made a good transaction in years. Every trade sucks. Every signing sucks.

    And the projection systems seem to all agree. STEAMER - .307 wOBA ZiPS - .309 wOBA OOPSY - .312 wOBA I think coming into his age 28 season all of these would still be projecting some positive growth but from 2026 on the opposite will be true. Pulled flyballs are kind of the best thing you can do if you have any power whatsoever. OOPSY is some new system that uses bat speed and other fancy new s***. For all of Varsho's flaws, he does have bat speed. #3 on the team behind Vlad and Barger. It does help him make contact sometimes even when he is fooled (which is why his plate discipline stats are a bit better than he "looks" as a hitter) and of course it helps him murder a baseball once a week.

    Yeah but they can just sign new ones. The total MLB budget for IFAs is not changing, so it's just musical chairs for the most part.
  24. Laika
    It is hard to imagine that there is anything else there at this point. It does not seem like he has the physical hitting tools to be better on offense. He might be able to squeeze a few more wOBA points out of his skillset with minor changes... maybe. But hitting just looks "hard" for him all the time. A lot of his walks come from being passive and getting lucky, for example, and not really from having a good eye (IMO). A lot of people are mad he isn't as good or better than he was in Arizona but with his swiss cheese swing and mediocre eye, I wonder if we should just be happy that he's a league average (ish) hitter still?

    Pete Walker! Maybe they flew in Daulton Varsho and he put on a little show shagging flyballs
