perfectly fine! not my money!
-
8*40 = 320 10*32 = 320 You could think about B as A with deferrals.
-
Ugh the Red Sox rotation + rotation depth is annoyingly good Outside looking in: all of Early, Tolle, Crawford, Harrison, Sandoval, Houck I guess they might trade Bello. Some rumours they wanted to.
-
91 poo in the AL East Dude's gonna age like Nestor Cortes
-
The annoying thing is that the Dodgers SHOULD. Their OF is kind of poo for a team that should be elite everywhere. LF and RF both project to be just average
-
Translation - Tucker is signing with Toronto but using the Mets to try and milk more money out of Rogers
-
Feels like teams were trying to hold the line on contracts for the big bats but are now panicking and looking at the next two free agency classes and we might see some silly numbers 4/$200 for Tucker 8/$240 for Bo 6/$180 for Belllinger stuff like that
-
Carlos are you okay
-
Why do you think this? Straw's contract is a drop in the bucket now. The Jays have a $300M payroll.
-
lol what
-
Nobody is going to want to pay Straw so you aren't saving money by cutting him. You could cut him for baseball reasons (he is your worst projected player) or asset retention reasons (he won't get claimed, so you can DFA him and outright him to AAA). I don't think they will really do that, since he is the only backup CF on the 40 man. Clase/Loperfido don't seem to have the skills or instincts. But they could outright him off the 40 temporarily as a sneaky asset retention thing and give him the business explanation of "this changes nothing it's just a procedural move, you probably still break camp with us"

Every solid group of super friends needs one or two *******s

Marlins are dumb
-
I don't think it's 3/$150. It might be $50M in 2026, then a player option for 2027 and 2028
-
Well it's just the Bregman thing on a bigger scale Bregman took $40M for a year from BOS and then got $155M present value this offseason, making his effective deal(s) 6/$195M combined. If Tucker is looking at 9/$35m AAV (315M) from Toronto and comparing that to 3/$47m AAV with opt outs from the Mets, it's right for him to think about it. He could take $50M from the Mets for 2026 and then just try to beat 8/$265M next offseason to be in the green. And he probably would unless he sucks or gets hurt.
-
If Tucker is $45m AAV on a short deal with opt outs, he's probably $35m or so AAV in a longer term deal
-
Arenado for $5m and $6m is hilarious Just a funny sequence of events to see two teams pay so much money to get rid of Nolan Arenado, a borderline HOFer (or easy HOFer if you think the GGs carry the case, which they probably do).
-
I would say no, it's not normal to lie. There is a game to be played but most people who want a long career as a player agent would not be out there lying.
-
Kirk gonna have a 40+ WAR career all for Toronto isn't he
-
👀
-
He's sorta nuts to not take that offer at this point. Seems like every team believes they are only bidding against themselves at this point, for their choice remaining free agent. Boston got burned by that idea but it still may be true for Bellinger-NYY.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-zips-projections-toronto-blue-jays/ Jays 2026 ZiPS Vlad's #2 comp is Pujols Kirk's #1 comp is Yadi Okamoto's #1 comp is Kyle Seager Szymborski thinks the bats are fine and the Jays would benefit from a SP more than Tucker or Bo. Most interesting projection is probably just the bullpen and those comments:
-
Grant could not handle the emotions of the playoffs I'm not sure he even made it to the World Series, he might have deleted his account after one of the Bryce Miller games

George $24m Goose $23m Biebs $16m Varsho $10.75m Lauer $5m Straw $7.4m Yimi $7.5m Ideally Santander bounces back and looks like a decent DH candidate from 2027 on and Cease/Yesavage are entrenched as the SP1 and SP2 so there is no pressure to replace Gausman and Bieber with frontline SP Impossible to cheaply replace Varsho though And I will be sad boy if Springer has a full Nelson Cruz arm until 40 and some of it happens in a different uniform
