    So what? Prince enforcing is good. Sometimes you actually get the guy at a price you would want to pay, if the other team unexpectedly bows out or if nobody else wants to pay fair $. It's not like they LOSE anything if/when he eventually signs with the Dodgers. Just a bit of time and attention. But it's OHTANI you have to give it the ol' college try if there is any chance at all.

    Kind of smells like the Jays signing Tanner Roark in 2019-2020 offseason. A demonstrated willingness to begin spending, so a good sign generally, but not necessarily a good use of money. Of course Toronto also signed Ryu that offseason and then made bigger moves in the following years. We will see if the Reds follow up these oatmeal signings with a more significant move, or maybe a bigger move next offseason. They should! But they probably won't because they are poor.

    I would assume bad internal projections on Suarez, they don't think he's even worth his $

    His career has not exactly been consistent. Good, bad, good, bad, bad, bad, good. But the most recent "good" even has a 4.57 xFIP. Jays probably should have just gone with the three years on Chad Green

    Yes.

    Well, it depends on what goes in there. On the cheap end, a tube of ground beef is like $6.99 then five cans of various beans and veggies is like $7 total. Then you need a bit of oil, seasonings, and broth or water. Some diced sweet potato or something, an onion. Maybe it's $20. A nice chili with decent quality stewing beef, maybe other meats, and you can get up there.

    I loved Wagner so this sucks. He was very good.

    can the blue jays do something
  9. Laika
    Yeah but you're still cooking, or least preparing food. Some people can't even carve a chicken properly. Chicken also gets pretty boring after a while. I could probably make a 10 meal chili for less than $15 and the entire process would involve nothing other than opening cans and browning some ground beef. Roast chickens must be loss leaders for some of these grocery stores Anyway, I love cooking so takeout prices being what they are is just a net positive for me. Less motivation to do the easy/unhealthy thing.

    the cost of fast food has become pretty f***ing wild.

    Brewers reportedly close to extending Chourio. Really interesting.
  13. Laika
    You definitely pay for quality and not quantity at chik fil a. Still awesome though.

    Legendary. The perfect way for CP to end his career.

    Soto makes almost any outfield scary but yeah that would be dope. Even if you ignore Dominguez and insert some ransom CF placeholder like KK, dope OF. Soto-Judge would be the best 3/4 in the league, maybe? The Yanks would still need to add on the infield though.

    I dunno man. Their lineup is pretty gross. Everyone is either old or bad. Some of them are old AND bad. Even Judge is 31 now. Stanton and Rizzo are 34 and sucked. DJM is cooked. They should regress in the right direction on the pitching side... ... but the tough division is only going to get harder as Boston rebuilds, Baltimore cements itself for a 5 year window, and TB / TOR keep pushing forward.

    Horrible deal lmao

    They aren't probably HAPPY with it but he's a pretty flawed hitter if being compared to elite 1B/DH types. Like, his K and BB rates and MaxEV are not juicy at all. So they can't hope for too much, it would be unrealistic.
  19. Laika
    I think they'd settle for 2023 Torkelson + a few more singles

    Rotation is much better than in recent years but Olson and Gipson-Long are still ideally a team's #5 and #6 SP. So Detroit needs two more arms to be serious. I guess they still have Mize and Manning as wild card young guys... and Faedo? Jackson Jobe, Wilmer Flores. Actually, nvm that's pretty good lol
  21. Laika
    There are lots of variables in numbers like this You'd have to break it down by like, the TYPE of pitcher that has to do multiple disengagements, the type of runner that will only chance it with an 11 foot lead, etc. Like, in the third bucket you could have slower runners choosing to attempt steals more often because they get a bigger lead. You also might only see pitchers in that bucket who have worse pickoff moves (guys with elite moves don't really need to do repeated disengagements...)

    younger and better!
  23. Laika
    this will work out
  24. Laika
    pretty interesting they must be making an earnest attempt I like how Toronto tends to do this even if most of the time they just up "price enforcing."
