Yeah when I saw the Kimbrel-Os news I was pretty happy. $13M is a lot for them and they are using it on a guy who is volatile and liable to s*** the bed.

BREAKING: Yankees close to not signing Shohei Ohtani
-
I guess the plan for 2024 is force Judge to play CF so he gets hurt as soon as possible? I could still see Verdugo as part of the Soto trade, though. He has little value but helps SDP. Soto + Grisham for Verdugo + King + Thorpe ++

Yanks got pillaged in the R5 draft, losing 3 upper minors RP prospects. They all showed up on deep top prospect lists; Matt Sauer was 25 on MLB.com's NYY top 30 and Caron Coleman was on the Fangraphs NYY prospect list in March.

toaster oven -
absolutely not

They are trying to win now still and Michael King might be an SP2 or SP3. Might be exactly what they want. They could trade Soto and still make the playoffs, conceivably. It's not necessarily a rebuild style trade where they just want the 3 best prospects

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Laika replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Until last week nobody thought Toronto even had a puncher's chance at Ohtani And a Soto trade was almost a long shot given the pure number of teams who would bid -
King+ is a coup for the Padres but only if King stays healthy. That's a big question mark and that is baked into his trade value.
-
Would make sense He's not worth much but the Padres are still trying to win

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Laika replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Not much else that moves the needle, man Kendry Rojas, Connor Cooke, Barriera, Chad Dallas, Zulueta, Macko, Juenger, Dahian Santos, Landen Maroudis, Juaron Watts-Brown. I doubt they care about players like this unless they are the 4th piece. -
not legit at all

I am so bored Please pretty please, some big news this evening I don't care what it is or what team it is

"After droves of secrecy and anonymous reporting about secret meetings between Shohei Ohtani and various suitors, Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts refreshingly came right out and told reporters that his club recently hosted Ohtani for a visit at Dodgers Stadium (link via Jack Harris of the L.A. Times). Roberts added that Ohtani is “clearly our top priority.” Asked why he was so direct when other clubs have gone to great measures to conceal their efforts to negotiate with Ohtani, Roberts replied (via MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince): “I don’t feel like lying is something I do. I was asked a question. … It’s going to come out at some point.” Imagine if this insulted Ohtani so he stopped talking to the Dodgers

s***** MLB level prospects or young players: Austin Wells, Everson Periera, Estavan Florial, Oswald Peraza, Oswaldo Cabrera. I doubt any of those bats profile as first division starters, but some team might value them while they are cheap. King and Schmidt. Several controllable RP with value. Trey Sweeney, Roderick Arias, Spencer Jones. Handful of prospect arms like Thorpe, Gil, Yoendrys Gomez, Will Warren.

lmao what does it mean to be "way ahead of the pack" on a free agent? are you outbidding yourself or something? proud to be overpaying? okay
-
okay but that's because NBA free agency happens in like 2 days there isn't even time to speculate
-
Sleepy start to the winter meetings Feels like everyone is waiting on Ohtani?
-
No leak Just reporters putting 2 and 2 together. It's rather obvious
-
How can he be a s***** reliever when he just held his own for 32 starts and 160 innings? At a minimum he's a GOOD reliever or really good swing-man.
-
Not really in Canada afaik but yeah they are elite tier
-
Yeah that's wild King looked so good at the end of last year that I bet the Yankees would be hesitant to trade him 1 for 1 for Soto Manoah and Schimdt are similar assets to be honest. Teams might prefer one or the other depending on what they think they can do with them.
-
Probably in Japan getting Ohtani's father's permission
-
can't wait for jaysblue to show up and misrepresent all of our arguments on chicken sandwiches, in as many words as humanly possible
-
DQ chicken sandwiches are worse than McD for sure
