    "if they are going to overpay him then he should take it" bloody genius!
  2. Laika
    so much better

    Sandoval was amazing. Dude was f***ing MASSIVE at times. I remember once with Boston he shed a bunch of weight and looked fit. It was exactly like when your fat buddy goes on a crash diet and drops 40 pounds. I think Sandoval had it back on and then some within 1 year. He was in the Mexican league ending careers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttqTgPt2SuU

    Of course he's better. What is your point, exactly? Why would Toronto offer Jansen 70% of the Murphy contract when Murphy is twice the player, and Kirk is already under control?
  5. Laika
    But why would Danny Jansen sign an extension? He has tons of talent but has always been handicapped by injuries. The contract he could get right now would be depressed by that track record. He is arb3 in 2024 which will be his age 29 season. If I am Jansen I am betting on myself and trying to have a huge year in 2024 before testing the market. I mean, if he can somehow stay healthy and play 120+ games that could be a 30 HR, 3+ WAR season... The Jays are under absolutely no pressure to extend Jansen. Kirk is under control for 3 more years after this and probably projects better anyway.

    Kikuchi saving the season
  7. Laika
    That's a real WTF trade
  8. Laika
    Kikuchi is going to throw 100 P in 5 innings and tomorrow some genius is going to complain that Schhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnieeeeeeder yanked him too early
  9. Laika
    Kikuchi is a HR machine and he has been his whole career. His FIP still sucks. He can't really be trusted to go deep. Sorry, Kooch.
  10. Laika
    It's not hard to understand, Carlie.
  11. Laika
    yeah but that's just Manoah nuking that. And Kikuchi, sort of.
  12. Laika
    Man, I dunno. I think this just comes from wanting to complain about something. It's hard to think of any/many games where Bassitt or Berrios may have been pulled too early. Most of the time they are nearing or over 100 pitches and they are not the type of guys you want to chance it with.
  13. Laika
    Espinal is a f***ing shortstop. He's not getting replaced at second base for defensive reasons because some defensive statistics don't like him this year, lol. He f***ed up but that's on the player.
  14. Laika
    Why was last night a manager loss? I didn't watch but it looks like Swanson just blew it or got unlucky.
  15. Laika
    Yeah Toronto's mid-long term financial/competitive outlook is not amazing. Lots of $$ tied up in aging pitchers. Lots of players getting more expensive in arbitration next year and the year after. Ownership can't just add payroll indefinitely...

    Atkins is a Chad. This is the man who has signed stars like George Springer and Kevin Gausman and traded for blue-chip deadline studs like Jose Berrios. Atkins is anything but gun-shy. He is not afraid of trading top prospects. He chases big ticket talent. Toronto probably doesn't get Ohtani for obvious reasons but put some damn respect on Atkins' name.

    baseball trade values says Joey Ortiz + Connor Norby + Heston Kjerstad = fair value best player in MLB history or not, he's still a rental and it's relatively easy to pencil in a projected $$ value for him
  18. Laika
    the annoying thing is they could/would do it and their system would not even be gutted
  19. Laika
    O's have the pieces to land him! They could trade a huge package like Joey Ortiz, Connor Norby, and Heston Kjerstad. It would not hurt them long term much at all. They would not have to trade any of their top ~5 or so prospects. I'd be shocked if they did it though, for a rental player even if it is Ohtani.
  20. Laika
    Goose, Bassitt, and Berrios are all top 20 in IP this year Isolated decisions aside I don't really think these guys are being babied or yanked too early on a regular basis...
  21. Laika
    Honestly, Pearson is a good trade chip so he very well may be gone. Any rebuilding or retooling team will love him but I don't see how Toronto can trust him this year
  22. Laika
    Well the Curve has like a 33% zone rate so hitters probably just ignore it He had one outing where he could throw the curve for strikes and he looked like the best RP in baseball
  23. Laika
    Cody Bellinger is not "back" but he has salvaged his career and was a good signing for the Cubbies
  24. Laika
    Mostly command, right. Too many fastballs as meatballs and not enough competitive breaking balls or different looks in the strike zone. So simple to hit against. Almost every hitter gets one cookie fastball each PA.
  25. Laika
    I guess lack of reps just ruined his development Exactly like when Merryweather as a RP would get hit around. It didn't really make sense but he was just missing the finer points of pitching that almost every MLB P has. Pearson will probably be a good reliever in 2 or 3 years
