Market inflated since then though Like Cody Bellinger ended up getting basically what his arb projection was
-
I think some heavy recency bias since he’s following Strider and Harris. People just assuming Atlanta can do no wrong. But Grissom is a clear tier below them, he’s like that Tampa Bay 2B prospect right now I forget his name wtf is it. Brujan
-
It’s relevant. Most players show their true max EV by then. Or at least 95% of it. Grissom is weird. He might have a noodle arm and be a 2B and he might not have good pop. Not a slam dunk fantasy stud by any means. Like he could be a 20/30 player or he could be a 10/20 guy who struggles for real life playing time
-
Lmao this guy is 5’8” and almost 30 wtf is Boston thinking???
-
Of course Jansen has a bit more value, Toronto would have to be desperate to do a straight up trade
-
Kevin Kiermaier will have more WAR than Teoscar Hernandez this year Quote this
-
I’m starting to get very excited for the Kevin Kiermaier 4 WAR revenge season
-
Still no word on the cost?
-
Good?
-
You say this like Toronto didn’t heavily explore the trade route. I would assume Sexy Ross has dozens of hours of phone calls with all possible trade partners at this point. And Kiermaier is a great fit in part because he does not preclude another move for an OF, whatsoever.
-
“Tremendous” —— not exactly. It would be a very minor miscalculation, in hindsight. A mistake about the size of a rounding error. It’s also completely possible Tampa Bay didn’t engage in good faith with a division rival on the trade possibility. Maybe they asked for an actual prospect
-
Completely agree He’s just too hot basically
-
It’s funny how good this fit is And how much some people hate it I’m laughing out loud
-
They are quite good inefficient in their use of resources. You don’t have to call that “stupid” but they do actively make holes in future teams that they have to either spend their way out of or live with. The age of the Mets right now is kind of bonkers.
-
Even the Dodgers have a budget of sorts, or a spending philosophy. They shy away from mega contracts
-
Biggio lol
-
The terms are not revealed yet But TheHurl would know. He plays cribbage with Ross.
-
I’m guessing KK will be the CF starter but get hurt at least once and end up getting a 4th OFers helping of playing time each season. He just fits the roster so well right now. Toronto almost had to make this marriage happen. Fingers crossed for health and a big enough chip on his shoulder to feel like he has something left to prove in his career
-
Seems about right in this inflated FA market. He projects for 1.2 wins and a win is probably $10M this free agency

First off, the Jays have made enough big ticket signings and trades over the last few years that nobody should be complaining. But they are just super active I think. They call every possible free agent. They have discussions with every team. Some other orgs don’t turn over as many stones. I think that’s a lot of why they show up a lot in rumours. Also, fan bias. You tend to remember when you see your team mentioned -

People (morons) are going to tell you that they lost in the playoffs specifically because of the type of teams they put together -

I don’t know if they’ve don’t a bad job at developing outfielders as much as just not prioritizing drafting them at all. Like the philosophy is to draft middle infielders We’ll probably start seeing the infield prospects spill into the outfield soon. Maybe with Barger. Maybe others -

Good post Also, the “they inherited Vlad” criticism should be dead at this point since he’s only been a difference maker in one of four mlb seasons. Some people will never be happy. They bring up instant stars like Kirk and Manoah and people just look right past them -
I’ll take Macko on both ceiling and “floor” Both have floors of absolutely nothing but sounds like Macko has better stuff. That’s mostly what matters
-
Body language, style, how he carries himself. WHAT he says. Yes, his demeanour and tone are pretty low key.
