  1. The terms are not revealed yet But TheHurl would know. He plays cribbage with Ross.
  2. 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
  3. Seems about right in this inflated FA market. He projects for 1.2 wins and a win is probably $10M this free agency
  4. 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
  5. People (morons) are going to tell you that they lost in the playoffs specifically because of the type of teams they put together
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. Body language, style, how he carries himself. WHAT he says. Yes, his demeanour and tone are pretty low key.
  10. Relax, dorks Lots of offseason left
  11. Danny Jansen for Sal Frelick? Maybe?
  12. Beantown got 10 seasons of Bogaerts. His entire 20s. That's amazing. Fumbled Betts horribly though.
  13. it's not racist, his name is Santiago he can assimilate
  14. Steamer is pretty bullish on both Barger and Otto Lopez. 113 wRC+ and 102 wRC+ I dunno if either of them is a true shortstop but they probably at least provide 2B/3B/LF coverage. With Moreno... nice as hell to have three depth guys with those types of offensive projections on the strength of no or almost no major league data.
  15. Nah he's good. Viable backup SS who can start in a pinch. 4.5 WAR in 254 career games. These guys don't grow on trees. The A's just paid 32 year old Aledmys Diaz 2/$14M to be significantly worse. You keep Espinal until free agency, he's a glue guy that keeps your entire roster working right. And an amazing insurance policy on the infield. I mean, unless someone wants to overpay for him...
  16. His name is Santiago and it's Miami. A perfect match, really?
  17. Bo will want too much. He'll be confident to a possible fault and think he will be able to enter free agency looking like a superstar stud SS in a few years. Vlad might sign. Seems to genuinely like Toronto.
  18. pretty much, but they would not do that for most arms jesus sanchez might fit on Toronto's roster too i wonder what Sixto's medicals look like...
  19. totally possible part of me thinks that teams just aren't going to go there for him, based on his profile
  20. Semien is kind of WHY Bo is still at shortstop in a different sense. A bad shortstop my fancy stats until 2018, when he turned 27. So he's the model for shortstop improvement. Although Bo's 2022 was much worse than any of Semien's below average defensive seasons...
  21. he's already terrible, by every measure the only things keeping him at SS are: 1) office politics 2) the ephemeral promise of youth

    Are you joking? They never take these cases to trial. Not unless there is like, video evidence or something.
  25. Reports are that Boston was not even a top 5 bidder for Bogaerts
