    Gausman, Cease, Yesavage, Bieber Hoffman, Rogers, Varland, Fisher, Fluharty, Yimi, Nance Corbin/Scherzer/Berrios/Lauer for two spots Who are you cutting or trading if everyone is healthy? Two need to go. Nance is out of options and has decent projections/stuff so he would be claimed. We have already cut Miles and demoted Mantiply here. The team isn't likely to put two starters in the pen as long-men. Berrios is not liquid, cannot be traded Scherzer could perhaps be put on the gentleman's IL Maybe Corbin could be traded for cash/PTBNL if he is pitching well There isn't really a reason to prefer Lauer to Corbin. Corbin was also pretty solid in 2025, made 30 starts and was worth 1.9 fWAR. There is no "stuff gap." Lauer's gaping yap is not helping his case Of course it's baseball so there will be enough injuries for this to not ever matter

    Lauer also might be DFA bait if nobody wants him f***ing 86 Stuff+ this year and making 4x what Patty Corbin signed for Corbin and Lauer are both just sort of a bet on who can fake it with plus command for 15 starts or so Scherzer and Berrios might be in the same bucket This collection of has-beens is becoming pretty funny
  4. Laika
    I think he's trade bait for sure The Astros are a mess and need pitching desperately and Toronto-Houston are trade buddies The Cards are miraculously 14-9 but have one of the grossest rotations out there

    How can Vlad be so good at SLIDING INTO HOME (elite poke last night and a dozen epic dives and decisions in his career) but so bad at ALL OTHER BASERUNNING DECISIONS AND THINGS ???

    Arjun Nimmala is now up to a 138 wRC+ There are only 4 players in the NWL who are younger than him (and it is only by mere months) and two other 20 year olds older than him. Of those seven 20 year old players, he's the only one hitting that well and 5 of them have a wRC+ in the 60s or 70s. He spent all of 2025 in A+ so he's New Hampshire bound before summer, I think.
  7. Laika
    Makes sense given his skill set that he might be able to just grip it and rip it against almost anything Still not sure how he sticks if everyone gets healthy

    If the Jays get a Mr. 3000 with 500+ Homers it will be invaluable for the franchise Their current in-uniform leaders have 1583 hits (Fernandez) and 336 homers (Delgado) Vlad is going to end up the franchise leader, for eternity, for most counting stats other than stolen bases

    Manny's K%+ is probably much higher than Vlad League K/9 was like 6.5 during Manny's first ten years. It's like 8.5 now. Despite that, Vlad's K rate is lower. I feel like we can just call him Vladdy Murray and move on EXCEPT Guerrero has that freaking 48 homer season hanging around. Reasonably I guess we cannot except Eddie Murray's longevity but we can probably expect at least a couple more 40(ish) homer seasons in his prime.

    Seems like he and the Blue Jays made a joint decision that 130 good/healthy innings would be the best thing for both the 2026 team and Bieber's next free agency No need or upside in trying to make 30 starts and increasing injury risk I kind of don't think he was even hurt. Maybe they made up the dead arm thing
  12. Laika
    Yimi closed to rehab. Yimi, Rogers, Varland Fluharty and Fisher for situational relief Hoffman = RP6 go hang out with Thomas Nance
  13. Laika
    Another Nimmala double... .250 / .890 now On fire. 8 for his last 14 with two homers and two doubles
  14. Laika
    Like I said the Lenyn Sosa trade was the turning point
  15. Laika
    God forbid a manager defend his players!
  16. Laika
    The Berrios
  17. Laika
    This is what it looks like to execute a pitch
  18. Laika
    Holy s*** two more rocket outs What is going on
  19. Laika
    Jays hit four balls 100+ mph in the fourth, one hit Corbin is better than Lauer btw

    Throwback Tuesday
  21. Laika
    It is Reggie Jackson, I think, and I cheated Anyway, Eddie Murray is a much better comp for Vlad
  22. Laika
    I don't f***ing know I heard it once on a podcast DYOR
  23. Laika
    Average EV is a pretty bad stat His MaxEV and other stuff show that his pop is at least average Damn, just noticed that Pinango has a 115.4 mph MaxEV this year. 4th best in AAA and it would be 11th best in MLB. uhhhhh boys Also JoJo Parker is the best hitter in A ball according to that website's little metric

    Yeah it's 100% Sosa and Eloy gone They didn't trade this "Jordan Rich" guy (if he even exists) for Lenyn Sosa under the assumption that they would actually control Sosa for a long time. It was just the price of a stop-gap. Very possible Sosa stinks it up for two weeks and is then gone. But he also makes $800k and has control + some pop and hitability, so even if Toronto DFAs him they can probably trade him for "Justin Rich" or whatever. Some other causasian NPC who won't get above the FCL. Schneider, Lukes, and Straw just do too many things right as "glue guys" to even think about optioning them

    Vlad is breaking out
