Jays sign Jorge Alcala to a minor league deal Incredible! I don't know why he was ass last year but he throws gas and was good before -
Posting here is an important outlet that allows me to perform at a high level at my job Like jacking off before a date

No, that's not a correct comparison. If someone chooses to make $40k less to work for a non-profit their choice is to earn less in order to perform some kind of good service to the world, generally Berrios would just be choosing to make $40m less because he likes to be a starting pitcher. No good for the world comes of this. Pure self-interest. Hedonism. Childish stuff. One must consider all factors! If a guy who already has a family and lots of responsibilities chooses to make a lot less money and risk the stability of his family because he wants more time to play Fortnite then it would be a disservice to his community and peoples. If his family is stable and he wants to make less so he can spend more time with his family, then it's not a problem. It's not about the MONEY it's about the PRIORITIES and the REASONS
-
The guy has a charitable foundation If he doesn't need the 40m he will pitch out the contract and donate it to kids in his community and enrich his island It wouldn't be altruistic or noble to just let Rogers Communications keep 40m lol You could even argue it is amoral to walk away from they money. It's a disservice to his community, his family, his union, his peers, and himself (his current contract is a reflection of how good he was at a certain juncture and what he was able to bargain for). Walking away from the money is actually hedonism. "I'd rather feel a bit more comfortable at work right now than satisfy a litany of financial and moral obligations, goals, and responsibilities that I could perform or satisfy"

Imagine a left handed, red-headed Alek Manoah that was prime Spanky on the mound
-
It would be more than a slightly lower AAV He might get offered like, 1/$10m
-
It devalues the entire prospect side of things - picks and kids. Jonah Tong was a 7th round pick in 2022, he was probably a free agent until some point in 2024
-
wow, free for all on pop-up MiLB prospects devalues prospects significantly (if you are any good at stat scouting or following hot prospect news). I would be keeping Skubal
-
League settings, depth?
-
Yeah, both are fine and it's a coinflip One will suck the other will probably be good for a couple more years then suck
-
5 more days for Murakami I think?

RP flying off the board Weaver Mets 2/$22m Many jokes shall be made about the Mets pirating the Yankees s***** bullpen
-
Right The only thing working in favour of a trade right now is that there are other teams out there trying to shake up their roster and unload a s***** contract, so there might be a bad contract swap that could be had
-
Berrios isn't worth what's left on his contract no matter what role he's in Even if he gets 10-5 rights I doubt he blocks a trade if the result would be him in a normal rotation spot again
-
I just see 4 guys who you prefer as setup men It's totally fine, and there is no need to upgrade. Also, Nance, Little, Fluharty, and Fisher can reasonably be second tier setup men as well, say 7th inning guys. So you could have a full 8 man bullpen without any slop at all. It's great for depth. Not to mention the rule 5 guy, and Bastardo, and Tiedemann, and the excess SP...

It is a deep pen but not as good if you focus on the top 2 or 3 relievers, compared to some of the teams above them in the overall projections
-
But those undervalue Rogers by like 0.7 WAR or more Adjust for that and it's top 5
-
dude hates Bo lmao people are so out to lunch on Bo (some people) if the market is like that he is a steal
-
I feel like Vlad would have needed that playoff resume to justify the contract Toronto gave him before he even done did dat He bent Ross and Mark over, everybody knows it, and everyone is okay with it
-
The rumor mill is starting to say that Kyle Tucker is not getting offered what he wants. Toronto may be the current "high bidder" but it's low $300s. Potential for an annoying pillow contract for him, which means any team who can do a $40m AAV can swoop in. I refuse to link any of this crap though
