Toronto Blue Jays Roster Discussion (2022)
L54 replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Not a chance. -
Because his arb 1 salary was 11.5M after winning MVP. That set the bar for the rest of his arb years. Crazy but true
-
Trade all 3 catchers and sign Vazquez
-
Take the three guys who have pitched in the majors already Painter/Harrison/Tiedemann best case scenario is turning into Lodolo or Baz One in the hand is worth two in the bush Of the three prospects I’d rank them Painter Tiedemann Harrison

Toronto Blue Jays Roster Discussion (2022)

Probably because his only good season came with a .366 BABIP and a 30% k rate He trimmed his K’s by 4% and still had nowhere near the BABIP he had in 2021 Hard hard pass on Tyler O’Neil for Jansen. -
I’d be down with Nootbaar I think. If he can play CF then absolutely.
-
Should be one long term piece and another medium length piece. The team has to remain cognizant of salary on the books when it comes time to extend/pay Vlad, Bo, Manoah, Kirk etc. That’s where signing a guy like Nimmo probably doesn’t make sense. Sure they could make it work this year but it will handcuff them down the line.
-
I don’t think the Jays are getting Carroll even if they made a fair offer. Somebody else exciting hopefully!
-
Money saved in this trade + trading one of the catchers mean two sizeable additions should be expected this offseason.
-
Good post Jonn
-
I mean it’s the middle of November and there have been like three free agent signings and a couple of trades. No way they’re going to go into next year with Merrifield in CF and Espinal/Biggio at second. What addition(s) offensively is yet to be seen but they’re not calling it an offseason by adding Erik Swanson and that’s it.
-
Do you always look at things glass half empty?
-
I’m sure they would’ve preferred to trade LGJ
-
The inverse of this would be trading three years of Jordan Romano for one year of Mitch Haniger People would be PISSED if that happened Can’t please everybody
-
Lmao yes they kinda did... it’s called saving 14M
-
Wanna know what else you need in the playoffs? Swing and miss relievers. 15% swst rate Might be the new closer
-
Half of a year of Francisco Liriano turned into 5 seasons of Teoscar. One year of Teoscar will turn into .... TBD If Swanson is a back end guy for the next 3 years this looks great. If he turns into a pumpkin you moved a 130 wRC+ bat during an offseason you were supposed to compete.
-
All this tells me is that the Jays are shaking things up and the team is probably going to look fairly different next year. Teo has one year remaining and was always unlikely to be re signed. Use that money on a different OF or in the rotation. This move on its own is going to look disappointing. Need to reserve judgment until we see how they allocate the savings.

The question isn’t is Cavan Biggio good, the question is whether or not a 1.5 win player is worth 3M. The answer is yes.
-
Bauer is gonna serve his suspension, come back and dominate and pitch until he’s 42.
-
I think so too. It stifles his market.
-
I’d say it was dumb to offer Perez
-
Might be the last offseason to squeeze a little bit of orange juice out of Biggio.
-
All good points. The rule isn’t to reward development of ROY votes it’s to stop teams from holding down prospects. Weird to see how it played out with so many big names this year. Don’t the top 3 qualifiers get some sort of compensation or am I dreaming that up?
