    I highly doubt they’re willing to almost double the projected payroll in one offseason. Seems like a terrible idea. I think a lot of people need to temper their expectations. Maaaaybe one of the big 4, but if not I expect a few 2-3 year deals at like 10-15M/year.

    I was listening to the Starting 9 pod over Christmas and they made a good point that these free agents aren’t in a hurry to sign because they train themselves - the players have become extremely individualized in the sense that they can do whatever they need to improve or get ready for next season on their own. Tell me when Spring Training starts and I’ll be there ready to go. Sure if you have 5 kids and a wife who all want to know what school they’re going to the desire to sign might be stronger, but not enough to throw your hands up and take whatever deal is on the table.

    Exactly. Nobody has signed. Did people really expect this years offseason to move at a pace faster than the last 5 years? Half the league doesn’t even know how to construct their roster ffs, of course free agency is dragging out.

    I bet you peak at Christmas presents. They will sign!
  5. L54
    Exactly. Unless you throw left handed if you ended up in the OF at any point in your baseball career you likely failed as an infielder.
  6. L54
    There's a very real chance that the reason why Toronto's system isn't loaded with OF prospects is because the team places an emphasis on infielders with the understanding that they can always move to the OF if the bat plays.

    Corner outfielders are the most replaceable position on the field. You could sign Robbie Grossman for like 6M this year if you wanted and could expect a 1-2 win player. There are guys like that available every single year. Who cares!

    Griffin Conine is a weird hill to die on
  9. L54
    They wanted him to continue working on his defence
  10. L54
    Great call. Happy New Year Brian
  11. L54
    Answer the question
  12. L54
    Has King been laid before? Honest question No seriously, it’s an actual question My guess is no
  13. L54
    When did all 164 pounds of Queen become so tough
  14. L54
    Only if you can offer David Jacob or Kevin Newman
  15. L54
    Alex Bregman for sale to the highest third round pick available
  16. L54
    Kevin Newman should certainly fit the bill
  17. L54
    Mike Minor, Kevin Newman and Josh Donaldson lol For reference I offered Yoan Moncada straight up
  18. L54
    I’ll give you a sixth round pick
  19. L54
    That trade is veto able Why is the guy who drafted David Jacob second overall slinging deals like this
  20. L54

    Bauer is my favourite player in the MLB
  23. L54
    I’d take Kepler easily

    The last three starting shortstops for WS winning teams were not elite defensive players. So the point doesn't really hold water. If the argument is that you want to improve defense, sign Simmons or Semien. Trading Gurriel to sign Lindor when he's a FA next year is crazy to me.
  25. L54
    Sorry what? Tulo didn't show us anything other than trading for aging shortstops over 30 isn't really a great idea. There is no certainty that Bichette becomes elite at second or third. He might have to move off the position but he's 22 years old. Why not just sign Lindor next year? Is this the only year the Blue Jays can win the World Series?
