Astros need to be punished heavily. Wouldn’t surprise me if we learned more as well. It goes against every moral fibre of the game.
-
This team desperately needs a CF. Trading for Starling Marte would be an interesting option too.
-
Gurriel is the first position player I’d move on this team to fill a need in the rotation. Doesn’t walk, K’s a bunch, allergic to the infield and can’t play CF. If someone is willing to give up a rotation piece I would be all over it. DP is pretty clearly saying replacing an average corner OF bat isn’t very difficult, and if you can move one for a long term rotation piece it probably makes sense to do so. Calhoun, Dickerson, Gardner, Avisail, make sense as FA. I don’t think LGJ as it stands today is a four or even three win player by any stretch.

100% on board moving LGJ. He’s like a 115 wRC+ corner outfielder. If that gets you a rotation arm you do it

Give me the LA Dodgers -
No it's not pretty but it has the potential to outperform at least and help the team be competitive without tying up a bunch of payroll like you said. That's exactly what I want to see happen this year. The guys they bring in don't really matter to me, they've all got warts and they're all within the same realm of talent level. I don't see the big fish coming to Toronto who just lost 90+ games when they'll be coveted by teams with a WS chance.
-
I didn't say Homer Bailey is getting 3/45 lol I specifically said they will be looking at guys who require 2-3 year commitments at roughly 10-15M dollars. Obviously one year commitments are even better but it's hard to imagine Toronto being any starter's first choice on a one year deal. I'm confident you actually agree with me but chose to play semantics instead.
-
Murphy could be but for Kay it is a stretch yes.

I think everyone would like to see Wheeler signed. He is the only one from the top tier that I can realistically see landing in Toronto. Of course, that is going to mean forfeiting pick #45 or whatever it ends up being. I would do it but I can't imagine the nerds upstairs would. The focus shouldn't be on acquiring guys to fit "our window" because in theory the window doesn't close. What I want to see from the Jays this offseason is to put a competitive team on the field while assuming the least amount of risk possible. Kyle Gibson (or whichever pitching flavour you prefer) at 3/36 gives the team some stability now and then hopefully a good year or two while the team is competing from 2021 on. His contract won't be a hindrance. I don't expect the Jays to ever go out and buy guys like Cole/Stras. I believe their plan is to develop them (Pearson, SWR) and supplement the rotation with mid level innings eaters. Vlad and Bo, and to a lesser extend Biggio, Jansen are going to get paid eventually. No need to tie up all the flexibility before you know what you have.
-
Hamels and Hill are both great targets, I just expect at this point in their careers there will be lots of contending teams willing to match whatever anyone else is offering for a year or two.
-
Ya he probably will actually, especially with Gibson and Pineda being free agents as well. Good call
-
Your turn SirBlowJob
-
Extend Giles and go get someone else established at the back end. Fill the rest out with Daniel Hudson signings.

There are so many SP available this offseason that it would be a massive fail on their part to not get at least one signed, and two need to be added somehow this offseason. I don't expect them to be in play for any of the big fish (Cole, Strasburg, Bumgarner, Ryu, Wheeler) but guys like Gibson, Wood, Bailey, Miley, Pineda, Odorizzi should be pursued heavily. The type of guys looking at 2-3 year deals at ~10-15M. Maybe some guys get left in the dust and you're able to get them on a one year deal. I would be satisfied with an offseason that had an opening day rotation look something like this: 1. Gibson 2. Bailey 3. Shoemaker 4. Thornton 5. Opener Kay, Pearson, Murphy all waiting in AAA with the potential to be 3's or better. It looks a lot more like the Brewers than the Nats but the risk is minimal and the upside is there if the young guys are able to make an impact.

Nats Rays -
Thanks Spanky. It feels good to be back on top As the Champion, YEXIT IS SQUASHED!
-
I use it and it’s brutal. Please mark me as AGAINST so the records show
-
Fantrax is f***ing awful and the YEXIT members have been brainwashed by the cabal
-
Kyle Gibson, Zack Wheeler, Rick Porcello, Alex Wood, Homer Bailey, Wade Miley, Drew Smyly, Jake Odorizzi, Tanner Roark as free agents. Honestly signing two of those guys shouldn’t be a stretch. As for trades I don’t really know haven’t given it much thought.
-
BTS said it best but damn is Cole a bad bad man
-
I dropped that piece of s*** Vazquez. He’ll never play again nor should he. The only good pedophile is a dead one
-
I stand corrected. Good luck BTS
-
2017 Finals rematch. Thanks for taking care of The Drunks, may the best man win
