Jays need a bat. Yes, “need” is subjective. But many teams in the Jays make themselves better for the next year. Definitely Bassitt did that if Father Time doesn’t get him (I don’t think it will this year anyway) Getting a possible backend arm was nice too if it works out, but need something extra for those 2-1 and 3-2 games
-
Actually when I pimped the Vikings, it was just as a casual bc I knew some of the stars and they beat Buffalo. I later read an article about how bad they are under the hood
-
There’s this myth that slugging corner OF are easy to find
-
Diluted their Mookie trade no less to save money. Though luckily for the Sox, their revenue stream is always going to be great. Crazy sports town
-
So many teams, so many outcomes. Boston got new ownership and decided against the mega payroll. Lost Mookie for nothing, wasted/wasting away a window with some of the best core pieces in baseball

Something something kettle
-
Greg Bird will still f*** with peoples heads somewhere when he has a .950 OPS next spring. That said, I wasn’t one of people jumping on the B-wagon
-
I meant comparing to someone with a $16b net worth…what spending a few day extra million on your play thing equates to
-
I saw this with the Golden State Warriors. They signed Kelly Oubre and in real money, it cost them like $50m/year
-
Do you ever splurge and buy a $200 bottle of wine? Does that make you stupid? I’m not even sure that would be a proper equivalent. Maybe splurge on a pizza
-
Well, Miggy was an extension of their own guy. So I wasn’t really thinking of it as FA move but I agree probably I should’ve considered it for the overall picture. Anyways, my beliefs are the same
-
Not much there man. They extended their guy in Miggy. Fielder was a big contract and some bad luck. The others in there but doesn’t seem anything like SD, Mets, and Tex have been doing
-
Big contacts will continue. The market has been established. One major factor is more teams being in the playoff hunt. That means more casuals, more revenue.. higher franchise values. Teams like SD and Tex aren’t even big market teams and were pretty ho hum 10 years ago. Besides the major markets, you may see another team enter the fray. I don’t really remember Det going for it as BTS said other than one off season where they spent a little and people were like what’s this. This is not like Tex and SD who had some big contracts not look good this year and they were right back at it. Yes, it would be great if entry franchise was like the Houston Astros and did it the “right way”.. but that’s just not how it goes
-
Still doubtful he’d be a reliever in the sense of 1 inning shutdown guy. He’d take Strip’s old role They’d need him stretched out. No depth for SP.
-
Yes on Gausman but that’s the thing.. this s*** can change in a year. I mean it prob won’t jump again like this for say 5 years, but then it’ll be like $30m/yr was a deal
-
Jays would be better served just paying the AAV. Like Correa 8/330. But I imagine the 13/360 is still preferable to players because there’s not another FA and possible family move
-
Well, that’s the rub. I can totally get that side of things
-
Come on. Even you sabr guys know you can’t just take 1 year of D sample size and make a judgement he’s on the decline. Otherwise, again in the context of D, you could say KK was on a major decline even before the surgery
-
Are you dense Jimbo? That’s rhetorical. He called Correa an all bat SS starting almost immediately and I pointed out the clear irony of how everyone is so thrilled with KK
-
LOFL. So we can lick the nuts of a 34yo CF coming off major surgery but let’s say Correa is done being a plus SS at 28 Got it
-
Now there’s at least two here that can see it from another lens
-
I said per 150. Quick math it’s 26 per lifetime
-
His build over Bogey for starters. I think he’s a legit 25/hr per 150 guy and will stay that way. So after 5 years, he could move off SS and probably be a quality 3b
-
Of course Correa has to stay on the field.. so he may have to make up a few WAR after first 5 years
-
If you’re a believer in the $10m/WAR standard, it all jives man. I’m talking about of my ass but it seems baseball aav has been more stagnant in the past decade than the other sports. It seems they prefer to stretch it out for cap purposes. But an “A” star demanding $40m/year is probably on par with the times. Correa 9/360 1-5 years= 25 WAR 6-9- avg of like 2.7 and he’s there. Seems doable for sure, as his skill should age well. 10-13 is 4 years of dead money. Is what it is. You get 5 years of a star player, few years of solid player.. deal is paid for
