I hate backtrackers lol. One of the reason that one guy was popular is he doubled down. Obviously if Jays signed Matt Chapman to 10/250 tomorrow (as an fictitious, extreme example) I’d hate it. So clearly it’a dependent to me on the player
-
No. I actually worry about Bogeys bat long term and that’s why I bailed on him in fantasy. You’ll never see him come to the defense of someone I don’t think will be a big bat
-
So it’s awful but it’s good. That’s the Cliff note there.
-
I like CC long term better then say Bogey. Just more power and will have an easier time making up for any slide in D. Also the bat can profile at another position. While I defend the mega deal, it doesn’t mean I’d always do it. Depends on the player of course.
-
And stuff changes in a year. Every single one of us I think mocked Judge last year for not signing for $150m less. Based on the Seager contract, no there wasn’t going to be a deal had with CC. He didn’t get what he wanted, so he took a show me deal, sort of like Rodon where there was a pillow in case he kept getting hurt
-
Sorry dude. The de facto board leader is essentially with me on this. You have to look at the impact of the first say 8 years and understand 9-13 is really just dead money and everyone knows it. So it’s a matter of if you think that’s going to handicap your team. So if it’s the Jays, it definitely will, so I wouldn’t want them to do it.
-
Correa deal it becomes more blatantly obvious for sure.
-
Teddy Roosevelt was a racist apparently, so that name shouldn’t be around too much longer
-
Mullins was disappointing as well. Steals are too heavily factored I think
-
Ah he does steal I guess but the .750 OPS thing is underwhelming.
-
Also before I hear RA has a 125 wRC+, I play 9 cat fantasy baseball and he’s not the asset there he could be, in terms of optimal outcome
-
Adames kinda puts a chink in their armor and goes to show they’ve underperformed developing hitters. Even after his Bonds impression in the playoffs, RA has been disappointing with the bat for the most part. Wander will get going to be something but jury is out if one of the best hitters in baseball I’ve posted on how bad all their 1st round and comp round draft picks for hitters have gone If they were 1/4 as good as developing hitters as pitchers and defense, it would probably be a Patriots dynasty going.

Tattletale. Lame

Did you guys really ban him you hypocritical bastards lol. How often does “go buy a wife” get used…more than that.

The Blue Jays sign Kevin Kiermaier

Entering a year when many CF go into a steep decline, not even considering the surgery. But King Jim has spoken -

Would’ve thought BTS could do a little better for Rodon -
Well, as has been discussed, every $20m aav contract to Toronto becomes consequential. More so than other teams. But this seems like a good use of resources, all things considered.
-
Father Time really the only risk. Hopefully he goes somewhere to optimize his hormones Nice add
-
Sticking to the $10/WAR value, Correa deal probably wouldn’t look bad. Like 11/330? I mean if he gives you 25 WAR in 6 years, then rides out the contract as an average, then even a below average regular, the value is almost right. You get a “veteran presence” at the back end and all that.. So it’s really about what you think you have in the next 5-6 years
-
If you want to apologize for being a dumbass, I’ll happily accept. We all have our faults
-
Not a completely unfair summary…but not so black-and-white I guess..as I said, I didn’t mean to “rank” anything and of course I think some teams operate better than others.. I can just respect different approaches. In general you just have to Look at deals in a different lens. Again, like I think a 10 year Correa deal isn’t something Jays should do, but I’d applaud another team for it if they know what they’re getting into
-
You’re the simpleton, mate. Call up Spanky, grab a case of Bud and have at it. Some may choose to keep the $20m, some may decide to buy some players to put a better product on the field, some might put it into development… I don’t begrudge any of the ways
-
As I’ve said, no use crying about how Rogers wants to do things. As it is, I don’t want to see any Correa contract because I know years 6-10 that dead money will be crippling. A different ownership mindset and it starts to make sense. Correa, Rodon, keep Teo, sign KK to sure up D, sign Montero someone else.. whatever you get for Danny too and now you got a pretty f***ing exciting team and some backend risk for sure but nothing debilitating if you know ownership is committed. That’s not happening but I hate when people mock teams for going for it. If I’m a billionaire, I would. That said, of course there’s some ways that are smarter to go about it than others. But in the case of SD, I don’t see the big downside. For the Mets, I don’t think Cohen is going to change his ways either
-
Yeah I’m not really trying to rank what the best way is. I mean obviously the Mets and Pit are examples of different ends of the spectrum and there’s a lot in the middle. I can just understand the different approaches. There’s not one way to do it, and I think you see that across mlb
-
Wtf does that have to do with anything I said? Of course they have people looking out for the financial interest of the team. There’s someone doing that for the Mets and Pit. Yet they operate pretty differently. Pretty basic s*** Jim. Either you can pour money into a business even if it puts you at a loss, hoping for growth.. or you can operate according to your revenue and keep the focus on making a profit and going from there
