    Savanah Bananas?

    His splitter was lethal last night. really kept them from squaring up the fastball. His splitter development this season has been very important.

    Some great comments from the mouth breathing section of other sports outlets: "Oh sure, send down a player who actually has some hits." "What a joke, first hit and it's goodbye to Buffalo? Fire Schneider." It gets worse from there. Apparently, Los Santos was the second coming of Mike Trout. I always love checking the comments just to feel better that despite this board's issues, the general baseball knowledge here is so far above the casual fan its astounding.

    hits lefties quite well, can play a few positions (not very well mind you). Also cheap as hell for the rest of the year. There's no real point in the jays claiming him though since they want to look at the kids.

    Dodgers activated Betts, DFA Amed Rosario
  6. John_Havok
    I dont disagree, its just that he's terrible on the OF and his natural 3b position is blocked in STL. There might be a deal there under the right circumstances.
  7. John_Havok
    Jordan Walker perhaps from STL

    Bieber would be interesting for sure, but yes he's probably missing a month or two in 2025. Had TJ sometime around April 10 this year. Burnes would be my #1 choice. I suspect Bieber will sign another 1 year deal with Cleveland, probably with options added on Trade market...f***ed if I know really. I'm not sure the Jays have the pieces to even trade for a #1 type SP. I think they could land a top tier reliever or two though.

    I agree that having the best 4 and 5 is nice, but i do that by getting another top arm which pushes 3 and 4 to 4 and 5. And the previous 5, ideally someone young with less than 3 years of service time, to be the first man up when injury happens.

    I don't do politics. Religion on the other hand....
  11. John_Havok
    I think his last game action was July 23. Easing him back in is probably a decent plan
  12. John_Havok
    It's the top of the rotation that needs improvement, not the bottom.
  13. John_Havok
    yeah. Pitching was on point on both sides today. Extremely boring.
  14. John_Havok
    Vlad just got destroyed by Miller. f*** that kid that throw
  15. John_Havok
    may as well. open roster spots, hope 1 works out. What else they gonna do at this point of the season? the only guys with real talent that might appear on waivers will be old and/or expensive, which they don't want.

    The Blue Jays have claimed Luis Frías off of waivers from the Diamondbacks, according to both teams. Arizona designated the right-hander for assignment on Thursday to make room for catcher Andrew Knizner on the 40-man roster. Toronto has optioned Frías to Triple-A Buffalo, reports Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. The Blue Jays had two open spots on their 40-man roster, so no additional roster moves will be necessary. He throws a hard sinker, thats about all I know. It's a "throw s*** at the wall and see if it sticks" move for the pen
  17. John_Havok
    Damn, 1 bad pitch all game and Rooker just squeaked it out.
  18. John_Havok
    *crickets*
  19. John_Havok
    Good stuff for Yariel getting out of the 2nd inning jam with 2 on and nobody out. well done. Vlad extends his hitting streak with a single in the first.
  20. John_Havok
    If the Dodgers get Soto, there's no real point in playing anymore. Top 4 of the lineup would be all future HOF hitters.
  21. John_Havok
    Even the walk rate... less than 1% below career average with the most feared power hitter in the game hitting right behind him. You'd think pitchers would rather take their chances with Soto... doesn't seem that way.
  22. John_Havok
    Yeah hard to say, but really Ohtani sets the bar. Jays point to him and say listen, the Jesus of baseball was willing to defer in order to keep competitive so the Dodgers can keep guys like Freeman and Betts around. It's not even like What Would Jesus Do, it's now Look What Jesus Did.
  23. John_Havok
    For sure. Even if we assume he gets 40m, same as judge, that's 2 40 million dudes, a 36m Cole, a 32m Stanton and a 27m Rodon right behind. 175m per season for just 5 players with none of them being FAs until 2029 when Rodon, Cole and Stanton are up. That's kinda nutty to think about, but yeah, could very well happen. I dont think Soto will only end up with 40 though, i'm betting it goes higher.
  24. John_Havok
    At the risk of sounding sarcastic, yeah, usually when contracts are signed both parties need to agree on the terms.
  25. John_Havok
    Unless deferrals take centre stage on both Vlad and Soto's hypothetical deals. Maybe they can talk them into that using the very obvious need to do so in order to keep them surrounded with talent. I know lots of people are talking about the Yankees re-signing him but ... with their payroll now and heading into the 4th straight year of penalties... the taxes alone on signing Soto would be immense. But then again... deferrals are an option for them too.
