    Well, you can recognize sarcasm. but I'm not convinced you know what it means.
  2. John_Havok
    Boy I sure learned my lesson. Next time someone says stuff with absolute certainty without providing any actual points to back up their statement I'll just blindly accept it as truth. You must be a politician

    Jeff Kent had a HOF worthy career for 8 weeks of Cone. Again, not "next to nothing" The fact he was blocked by Alomar doesn't change what his value was.
  4. John_Havok
    Yea you're right, future HOF and an outstanding SS certainly qualify as "next to nothing"
  5. John_Havok
    Woo Suk Go sounds like one of connorp's pickup lines in Asia

    Name an example of Gillick convincing players to come to the Jays for "next to nothing"
  7. John_Havok
    He could very well be going to the Dodgers. Jays have signed top free agents and shown the willingness to spend in the past 5 seasons. Sure, it's probably a long shot but to say the team hasnt done anything since Gillick left is moronic.
  8. John_Havok
    Hes not playing the OF in 2024
  9. John_Havok
    Agreed. Love that chicken at Popeye's.
  10. John_Havok
    still kinda weird. Must have been some kind of agreement thing that took place prior to Miley turning down the option. LIke, "ill decline my option to allow to you pay me less guaranteed money.. .but you have to agree to incentives"...... "yeah ok" Doesnt sound like he was actively looking for other places to pitch.

    Canada's not-as-good hybrid-frankenstein version of KFC/Popeye's.
  12. John_Havok
    Interesting that he turned down his half of the 10 Million option, only to be left with 8.5. Sure the Brewers probably decline their part of the mutual option anyways... but it looks kinda weird this way.
  13. John_Havok
    Can we ever really be sure?

    Side note, I love looking at steroid era numbers. Thome with a .997 OPS in 1998 was good for ....21st on the MVP ballot. Thome on 2002 hits 52 HRs, 1.122 OPS...7th on the MVP ballot.
  15. John_Havok
    Yes, Thome left after 2002
  16. John_Havok
    Part of it was towards the end of the steroid era but Hafner had himself a few outstanding seasons from '03 - '07, then basically became the strong side of a platoon after that. I'd love for VLad to put up Hafner's 2006 season in 2024.

    Tony Reagins and Kenny Williams. That's about all the rebuttal that should be needed there. Can't count on the usual idiot GMs in the league this time around either since Preller is in cash-shedding mode.
  18. John_Havok
    That's so lame.
  19. John_Havok
    But a real all star season, not some ******** Espinal all star season
  20. John_Havok
    Well yeah, they'd move any player in "the right deal." A contract like Springer's though, they knew when they signed it there was risk attached not just with the inevitable player decline and injury possibility outcomes, but that the contract would likely be untradeable at at certain point due to those risks. Whether or not that point has arrived is debateable. It's not like every other team can't see the exact same risks. The only way George is traded is if Toronto eats a big chunk of money and trades to a lower spending team. Teams that could actually afford his contract wouldn't be in the market for him. Blair is just pulling stuff out of his ass to get clicks.

    Understand that in the scenario i presented, the Jays had already signed Ohtani to something north of 10 years 500 million.
  22. John_Havok
    Knowing that it might cripple the Jays team 2025 forward? I'm not saying it WOULD do that, just that the chances are definitely higher.
  23. John_Havok
    He is signed through 2030, but is 30 next season and really doesn't have a whole lot of upside. He's likely a complete dud going forward.
  24. John_Havok
    Because Hurl is incredibly racist and hates Greeks.
  25. John_Havok
    Lol yeah, but if there's a better example of an org that has financial flexibility and an already elite roster that could certainly afford to actually spend big one guy.. it would be the Braves. All AA would have to do is sell ownership on the plan to get into the CBT territory this season, and then start pulling a Tampa scenario where he turns over 1 big ticket guy every year(ish) to keep the prospect bin full. It's not like he has a shortage of elite players on very tradeable team friendly deals. Like they could sign Ohtani, and then probably immediately flip Ozuna for a decent haul right away. Morton and Fried both leave via FA after 2024, and youve already paid for Ohtani's salary in 2025 from those 3 guys leaving while recovering assets from the Ozuna deal, and Ohtani replacing 2 of those 3 guys for 2025 on the roster.
