    If we consider this the bookend of the Teo trade... Teoscar Hernandez (15M) gone Kiermeier (12M) + Possible back end pen for 1.5M and a prospect in. Defense = better, pen = better, offense=worse. Are the Jays overall better, worse... or is this a push?

    Completely, the last few seasons are pretty much always a write off, and the team hopes they got enough value in the good years to outweigh it. Votto's has been pretty good. 8 really good years, then last year a pretty big step back. But again, position player. A pitcher could provide absolutely nothing with one injury

    I dunno, i just dont think there are any teams out there willing to hand out Strasburg or David Price money anymore when a guy is 30 years old. They've all seen how that movie ends. I could see a 5 years plus option years, but not 7 guaranteed
  4. John_Havok
    Pitchers though... its far less of a risk on a position player.
  5. John_Havok
    Dude and his agent are certifiably nuts if they think any team is giving him a fully guaranteed 7 year deal. Absolutely crazy He should be in the 5yr/120 range though.

    Just a quick comparison of each players age 24-30 seasons: Thomas 4561 PAs , 247 HRs .321/.441/.592/1.033 OPS+ 173 Judge 3161 PAs, 220 HRs, .284/.394/.583/.977 OPS+ 163 Judge is close, who knows what might have been without a COVID season. Their real differences are in K rate. Judge has K'd at 29%, Thomas only K'd at 11% walk rates are 14.9 for Judge and was 17.7 for Thomas.

    I'd be willing to bet Frank Thomas was pretty close to that weight at that age when he was playing. I know his listed weight never went past 240, but.... yeah I could see him near 275 Frank Thomas is about the best case scenario for Judge through his 30's most likely, which would be pretty well worth the contract. 4 of his 10 seasons where injury riddled, the other 6 were full time. 262 Hrs .276/.389/.515 triple slash.

    Yeah, i wasn't all that thrilled when St Louis let him go, but... what can ya do when ya get Ryan O'Reilly back? Side note, why hasnt Buffalo retired #89 ? I know Mogilny didnt spend a massive ammount of his career there but come on, the guy is a sabres legend.

    Correa will get 10 or 11 at 35 million probably. This offseason is wonderful
  10. John_Havok
    They are. Their fans are entitled pieces of crap though...
  11. John_Havok
    Yeah it was kind of a big deal in the recent CBA negotiations
  12. John_Havok
    And add Hunter Brown, probably.
  13. John_Havok
    Depends on your definition of need. It would highly beneficial to add some left handed un-suck balance to the lineup. Need? Not by the strict definition, but it sure would help.
  14. John_Havok
    It will take the form of a $12MM salary and a $5.5MM buyout on a mutual option for 2024 - sneaky Boras. Gets him his full arb at worst. Either way the mutual option will not be triggered. If he does even remotely well, like.. 2WAR or higher, he opts out, if he's what he was this year or worse, the Cubs opt out.
  15. John_Havok
    If passing on Bellinger at 1 year 17.5 is part of that test, he just passed that section.
  16. John_Havok
    Sure, but a team on the precipice of advancing in the playoffs is looking for more of a sure thing, not a gamble at that price. Cheaper? Sure. Still leaves room for other moves.
  17. John_Havok
    Yeah that's steep for what hes done the past few seasons, but the Cubs can both afford to pay that and have him play everyday on a 1 year deal and hope he does better.
  18. John_Havok
    s*** dude, if you’re buying them they better be hot. Who wants to pay for an ugly.

    My Facebook gets flooded daily with people posting about how we need to really support Canada’s second amendment rights to gun ownership. I can’t even….
  20. John_Havok
    Call me crazy, but…bye bye Martinez.
  21. John_Havok
    Yeah, track record is there for sure, but I dont think its unreasonable to suggest that Verlander might have more injury risk as a 40 year old less than 2 years removed from a TJ surgery vs A guy like Manoah. Scherzer has had his share of nagging injuries too over the past few seasons. I'd be less worried about Scherzer than Verlander though just because of the TJ.
  22. John_Havok
    Saw that yesterday as well, hard to say but i doubt his actual abilities degraded that much. Could just be a blip.
  23. John_Havok
    The fact that Selig is IN the HOF is an even bigger joke than Bonds, Clemens etc not getting in.
  24. John_Havok
    Helluva payday for a 40 year old. Gotta love it.
  25. John_Havok
    ScherLander would be a pretty sweet tandem but man would I be worried about them both dying on the mound. Having your top two arms at 38 and 40 would be slightly terrifying, expecially when youd be paying them 40 million+ each
