    Theyve got a ton of guys coming off the books after this season. Darvish, Snell, Pomeranz and Hader are all FA, not to mention the near certainty of Machado opting out. That's close to 100 million right there.

    Yeah, I think Manoah would be a candidate that they might sign to a deal that might buy out a year or 2 of free agency, it wouldn't be super expensive. Generally dont want to go nuts with pitchers and long term extensions while they are still under control early on. Jansen, sure, but something similar or shorter to what AA just gave Murphy wouldn't be terrible.

    Looking at the Jays entire 40 man roster, 10 are home grown. Manoah, Vlad, Bo, Jansen and Kirk as starters, Romano, Mayza, Biggio, Lopez and Pearson for the bench and relievers. Of that list, really only the first 5 would be anyone you'd worry about wanting to extend, and youd only do it with 1 catcher.

    Hardly. Sano never posted a K rate below 34%. Vlads worst season K rate would have to double to get Sano's best season K rate.

    Only comparable for the Jays was Alomar, he retired in 2005, jersey # retired in 2011 along with his HoF induction. Alomar and Doc are the only two #'s retired by the Jays. The rest are just level of excellence. Kinda seems like the Jays wait until there's a HoF announcement before they retire a #.

    17 Blue Jay players have worn #32, Most notably of course the Doc, Roy Halladay from 1999 through 2009. The first player to wear it was Don Kirkwood in 1978 and the last player to wear #32 for the Jays was Scott Diamond in 2016. The # is now retired of course, because Roy Halladay was the best pitcher in Blue Jays history, but sucked at flying while high.

    34 days until pitchers and catcher report... so.... pretty much yeah. Tigers are bringing in the CF fence, and making their OF fences shorter this season too. That will be a nice 15 second convo

    Well, his quote didn't say he would be the DH most of the time, just that he would mostly DH, meaning the majority of his PAs will come as a DH. It doesnt say how many PAs he was led to believe he would get. I suspect he's really just a hedge against a Jansen and/or Kirk injury, which seems inevitable.

    For all the teams crying poor: MLB sets new record for league revenue in 2022, pulling in estimated $10.8 billion Much of MLB's revenue stems from TV deals https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2023/01/10/mlb-sets-new-revenue-record-exceeding-108-billion-for-2022/?sh=5dfc1cdc77ee

    I'm sure glad they mutilated me. Who the f*** would want to go through that kind of pain later on in life when you could remember it?

    Tapia was DFA, Biggio wasn't. Seems they learned from their mistake.

    Reattaching foreskin is the new black.

    I knew it... you finally got your Botox done?
  17. John_Havok
    Naw, dont you remember? AJ Burnett is and always will be a .500 pitcher.

    Where do you see this?

    I think the run differential will be the telling stat this season. Runs scored should be relatively close to last year, but the run prevention should be markedly better. Remember, wRC+ is relative to league average if the run environment goes up, the Jays could feasibly score about the same amount of runs and still drop in wRC+ depending on the rest of the league.

    That’s just it, Vlad needs to get that it doesn’t need to be him doing everything. He hasn’t got there yet.
  21. John_Havok
    Probably trying to decide if he wants to extend his career another year or two as a reliever, or just pack it in.
  22. John_Havok
    Could be, but if its within 5 points... kind of push really.
  23. John_Havok
    Elevation... 5 feet
  24. John_Havok
    For total run output, I'd say it will relatively the same. However, I expect a more consistent offense that doesn't go to sleep for a week to 10 days at a time, then goes red hot for 2 series.
  25. John_Havok
    Aren’t the Jays already at 40 on the roster? Who gets the DFA to make room?
