The Playoffs for the Leafs will be easy to make.

Blue Jays Reportedly In Agreement With Yariel Rodríguez
jaysblue replied to z3r0s's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If Rodriguez could either be like a Jose Contreras as a SP or Raisel Iglesias as a reliever, I'll take that in a heartbeat. -

Kim can be a FA after 2024 because of the 2025 mutual option. Hope is you could extend him. Even if you can't I would still consider it. Kim could post a 4-5 WAR season and provides depth in case the Jays decide to trade Bo. -

I'll have to agree with Jonn and Term here. If you can land Kim for Manoah, you have to do it. Manoah comes with way more risk moving forward and Kim has just posted seasons of 3.7 and 4.4 WAR. -
Adam Duvall would be a great fit in Toronto.
-
Leafs are like the Cowboys of football lol.
-
Called it saying Tampa could upset the Eagles. Wish I included them in my bets though haha
-
If anyone wants tickets for the Chiefs/Bills game next weekend let me know.
-
Cowboys could really use Bill Belichick. Cowboys are chokers when it comes to the Playoffs. Was right on the possible upset, wish I just had my bets that way as well lol. Love and the Packers though put on a clinic and played awesome. Would have been tough to beat. Wonder if they can give the 49ers a tough time, but I think San Fran at home dominates them.
-
Definitely a great game! Could have went either way. Really think the refs missed that pass interference/holding call at the end there, which would have given the Rams a 1st down and put them in better FG territory. Clearly his jersey was grabbed. The NFL wanted Detroit to go through. Rams defense couldn't make the stops they needed. As well, shocked they never used their timeout at a 2:30 minute mark when it was 2nd and 9.

Frenchsoup isn't even an entertaining or funny troll. It's just spam posts. -
Really hope the Jays and Chapman could have a reunion if his price range now is in the $80-100M range. Can't pass up on that opportunity.
-
Reading posts justifying IKF as the primary 3B = puke
-
Saw the Detroit Tigers picked up Shelby Miller in late December for $3M. Nice pickup. Loved him last offseason as well as a high upside BP arm and he went on to post a 1.71 ERA and 0.91 WHIP and 42 K's in 42 innings with the Dodgers last season.

My picks for this weekend: - Browns over Texans - Chiefs over Dolphins - Bills over Steelers - Cowboys over Packers - Rams over Lions - Eagles over Bucs I think both the Browns/Texans and Rams/Lions are a coin flip. Browns have the best defense and an experienced QB in Flacco, though Stroud and the Texans are at home and an exciting team. Rams have played great football as of late and are playing in a weather controlled environment which helps. Lions can be tough at home though. Should be a fun game regardless. Taking the odds on the Rams though. If I had to pick some upsets, could see the Packers upsetting the Cowboys, since Dallas always chokes in the Playoffs and the Bucs upsetting the Eagles, since they're playing at home and the Eagles have looked awful. As much as I hate Kansas City, I think they beat the Dolphins easily. Can't see Miami going into the cold weather in KC and the Dolphins have played very poorly against teams with a winning record. Bills should crush the Steelers. Only way they lose is if they beat themselves.

My team is already crap and I don't even have room for him.
-
Definitely comfortable with Chapman between $80-$100M. Add someone like Soler or JDM or Hoskins alongside with Chapman, that's a solid offseason IMO.

The Yankees could still spend money on Snell, Montgomery or Hader. The luxury tax to them doesn't exist. Money to them is no object. Like DP said, the Yankees still do come with some risk. If a lot of their key guys go down, then things could get ugly. I don't see them as a 95-win team but hey they're the Yankees and it could happen. If they beat up on some bad teams and bank some early wins, makes things easier for them the rest of the way. I still have them as a borderline WC team around the 88-90 win range, but they could very well win 95+ if they stay healthy or they could also be a .500 team if things go wrong. You could even say the same thing about the Blue Jays.

I'm picking him up in the LOD.
-
Hicks is only 27 though, has plus-plus stuff, coming off a very good season as a high leverage reliever and the Giants are going to experiment with him again in the rotation, so it's different. If Hicks sticks in the rotation and puts up 2-3 WAR seasons as a starter or better, Giants have a bargain over those 4 years. Blue Jays weren't ever going to experiment with Hicks in the rotation. If he has to return back to the bullpen, they likely still get a 1 - 1.5 WAR reliever if he stays healthy. Even at the end of his contract, Hicks will only be 31-32 years-old. Green on the other hand is coming off a major injury and is 32-years-old. Obviously you wouldn't go 4 years with someone like Chad Green.
-
I wonder if others said the same thing about Gausman and Rodon when they both went to the Giants.
-
Yeah I like the deal both for the Giants and Hicks. San Fran has had great success with SPs who have good stuff, in their late 20's and who are looking to bounce back. Look at examples of Kevin Gausman, Carlos Rodon, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, etc. Hicks at $11M AAV isn't that bad at all. If he fails as a starter, you just convert him back to being a high leverage reliever.

I think majority of the posters on here have said the same thing. Not groundbreaking top secret stuff like this Andrew Havok thinks it is. -
Yeah if the Jays are going to manage most games like they did in Game 2, they need to build on their strong bullpen. Hader definitely would be a nice replacement over Hicks and even better. As well with the bullpen, we can't assume and expect every BP arm from last season to repeat their success in 2024. Bullpen arms are volatile from year-to-year.
-
Yeah Yankees will be tougher and better than last season. Even stated that several times over the summer and early fall. You can never count them out, especially after a rough 2023 season, you knew they were going to make some big moves. Adding Soto, along with Verdugo, Grisham and Stroman isn't bad. Their rotation of Cole, Cortes, Stroman, Schmidt, and Rodon is very good. If Rodon is healthy and returns to his 2021/2022 form, watch out. All they really need is a 3B like Chapman and add to their pen, then they are pretty much set.
