    Also, I think the WBC shouldn't always be hosted in the US mainly, but I understand why it is. Money and to get more MLB players to play. In terms of fairness, why can't the WBC Semis and Finals be held in Tokyo one year? A lot of Asian teams like Japan are at a disadvantage when they have to come to the US after in terms of time difference/jet-lag. Like the US team played all their games in Houston and Miami. Not fair or equitable. I would like to see the USA have to play in Japan and win a WBC Championship. Japan has 3 times on American soil. Pretty much team USA has the easiest schedule always in terms of always playing in the US, where other teams have to travel across different time zones or play in different countries.

    Nothing wrong with shorter term deals on some vets if the price is right. You don't have to sign every arm to 5+ years. We even saw this past offseason, guys like Framber, King, and many other signing 3-year-deals or less. Only two pitchers who signed 5+ were Ranger Suarez and Dylan Cease. If you were a team, nothing wrong going year-to-year with a vet like Woodruff or Ray.

    Luzardo would have been nice, but Phillies locked him up already. Otherwise, there is Peralta, Alcantara, Woodruff, Rogers, Ray, Mize, Bubic, Rasmussen, or Pivetta (could opt out).

    If Reed Johnson is in the Top 50 - I believe Catalanotto should be with him, since from 2003-2006, they both formed one of the best LF platoons in baseball. Ray won the Cy Young in 2021, but yeah wasn't here for that long. Morrow when healthy was one of the most dominant starters in baseball - shame he couldn't stay healthy. Pillar made some highlight reel catches in CF for a couple years, but he was nothing special. Escobar had an up/down career when with Toronto, but was an exciting pitcher to watch when "on" and he was here for 6 years. Romero's story is quite cool - drafted ahead of Tulo, flamed out as a prospect but came out of nowhere in 2009 and was a solid arm for 2-3 seasons.

    The only teams that likely could give Skubal a $400-500M contract if they want to are the Mets, Yankees, Blue Jays and Dodgers. Yankees/Mets have the money to spend big and likely will be wanting to add an elite arm. Blue Jays have shown they're willing to fork out monster deals for the right players in previous offseason's - Ohtani, Soto, Tucker - and Skubal definitely is in that group. Dodgers rotation is already crowded and likely would have to trade some arms, but never count them out. I don't see any other teams getting involved with Skubal at those years and dollar figures. Phillies resigned Luzardo, so don't seem them at all being a dark horse anymore. Also, will be interesting if the Pirates entertain trading Skenes next offseason.

    What would Yesavage be capped at for regular season + postseason innings? 160 innings?
  7. jaysblue
    I know a lot of Irish/Italians. Very common here.
  8. jaysblue
    You probably have more Italian blood in you Jay than some of the players on the team :P
  9. jaysblue
    Hopefully the Italians pull off a miracle!

    Rooting for the DR tonight! US overall haven't looked that dominant. This semifinals will probably be the Finals. Whoever wins - DR or US - likely beats Venezuela or Italy.
  11. jaysblue
    Jays likely to monitor his workload early on. Jays are building up Yesavage slowly: just threw a 35-pitch simulation on March 11 and scheduled for more work on March 16. Hasn't appeared in any Grapefruit League games.
  12. jaysblue
    I think the Jays should be fine if things stay the way they are with the current starting five. Plus Yesavage should be ready by some point soon. Another injured arm, and things start to look a bit more worrisome.
  13. jaysblue
    Still some FA arms available. Shocked no team has signed Giolito yet. Corbin, Anderson, Montas, Nestor Cortes. Not much left.
  14. jaysblue
    Yeah hard to believe. Every Opening Day since Gaus signed here, the Jays have always went with Berrios and Manoah once back in 2023.

    If Vladdy plays like this during the regular season, he's capable of hitting 50+ HR's and having an MVP type season. October + WBC has been real encouraging. Let's hope Vladdy is no longer just a 20-25 HR guy during the regular season

    Yeah don't want to hear it from all the Americans after on how they beat Canada again. As long as Mark Carney doesn't make a stop down in Miami to take batting practice with the Canadian team for photo ops, I like our chances.
  18. jaysblue
    Yeah would have been nice having Pivetta, Freeman, Cade Smith, Sabrowksi, Tong, and Brash on the roster this year. The team put themselves in a real good spot winning their pool and playing in the Quarter Finals. It's a shame they don't have a full roster of guys that could play, but oh well.
  19. jaysblue
    Same haha.
  20. jaysblue
    Yeah would like Mexico to win 4-3 or 3-2 whatever. Canada against Italy in the quarters have a chance.
  21. jaysblue
    Lets go Italy!
  22. jaysblue
    The Americans are sweating!
  23. jaysblue
    So Canada either plays Mexico/Italy or USA next round.
  24. jaysblue
    Hope Italy makes it through!

    They should probably choose an indoor venue next time. Seems like it rains in PR all the time. Would be nice to see the WBC again at the Rogers Centre. Would probably be a big draw.
