    If going over the luxury tax is not an issue, then yeah $10M for Merrifield isn't a problem. Provides some depth at 2B and in the OF, some speed on the base paths. If an injury happens, he could step in and start over a couple of weeks which won't hurt you. Can't afford to be giving players like Espinal or Tapia ABs on a team with World Series aspirations. If the Jays are worried about going over the luxury tax, then I think that $10M is better utilized elsewhere on the roster. Teo likely gets a 2 year deal or something given his strong finish to the season. Teo would be nice, but this team still needs another elite player who can post 4-5 WAR. You can't rely on Vladdy to be that guy. Can't mess around in 2024.

    Trade for him this offseason. 3B problem solved!

    Yeah No. 1 priority is an elite bat who can produce 4-5 WAR or more. Can't rely on Vladdy to be that guy. Bellinger fits the bill but is going to cost a pretty penny and you have to hope he doesn't turn into a pumpkin again prior like he was in 2021 and 2022. Would trade for Juan Soto if you could get him without having to trade Vladdy. If you need to include Vladdy in a deal, would still do it. Can't mess around in 2024.

    If money isn't an issue, I would definitely bring Stroman in. Shores up the rotation even more in case Kikuchi or some other arms regress a bit. Teoscar is a no brainer as a corner OF bat. A lot of those guys available so Teo or Pederson would be great. Teo since he had success here and was liked in a clubhouse would be ideal though.

    He said Allen is going to win MVP "you heard it here first." I said after last game's performance that he's too erratic and unpredictable, so he won't win. Spanky then asks me who I think will win MVP, which I don't think matters at all. All I said Allen won't win, I never said so and so is going to win over Allen. There is no point in doing a bet like that. If Spanky is so confident about Josh Allen winning MVP, he should put $100 on him on Bet365 or be comfortable making that bet with me.

    Still a lot of money and years to tie up to an aging player. Would rather the Jays use that money elsewhere on the roster. I'm fine with DS and using Biggio part-time at 2B next season or try to acquire an elite 2B. If money is no issue though, then fine bring him back on a 1-year deal for depth purposes.

    Yup exactly. Just get in and take it from there. Gotta love their chances in a short series with their pitching staff. Just need this lineup to score 4-5 runs per game.
  9. jaysblue
    Anger? I'm pouring myself a scotch and smoking a cigar to celebrate! Will take it!

    The team is what they are at this point in the season. Borderline Playoff team. Frustrating to watch and a lot of stupid decisions. But just get in and see what they could do with the pitching they have.

    Blue Jays: win in Extras and two in a row!
  12. jaysblue
    Lets hope the Astros, Mariners and Rangers lose!
  13. jaysblue
    The Jays got lucky they ended up winning this one. A win is a win at the end of the day. But this team needs to really clean up things. So many stupid decisions on the basepaths.
  14. jaysblue
    TSN during their highlights today on SportsCentre said the Jays made 51 or so outs on the bases as a team which leads the AL. Crazy how bad this team is at the fundamentals of base running.
  15. jaysblue
    Haha was ugly but a win is a win. Take it!
  16. jaysblue
    Geez should have tagged there. C'mon Vladdy! John Schneider's face was all red when they showed him haha
  17. jaysblue
    He probably still gets 2/20 or 1/10 as a FA right now. But yeah with the emergence of Schneider, better to save that money and spend elsewhere on the roster.

    Gotta hope the Mariners, Astros and/or Rangers lose tonight.

    Yeah Barker actually has improved greatly. Love his analysis and calls it as he sees it. Starting to like Blair and Barker a lot now. They've both done a great job!
  21. jaysblue
    Do you actually know that to be the case? Any facts? You're making assumptions without any evidence to back it up. But yeah it's a convenient excuse for not blaming Atkins.
  22. jaysblue
    Nice to see Vladdy homering in 3 straight games! Probably the boo's in the Rangers series lighted a fire under him! Hope Vladdy finishes the season strong. Would help the Jays in their fight for the WC most importantly, though at least heading into next season you can feel a little more confident in his abilities to bounce back.
  23. jaysblue
    I was told a couple weeks ago by L54 that Vlad + for Soto was far fetch. Padres might value the extra year of control with Vladdy and still believe he could return to his 2021 form. Soto is leaving San Diego as a FA regardless, so they probably will be more open to moving him. Definitely one of those challenge trades. If you trade Vladdy, you want a player like Soto in return, even if it means one less year of control. If the Jays could land Soto without having to trade Vlad, even better. But doubt the Jays would have the pieces.
  24. jaysblue
    Wonder how much Bellinger gets as a FA this offseason.
  25. jaysblue
    You're probably the most narcissistic poster on this board. There is nothing wrong in criticizing Atkins and the FO. There is nothing wrong in criticizing AA while he was here as well. It's a baseball forum.
