He'll probably still become the highest paid player in baseball even with the pitching injury. Aaron Judge signed a 9-year/$360M contract last offseason, which works out to $40M base salary every season. Ohtani easily should get a $50M base salary even just as a hitter. He probably signs for 10-12 years most likely, so he'll get longer term than Judge. Probably will be a clause in his contract that if he pitches again, he can receive performance bonuses starting in 2025 for how many starts, innings pitched etc.

If the Leafs don't win a Stanley Cup in the next five years, they never will. You have one of the best cores in place in Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Taveras, Reilly etc. Gotta hope they could go on a big run. So far I've liked Treliving's moves this offseason adding some toughness in Bertuzzi and Domi without sacrificing offense. As well, signing Matthews to this extension at least gives the Leafs a clear direction and stability over the next 5 years as they know they have their best player to build around.

Great deal for both sides IMO. Matthews is here for another 5 seasons, so that gives the Leafs a window to hopefully make some noise in the Playoffs. You'll still have Matthew in his prime years so no worries about his age or any regression. Also, gives Brad Treliving enough of a window to build this team into a Stanley Cup contender via free agents, trades and draft picks. Matthews only signs a 4 year-extension so nothing crazy long term like 8-10 years. He'll become a FA by the age of 30, so he'll still have an opportunity to earn big money and a contract if he keeps up his high level of play and especially if the NHL raises the salary cap which by then will definitely be more. As well, gives Matthews one last chance to try to lead the Leafs to the Promise Land. If he fails, he can leave and sign somewhere else. If he wins here in Toronto, he'll likely earn a huge payday after from the Leafs or another team once he becomes a FA.

Even prayers from Joseph Gordon-Levitt can't save them.

Mets suck haha. But yeah Morton is rock solid even at his age.
-
I still think he'll become the highest paid player in baseball, even if he can't pitch for a year or two. But yeah definitely did cost himself possibly 200 million or so if he can never pitch again.

FFS that's awful! As a baseball fan, this sucks big time!

Metafour said Espinal is a better hitter, so we're all good! -
f*** Richards gave up 5ER? I have him in 3 leagues FFS!

I went out to smoke a cigar, what did I miss?

Bird s***
-
They really could. And a 2009 Aaron Hill.
-
Worst team in baseball. I'm burning my Adam Lind jersey.

I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigar.

I did a player prop parlay on strikeouts with Gausman, Kershaw and Chris Sale. f*** Sale might screw me.
-
107 pitches for Gausman geez. I thought Schneider always took guys out early haha
-
Spanky just doesn't study our Fantasy Baseball league rules, he also remembers dates of players birthdays!
-
Also, loves to ground into double plays haha
-
Also a great blocker!
-
It's just his third season here lol.
-
Yeah that lineup was brutal, especially in the early going. They needed another two big power bats for that lineup. Adam Dunn would have been a perfect fit. But he didn't like baseball lol. I remember even Mike Wilner went on the radio numerous times saying the Jays should sign Barry Bonds haha. That 2008 team with Halladay and Burnett along with that bullpen would have been scary in the Postseason. Rostering all those scrubs in the early going and not improving the lineup in-season really cost them.

Yeah if you could sign Teo to a one-year deal, that would be perfect. He probably wants to build back his value and Toronto would be a perfect place for him. -
Yeah the Springer contract now isn't looking that good, especially if it will tie up the Jays FO from making other moves via free agency or trades in 2024 and 2025. Otherwise, gotta give Springer a mulligan on this season and hope he bounces back next season. Need him to be a 3-4 WAR outfielder moving forward and that contract won't be that bad.
-
I was thinking the same thing the other night, drawing parallels from the 2008 Jays to the 2023 team, though still completely different rosters. The 2023 team is far superior on paper. Pitching wise, both teams had great rotations and BPs. 2008 team lost both McGowan and Marcum to injuries but Halladay and Burnett were one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball. In terms of the lineup, the 2008 Jays had scrubs playing whereas the 2023 lineup has more fire power and actual elite players. That 2008 team ran out players like Brad Wilkerson, Shannon Stewart, Kevin Bench, David Eckstein, and Rod Barajas. It was pretty bad haha.

Nice catch by Springer but damn that throw sucked!
