    Kyle Gibson 2.4 WAR this season Chris Bassitt 1.4 WAR this season Jays still owe Bassitt over $40M for the next two seasons; Gibson is a FA Bassitt has been decent this season, nothing spectacular. At best he's an alright No. 3 but he's mostly a No. 4 starter. I do think the Jays did overpay given his age but at least he's been decent. More worried about Year 2 and 3 with him. Would rather have that $40M freed up but oh well.

    You jinxed it by calling a first place team the Shitbirds!

    Definitely would welcome back Tea in a heartbeat. I think he would be great for the clubhouse since everyone loved him and he's used to hitting at the Rogers Centre. He gives the Jays a big RHB with power and who could go on a hot streak for the final two months.

    Kyle Gibson has produced a 2.4 WAR thus far this season. He actually was a nice pickup for them, despite you and others crapping on the Orioles. Gibson has been a win better than Bassitt, and the Orioles don't have to worry about paying Bassitt $40M+ still over the next two seasons.

    Yeah that's how it is on here. Jays could still catch the Rays and Orioles but other teams can't catch the Jays lol.
  6. jaysblue
    Hopefully the Yankees don't get Arenado! Hoping he goes to the Dodgers if anywhere
  7. jaysblue
    Are those two going to amount to anything anyways? If the Jays don't make trades like this, they'll never improve and go deep into the Postseason. Hicks was a great add given the bullpen situation especially with Romano out!

    That was AA's first big move and it had to come right after he took over the GM seat, which is no easy task. Travis d'Arnaud turned to be decent but yeah he was traded. Gose was traded for Devon Travis I believe but sucks injuries ended his career. Yeah no stud or anything. Atkins didn't have to trade a franchise player for prospects when he took on the job. He actually was reluctant to as they botched the timing for JD and got nothing after. Atkins has never had to made a trade where he trades a superstar for prospects.

    Boom!

    Lmao making me do all the work now FFS! I think it was like only $20 but yeah you said you bet the Mariners would finish ahead of the Rangers still and we bet. I guess it would be in the Around Baseball thread. I'll try to find it.
  13. jaysblue
    Should I drop him in the LOD?
  14. jaysblue
    Rangers looking like they will finish ahead of Seattle. Can't wait to cash in on that bet with Stangstag. I should have got better odds after deGrom went on the IL haha
  15. jaysblue
    Lmao he's been the Cards closer for over a month now. He's pitched in high leverage situations.
  16. jaysblue
    Great add with Hicks! Props to Atkins for adding a high K arm who can close games and pitch multiple innings if need be. Love the move!
  17. jaysblue
    Yeah I approve this move by Atkins. Hicks can be a lockdown BP arm and can pitch multiple innings if needed. Nice insurance since Romano is on the IL and could move back to an 8th inning role when Romano gets back. Also, once Green comes back, this back end of the bullpen can look good. Glad Atkins went after a solid arm. Go after Hader now as well haha
  18. jaysblue
    Yeah if Jays don't remain competitive and go all full rebuild, attendance would take a hit down the road. Especially at the prices now being charged for tickets lol.
  19. jaysblue
    Wonder where Verlander goes now.
  20. jaysblue
    I can't believe I'm coming back here for advice after that disastrous Bellinger/Sale trade. In a 20 team dynasty league, who would you take: OF Kerry Carpenter or SP Dane Dunning?
  21. jaysblue
    Yeah Hader would fill the role like Miller did with Cleveland in 2016. That's what the Blue Jays need. Hader filled that role before when he was with the Brewers as well. I would leave Romano where he is. As for Bednar, love the control that comes with him but moving him out of his closers role I'm not a big fan of. We've seen guys traded and taken out of the closers role suck with their new clubs. Either way, adding another elite pen arm should be the priority.
  22. jaysblue
    Yeah he can be and I hope he is, but putting all your eggs in one basket hoping Green is that guy comes with risk. He's coming back from injury and we've seen arms sometimes take a while to settle in. Doesn't hurt adding another elite bullpen arm at the deadline.
  23. jaysblue
    Yeah adding Hader or Bednar would really solidify this pen. Plus getting Green back as well, Jays would have a lockdown pen in the late innings with Green, Bednar or Nader and Romano. Wish they made a deal like that either in 2021 or 2022.

    I'm not going to comment about possible reasons why because if I state a possible reason, likely will result in a ban. Hope he can have a full recovery. It would be a cool thing to see LeBron play with his son at some point in the next couple of years and hope that could still happen.
  25. jaysblue
    Yeah we can say that about any player. Add a couple more hits, home runs, and their numbers look a lot better lol. His power outage has gone on for over a year now. He's just become a slap/single hitter who isn't even hitting for a high average. He's still getting on-base at a decent clip and I've praised him on that even months ago when he was struggling. I just find it appalling that so many posters on here have a lovefest with Kirk and think he's a top tier player. He's been a huge disappointment this season with the bat. And to be honest I'm concerned moving forward. Offensively, if Kirk can be like Gregg Zaun with the bat, would take that in a heartbeat. Right now Kirk is just looking like a .250/.330/.330 guy which isn't good enough.
