    Rodgers would be a perfect fit on the Titans.

    Yikes if the Yankees add Verlander and Rodon. That rotation!
  3. jaysblue
    Oh wow. Winker could be a nice fit in Milwaukee.
  4. jaysblue
    Worth 1.6 WAR last season. Awesome K-BB ratio.

    I raise my hand haha. Dodgers have the extra resources to give him that type of guaranteed money. They've done well with some reliever reclamation projects like Brandon Morrow and Jimmy Nelson in the past, so not a bad gamble. Especially given the cost of relievers this offseason as well.
  6. jaysblue
    Yeah it does, but Eflin is only 28-years-old, which definitely is an advantage.
  7. jaysblue
    2-0 last season as well. Was on pace to be unbeaten!

    As a No. 5 starter with upside sure! Left handers always pitch better with age as well. If you can get something close to his 2018/2019 seasons, not bad as a No. 5 starter. Definitely worth the risk IMO.
  9. jaysblue
    No state income tax in Florida as well.
  10. jaysblue
    He would have been a nice pickup as a No. 5 starter.
  11. jaysblue
    Nice!

    Hendriks in 2019 was amazing - 3.9 WAR season. Devin Williams has the potential to put up a 3+ WAR season IMO. Diaz in 2018 and this season was amazing as well. Kenley Jansen in 2017 - 109 K's vs. 7 BB in 68.1 innings, 3.4 WAR.

    Yeah not sure we'll ever see another reliever for a while put up a season like Gagne did in 2003.
  14. jaysblue
    Geez Eric Gagne from 2002 to 2004. In 2003, he was perfect in save situations and won the 2003 NL Cy Young. Mark Prior though should have won that season. 0.86 FIP, 4.7 WAR, 14.98 K/9 - Gagne was a beast that season. Do you think we see another reliever put up those numbers out of the BP over a full season?
  15. jaysblue
    I remember Brad Lidge and even Eric Gagne those seasons. They both were beasts. I'm just going by what someone like Diaz got as a FA this offseason. He'll be one year younger than BJ Ryan was when he started his new contract with the Jays. I think someone like Ryan today probably gets 5 years still around $80-90M or something similar to what Diaz got.

    Abreu is a nice addition to that lineup. Coming off a 4 WAR season despite not hitting for much power at all. He has increased his BB% the past two seasons which is nice to see.
  17. jaysblue
    5 years and $47 million gets you someone like Robert Suarez these days haha. That 2005 offseason was fun. Jays brought in BJ Ryan, AJ Burnett, Troy Glaus, Lyle Overbay and Bengie Molina. Yeah the BJ Ryan contract turned out bad. Too bad he couldn't stay healthy. Though his first season here he was lights out and fun to watch close out games. 2.7 WAR in 2006. In 2008, he was still decent but not as sharp or in the same form as he was in 2006. In today's market, a reliever or closer like BJ Ryan probably gets 5 years close to $90-100 million.
  18. jaysblue
    Or T-shirts being sold outside of dome saying the same thing haha.
  19. jaysblue
    $8M on a one-year deal isn't bad. Not a fan of Clevinger, but if he's healthy there is some upside with him. Otherwise he's just a so/so No. 5 starter like we saw last season. Low K's, doesn't pitch deep into games, etc. Any decent starter is probably going to be $12M-15M per. I could see Stripling getting $2/30 minimum.
  20. jaysblue
    Yeah, Belgium didn't look good at all against Canada or Morocco. Looks like Croatia and Morocco will be going through. Canada is still pretty raw as a group. They have potential and with more experience they should get better in the upcoming years.

    I still say Buffalo. As long as they don't beat themselves.
  22. jaysblue
    Roberto Osuna?
  23. jaysblue
    Will be interesting to see how much he gets.
  24. jaysblue
    Not a bad signing as a 1B/DH bat against RHP. He can get on-base still and has some pop left in the bat.
  25. jaysblue
    A lot of the trade does ride on what the Blue Jays do with that extra money they save. If they don't reinvest that money elsewhere on the roster for 2023, then yeah in the short term doesn't look like a huge win. Though doubt the Blue Jays just stand pat and not add another OF by time Opening Day comes around. From a controllability perspective, if Swanson over the next three seasons combines to post 4-5 WAR as a reliever, along with Macko doing something, then the Jays benefit for sure.
