Yeah it's like making a trade deadline deal but a couple of months earlier and it's only costing money. Plus the Jays can monitor his recovery during this time as well.
-
Cut my prospects to open up slots and main roster is legal. No non-red flag players on IL. Did same for BORED as well.
-
Yeah sad day for the NFL. As a fan of Tom Brady, wish he could have played forever but we knew this day was going to come. He still played very well this season but yeah sad he couldn't go out on top. Thought he could have easily played for another 2-3 seasons but in the end he accomplished everything a starting QB would want to accomplish during their careers. Don't think we'll see a better QB in our lifetime.
-
So we need to make room on our minor league roster for the picks? As for main roster, it has to be legal correct?
-
Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw make it on the first ballot. Greinke it will take a couple of years but I think he'll get in.
-
Yeah Halladay is the better arm, no denying that. Had a more dominant career and more dominant years than Greinke. Also, Doc pitched in the AL East majority of his peak and then in the NL East, whereas Greinke pitched in the AL Central, NL Central and then NL West. Pitched in some favorable pitching parks during his peak.
-
Great signing. Definitely worth the risk IMO. Green is one of the elite pen arms in the game when healthy.
-
San Francisco could be in the market now for either Brady with Purdy requiring surgery after a torn UCL in his elbow. Might not be a bad idea to offer Brady a one-year contract and have Lance/Purdy rest up another year and learn under Brady.

Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)

Inglett in 2008. Scutaro had a real solid year for the Jays in 2009. -

Yeah I never looked at baseball through a business lens as I did later on. In 1998, was a young fan and probably was like that until 2008. Heck even when Frank Catalanotto wasn't brought back after 2006, was kind of sad. -
I think just those three arms you mentioned. Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw likely will retire around the same time. For position players, Pujols and Molina retired last season. Miguel Cabrera after 2023 and Joey Votto possibly can retire after this season or next.
-
Pretty much on par with Doc in terms of a comparable. Doc had more dominant seasons where he was the best in baseball, though Greinke was still one of the elite arms in the game and had longevity. Completely forgot about his gold gloves as well.
-
Do you think he's a first ballot Hall of Famer?
-
Greinke didn't get the hype like Verlander, Kershaw and Scherzer, though he definitely was one of the top elite starters during the last decade when you look at the numbers. He had a really solid career when all is said and done which I think is HOF worthy.
-
Greinke was definitely a model of consistency. His 2009 season is probably his only standout/special season (8.7 WAR), though otherwise he was a consistent 4-5 WAR pitcher every season, pitching over 200 innings with solid ratios. For most of his career, he stayed healthy as well. Career 65.5 WAR and he's close to 3000K's. Likely needs to pitch two more seasons to reach the 3000K milestone unless he strikes out 120 this upcoming season. I think he should be HOF worthy. Not a first ballot but he should make his way on at some point.
-
Yeah exactly. Profar is a nice piece, but he definitely is kind of stuck in limbo. Probably pushing for a bigger contract, guaranteed starting role/ABs and wants to play on a contender. Though a contending team is unlikely to use him as a starting corner OF. I'm sure even on a contender, Profar could get 400-500ABs due to him being able to play all over. But yeah, wouldn't go multiple years on him.

Yeah I don't get that emotional about players being traded or leaving via FA, though those three leaving for sure hurt as a Jays fan. Especially since I was younger when Green and Delgado left. I think if the Jays got a good return on Halladay, wouldn't have felt that sour but yeah. -
Yeah agreed. It was the right call.
-
Surprised Profar is still available, though heard a lot of teams are put off by his asking price.

It's Joe Inglett. He actually put together a nice half season for the Jays in 2008 I remember. -
Phillies signed Josh Harrison to a one-year deal worth $2M. Nice bench depth and at a good price.
-
Wacha isn't getting 2 years, $30 million. He'll likely have to settle for $20M over two years now.
-
Bengals IMO were the better team and played better. Some questionable calls during the game yeah. That last penalty where Mahomes was pushed after being out of bounds yeah was a late hit on him. Tough not to call that. Eagles are a much better team, though KC has SuperBowl experience on their side. I'll still lean with the Eagles though.
-
Haha me neither. Knowing my luck if I ever made a big bet like that I'll lose. I just bet $50 on them to win.

Shawn Green was my favourite player when I was a kid. Definitely that 1998 season with Clemens, Green, Delgado, Canseco got me into baseball.
