Shocked Tyler Anderson with a QO attached got a 3-year/$40 million deal this early but hey its the Angels. Not shocked to see Perez and Pederson accept. If they go out and have solid seasons in 2023, with no strings attached, they both can likely get 2-3 year deals after from a team.

Haha he had an amazing game! Great to see him step up like that. Bucks screwed me last night though.

Raptors were still big favourites as well. Put them in a parlay last night and as I was watching the game was like shoot they're missing Siakam, Fred, Precious, Trent Jr. haha got worried. Glad they were able to pull out a win last night.

Luke Wilson on TSN was right on the Bills from Day One, and the game yesterday further proved his point. Even during their wins this season, they have played sloppy and really never played a full solid 60 minutes of football. This team has brain lapses either in the third or fourth quarter. The Bills easily could be 9-0. They could and should have beat the Dolphins, Jets and Vikings. Also, in their wins, some of their games shouldn't have been that close as they were. Like even against the Packers, they gave Green Bay life in the second half and made it closer than it should have been. The plus is we're heading into Week 11, so for the Bills this is the best time for this to happen. Clean up their football and work on some of the fundamentals before the Playoffs. The Bills are still IMO the most talented team in the NFL all around. They need to clean up their football down the stretch or else they're getting pounced early in the Playoffs. Plus Home Field Advantage throughout is vital so it's important they don't lose anymore regular season games. Only way the Bills lose in the Playoffs is if they beat themselves, which is what they've done in all of their losses.

Would rather sign an arm like Kimbrel or Jansen to a 1-year contract worth $10-12M which is what the estimates are rather than 3 years on Montero at 34M.

I think the Padres and Astros really outbid themselves. I don't see any other team offering Suarez and Montero those types of contracts. Mets went all in with Diaz, and I while wouldn't be comfortable signing him to that type of contract, though he's on a different level at least than those two.

Such an awful deal. The dude posted a 6.49 ERA in 2021 and every season other than 2019 and 2022, had an ERA above 4. Really think the Astros overbid themselves. He's not worth $11M+ per season especially with his shaky track record. I guess those 14 saves helped jack up his price.

I don't expect Manoah to have another season with an ERA in the low 2's or under 3 for that matter. His ERA is likely more between 3.50-4 next season. 4.11 ERA isn't that crazy of a projection. I expect Berrios to cut down his ERA and return to the high 3's/low 4's. Dodgers pitchers aren't really anything special. They don't have a true elite SP other than Urias and even still he's outperformed his ERA thus far. May is likely their best arm next season. I would buy low on Corbin.

All for this. Heaney reminds me a lot like the Jays going after Happ during the 2015/2016 offseason.

Nah, a lot better value on the market IMO.

Stripling at 2 years/$18 million or even 3 isn't too bad. Total would be $27M. Half the cost of Bassitt. I don't mind the Jays signing Thor on a reasonable 1-year deal to be the No. 5 starter. Gives the Jays some rotation depth at least.. Benitendi or Brantley would be a nice fit in this lineup. I wouldn't go more than 4 years on Benitendi. Brantley on a one year deal for around $12-15M is actually not that bad at all. No long term commitment. Not a fan of Clevinger anymore as well. Probably could sign Thor for less. Montero and Estevez aren't going to drastically improve the pen. Go after Rogers and that's all you need. Jays have enough arms like Montero and Estevez. They need to sign a difference maker.

Yeah I don't think Rizzo will accept even though he probably should.

Yeah I don't think Pederson gets anything close to $20M per year on the open market. He likely accepts. Anderson, Bassitt and Perez have a tough decision to make. They likely can get multi-year deals but nowhere near 20M AAV.

Think anyone of those guys accepts?

Terminator popping a bottle of bubbly tonight and after is going streaking!

If he can pitch like Andrew Miller, for sure!

Yup. I don't think Suarez gets that on the open market at all. Don't understand the logic behind it.

No. Just the Padres are stupid.

I was at that game as well in August 2005. I think Dave Bush was pitching haha.

O'Neill is only under control for two more seasons and is a corner OF. Kirk is way more valuable. Hicks isn't enough to sway the deal for the Jays. Jansen for O'Neill IMO would be a great trade if it could happen!

Only Astros arm I would trade Kirk for is either Javier or Framber. Which we know won't happen. Garcia and U are nothing special. Jansen maybe for one of those guys + another arm, but would rather trade Jansen for a guy like Tyler O'Neill who has shown he's capable of being a 5-6 WAR player. Can either sign an arm similar to Garcia or trade Teo/Lourdes for a similar value SP afterwards.

Jays also have Pearson and Merryweather. Hicks doesn't move the needle anymore given his recent struggles, injuries and inconsistency. I would take a flier on him, but then roster space will start becoming an issue.

I meant Moreno + only. Nothing significant added though. Shouldn't have to add anything with Kirk.

Jansen for O'Neill is probably more than enough, with the Jays maybe throwing something else the Cards way.

I don't understand what's funny haha. Cards won't want Jansen for Noot.
