    Double Chance is a great category to do a 3-4 game parlay with. Pick either team to win and you get some good odds. Just hope the game doesn't go into OT. So far have been successful on 3 of 4 those type of bets. If you can get the odds down to -100 something, not bad.

    I thought it was because of the snow storm/freezing rain tonight/tomorrow around the GTA which is why they moved it up, but couldn't find anything.

    Red sign Wil Myers to a one-year deal. Hitting in that bandbox should help his numbers a bit.

    2PM puck drop today. Weird start time haha.

    Eovaldi would definitely be a clear upgrade and as Jonn mentioned in the Postseason he has experience as a dominant multi-inning reliever which is intriguing. Whereas Cueto or Kluber really would have no use on the Postseason roster unless there is an injury or two to one of the guys ahead of him. You can never have enough pitching, though if Eovaldi is going to cost just a couple million more than Kluber/Cueto, better just to spend the extra money on getting him.
  7. jaysblue
    Kluber or Cueto
  8. jaysblue
    Better to spend $10-12M on Kluber or Cueto IMO.
  9. jaysblue
    Kluber would be my main target as the No. 5 guy. 3.0 WAR last season, experience pitching in the AL and the AL East. 3.57 FIP last season and made 31 starts. 7.63 K/9 last season which was low for him but in 2021 posted a 9.23 K/9 with the Yankees, so I think he could fall somewhere in the middle. Probably will cost $10-12M on a one-year deal and could always include an option. Plus, Shapiro/Atkins connection. Would solidify the rotation perfectly IMO. Gausman Manoah Bassitt Berrios Kluber Depth: Kikuchi White + others Rotation built well for a 162 game season and if injuries occur, will be able to weather the storm over a short or extended period if need be without scrambling.
  10. jaysblue
    Cueto or Kluber would be my picks. Shapiro/Atkins can probably lure in Kluber because of their days in Cleveland. Don't think Greinke would come here.
  11. jaysblue
    You only bring in an extra arm for depth purposes, but yeah I don't see there being much of a difference between White and Wacha in 2023. Not sure its worth paying Wacha as a No. 5 when you can target a better arm. Maybe someone like Cueto or Kluber can be an upgrade to the rotation as a No. 5 starter. Better to target one of them IMO.
  12. jaysblue
    Yeah exactly. That's why I don't like condos at all, only if you purchase pre-construction and hold a unit short term. As well, properties get a tax reassessment in Florida correct? So for example lets say that property was assessed $100K five years ago and then you paid $350-400K for it this year, property tax rate increases big time.

    Hendricks would definitely take this bullpen from good to elite. I would definitely be open to moving Jansen for him especially if the White Sox kicked in some extra cash. Like Glory said, his 2024 option becomes guaranteed so it's like having Hendriks on a 2/$29M contract which in today's market is very good. Nothing long term which is nice and gives the Jays one of the best elite BP arms in the games over the next two seasons, when they're trying to contend for a World Series.
  14. jaysblue
    Yeah condo market in Florida is still relatively cheap, depending on where you buy. Anything with an ocean view though is quite expensive haha.
  15. jaysblue
    Yeah Florida market should always remain strong since there are so many buyers from other parts of the States and Canada and elsewhere in the world. Prices haven't cooled down that much since last Spring.
  16. jaysblue
    Yeah prices returned to 2018/2019 levels pre-COVID. I think they will stay the same for another year or so. Seems like everything is going back to normal. More immigration coming in, interest rates should pause I think, and people will start looking to buy again especially in the GTA. Probably will see a bit of a bump in 2024/2025.
  17. jaysblue
    They already have for sure. A lot of properties over $2 million back in February/March took the biggest hit, especially outside of the GTA.
  18. jaysblue
    Depends on how much money you can put down, what you could lock in at and if you could get a deal on a property. For example, a lot of bungalows or back splits in Mississauga/Toronto were selling for $1.8M-2M almost back in February, now you can get them for about $1.3-1.5M. Anything outside of the GTA dropped drastically since February/March. Pretty much prices returned to pre-Covid levels so 2018/2019 prices. I don't see the Bank of Canada raising interest rates any higher but who knows. If you have money in the bank, and could put a good chunk down, it's not a bad time to buy. But yeah its unpredictable.
  19. jaysblue
    Yeah, free agent market now is pretty bone dry. Some solid guys still available like Conforto, Profar, and some pitchers/relievers, but all the elite talent is gone. Maybe Giants look at the trade market to make a big move. Definitely a big PR hit though. Imagine some fans who bought season seats or flex packs based on the Giants spending big money this offseason.
  20. jaysblue
    Crazy turn of events. Mets are crazy.
  21. jaysblue
    If you think Drury was for real in 2022 and could continue close to those numbers, this was a good signing.

    Anyone with Bet 365, there is a 30% extra Profit Boost on Lightning/Maple Leafs same game parlay.
  23. jaysblue
    Shocked no Chapman or Kirk haha.
  24. jaysblue
    Yeah I don't think there is a rush to move one of their catchers unless the right deal comes along. A lot could still happen from now until Opening Day. If a team loses their No. 1 catcher during ST, first team they'll call is likely the Jays.
  25. jaysblue
    Yeah given this years market, if Machado has another season like he did in 2022, he gets a 8/$220M deal eyes closed.
