    Of course they've played amazing, they're 6-1 haha. I'm just saying there are some times during games where they make stupid and frustrating mistakes that likely could have a bigger impact against a top team in the NFL Playoffs or SuperBowl, though during the regular season they get away with. Bills will only beat themselves if they lose in the Playoffs. Otherwise, from watching this team, they're definitely the best team in the NFL right now. Only team really that is a threat would be the Chiefs. No other team in the NFC really scares me.

    Jays definitely tender him a contract for 2023, even if his salary is going to be around $15M. His trade value however is probably limited unless a team who is looking to contend and is in dire needs a corner OF power bat. I think Teo bounces back big in 2023. It's a contract year and I think we might see some new career highs in offensive categories. He's going to be extremely motivated and will want to sign that one big life changing contract in his career that sets his family up for the rest of their lives. Hopefully he puts up a 4-5 WAR season in 2023!

    In that case, Bryant isn't going anywhere haha.

    If the Jays have the money like you said, Marquez would be a good tradetarget. Even still, his salary over the next two season isn't too bad. Some upside with him if he returns to being a 3-4 WAR pitcher or more since he'll only be 28 next season. Depends on what the Rockies expect in a trade.
  7. jaysblue
    Yeah exactly. Would rather spend that money if available on Rondon or Swanson. Doesn't make sense trading valuable assets for a dead contract and aging asset like Bryant.

    I know they're 6-1, though they haven't been playing SuperBowl caliber football in most of their games. Even the game yesterday, they should have killed Green Bay like 50-10. Instead some sloppy play in the second half where Green Bay got the score to 27-17. Bills are by far the top team in the NFL. To me it's the Bills and Chiefs are 1A and everyone else is another tier below. Only way the Bills will lose in the Playoffs is if they beat themselves with some sloppy plays and decisions. Otherwise this team is destined to be a top team in the NFL for the next decade with Allen as QB.

    Can the Blue Jays afford to pay another aging bat $164M over the next 6 years though? I think Kris Bryant would be a great fit for the reasons you mentioned such as position flexibility and could move to third after Chapman leaves, though his contract is pretty steep for moving a player like Kirk with that controllability. I'm not even sure Bryant ever goes back to being a 7-8 WAR player like he was with the Cubs in 2015 and 2016. He likely settles in as a 4 WAR player at best moving forward. I don't think his trade value should be all that high given his age now, decline and contract. Who can the Blue Jays sign as a FA for 6 years at $164M this offseason? Probably that money is best spent elsewhere instead on Bryant.

    In terms of the Rockies as a trading partner for Jansen, only guy I would roll the dice on would be Germán Márquez, though he even worries me. Under control for two more seasons at 15M in 2023 and a team option at 16M in 2024. Moving out of Coors could help and he could return to being a 3.5-4 WAR pitcher possibly. If you think he can be a 3.5-4 WAR pitcher or more, he would definitely be a nice add for the rotation. Or he could be Jose Berrios 2.0 next season. Antonio Senzatela and Chad Kulh offer no upside whatsoever. Can easily sign FA starters and hold onto Jansen for another trade.

    Alvardo posted a 1.7 WAR with a 14.29 K/9 this season. When he was with Tampa, looked like he was one of the top young relievers coming up. He's no slouch. He's elite when he's on. Robertson is a bit wild agreed but high K rate has helped him. Seranthony Dominguez is very good. 27-years-old, 3.09 FIP, 10.76 K/9, 1.0 WAR this season. On a whole different level in the Postseason: 17.36 K/9. Andrew Bellatti had a solid year: 2.87 FIP, 12.92 K/9, 1.0 WAR. Connor Brogdon is also pretty good. Phillies relievers have higher K rates and we've seen that be successful in the Postseason. Jays have the closer advantage in Romano. No debate there. In terms of the rest of the bullpen, Phillies have higher K arms so I give them the advantage over the Jays in that regard. While close, stats even show Phillies BP was better than the Jays in 2022.

    Speaks volumes about the Cards as an organization.

    Yeah I remember those early 2000 teams with Sundin, Mogilny, Roberts, Tucker, Domi, Corson, Renberg CuJo/Balfour, etc. They were veterans past their primes, but they played tough and almost came close to reaching the Cup in 2002. Gary Roberts was always awesome in the Playoffs!

    Yeah it's such a shame that this team has done exactly nothing with the talent they have. Such a waste when you have superstars like Matthews, Marner, Taveras, and other elite talent around them. This team can't even get by the first round which is extremely disappointing. I don't think this team is capable of going on a deep Playoff run this season. On paper, I don't think the Leafs had this great of a core since the days in the early 90s. Even in the early 2000s, with Sundin, Mogilny, Roberts as a core, despite them being on the older side, they at least went deep into the Playoffs to the 2nd or 3rd round.

    Castellanos saved the day in the bottom of the 9th. I thought that ball was dropping and Houston would have scored.
  16. jaysblue
    Do you think Bellinger is possibly non-tendered by the Dodgers?
  17. jaysblue
    Tyler O'Neill is Canadian. Good for marketing.

    Looks pretty cool. A lot of the new NFL stadiums like in Dallas, LA, New York, Minnesota all look top notch. Shocked they don't have a retractable roof though.

    John Mozeliak did say the Cardinals will look at external options for behind the plate. Willson Contreras is a big FA name. Other options are Christian Vazquez and Omar Narvaez. Blue Jays could definitely be a trading partner.

    Big win against Cleveland last week for the Home Opener. Back-to-back road games in Brooklyn and Miami was always going to be tough. Coming back to win the second game in Miami was huge. Now beating the 76ers in the first game. Hope they could squeeze out a win on Friday as well. So far the Raps have held their own.

    Kluber posted a 3.0 WAR and 3.57 FIP this past season. The last two years he's been in the AL East and he's been quite good. On a one-year contract with him as your No. 4-5 starter, that's not bad at all.

    Keith Law used to be one of favorite writers back in the day. He has completely gone so woke its disgusting. Huge beta!
  24. jaysblue
    For an arm who is going to be 34-years-old next season, no thank you. A lot of other guys who you can sign on one or two year deals and at a better price IMO.
  25. jaysblue
    Corey Kluber on a one-year deal. Shapiro/Atkins know him from their days in Cleveland.
