    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.
  3. jaysblue
    I meant Moreno + only. Nothing significant added though. Shouldn't have to add anything with Kirk.
  4. jaysblue
    Jansen for O'Neill is probably more than enough, with the Jays maybe throwing something else the Cards way.
  5. jaysblue
    I don't understand what's funny haha. Cards won't want Jansen for Noot.
  6. jaysblue
    Astros likely won't want to part with Abreu for an injury prone catcher with only 2 years of control left. They probably view him as their next bullpen ace, closer of the future.
  7. jaysblue
    I agree, though he's going to at least cost Kirk or Moreno + most likely. Plus, not sure if the Cards want to move him. Cards probably would be open to a Jansen/O'Neill swap since both have two years remaining and are similar type of hitters.
  8. jaysblue
    Jake Odorizzi would have been a nice target as a No. 4 or 5 starter for depth. He picked up his player option before the trade and Braves are eating $10 of the $12 million which is pretty sweet. Rangers just had to part with Kolby Allard.
  9. jaysblue
    If the Rays got rid of him, you know he ain't right.

    I think the Cardinals are a better fit for Jansen in terms of a trade partner. Cards have some intriguing OFs. Tyler O'Neill would be a great add and buy low if the Cards are willing to move him. I know he's a RHB, though if he's healthy he could provide a 5-6 WAR season from one of the corners. 2 more years of control, same with Jansen. Jays could then trade one of Teo or Lourdes for some pitching. Lars Nootbaar would be ideal since he's younger and has more control, though likely any deal would involve Kirk or Moreno. I think a Jansen/O'Neill swap actually works well for both clubs.

    Bichette isn't moving off SS anytime soon unless the Jays sign or trade for an elite proven shortstop where Bichette has no choice but to agree.
  12. jaysblue
    As much as I would love that deal to happen, doubt the Astros part with Abreu as well especially since he's one of their younger BP arms and after the Postseason he just had. Urquidy + another young unproven raw BP arm with some upside more likely. To be honest, I think the Jays could go out and sign a similar arm as Urquidy in free agency. He's nothing that special.
  13. jaysblue
    He made that diving catch though in Game 1
  14. jaysblue
    Astros also had one of the deepest rotations in baseball, which definitely helps the bullpen over the 162 game season since most guys aren't overused and taxed. Jays have Gausman and Manoah, and hope Berrios returns to his pre-2022 form. Add another legit starter or two, and a high K reliever, definitely will make a huge difference.

    Jamie Campbell just said "Justin Verlander celebrating with his daughter." I hope he wasn't referring to Kate Upton lmao.

    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!
  21. jaysblue
    In that case, Bryant isn't going anywhere haha.
  22. jaysblue
    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.
  23. 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.
