    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.
  5. jaysblue
    Nah, a lot better value on the market IMO.
  6. jaysblue
    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.
  8. jaysblue
    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.
  9. jaysblue
    Think anyone of those guys accepts?
  10. jaysblue
    Terminator popping a bottle of bubbly tonight and after is going streaking!
  11. jaysblue
    If he can pitch like Andrew Miller, for sure!
  12. jaysblue
    Yup. I don't think Suarez gets that on the open market at all. Don't understand the logic behind it.
  13. jaysblue
    No. Just the Padres are stupid.
  14. jaysblue
    I was at that game as well in August 2005. I think Dave Bush was pitching haha.
  15. jaysblue
    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!
  16. jaysblue
    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.
  17. jaysblue
    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.
  18. jaysblue
    I meant Moreno + only. Nothing significant added though. Shouldn't have to add anything with Kirk.
  19. jaysblue
    Jansen for O'Neill is probably more than enough, with the Jays maybe throwing something else the Cards way.
  20. jaysblue
    I don't understand what's funny haha. Cards won't want Jansen for Noot.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. jaysblue
    If the Rays got rid of him, you know he ain't right.
  25. jaysblue
    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.
