Yeah I would think he'd be able to easily get 3/45 from someone as a 1B/DH if Morales got 3/33. Like you said, he's probably looking at $20M per season on a 3-4 year deal.

Anyone want tickets for tonights game? My friend can't go. $45 each (face value $70 tickets). Send me a PM.

Yup, he'll be the 2017 version of Mark Trumbo for them.

That was a great Grey Cup game!

Bud Norris looks like Adam Devine so I approve.

Could move one of Dexter Fowler, Randal Grichuk, or Starling Marte.

Yeah its a good buy low on Ramos from BTS. If I had the roster space and a need behind the plate, I easily would have parted with the 2nd round pick as well.

Ok take out the Ferrari, make it only one custom made suit, make it one escort for every week, and the Blue Jays season tickets in the 500 level. Not as outrageous anymore.

My ideal Christmas shopping list: Buy a 70 inch 4K flat screen TV Buy a new Ferrari Buy 10 new custom made suits Hire the most expensive escorts for every night in December Buy & drink Hennessy XO Cognac every night Purchase Blue Jays season tickets right behind home plate

Martin was a big reason as to why the Blue Jays made the postseason the past two years.

Martin likely would get a 3 year deal worth $40-45 million as a FA if he were on the market. Plus with salaries going up every year, 3/60 is probably very fair for Martin over the next 3 years as long as he stays healthy.

If the Jays could sign Pearce for 2/12 or 2/15, I'd be really happy.

I needed a catcher pretty badly especially with Norris & Salty as my only two options currently on the roster. I added some pitching at the deadline with Nola & Gray so I had the SP depth to make this swap.

To Dinger: Porcello To me: Grandal

I don't follow the MLS, though gotta hand it to the TFC for battling back with 2 goals. All they need to do is win 1-0 or 2-1 at home next game and they could make it through.

Caught some of Tim & Sid tonight and Sid went off on a good rant. He made some good points and even said if that was Curry, LeBron, Durant or Wade who made that shot at the end of the game, it likely wouldn't have ended like that. http://www.sportsnet.ca/videos/leagues/nba-video/

I would easily roll the dice on him again, though I doubt the Jays even consider bringing him back. He'll be a good sign wherever he goes.

Feliz likely could get a 3/18 or 3/21 deal based on his age, upside and the market.

Yeah I wish they got salaries right when signing FA's during the offseason to make it more realistic. Hopefully its something they fix in next years version. You could sign a guy for next to nothing if they have a player rating under 85.

Played some MLB the Show today and completed the first offseason in Franchise mode and simulated the two months so far of 2017. Just for fun. Some key moves that I made during the offseason: - Signed Charlie Morton to a 2 year deal. - Signed Mike Napoli to a 1 year deal. - Apparently Tex didn't retire in the game yet, so signed him to a cheap 1 year deal. - QO on EE and Bautista. Bautista did accept the QO so I'm stuck with him. EE signed a 4 year deal with the Cubs lol. - Traded JA Happ, Melvin Upton Jr and a decent prospect to the Angels for Kole Calhoun. - Signed Justin Turner to a 2 year deal. - Signed Jarrod Dyson to a 1 year deal. - traded for Boone Logan (Rockies resigned him). - signed Francisco Rodriguez to a cheap 1 year deal before ST. Here is what my roster looks like: 2B Devon Travis 3B Josh Donaldson DH Jose Bautista SS Troy Tulowitzki RF Kole Calhoun 1B Mark Teixeira/Mike Napoli platoon C Russell Martin CF Kevin Pillar LF Jarrod Dyson/Justin Turner BN Justin Turner (playing him everyday all over) BN Mike Napoli (starts at 1B against LHP) BN Jon Jay (Pompey got injured so he's my new 4th OF now) BN Carlos Ruiz Rotation: SP Aaron Sanchez SP Marcus Stroman SP Francisco Liriano SP Marco Estrada SP Charlie Morton Bullpen (Grilli retired, have Biagini in AAA since he's not rated that high): RHP Matt Shoemaker (picked him up in Rule 5 lol) RHP Juan Nicasio RHP Francisco Rodriguez LHP Aaron Loup LHP Boone Logan RHP Daniel Hudson CL Roberto Osuna

I will admit, golf has got more exciting now with the talent on tour. And hoping Tiger Woods could make some sort of a comeback.

I prefer him as a starter obviously though if you're Liriano and you could pitch at an elite level out of the BP, from a financial standpoint it might be enticing. Lets say he pitches 70-80 innings with a low 2 ERA, 25-30 holds & 100 K's this season, would that net him more money & a longer contract possibly? Obviously if he fails as a reliever, he screws himself. Even as a mediocre starter who pitches 180 innings with an ERA around 4, he should still get 1/10 easily.

Wouldn't shock me if Logan demands 4 years as well after this Cecil deal. There is no harm in rolling the dice with any of those arms above especially if they only require a cheap 1-year contract. Could likely have Matusz or Venters on a minor league contract anyways.

They need him as a starter. Rubby De La Rosa would be a nice SP to target as a reliever.
