    Welp.

    Brooks Raley would be an interesting target as well for a LHP. Posted seasons of 0.8, 1.0 and 0.7 WAR from 2021-2023 and has a career 10.23 K/9. He would definitely provide more floor than Little and Walker.

    Tim Collins gets his first career save this season so the Hurl goes streaking on the field at the Rogers Centre.

    Gotta hope Yariel steps up in a big way and turns into a lights-out reliever. The Nick Sandlin 2021/2022 version is greatly needed as well. Signing someone like David Robertson or Joe Kelly would be nice if possible.

    I wish the dislike button still existed.

    Are you really comparing the contract Soto got compared to Ohtani when talking about Kirk? I know the market has gone up over the last couple of years for FA's, though we've also seen it crater with some top FA's as well. What does Kirk base his new contract off of? Will Smith in March 2024 signed a 10-year extension worth $140M including a $30M signing bonus along with deferrals. He's not getting anything close to what Smith got with LA. I don't think Kirk is in any position to demand top value just yet given his offensive production the last two seasons with a 96 wRC+ and 94 wRC+ in 2023 and 2024 lol. Defensive minded only catchers who are good for 2-3 WAR aren't difficult to find and don't usually cost a lot through FA. I'm all for signing Kirk to a modest extension that buys out 3 or 4 years of free agency. You don't have to throw close to $20M at him in order for him to sign on the dotted line lol. If you give him a 5 or 6 year extension similar to what Murphy got or a bit more, he likely accepts once he sees all that guaranteed money.

    You don't need to extend Kirk for $20M AAV per season lol. I think you can extend him for way less. Sean Murphy two years ago got 6 years/$73M at $12.17M AAV and was coming off a 5.2 WAR season and was 27-years-old. As well, if I recall, there hasn't been a catcher in free agency who got big bucks over the last two years, so nothing really for Kirk's camp to compare with.

    You guys don't remember Gabe Gross at all? It's great seeing a lot of the Buffalo guys raking so far during ST though you need to temper expectations. There's also two plus weeks left in ST as well. Hopefully we can get one or two of them sticking in the lineup on a regular basis.

    They've been increasing the prices every year. I started off paying $4500 for the pair of tickets back in 2014. Now I'm paying $9800 (including taxes) for next season. There is still a waiting list for season tickets and my seats are aisle seats so don't want to give them up. But yeah paying close to 10K for upper bowls is ridiculous especially given how poorly they've played.

    He traded William Contreras as well in order to land Sean Murphy. The Napoli/Francisco trade was awful. Napoli would have been a nice fit here even as a 1B/DH. The guy had monster power. At least AA went out and signed Russell Martin in his last year with the Jays.
  11. jaysblue
    Kyle Gibson still available. If I were the Yankees, would sign him pronto.
  12. jaysblue
    Not sure if it's just me, but when navigating through the forum, finding that load times when opening new threads/pages to be really slow and lagging.

    If anyone is interested, looking to sell half of my Raps season tickets for 2025/2026. Great seats in the upper level - Sec 323, Row 3, aisle seats. Can DM me for more details.

    Awesome gif haha
  15. jaysblue
    Athletics will be a fun team to watch this year. They're definitely a sleeper.
  16. jaysblue
    Still some interesting FA names available: - Lance Lynn - Kyle Gibson - JD Martinez - David Robertson - Joe Kelly - Brooks Raley - Alex Verdugo - Spencer Turnbull - Yasmini Grandal - Anthony Rizzo
  17. jaysblue
    Yeah in a perfect world, he would have been a nice fit here for even $7 to 8M if the Jays ended up moving Bassitt and his $21M earlier in the offseason. Would have required having a crystal ball though lol. Woodruff not going to be ready for Opening Day, plus looks like Ashby will miss time in the early going as well. There was an opening for Quintana and he's a reliable/durable arm for them. Don't think Quintana would have found a better situation either.
  18. jaysblue
    Yeah ST stats are meaningless. ST stats mean more for young guys trying to crack the MLB roster, or players competing for a certain position. If Anthony Santander goes 3 for 30 over ST, who cares.
  19. jaysblue
    So want to ask this question: Would you rather resign Vladdy to an extension around $500M or Bo for around $200M?
  20. jaysblue
    Yeah offensively, Bo is still a far superior player and has more upside. Just comparing their contracts. I see Bo using Adames' contract as a benchmark and if he might be able to squeeze out more money next offseason if he returns to being the 4-5 WAR player we saw a couple years ago. I think $250M is the max Bo would get regardless. Unless he goes out and puts up a 8-9 WAR season haha.
  21. jaysblue
    Bo will be 28 next season, Adames is going to be 29 this season. Adames posted a 4.8 WAR season and is much better defensively. Not sure Bo would get that much more if anything.
  22. jaysblue
    An extension for Bo in comparison to Vladdy haha might not be the worst thing. I doubt Bo gets more than $200M or what Adames got this offseason.
  23. jaysblue
    Spanky knows his B-Ball!
  24. jaysblue
    Grant will hate this tweet.
  25. jaysblue
    Yeah only guy really standing in his way for saves is Romano and his health/effectiveness is in question. Strahm likely would be next in line or worst case is their top setup option so he should provide elite ratios + holds. Yates is 38 and it will be tough passing Scott and others in the BP for saves. Hendriks is intriguing still and has looked great so far this spring, but Chapman in the fold along with Slaten makes the situation more complicated.
