  1. Agreed. I don't even bother to check this thread as much now. This thread on the old board was one of the most active threads and now it's pretty much dead.
  2. Would rather watch a game at Fenway over the Rogers Centre any day of the week!
  3. Pivetta at 4/$55M was really good. Much better than some of the other deals guys like Eovaldi and Severino signed for earlier in the offseason. Could have maybe moved Bassitt earlier on in the offseason when the price for SPs was insane, but that would have left a huge hole in the Jays rotation and it wasn't a guarantee Pivetta was going to last this long and sign for that cheap.
  4. Yeah he could potentially have a good season in Boston, taking advantage of the Green Monster and dimensions, turning it into a larger contract. Which position does he play now?
  5. Have you ever been to a game at Fenway?
  6. Iglesias likely would be the starting 3B. I mean if he comes cheap, would give him a chance and it strengthens the infield depth even more. Would prefer having Clement as a super utility guy who you find 300-400 ABs and he could start in case of an injury. If Bo gets injured or Gimenez, slide over Iglesias and have Clement start at 3B.
  7. $10M isn't bad for Kenley Jansen. He's not the same elite arm he was before, but should be able to produce around 1+ WAR and is solid trade bait at the deadline if he has a strong first half.

    Yeah Bills/Ravens were the better teams in the AFC. I'm not sure the Bills would have been able to beat Philly's defense, but at least it would have been a better game.

    Over 3.5 FGS overall. Is the bet to make!

    NBA Thread

    The Eastern Conference isn't as strong as the West. Outside of Boston and Cleveland right now, and maybe the Knicks, there aren't any other dominant or scary teams. The Raptors could likely hold their own in a series against the Pacers, Pistons or Magic let's say. Raptors under Lowry/DeRozan were always a 4th/5th place team pretty much who some seasons got lucky and finished 2nd/3rd and were 1-2 pieces away (which ended up being Leonard/Green and then trading for Gasol at the trade deadline that season). Thinking Masai wants to do the same by keeping the Raps relevant where they win 48-50 or so games per season and maybe win a Playoff Round or two. Then make a bold move/trade and try to go for it if a deal is there (like the Leonard/DeRozan trade). Plus, having the Raptors relevant is at least better for ticket sales and TV viewership and attracting FA's. Tanking in the NBA doesn't always work and it could be a lengthy timeline like almost a decade. Look at the Wizards, Pistons and some other teams.
  13. Would be nice if Varsho could exceed some expectations with the bat and if Kirk returned to his 2022 form offensively. Heck would even take Varsho's 2022 season offensively if he hits close to 30 HR's with a .450 SLG!
  14. Would definitely be a fun place for a MLB baseball team. Nashville is one of the coolest if not coolest cities in the US.
  15. Yeah signing a power bat who could DH or come off the bench like JDM or Rizzo or Canha for under $5M + incentives might not be that bad. Sure some other guys likely will settle for MiLB deals like Ty France, Joey Gallo, Adam Duvall, Patrick Wisdom, and Eddie Rosario. If you can sign McCann as a backup C or Grandal close to $2-3M also could be worth exploring. Last offseason the Jays brought in Volgelbach and Votto lol, so could see Atkins doing something similar again when it comes to bargain bin FA hunting. Still a lot of veteran relievers available as well. Would be nice to roll the dice on someone like Jansen, Robertson, Kelly, Raley, Jackson, Sims, McGough or Junis if they came cheap. I've always been a Junis fan and would be a nice arm to have who can pitch multiple innings out of the pen, and who could start at anytime. Would be really nice depth!
  16. Yeah $5M is definitely a solid gamble. Earlier this offseason, I saw like around $10M being floated around for him.
  17. Looks more likely Clement will be the starting 3B heading into ST if the Jays don't sign Bregman and since Moncada signed with the Angels today. Jays might still be able to turn to the trade market for a bat like Luis Roberts or sign a DH like JDM. We'll see what happens.
  18. Haha I don't have any high picks this year 😅
  19. What do most posters on here prefer: Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus?
  20. Shawn Green was my favourite ballplayer when I started to watch baseball as a kid. He had some monster years here in Toronto!
  21. Spotted Atkins and Vladdy walking out of REIGN Ladies' & Gentlemen's Nightclub in Clearwater this afternoon. Vladdy looked happy!
