    We're going to regret not signing Paxton.
  2. saskjayfan
    I've convince myself Paxton is the guy we want because we haven't signed anyone and Boras has to wait until the last possible minute for his guys to sign. There's a 5 day quarantine period. It's time for guys to sign. Our report day is 6 days away!
  3. saskjayfan
    so are we going to sign paxton tonight!
  4. saskjayfan
    so why wass Wilner fired in the first place? Was it just covid cutbacks?
  5. saskjayfan
    He has to figure our his defense and his bat! His contact rates are some of the worst in the league. He just isn't very good.
  6. saskjayfan
    Now I know the real reason you don't want Paxton! PS Fisher sucks! Happy Days!

    Nice deal. I would have liked him for that price, but a good starting pitcher should be our main focus.

    This is a you love it or hate it thing. Personally I love the extra inning rules. I feel for you though. I wonder what the percentage would be of people who like it and those who don't. Probably 50/50. Maybe someone should put a poll up.

    So with expanded playoffs to 7 we make the playoffs. With 5 teams we miss. Who doesn't want expanded playoffs! lol.

    I hope we see Joey Murray get a shot in the bigs this year.

    You also retain a much better outfielder. You could sign Paxton and potentially get a better pitcher, and retain a much better outfielder.

    I would say the ask on Marquez would be really high, but it's the Rockies, so who knows. I'd definitely check in on Marquez, Price, Castillo and Gray. We need to sort our starting pitching whether that's signing Paxton, Odorizzi, Walker or trading for a starter.
  13. saskjayfan
    At what cost though? He made 12 mil and 9 mil the last 2 seasons. Does Marwin get 3 to 5 mil? I'd rather go cheap. Marwin's a better bat, but Espinal is probably a better base runner and defender. We need all our money to go into pitching at this point, not the bench. Go sign Paxton already!

    Met's fans are going to lose it. They couldn't even pony up for Jackie Bradley Jr? Looks like Boras asked for something ridiculous. His gamble didn't pay off....where does JBJ go now?
  15. saskjayfan
    It feels like Sanchez should be older. He's only 28. There's no reason not to bring him in on a minor league deal to see what he has. He might prefer a crappy team where he might have a better shot of making the MLB roster though. While we are at it and bringing back former Jays, can we get Osuna on a minor league? I'd love to take a look at him in spring training.
  16. saskjayfan
    Boras, who's largely had a year off is sitting there with Paxton and JBJ. With the flurry of signings these are 2 of the better players available. Boras slow playing the market as always. I'm sure he's on the phone with the Mets right now for both players trying to drive the price up for them.
  17. saskjayfan
    We'll likely get into this talk more as spring training gets rolling, but I feel like the Jays are pretty much destined to start the season with a 6 man rotation. We're stacking our bullpen with swing guys. Ryu has had injury issues and even last year we saw him take an extra day rest at least once. He actually prefers pitching on an extra day of rest. All arms are going to have to be protected after a short season, but especially a guy like Pearson. You're going to want to limit his innings. If we sign Paxton, he screams 6 man rotation. I guess time will tell.
  18. saskjayfan
    I didn't realize Degrom had an opt out after 2022. Given the fact that he's making 35 but has to defer something like 15 mil a year until he is age 47 to into his 50s, there's no chance Degrom opts into his final 2 years at 32.5 if he keeps dealing over the next 2 years. How much does Degrom get going into his age 35 season as a guy who's been a top 3 pitcher in baseball every year for a 5 year stretch? Is Scherzer going to get 2 and 80 if he performs well this year?
  19. saskjayfan
    The Jays have 65 million committed next year and probably about 10 mil in arb raises. Price's 16 mil would bring us to around 90 mil. There would still be plenty of payroll flexibility next year.
  20. saskjayfan
    Boston is paying half that salary. He's only making 16 a year. You think anyone over 30 is going to fall off a cliff. You must hate the Springer contract. You're misremembering on Bautista. I was all for bringing him back at a reasonable price. I probably would have done 3 or 4. Sometimes players age well, sometimes they don't. Price is 35 hasn't played in a year and his numbers haven't been bad the last several years. Did you read about the problems he played through with his wrist and his loss of feeling in his hand. He's addressed that. He's going to have a very good year. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/david-price-7536/
  21. saskjayfan
    David Price is going to be the Justin Verlander reborn. People counted Justin out. David had some niggling injuries. He had cyst in his wrist removed. That's something that he's probably pitched with the last few years. Some discomfort, but something he could pitch through especially considering the amount of money he was making. Still 3 years of a 3.6 FIP and one year of a 4.02 FIP is not bad. A full year off, cleaned up the cyst David could easily post a sub 3.5 FIP. 16 mil a year for Price will be a massive Bargain. I'll include him in my bold predictions. I think He's going to have a great bounce back year.
  22. saskjayfan
    I've been calling for the Jays to trade for Price for some time. 2 years at 16 AAV. I think he's going to have a great year.
  23. saskjayfan
    Sign Paxton trade for Price...let's roll.
  24. saskjayfan
    I mean Degrom, Bauer, Carrasco, Stroman and eventually Syndergaard mid season. Now that is a rotation..lol.
  25. saskjayfan
    It would probably be more of an issue if the Mets had the best pitcher on the planet, and throwing his schedule off might not make sense.
