    You’re talking completely out of your ass. Vlad’s numbers in high leverage situations are off the charts.
  2. Terminator
    True but their path would most resemble the Jays resigning Vlad (like they did with Devers) and making mid tier FA signings. They never went full rebuild.
  3. Terminator
    I get where the criticisms of Vlad are coming from, but if we had a chance to sign a 5 WAR player entering his age 27 season, people would be going insane with happiness on this board. But because it’s Vlad there’s a lot of trepidation for some reason.
  4. Terminator
    This is a massive season for the franchise. If we win some games and make the playoffs it’s possible to keep Vlad and to keep contending. If we lose we will sell at the deadline and nearly half the roster will turn over heading into next year and we are going to suck for several years. The Bo/Vlad era will end with nothing to show for it except whatever prospects we get for them. We will have a new front office and manager as well. I know some of you get excited with the thought of a rebuild because you like to jerk off to prospects but it’s going to suck if we have to go that route. I pray we don’t.

    It doesn’t sound like Vlad is giving much of a hometown discount at all. And if that’s the case might as well do it this way. It’s riskier that he leaves, and he probably will tbh, but there’s no point in giving an extension when the team isn’t getting any sort of discount over what he’d get in FA. Theres a chance his market doesn’t develop. Yanks and Red Sox aren’t really the mega spenders they used to be. Dodgers and Mets could be tapped out on a player like Vlad but I do worry about the Mets. Giants would be a horrible fit for a right handed power hitter. Phillies don’t need him with Harper moving to 1B. Could a team like the Rangers make a play? Tucker being available would also likely eliminate the team that signs him so that will play a factor too.

    3 Jays made Fangraphs' Top 100 Prospects list this year Jake Bloss - #66 Arjun Nimmala - #82 Ricky Tiedemann - #102 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-top-100-prospects/
  7. Terminator
    Yeah neither side is giving their best offer until the deadline. Even then, the deadline is artificial so you'll probably get a little more back and forth afterward at some point.
  8. Terminator
    Still some decent relievers out there. Find out which ones live in Florida in the offseason and see if they want a job starting out in Dunedin for the next month and a half. Someone like Chafin, Kimbrel, etc.
  9. Terminator
    Correct but better than blocking a top prospect by moving your 40 million dollar man down the defensive spectrum just so you can play them
  10. Terminator
    Yeah that's what they should do. Or trade Yoshida in a salary dump.
  11. Terminator
    Definitely an odd choice to move Bregman off of 3B (3B defense is perhaps his calling card) while paying him 40 mil! Not to mention the top prospect he’s blocking now If the Red Sox were finally going to spend I like to see them using up resources on a move like this
  12. Terminator
    Lol I love the cherry picking here to show Bregman’s age 23 to 25 seasons If he signed this deal entering his age 26 season I would get it. But it was the 2010s when these seasons happened- we’ve had two presidential elections, a pandemic and 7 SEASONS of baseball since. What Bregman did a decade ago has almost no correlation with Vlad
  13. Terminator
    Wow 40 mil a year with opt outs. seems like he ended up doing pretty well after all compared to the 6 for 156 offer that the Astros reportedly offered him
  14. Terminator
    People are definitely sleeping on Wagner. In AAA last year, he had a 16.6% walk rate compared to a 10.4% K rate. That's kind of insane. His batted ball data looks fairly strong as well. The lack of power seemingly comes from a low launch angle is all. He should be a pretty good hitter in the mold of Frank Catalanatto though he can play more infield.
  15. Terminator
    The guys we've got are probably better. Jimenez projects a lot better than both, for example.
  16. Terminator
    I hear ya. We project for something like 82-86 wins so we need to improve somewhere. But I think rolling with close to what we've got makes sense. If we are in it at the deadline we can make a deal then.
  17. Terminator
    I agree that acquiring a "big bat" is needed, but the big bat needs to be pretty damn good to make it worth our while. Taters in LF and Wagner at DH who projects for a 118 wRC+. Taters at DH and use one of these guys for LF: Roden projects for a 109 wRC+, Lukes 104, Barger 103. All of the above mentioned names bat left-handed so Schneider (104 projection) makes for a decent platoon partner. JD Martinez (101 projection) probably isn't a big enough bat. I'm not even sure that Luis Robert (104 projection) is worth it.
  18. Terminator
    9 years left on that deal and he’s already 32. lol wowzers
  19. Terminator
    That one is obvious and is discussed daily Old, expensive and no farm on top of a mid-80s win projection with their best players headed for FA
  20. Terminator
    The other teams taking a step back helps us as much as anything -Yanks can make as many moves as they want but losing a 7 WAR player makes the team worse. Loving the fact that they panicked and spent 300 million and traded away talent to come up with Fried, Bellinger, Goldschmidt and Williams. -Orioles appear to be squandering their young talent. They project for a mid-80s win total and have the 17th best farm now according to BA (uh oh!). We tried telling the Orioles Fanboys that this would happen but they wouldn’t listen. -Rays will always be interesting but that payroll as well as every team in the league adopting advanced stats is starting to affect their ceiling each year -Boston refuses to spend though they seem to slowly be crawling back to respectability.
  21. Terminator
    We could definitely use a big bat that’s more reliable. But given the guys we’ve got it needs to be a pretty big addition otherwise I might not bother. Wagner’s projections are nuts and he hits left handed which is what we need. He can DH and Taters can play LF. It’s going to be hard to find someone that fits in better than that even if you’d like more power than what Wagner provides. I suppose you could look at 3B but with Clement there it’s kind of the same situation. Even LF has some decent internal options. i might add a Kimbrel or Chafin or something and call it good until the deadline.
  22. Terminator
    Ed Rogers is the man Forget raising employee wages lets renovate the stadium and pump another 100 million into the baseball team’s payroll
  23. Terminator
    Yeah more nightmare than anything else but it's probably a double-edged sword to a degree. You likely have to be incredibly methodical in dealing with him. Any offer you give him he'll take and parade around the league for weeks on end trying to get someone to beat it lol. On the flipside, if you have the biggest offer he probably advises his client to take it and they usually do unless someone's wife overrules him (Corbin Burnes).
  24. Terminator
    There's absolutely some truth to this but I don't think Shi and BNS are necessarily in on it. When Boras is breastfeeding Heyman, Morosi and other dipshit journos a bunch of false info that gets immediately tweeted out, the team will probably feed BNS and Shi a little bit of info to try and balance the scales.

    God bless the US-Canada tax treaty and the state of Florida
