    Yeah those are definitely the needs. Agree that it will be difficult to fill all of them via FA. But in order to be wild card contenders I don't think we would have to. Fill most of them in a decent way and that should be good enough. In order to be division contenders we'd have to fill them all though.

    Yeah I got ya but a bottom five franchise is even less accurate.
  3. Terminator
    We'll see how the offseason shakes out. I think the Fangraphs playoff odds will give them something close to 50% playoff odds. Nothing to brag about at all but not as dire as a bottom 5 team in MLB. I don't know when I've ever been crapping on the Jays every chance I get or what you mean when you say I'm the strongest supporter. I want Ross to be fired after all and am ambivalent on Shapiro. That said, a franchise's health isn't tied directly to the GM. He can be replaced (and probably will be if he doesn't have a good year) and other things also matter greatly. The Jays have pretty strong marks when it comes to ownership, market size, the fanbase, etc. that prevent it from being a bottom five franchise.

    Ok let's not get too carried away here. It ain't bottom 5 bad lol. After we dump 50M into the team we will probably have a wild card contender. But that's not great considering: (1) the payroll involved to get there (but the fact we can spend that much to begin with is a plus) (2) the fact that it's just a wild card contender and not a division contender, and (3) the state of the farm system (which matters but is incredibly overrated by this board). But we aren't even close to a bottom feeder franchise. Things are just very mid right now.

    Lol no way I'm reading all that pal Bottom line is the playoffs are a crapshoot and it doesn't take a book's worth of text to try and explain how certain s***** wild card teams can make the World Series and why others can't

    Cheering for a Mets-Guardians WS which will tank the ratings for a couple of reasons 1. So I can keep dunking on the haters and losers, of which there are many, who tried telling me that the D-Bags and Rangers were legit and worthy WS teams last year instead of admitting that the playoffs are a crapshoot 2. So MLB will fix the playoff format
  7. Terminator
    Prefer the Guardians but will take anyone over the Yankees.
  8. Terminator
    I would strongly prefer John Gibbons tbh

    The entire season hinges on that meatball staying healthy

    I would be down for something like that. Would depend on what our bullpen is looking like. If Zach Pop is penciled into the 7th inning role then I say spend the money on the pen. If we are feeling good about the pen then we could bring in a decent vet. I think the pen is probably going to be looking a little rough though with so many holes to fill. I agree the catching depth needs addressed so I wouldn't mind dumpster diving even lower than the guys you suggest. Could serial masturbator Reese McGuire be had for a million bucks? Then Hineyman becomes the third C in Buffalo? Something like that might be a good way to split the difference.

    I think something like that gets it done if the Jays are willing to offer it. I think they ultimately land on something a little bit lower. But regardless of the exact number, how the hell does he turn an offer like that down? He'd have to be hellbent on going to free agency but that doesn't seem like the case; he's been practically begging for an extension.
  12. Terminator
    Smart. I'd take a cheap backup that fell into our laps some time in February. But even then, the 3-5 mil spent on a decent backup could just be used to sign a decent middle reliever and we need a half dozen of those. And it's a small sample size, but there is evidence that Heineman is good defensively.
  13. Terminator
    This time will be different
  14. Terminator
    Hell no to the Yankees in the World Series. If ISIS had a baseball team I'd be cheering for them over the Yanks. We should all be rooting for the Royals as disgusting as that might feel. The subsequent meltdown will be glorious.

    I believe it but at the same time you have Justin Turner and others saying it's a top-notch organization. It's probably just one of those things where the losing creates the discontent, and it isn't the discontent that is creating the losing. Win enough games to make the playoffs and this kind of stuff probably goes away.

    Once again I see Springer being discussed without talk of how unlucky he has been. If his wOBA was in line with, or even better than, his xwOBA then this would be an entirely different conversation.
  18. Terminator
    Enough about Jurickson Profar...who wants to help me spread rumors on twitter that Aaron Judge is about to get swept up in the Diddy freak offs scandal?
  19. Terminator
    Diamondbacks miss the playoffs Orioles fail to win a playoff game again AA and the Braves get swept Hopefully the Yankees are next
  20. Terminator
    You absolutely love to see it Their fanboys will be scrambling for new arguments after they fail to win a playoff game yet again

    Yeah there are a shitload of interesting relievers this year. Thank god because we need about 5 new ones.
  23. Terminator
    He's such a weird player. Former top prospect who has had a middling career where he alternates between decent years and bad ones before breaking out at age 31. His breakout seems hard to believe but it also seems pretty real as he added more Max EV and now hits the ball hard. I would want to know if he had some sort of true talent change and what lead to it. He's also on the wrong side of 30 so can he sustain it? If so you are getting a damn good hitter on a reasonable contract.
  24. Terminator
    Wow, those K numbers are interesting. 6 out of the last 9 were Top 5 in K rate. And only one below average K rate team has won the WS.

    MLB Trade Rumors has their projected arb values out https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2025.html Here are the Jays: Based on those numbers I'd dump Cabrera, Pop and Tate and keep everyone else.
