  1. Ah ok that makes sense then. If Yariel could get his head out of his ass and throw the ball for strikes once in a while he could be a good reliever. He was dominating AAA with that new splitter. Also, I think there is a chance that Hiney-man might head back to Buffalo as well when he is DFA'd for Kirk. If he's not claimed (and there is a decent chance he's not) he probably won't want to forfeit the remainder of his 1.24 mil salary this year. That's a lot of dough for a career minor leaguer.
  2. Pretty sure Yariel can elect FA since he was "previously outrighted".
  3. I think because Yariel was DFA'd before that he can now elect FA. So we will be eating about 15 mil over 2.5 years on that one. EDIT: This is fake news. He could elect FA but he'd also forfeit his salary. He's going to Buffalo.
  4. I think this is what the Jays are going to do: Corbin vs. Sanchez Cease vs. Wheeler Scherzer vs. Luzardo
  5. Never seen a team or its fanbase b!tch and moan as much as the Orioles did after blowing that game yesterday. It's not the ump's fault your starting SS completely forgot how to field for an entire inning or how your albino starting pitcher s*** the bed with a lead. Really pathetic stuff. **Orioles Fanboys cover your eyes** With an attitude like that it's no wonder that they have 0 playoff wins since 2015 (the Jays have won 20 playoff games during that same timespan).
  6. Ross really traded a slap hitting nepo baby who can't field for a switch-hitting C with elite defense and power Lmao
  7. I like this pickup but struggling #5 SPs without options aren't always easy to carry on the roster. Going to need to make some heavy use of phantom injuries (aka the Dodgers Special) to keep everyone.
  8. Young vs. Yesavage Bradish vs. Miles (bulk pitcher) Baz vs. Gausman
  9. I'm almost positive that if we DFA Yariel again then he can select Free Agency since we already did it once. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/designate-for-assignment I agree on not everything going smoothly. Someone will get hurt, but even so we have 3 pitchers back next week and two more to follow. Add in SWR and that's 4 next week and 6 by the end of the month. Seabold, Dallas and Macko are the obvious guys we can move, but after that it gets tricky.
  10. Can't believe the Twins of all teams couldn't find a way to keep him. I do think we may have the same problem as we are due to get 3 pitchers back next week. Then Bieber and Yimi are due back later this month. Some injury stuff will most certainly happen but even so that's 5 pitchers plus SWR that need to be added. Here are the guys we can move: Dallas is an obvious option candidate Seabold is an obvious DFA candidate Macko can be optioned, though that leaves Fluharty as are only lefty Maybe we eat the 12+ mil on Yariel's final two years? I think he's got some potential if he can find his command but will we have the patience as a slow starting contender. Spencer Miles has barely thrown in pro ball and is blowing past his career high in innings so he could be due for a phantom injury? Maybe SWR proves he's a team player and suffers a phantom injury? A lot of guys have been worked really hard. Maybe some phantom injuries to lighten their workload would help.
  11. Woke up and remembered that Aaron Judge is out for the season. Absolutely giddy right now. The division is back in play boys.
  12. The Jays beat Chris Sale and Aaron Judge is out for the season. Summer is back on boys!
  13. Idk all these bullpen days have been a disaster and Kirk is a major improvement over Val who is a major improvement over Hineyman Barger probably less of an impact but I would like to see them work him into the infield some more
  14. If Cease, Scherzer and Nance are in fact back next week it will be interesting to see what they do. My guess: Seabold is DFA'd and he'll elect FA. Juenger optioned. Macko optioned. Yariel survives bc if he's DFA'd again he can elect FA and we are on the hook for his contract. Though at 6.5 AAV for two more years after this one, they could just bite the bullet now and keep Macko.
  15. The good news is that this is hopefully the last day of the year where the roster is a complete mess due to injuries. Pitching: Cease will be able to take his next turn through the rotation. Huge. Scherzer should also be able to take his next turn through the rotation. Need the innings. Nance will be back next week too. He's been dealing this year. Bieber should be back later this month. This is pretty big addition as Steamer thinks he's a 3 WAR talent. Yimi could be back later this month but I'm not confident. Hitting: Kirk will be back next week which is massive. I see some people downplaying this because Val has been good but Kirk is our best player and it has ripple effects throughout the lineup. Barger will also be back. Our corner OFers have been good so this one has less of an impact.
  16. Letting the Orioles skate their way into a split and then getting swept by the AA-led Braves is my own personal 9/11. So if it looks like we are going to lose today I trust that everyone will be extra kind to me. Thanks.
  17. As outstanding as that movie was, that is an Angels specific meme and doesn't have much usage on a Blue Jays board. I personally recommend professional wrestling .gifs and have used them to great success over the years.
  18. Team has basically been treading water which is frustrating but also kind of okay given all the injuries and that the fact that the AL sucks. Seemed like we were building some momentum until the Cease injury which really hurts the entire pitching staff. We now have two bullpen games every 5 days which is insane. But things should get better on the injury front in a hurry. Cease, Kirk, Nance and Scherzer should be back next week Barger back sometime this month Bieber should be back by the end of the month May get Yimi back this month but I'm not counting on it
  19. Olerud was actually on to something with his Nimmala critiques. The hit tool is a concern and as he ages he better start showing signs of improvement there. And there's a lot of history to back that up. But it took me about a month's worth of posts to understand what he was getting at. Has some useful insights and isn't a part of the hivemind so we might learn something.
  20. Jon Heyman will s*** himself. He thinks twitching your hip should count as a swing.
  21. Glad to see it. Check swings were probably the one MLB rule that nobody really knew how to define and that wasn't called consistently. The NBA is a total mess on what constitutes a foul or not. And the NFL still can't seem to agree on what a catch, holding, or pass interference is. Good on the MLB for getting this stuff figured out.
