I tend to agree when it comes to Moncada. Not sure he's any better than Clement. He does hit switch so we could platoon them a bit but then again we could also do that with Barger who projects better than Moncada anyway. -
Yeah they are probably screwed either way with Vlad. Don't re-sign him and he's a Top 10 hitter the next 5+ years somewhere, possibly with the Red Sox. Fans are livid. Sign him and the final 5+ years of the deal are a major albatross.

My bad. You threw out the standard "Ross can't sign anybody because the team sucks" post with regard to the remaining FAs and Tony Taters is like the 2nd or 3rd best guy left so forgive me for thinking you were talking about him. Teo has been more talked about than anyone so I wrongly assumed you meant him too. With the added nuance of your quoted post, I can now say that you have a very solid viewpoint, even though you like to venture into jaysblue territory (might as well tar and feather him while I'm at it) by making overly whiny posts to vent your frustration every once in a while. But I see what you are saying now and I agree that the state of the franchise does affect them more, especially when it comes to the Top Tier FAs (the true "impact" guys as you say) because the top teams will be in on them and the offers seemingly all top out around the same. The Tony Taters of the world are more worried about pure cash so we can still sign those overpaid turds. We actually don't disagree that much.

If you didn't my mistake. But what free agents are you in fact ripping the team for not signing then? You are definitely complaining about the lack of Free Agent signings in general, but when pressed on two of them you actually think they shouldn't sign one (Tony) and don't care about the other (Teo)? What FAs are you talking about here?

Rips the team for not signing 2 WAR OFers like Teoscar to 25 mil a year Also rips the team for theoretically signing 2 WAR OFers like Tony Taters to 25 mil a year

If the team is going to give him 400+ million, I think there is some wisdom on giving him a 15-16 year deal, especially if the team is going to be in the luxury tax bracket moving forward since it will save the team money by lowering the tax hit. -15-16 year deal which takes him through his age 41 season lol -see if you can rip up the final year of arb (it shaves a year off his deal but he can claim a larger FA contract) -give him a signing bonus (try and avoid Canadian taxes) -stuff it with as many deferrals as possible (helps lower his present day value for the team, he can avoid taxes and gets a larger sticker shock)
-
Do you really think that free agents like Anthony Santander won't sign here for reasons other than money? If the Jays really wanted him they could sign him tonight. They just don't think he's worth what he's asking for and apparently all of the other teams agree.

Yeah he's made plenty of big moves. The casuals have short term memories so the idea that Ross can't sign anyone stems from basically two things: 1- Not being able to sign Ohtani or Soto, two guys who were never going to sign here anyway. 2- One mediocre offseason last year. His real problem is player development, but that won't stop the casuals from crying about FA signings. Try being a fan from the post World Series years in the mid 90s until the mid 2010s. Outside of that 2006 offseason, we REALLY couldn't sign anyone.

Past two days I have seen rumors on the Jays being interested in Carlos Estevez, Verdugo, Kenley Jansen, etc. It's just pure comedy at this point I saw Gregor Chisholm comment on this in that the Jays are tight lipped and that most of these rumors are coming from agents. As most of us all thought. (The rest of you actually think the Jays are trying on all of them and striking out.)

Welcome to the site Davy! Do you think Clement is starting material at 3B? Or should the Jays be looking to acquire someone better?

We don't discuss politics here fyi

Speaking of goalposts...

It definitely offended plenty of Blue Jays fans so I can see why it was tagged as sensitive content
-
I love that you're trying to insult him by using his ERA which has been pretty darn good, both in his career and last season.

Terminator replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
MLB's offseason is so long, I have talked myself in and out on all the remaining FAs about 10x over. Currently I am OUT on Santander but I am IN on Bregman. This is subject to change. -
Rickey's BABIP with us was .218

Brent Rooker signs 5/60 extension with the Athletics
Terminator replied to Stangstag's topic in Other Baseball
Yeah given his age I figured Rooker was closer to FA but he won't be until he's 33! This was his best chance to cash in. -
Yep. Sometimes with proven FIP-beaters you want to use RA-9 or something which is pure ERA based. Quintana has been a FIP beater for 3 years now but I'm not sure that means much.

Every man's goal in life should be to find himself a woman that loves him as much as the Reds loving acquiring infielders Just dumped India to help clear the logjam only to turn around and trade for another 2B

Terminator replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I want a transaction bad but the market has definitely cooled. Hopefully all of this patience pays off. Still some good players out there.
