  1. This is the dumbest idea I think I've ever heard
  2. Solid signing though I'm not upset the Jays passed at that price. That would get a pretty solid reliever and the Jays have so many holes in the pen and elsewhere that dumpster diving for a 1-3 mil catcher is where I hope they end up.
  3. Same goes for the CBT
  4. They aren’t circumventing the CBA with deferrals and signing bonuses. The CBA accounts for that. The only thing they are circumventing is CA state income tax.
  5. Yeah the Snell deal is a good bit better than his projections. After factoring in the deferrals and everything it's 5 years and 34.3 per year. I'd be hesistant at that price as it is but to beat the Dodgers we'd probably need to throw in another year or up the AAV 5+ mil. I was beating the Snell drum as loud as anyone (and once again I am totally vindicated as the best franchise in sports was thinking similarly) but if we are going to spend THAT much money, I'd rather just go and get someone safer like Adames who projects for the same amount of WAR but has less risk since he's 3 years younger and a hitter.
  6. Those numbers are nearly worthless. Ohtani is listed at 2 mil but the actual number is about 46 million.
  7. That’s a massive number for Snell. Will be interested to see the deferrals. Everyone will lose their mind but it’ll still come out to some whopping number over 5 years. Crazy after the offseason he had last year.
  8. Yeah and to add, jumping the market and getting a guy to sign this early in FA probably adds a little bit of a premium as well.
  9. I agree, I think he remains a Jay. But I think he signs an extension right before some sort of self-imposed spring training deadline. If he heads to FA I'm not sure how that will play out. The Yankees have a certain sort of stature that the Jays don't. If Vlad dips his toes in FA and he's getting strong offers from some of the premier teams as well as some southern teams it seems more plausible that he could leave. Whereas with Judge, if he left the Yankees to join San Fran it's kind of a downgrade.
  10. Oh wait so we gave you good advice? Apology retracted.
  11. Chris Sale wins the Cy Young award. On behalf of the board, I would like to APOLOGIZE (see, it's not that hard if you're a real man) to jaysblue for telling him to drop Sale for fantasy purposes. I can't remember who we told you to pick up instead, but I'm pretty sure it was a scrub. Sorry pal, we done goofed.
  12. MLB's offseason sucks. It's the best sport for armchair GMing, but the turtle like pace at which the transactions happen really puts a damper on it.
  13. Does it even work like that? Doesn't seem like anyone other than Soto's camp would even know what the best offers were do they? So how would the Mets know what 50M over best offer even is? Just take Scott Boras' word for it?
  14. I saw David Bell hit a game-winning single off of K-Rod in Game 4 of the 2002 World Series in San Francisco. Geezus I am getting old.
  15. I'm starting to come around to this idea too. A 5 million dollar investment might give you a nice bump in WAR that you couldn't get otherwise. At a minimum, I would like to see a couple mil thrown at a Reese McGuire type. He can kind of hit righties at least.
  16. Brian Serven might be the worst professional athlete to ever take the field, court, rink, etc. The fact that he gets cups of coffee in the big leagues tells you all you need to know about how hard the catching position is.
  17. He’s alive! Was hoping you were okay since I haven’t seen you around since November 5th (NFL trade deadline day). Might be time for a new avatar though.
  18. I'm starting to come back around to this line of thinking. If Vlad isn't going to play ball with us at all, then we shouldn't extend him. If you think about it, we could simply sign someone like Bregman for 180 million which would be roughly HALF of what Vlad is presumably looking to get. I'm not sure that he's half the player either. I still think I'm in for Devers money, and perhaps I'd pay a little more for inflation. But if he wants anything more than that I pass.
  19. What if you refresh the browser? Should come up then
  20. I have it on good authority that he reads the board and that the heat is really getting to him. He was particularly stressed out when his last defenders (Spanky and I) jumped ship.
  21. Oh yeah they are probably the 2nd most storied franchise in MLB despite playing in a shithole of a city. One of the great franchises of all time. It's probably what is leading to their downfall though. Clinging to "the Cardinal way" as the rest of the league evolves.
  22. Nice, we are officially in Carlos Baerga season. I assume he gets all of his news from drinking beer and bullshitting with his old MLB buddies in Puerto Rico.
  23. The Angels are off to a hot start. Jumping the market for a guy with an 84 mph fastball after trading for a statue who will clog up the DH spot.
