  1. That's a good pickup for them. Can platoon with Dominic Calzone. Part of their problem has been zero bench and lineup depth in recent years but getting some guys like this helps. There is a long ways to go this offseason but I think the Mariners, Yankees and Jays are probably the top 3 AL teams.
  2. The A's traded for Jeff McNeil and the Mets threw in some money. They've got a pretty damn good lineup 1-9 now. Their pitching sucks though and it's going to be hard to sign guys until they get out of the minor league park in Sac.
  3. Springer and Taters are about the same in the field now. Springer is just old and his range is falling off a cliff and Taters was never quite as bad as people think. His range has been 29th to 38th percentile the past three years; that's not someone that needs to full-time DH. BUT, Taters suffers a DH penalty where his stats are worse when he DHs than when he is in the field and Springer is one of the few players who seemingly gets a DH boost. So all things considered, you want Taters in the field and Springer at DH.
  4. If the Jays are in on Tucker and Bo it makes sense to keep tabs on Bregman too. Both for baseball reasons and for negotiating tactics. If the Jays are already offering top-of-market money for Tucker or Bo but their agent is pushing for more, they may think twice if they know there is a chance for the Jays to to pivot to Bregman.
  5. Oh hell yeah. Someone send this idea to Ed Rogers.
  6. Let this be a lesson for everyone that the internet is a dangerous place full of lies If even the great Terminator himself can get bamboozled by a troll we all can Be careful out there
  7. Could have just signed Bassitt to a two year deal and kept all of the prospects.
  8. Did I fall for fake news? I think I did, he looks like a troll. Disregard.
  9. Wow, a 5 for 1!? Giving the Rays (a division rival no less) 5 chances to hit big is not something I would want to sign up for, especially when all I'm getting in return is 3 years of Shane Baz. I think there's a strong chance the O's end up regretting this one, and with a smart developmental org like the Rays getting 5 bites at the apple, it could turn into an all-time fleecing.
  10. Life is pretty good for Royals fans these days. Extended their superstar World Series hero is still on the team 11 years later (just go with it) They actually try to win by making moves in FA and via trade They are basically doing what the Pirates should be doing.
  11. 89th percentile FB velocity and one of just 36 pitchers in MLB to have hit as high as 101 on the gun last year. If he shoves in ST they'll probably find a spot for him.
  12. Keller signing with an NL team is good. Pretty much every AL contender (including the Yanks, O's, and Red Sox) could have really used him.
  13. The player options add value for King, but that's mitigated a little bit since the deal is backloaded. If you just game it out it seems pretty fair for both sides. Year 1: 22 mil Year 2: 28 mil Year 3: 30 mil King opts out after Year 1: That means he's leaving 2 years and 58 million on the table. Which probably means the Padres just got a pretty good year out of Michael King for the same amount of money as the QO. King opts out after Year 2: That means he's leaving 30 mil for one year on the table. He probably had a good second year on what amounted to a 2 year/45 mil deal. Padres would probably take that too. King never opts out: you wonder how effective he was during the contract, but if they didn't give him the opt out, it probably would have taken a 4th year or more AAV per year which would have been even worse.
  14. Seems like the NL teams have been far busier this offseason which bodes well for us
  15. I hear ya. Jays have been more active than anyone but every move we make only satisfies me for about 3 days before I start clamoring for another one. But imagine being a Yankee fan right now though lol
  16. That's a nice deal for the Guardians. He's been pretty darn good the past 3 years since adding a sweeper.
  17. Yeah and especially for the guys who only get the occasional cup of coffee. The Jays gave out 70 full shares but by my rough count they only had around 60 players make appearances this year. They were plenty generous. Hopefully Buddy Kennedy got payments from both the Jays and Dodgers.
  18. Is the $354,118 amount in addition to some sort of postseason salary? Or is this the only amount they get? Seems a little light tbh. They played an extra 18 games, all of which were in packed stadiums with maximum TV ratings. I guess if they didn't share so much of it, the shares for the 26 guys actually playing the games would look a lot better.
  19. Laika posting on the message board during his work breaks
  20. Remember when people wanted to literally tar and feather Atkins after he non-tendered Romano
  21. Yep, the team is friggin' stacked so guys who deserve to start are in the bullpen and guys who deserve to be on an MLB team are in Buffalo.
