Jays probably have a pitch mix plan for him. Could see him add a splitter or something to get to that extra gear. Love that he signed so early. Locking in him and Bieber before December is a best-case scenario. The World Series will be easy to make again
-
Yeah he needs to sign with a dumpster fire of a team simply so he can get an opportunity to try and get a big league deal next year. Rockies or someone like that. I don't think a decent team would have the room to give him a shot. I suppose he could sign a minor league deal with a good team and then opt out when he doesn’t make the roster. That seems plausible.

Final tally: Mitch White: 0.5 WAR "Future Superstar" Nick Frasso: 0 WAR Looks like I was right once again boys, we won the trade. Now everyone do the right thing and apologize (you know who you are).

https://www.fangraphs.com/players/carlos-mendoza/sa3008944/stats?position=2B/OF Fangraphs' player page uses the Mets Manager's picture when he was a coach with the Yankees lol. He looks mildly interesting in that he's a lefty who can draw walks. But he doesn't play SS or CF, he's more of a 2B/3B/OF type which tells me his defense might not be that great. So probably not a guy.

Yeah now that you mention it, it's kind of a fruitless exercise because It just goes based off nothing more than projections. It doesn't speculate on what teams will do this offseason, if a team has a need that it hasn't filled yet it just assigns the WAR for the player currently in that spot even if he's unlikely to be there when the season starts. Teams that have yet to replace their FAs that just left are going to be hit hard by a list like this. Teams that are going to sell or not do much (like the Twins) play up. I guess it's useful in that you know what kind of a baseline you are working with right now. I imagine by the end of the offseason we will be Top 5ish.

Yeah that's kind of funny. I suppose it makes sense in that these guys are cheap to acquire so if you are higher on them then everyone else, they'll often end up on your team.

Congratulations to the poverty-stricken Rays on reattaching the roof to their stadium

In addition to bringing Iglesias back, the Braves also traded Nick Allen to the Astros for Mauricio Dubon. Dubon is a lot better but the Astros are trying to get under the tax. Allen is projected to be about 4 million bucks cheaper and also has 3 more years of control to Dubon's one.

Does Bellinger's pull-heavy, low exit-velo approach make him a Yankee Stadium merchant? Or would that approach work at RC too?

This is something I'm trying to be better at 99% of the board feuds would end if people quit worrying about this
-
This guy wouldn't be bad. Zips projects him to have a 117 wRC+ and I don't imagine that he'll break the bank. But as a 1B/3B he's not a great fit positionally unless Bo doesn't return. -
In the past 10 seasons the Colorado Rockies have more playoff wins than the Baltimore Orioles
-
Ward’s arb projection is nearly 14 million. Puzzling acquisition to say the least. Maybe an Orioles fanboy (zero playoff wins btw) could explain this trade for me? Or do you guys even exist anymore?
-
Orioles Hangout is not taking this trade very well lmao

Makes sense for all four to take the 22 mil IMO. Grisham – I am curious what it signals for the Yankees. In some ways I think it makes Tucker a more viable option for them instead of falling back on Belli. Or do they just keep Dominguez? Woodruff – Only 120 innings over three years and the velocity dip last year meant he probably wasn't getting much more than this. A rebound season could set him up for a solid multi year deal. Imanaga – Good call for him. The Cubs are pretty cheap, so this eats into their offseason budget. Torres – The market is cold on him, so locking in 22 mil was smart. The Tigers are also cheap, and with one shaky defensive middle infielder already, it is hard to see them chasing Bo despite some speculation. Michael King and Zac Gallen aren't that much better than these 4 but rejected it. Will be interesting to see how they do.
-
I wonder what Grisham returning to the Yanks means for them. On one hand, it does tie up more of their payroll. On the other hand, I thought that Bellinger was probably a better fit for them than Tucker because Belli can play CF. Now that Grisham is in the fold for another year, they could just play him in CF for one more year and turn to Tucker to play a corner spot. Or they could just forget both Tucker and Belli and go with Dominguez in LF.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2025)
Terminator replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If Brownie Jr. is going to make the big leagues then dear old dad is going to have to step up his game. Time to empty out that retirement account and start making some risky calls and puts. Junior's MLB career is on the line. -
Another Closing Option for the Blue Jays To Consider
Terminator replied to Jim Scott's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The inverse is also true. Why give the Rays something when you can turn around and sign him (or a comparable talent) in FA for similar terms to what his option would have been? That way you won't get tarred and feathered when the Rays take an 18 year old lotto ticket off your hands who turns into a 3 WAR player -
Anytime Jim disagrees you know you are on the right track👍
-
I'm going to get tarred and feathered for this, BUT if Bo REALLY wants to stay at SS and it makes the difference in signing here or not I'd tell him he can have SS for the upcoming season but nothing is guaranteed beyond that. You guys are going to hate this, but in theory, whatever is to be gained by Bo moving from SS (poor defense) to 2B (solid) is probably negated by whatever is lost from Gimenez moving from 2B (god-like) to SS (above average). In other words, it's kind of a zero sum game and probably doesn't matter that much.
