    Why is this even the least bit controversial? Surely you guys know me well enough by now to know that I'm not some casual fan screaming at the Jays for signing AAA trash. Of course all teams do it. Matter of fact I think we should tank this year. But think about it, we traded Diaz for a fringe prospect who probably won't contribute this year, said we were looking for a veteran SS and subsequently signed Sogard. We also need SPs and have watched numerous backend guys get taken off the board. The Sogard signing certainly doesn't preclude us from acquiring anyone better than him but nothing I've seen, read or heard about this offseason makes me think we will. I'm sure Sogard's team discussed this with the Jays before he signed as well. Not that he has any pull but he's going to go where he has a shot to make a team. So yeah, I think we are going to suck this year and the Sogard signing makes me slightly more certain of that. I hope I'm wrong though!

    Been saying it for a while but moves like this are further cementing it.

    We are going to suck this year

    I had no idea Anibal Sanchez was a thing again. Now he's getting 20 mil.

    Yeah I am slightly worried about that. This could be an ugly year which would make for 3 bad years in a row. I just hope ownership will be patient because the fans aren't going to be.

    Beat writers usually suck but Gregor Chisholm might be the exception. Decent Q and A about the offseason. https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/who-will-stick-as-blue-jays-shortstop/c-301972254

    They need to increase the veterans committee to like 500 voters or more and make them from different eras. When you get 20 guys all from Baines' era it's easy for nepotism and good 'ole boys to vote each other in. Harder to do that with a bigger, more diverse pool of veterans who are voting.

    We need to put some rules in. A nominating process, a 75% threshold, etc. We need a small Hall, not a big one. Spanky is a surefire no doubt first ballot hall of famer though. No question.

    Like much of California, San Fran is a city of haves and have-nots. If you're pulling in millions a year it's probably a great place to be.

    The Romano's and Bergen's of the world exist everywhere and all the time. Old for their level AA pitchers that could become decent relievers. Big whoop. I like that the Jays are trying to exploit the system (Elvis' contract situation is the only reason a guy like him was exposed) by taking an actual 18 year old prospect with upside. Elvis could become a #3 starting pitcher. Romano wasn't even a very effective #3 SP in AA at age 25.

    It probably is bad for his development (although not catastrophic)but from the team's perspective what do they really care? It's the only way to get a player like him for free. And they can't feel too bad for him, they'll probably develop him better this way than the Royals would the normal way anyway.

    Yeah watching Tellez all year doesn't sound so appealing.
  13. Terminator
    Yanks and Red Sox are powerhouses and the Rays are going for it. I think it's the way to go too.

    The point is these guys aren't all that much worse than Smoak and are basically let go and picked up for close to peanuts. Smoak might be better but I doubt it means he nets a good return. I hope I'm wrong I'd love to see him traded for an actual prospect.
  15. Terminator
    Yeah I saw that on the Score App. Seems like a good fit but I can't imagine he carries a ton of value.

    Oh ok I thought his 2020 contract was guaranteed.

    They get all spring to scout him now. If he's good enough for MLB, they'll treat him with kid gloves. Let him throw 2 or 3 innings in blowouts once in a blue moon. The odd inning here or there. Throw some phantom DL stints at him too. Just find a way to live with a 6 ERA reliever netting you 50 innings. If he's not good enough at the end of ST, but they determine they like him, they could try and trade for him. Otherwise just give him back.

    Yeah I don't get why the Mariners did this at all.

    Here are the only two write ups that Fangraphs has on Luciano.

    Looks like EE is going to the Rays.
  23. Terminator
    Yeah I was almost thinking TJS would be the best for us. What a horrible system for a player though lol.
  24. Terminator
    How does taking him facilitate a trade?
  25. Terminator
    Yeah I posted that above in Davidi's tweet.
