    He's looking pretty slim
  2. Terminator
    He doesn't walk a ton for a premier slugger, he's even worse defensively than Soto and has been more inconsistent. So I don't think he ever gets Soto money but I agree he would get more than Ohtani. Probably quite a bit more if he could put up numbers like that.

    I guess if you're in Vlad's camp, your hope is that whatever he did from June 1 on is simply the new normal and that will carry over to 2025. He hit the absolute piss out of the ball by slashing .343/.403/.620 in 450 plate appearances. That would get him into the 7 to 8 WAR territory he would need to start pushing well beyond 500 mil IMO.
  5. Terminator
    400M is a great deal for Vlad. If he repeats 2024, he could get higher, but I don't think it will be much higher. He'll need to have some sort of Judge-like walk year where he raises his game to completely new levels to get a ton more than 400M. If he gets hurt or repeats 2023, then he's looking at a little bit better terms than what Pete Alonso just got. I think with recent leaks revealing how close they are, he's trying to get more but it's squeezing blood out of a stone at this point. Maybe he'll get another drop but I think the deal will get done before Opening Day.

    Orioles ace Cade Povich is getting shelled by the Jays today. Varsho's homer looked like it traveled 500 feet.
  7. Terminator
    He's going to take whatever the Jays final offer is right before the season starts.

    https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/vladimir-guerrero-jr-focused-on-winning-during-contract-year It seems like Vlad wants the extension, he's just trying to get the Jays to come up more.
  9. Terminator
    As Jays fans would we want the Expos back? Probably a net negative for the Jays bottom dollar? But also kind of cool to have them back?
  10. Terminator
    Interesting points about the expansion fee. It makes sense why they want the Rays owner to sell and then keep the team in Tampa under new ownership rather than allowing the current owner to move them.
  11. Terminator
    I'd take a flyer on Kimbrel. He's been really inconsistent over the years but he has bounced back before and I think he can do it again. Probably not a dominant closer but he could at least be a decent setup man as he can still miss bats. You always want to buy low on him anyway. Only dumb teams like the Orioles or Cubs ever buy high on him.

    railed on = the new tarred and feathered?

    This is a great article! Barger yanking 440 foot homers out of the stadium has me intrigued too. He also projects well. Get him ABs early and if he struggles he can be optioned for Roden. Wagner's projections are great but getting both him and Barger ABs could be hard early on. I think they can do it by working them in at 3B Nance's stuff is intriguing, though he's never really put up good numbers at any level and is 34. I can't stand Zach Pop but his Stuff+ and Location+ should be good enough to be decent. But for some reason he can't really seem to put it together either. Yarbrough is slightly intriguing to me. The Jays might be squeezing more juice out of him than the Dodgers and if we get injuries (or if Francis and Yariel continue to suck) he might be a serviceable bulk pitcher.

    You would think that Vlad's agency, which is new and owned by singer Marc Antony, would be fairly risk-averse. They are trying to make a name for themselves and landing a $450M dollar deal for their premier client would help put them on the map by shattering the record for a 1B. If they screw it up it would be a big stumbling block right out of the gate.
  16. Terminator
    Agreed. I think Vlad's camp is leaking it and he wants to go back to the negotiating table.
  17. Terminator
    They are really close. Vlad has probably stretched them as far as they could possibly go so he just needs to take some more deferrals to get his $500 mil and get this damn thing done.
  18. Terminator
    Yeah we can probably field a lineup where you are comfortable with 1-3 and 6-9 right now. But all told we've got 17 guys who project to hit league average or better. Hopefully a couple of them step up and the lineup is rocking 1-9.
  19. Terminator
    Rosenthal is reporting the same. So Vlad wants 500 mil and the Jays offered him 400-450 in present day value.
  20. Terminator
    https://nypost.com/2025/03/11/sports/blue-jays-contract-offer-to-vladimir-guerrero-jr-revealed/ Vlad turned down 500 mil (400-450 present day value). He's absolutely nuts if true. It's going to be hard for him to get much more than that, but there are plenty of scenarios where he gets hundreds of millions less.
  21. Terminator
    Yeah most of them project around 2 WAR or so. If we can get a couple of them to hit their 75-80th percentile projections then we would have some damn good players on our hands.
  22. Terminator
    I think Walker did sign a major league deal, but he does have an option still. So he can still be optioned to MiLB. Pretty sure anyway.
  23. Terminator
    Spring stats don't mean much but if they did then you'd be pretty thrilled as most of the team is raking. And if those two struggle they won't "be in the middle or top of our lineup" for long. Gimenez will stay in and hit 9th and Springer will become a platoon bat.

    Our roster is built for the Grapefruit League as AAA and AA are littered with guys that project to be okay big league hitters. We have something close to 20 guys who project close to 100 wRC+.
