It's also weirdly matter-of-fact. You'd think he would break the news himself in a tweet on his timeline rather than nonchalantly dropping a bomb in a random reply chain.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Orgfiller replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Steve Cohen and Sandy Alderson confirmed betas. -
This may be a hot take (although I don't think it's that outlandish), Bichette is a more valuable asset than Gleyber Torres and that asking price was a non starter for the Yankees. Now obviously the Reds aren't in any rush to move Castillo, so if their asking price is one of those two then quite clearly there is no discussion to be had.

I was waiting all f***ing night for Passan to confirm or deny it. George Springer is a Blue Jay! -

This is the first actual reputable reporter to weigh in on this. Rosenthal is saying it's a 70% chance of happening based on how close the negotiations are. Still not convinced until the contract is actually signed. -

Ah yes, if 3rd year dental student and part time Blue Jays blogger Wins and Flosses with their 500 followers says so then that's all I needed to sleep tonight. -
Interesting that the $15M option in the final year is even more of a poison pill than we already knew about if he gets traded. Hendriks' agent did very well for their client. You also have to think other teams were coming in with similar if not more aggressive AAVs for fewer years or less guaranteed money for that fourth year and that's what it took for the White Sox to land him.
-
Walker wouldn't be a better addition than Tanaka or Paxton. Hell I don't think he'd be better than any of Porcello, Odorizzi, Shoemaker, Happ, Quintana or Chris Archer who would all cost similar or less and likely produce more.
-
Hendriks has been the best reliever in baseball since 2019 with an uptick in fasbtall velocity and stuff. He was as valuable in 2019 as Luis Castillo and that's not even accounting for the leverage index which doesn't currently get captured by WAR and arguably makes elite relievers much more valuable. He's getting less than Aroldis Chapman currently and Kenley Jansen's last deal.

Tyler Chatwood is who people think Robbie Ray is.

This is an embarrassing post for anyone over the age of like 25.

Jesus Christ Abom.

DJLM is like two tiers removed from the player Donaldson is/was lol. Donaldson who's 2.5 years older projects better than LeMahieu by over half a win in 10 fewer games.
-
So you agree you made a senseless post with no connection between the two. Thanks.

Toronto literally has a major sports championship from less than two years ago.

Hard pass on Marvin Bagley. He's awful and his dad is a headcase ala Lavar Ball. Zach Collins would be neat but he's been injured for like 2 seasons now, I'm not even sure when he would play for us.
-
Boucher is amazing, but his build means he's far too slim to guard some of the more traditional/larger bigs in the league - Nurkic, Jokic, Embiid, DeAndre Ayton, etc. Baynes has been horrendous and looks completely washed, Len is basically nonexistent on the offensive side and while he's a bit more of a presence on defense his play is still not up to par. So that leaves our 6'11 220 lbs toothpick as the only big we can rely on and because he's so skinny he gets bodied by bigger players and gets into foul trouble often. Keep in mind our big rotation is so bad that we're already playing OG Anunoby significant minutes at the 5 position which is unsustainable for him physically and also leads to him getting into foul trouble against larger players. Baynes hasn't played in like 3 games and Len is averaging something like 5 minutes over the past 5.

Yeah I looked on fangraphs and this is how they delimit their free agent classes as well so I was mistaken before.
-
I'm fine with it either way as long as we keep it consistent.
-
Technically it's the 2020 offseason, the 2021 offseason begins following the 2021 World Series, so the original title was fine. This thread was created following the Jays getting knocked out of the WC so it should remain as before.

You're kidding right? -
He's always shot like this, it just used to be moderately successful before this season. Check out this career game he had less than a year ago: What happened to that guy? Like I said before it's like he's aged a decade since that game happened, like damn I know he's old and has dealt with injuries but he just fell off a cliff physically and skill wise it seems.
-
I'd just like to interject with extreme pedantry and mention that who Roark "normally is" - rather, normally was - is actually a serviceable average to above innings eater. His career ERA- is 8% better than average, FIP- exactly average, and xFIP 3% worse than average and that's including the god awful 2020 season which definitely skewed those numbers in the wrong direction. Roark is older and probably sucks really badly now but for his career up to 2019 he was exactly what most teams would have wanted out of their #4/#5, a durable innings eater who keeps your team in the game most of the time. Not saying he was Jack Morris exactly but he was very valuable for the Nats.

The top free agent pitcher in the market saw his spin rate increase dramatically while on the Reds while also previously complaining and claiming that the only way to do this was to use foreign substances on the ball.
