It might save them some money, and they might have still liked Loperfido from back when they traded him to us.

Jesus Sanchez is lefty Teoscar Hernández with worse contact quality and not quite as fast. Crazy raw power, bad plate discipline, generally low IQ player with the tools to be a good defender but isn’t. The story of his career has been if he can get to the power often enough. If he traded a number of GBs for FBs he would probably be really good.

Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2026)
Orgfiller replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
A below average hitter at DH isn't really the solution to our offensive woes. And you'll be sorry you ever considered him in the outfield if you ever see him out there. Could be a decent pinch hitter against lefties off the bench I guess? You can't even platoon him at DH since the other guy is Springer who is also right handed and much better. -
Pretty decent get for the Nats for 2 years of Gore, although I'm sure the Rangers are fine with what they're giving up. Always feels like there's an extra level to unlock but Gore just has never really truly broken out. Rosario was a huge helium guy after 2024 and yes I'm pretty sure he broke and had TJS. Worst part is, he spent all of 2025 trying to heal normally and he just recently had the TJS, so he'll miss all of 2026 as well.

Oh s*** it's finally happened.

Clement and Davis Schneider against RHP. He has a career 130 wRC+ against RHP, 88 against LHP so even the floor is not too bad if you're "stuck" with him having to stay in the game in a pinch hitting opportunity that doesn't pan out. The real question is, is he worth the floor raise for the price of acquisition? Certainly the team's depth becomes insane if he's added into the mix, without taking away a guy like Clement or Barger in the process. Even DS could be expendable in such a deal, the team clearly doesn't value him as much of an asset.
-
I think this is his way of saying yeah it would've been nice to run it back, but I got offered money I couldn't turn down for purely emotional reasons from the Mets (and possibly Phillies as well, as it turns out).
-
Another Boras masterclass. Hard pass on Bellinger at those terms.
-
Arguably neither team should do that trade. The Brewers especially should not do that trade.
-
If the Jays used Davis Schneider more this wouldn't have happened anyway. At the end of the day, Bichette's injury and the timing of it cost them dearly, it's hard to replace guys like that in the most important spots of the playoffs when you've been counting on them all season.
-
The Jays weren't trying to pay Kyle Tucker $100M in 2026 after accounting for the luxury tax hit. There's not many teams that can get away with what the Dodgers and Mets are doing. The former are printing money with Ohtani and their TV deal, and the latter is a rich ******* who spends for fun. Rogers doesn't quite have that luxury, as profitable as the Jays have been over the last calendar year.
-
Yeah I think the Okamoto addition effectively rendered a Donovan acquisition moot. Good player and cheap, but for the acquisition cost you might as well roll out with Ernie and Barger who may be just as good.
-
I can't believe the Vlad contract doesn't even look that unreasonable already. If he was a free agent he'd have the Mets trying to pair him with Soto as a Pete Alonso replacement, and the Dodgers probably bidding for him for shits and giggles to replace Max Muncy. Probably gets 70M AAV for 5 years or creeps up on the Soto deal.
-
I'm not sure there's many teams in the league that can get away with the contracts the Dodgers and Mets are offering some of these guys. Even with the luxury tax being a factor, the Mets and Dodgers are spitting in the face of it and willing to pay more than double per dollar in those short term high AAV deals. This made sense when these deals were given out to starters particularly older ones, but for mid prime star position players this is pretty unheard of. Lowering the CBT hit by artificially lowering the AAV with more years is still something a lot of teams would likely prefer over paying significant premiums for the luxury tax.
-
How much does Dylan Cease get if he’s still available in free agency at this point? 3/140? Ross Atkins and team with some excellent timing locking him down early to reasonable terms.
-
This is probably a good thing, if we drive the price on Bellinger way up and the Yankees end up on an awful deal.
-
They literally signed the top FA starting pitcher, the KBO MVP and arguably the top NPB bat available lol. Even Rogers can't afford to carelessly spend money like this.
-
Bichette at third base is going to be an absolute adventure. Lindor gonna hate his life having to cover for that.
-
These AAVs are insane. Teams are just completely forgoing the back end of the bad contracts and throwing out silly values for the short term. Bo basically made half of what he was projected to get over 8 years in a 3 year deal.
-
No, lol. All of those guys are fringy (at best) at third, they would look awful in the middle infield. Bo for all his defensive flaws still has a decade of experience at the hardest defensive position that isn't catcher, it's not surprising he can look passable at 2B over a small sample size. Their range would be exposed, Barger's cannon of an arm wouldn't do him very much when he's seeing balls roll past him up the middle.
-
Wouldn't be a Blue Jays offseason without a fake MoccBomb
-
Ah, that changes your post quite a bit lol. In that case I agree.
-
Suarez starts since becoming a full-time rotation mainstay (age 26 season onwards): 2022 - 29 GS 2023 - 22 GS 2024 - 27 GS 2025 - 26 GS He's never pitched an entire season while being fully healthy, and I don't expect that to suddenly change starting in his age 30 season unless you know something I don't. He carries quite a bit of injury risk, even relative to the usual injury risk that all pitchers do. He's also lost over 2 mph of velo since 2023.
-
I mean, not exactly a hot take since he was the top available FA starter lol. The competition is: Sonny Gray (Sox) Ranger Suarez (Sox) Johan Oviedo (Sox) Shane Baz (O's) Zach Eflin (O's) Ryan Weathers (Yankees) - lol Cody Ponce (Jays) Shane Bieber (Jays), arguably since he was already on the roster so wasn't "added" to it per se Steven Matz? (Rays) The Sox have by far improved the most on the pitching side, and it doesn't even compare to the 2/3 the Jays added.
-
I like Ranger Suarez a lot, but his injury history and declining velo are great indicators for this hopefully being a terrible contract that could look awful as soon as the third season.
