I am watching it on TSN2

Yep, Cimber has one more arb year - 2024

I think any potential deal with the Cards was contingent on the Cards not signing Contreras. When the Cards did sign Contreras I think it's not realistic to blame the Jays for not making a deal. We will never know what the framework of the deal was

Found an interesting article on the Rule 5 draft + prospects that need to be added to 40 man rosters https://www.mlb.com/news/rule-5-draft-prospects-protected-on-40-man-rosters I assume the Jays and other teams would prefer not to sign a FA prior to Nov 15 as those players would need to added to the 40 man roster and as such, a prospect would have to be exposed in the Rule 5 draft

Thanks, works great

Anyone find a streaming site to watch the game?

Anyone know why Tiedemann hasn't pitched since July 8? He participated in the Futures game and then was promoted to New Hampshire but his player's page says he is on 'temporarily inactive list'

Not sure what you mean by punted pick savings. Like Cats Ass said if Barriera doesn't sign the Jays lose his slot value of $3,075,300 ... as such, there is no punted pick savings when any player taken in rounds 1 - 10 are not signed

Here is what Mayo posted ... A product of Florida power American Heritage -- the same high school that produced Eric Hosmer and Deven Marrero among other recent big leaguers -- Barriera was the top left-handed pitcher of any kind on our Draft Top 250. He has three above-average pitches. His fastball goes up to 96, and he possesses a low-80s slider and an outstanding changeup, all of which he can command very well, especially for a high schooler. – Mayo

I am pretty sure he was assigned to Vancouver Just checked ... he is showing on Vancouver's roster > 7 day injured list

Very good explanation ... thanks

The Rule 5 draft was cancelled

As I understand the rules, only rounds 1-10 have specific slot (bonus) values but for rounds 11-20 if a player is signed for more than $125K than the excess is charged to the team's total slot pool for rounds 1-10 and could impact the signing of players in these first 10 rounds

Upcoming schedule - tough I just checked the schedule thinking it would start to get easier but the next 13 games are: - 3 (Houston), 3 (ChiW), 4 (Boston), 3 (Yankees)

Can someone clarify the rules regarding Reese McGuire? When Kirk is healthy and ready to return, could McGuire be sent to Buffalo without having to clear waivers? If he has to clear waivers, I think he would be claimed. Options - Jays temporarily assign Kirk to Buffalo until they decide to trade Jansen or McGuire? It might make more sense to trade Jansen (more trade value) than McGuire or in a larger trade deal Kirk with Moreno becoming the future catcher
