    Torres at SS and DJL at 2B. They don't need Didi, and he'd probably accept.

    Ryu is the best pitcher without a qualifying offer from the looks of it, so I would agree with this. I'd try to sign Ryu and then try to get a lottery ticket on a one year deal (Pineda, Salazar, Wacha). That covers all bases. A reliable average dependable innings guy (Anderson), someone who can be a top of the rotation starter at his best (Ryu), and then a complete shot in the dark with upside but can't rely on them (lottery ticket). Of course you could replace the latter with another innings eater if the price is reasonable and want to avoid risk. Either one is fine.

    Yeah I’m glad Tepera was dropped. Doesn’t save much $ but an extra 40 man roster spot is more valuable. Jays need to take advantage of how inexpensive free agency is now. Cleaning up the 40 man roster junk is imperative.
  4. glory
    Yes but they want to cut payroll. JDM opting in means they'll have to trade others (Betts).

    I was hoping the Red Sox held on to Dombrowski for a few more years, and hated that they replaced him with a Tampa guy, but JD Martinez showing that DD still has some fingerprints in Boston.

    I don't expect the Jays to sign anyone with a qualifying offer, but I don't think this trade really tells us anything except 1) Shatkins likes Anderson, and 2) they got him for a nothing prospect because they could afford to absorb his salary without having it impact the rest of their off season. Where the Jays might regret the trade is if the market for pitchers like him proves to be a lot cheaper than what they are going to pay him in 2020, but even then, no guarantee those pitchers sign with the Jays unless they overpay anyway, so it isn't a huge deal. If he sucks, then buy him out. If he's good, then either trade him or you have a solid back end starter for 2/18. Not much downside.

    Odorizzi is getting the qualifying offer. Cross him off the list (for the Jays).
  8. glory
    As a reliever, absolutely. No chance he can be a SP.
  9. glory
    Odorizzi at 3/45 (assuming no QO) and Gibson at 2/20 would be a no brainers. I suspect Odorizzi would get more than that.

    Shatkins is about 'spreading the risk'. Anderson is one piece to what will probably be a few other pieces added to the rotation. Whether those other pieces are significantly better than Anderson is the question.

    Spanberger going to the Brewers. I mean, giving up crap for a capable MLB starter is a pretty solid return, if not boring as hell. Hopefully the FIP beating is sustainable.
  12. glory
    Hmmm I thought he was arb eligible. That's more than I would have spent on Anderson, at least until I knew what the SP market was going to be like. Hopefully they didn't give up much.
  13. glory
    Surprised they traded for Anderson before the FA market began.

    Something to keep an eye on, there are going to be some non tenders and options not being picked up for players that can help the Jays. This is where free agency can be an asset.

    I think the Twins are a better example of what BTS is going for with signing vetrins. They got Cruz, Schoop, Perez, Marwin, etc, for reasonable prices in free agency. It's a good way to add depth. Most of the WAR will have to come from the young internal pieces though. Free agency is just the inexpensive depth option now, and maybe you get lucky with one FA overachieving.

    Harper's "bring a title back to DC" slip up is going to have some momentum in the next few days.
  17. glory
    Series definitely picked up in Games 6 and 7 after a dull first 5 games. Good for the Nats, and at least one ex-Jay did well (Hudson) after Smith and Osuna had rough outings. Finally the off season begins.
  18. glory
    No way I'm trusting Hudson to get the final 3 outs even with a 4 run lead. He had a decent season but nah. Stay with Corbin. He's dealing and it's only one more inning.

    I'm glad the umps are messing up at the biggest stage because hopefully that forces the league to finally change. Some of the called strikes have been ridiculous. Borderline is one thing, but some of these aren't even that.
  20. glory
    LOL at that called strike 2 on Rendon.
  21. glory
    I' m curious to see how the Nats manage the pen. I wouldn't feel comfortable with any of their relievers in a one run game that decides the World Series, and I'm not sure they'd bring Strasburg back out to pitch an inning on no rest. They might go with Corbin and Sanchez the rest of the way.
  22. glory
    Wow I was sure Cole was going to come in out of the pen after Greinke. Harris and now Osuna instead, and the lead is gone. The next couple of innings are going to be crazy.
  23. glory
    Scherzer literally couldn't move a couple of days ago. I wouldn't expect a great performance out of him. The bats have to get going against Greinke because there's a good chance Cole comes in at some poinr.

    In trades? Kluber and Archer might be available if the Indians and Pirates want to dump salary (and in Pitts case they will have a new front office that are more likely to tank than try to win now). I would think you wouldn't need to give up a top prospect to acquire either of those guys if they were available. Although, Archer signed one of those "I'll bend over and let Tampa F me for my entire prime" contracts so he's still cheap enough for the Pirates to hold on to even if they rebuild. In free agency, the middle group of free agent Sp's are probably all realistic. Gibson, Pineda, Roark, Miley, Porcello, etc, etc.

    Lol Soto is awesome for carrying the bat to 1st and dropping it. Brian McCann watching this game at home and yelling at everyone around him, most likely. Unwritten rules and all that.
