    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    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.
  10. 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.
  12. glory
    LOL at that called strike 2 on Rendon.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.

    If you put Yankees and Dodgers uniforms on the players in this series, it would change everything about it from a ratings standpoint. Reality is ratings are down for this for the same reason they were down when the Royals and Giants played each other. It's the teams, not the players. This isn't the NBA where LeBron could play for freakin Cleveland, go up against an unbeatable team, and still have fans watch it knowing it will be a one sided bloodbath. Baseball is regional with very few mainstream appealing franchises. You could have two all star teams playing in this series and the ratings wouldn't change. Of course if you don't care about that stuff then none of this matters, but if the Jays are out of it, then I like when the game is heavily featured and talked about. It's not right now, for the reasons I mentioned.

    Yeah, this is definitely the least interesting matchup since 2014, which I can't even type without wanting to dose off (KC/SFG). This is just one of those years where it will be hard to get non baseball fans to care as much. Although I am glad Soto is getting a big stage like this. For what he is doing at age 20, he is going to be one of the top stars in the game.

    Just random links from Google search: https://www.thewrap.com/world-series-game-1-ratings-washington-nationals-houston-astros-fox/ https://www.thewrap.com/world-series-game-2-tv-ratings/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/world-series-ratings-drop-again-game-3-1250286 On the bright side, Game 5 of a 2-2 series on a Sunday night with Cole/Scherzer on the mound might help. I just like seeing more eyeballs on MLB. Won't happen this year unfortunately with the WS matchup.
  22. glory
    Man if the Astros hold this one and have Cole and Verlander in the next two games, I might have to revise the team of destiny thing about the Nats. Firing that assistant must have been the sacrifice the baseball gods wanted. Ratings for this series are record lows. MLB really needed the Yankees/Dodgers to happen.
  23. glory
    Yeah if he wants something completely unreasonable from the Jays then you make a fair offer and move on. Ultimately this is all for nothing. Shatkins doesn’t operate like this and expecting Rogers to approve a $200-300m commitment is unrealistic.
  24. glory
    Agreed. I think Cole should be the target this winter. He's a Boras guy. He's not taking less money to sign in his preferred destination. He will sign with the team that pays him the most. The Jays will likely have to give him more than anyone else by a significant margin (maybe an extra year or more AAV), but that's free agency. Cole being a Boras guy actually helps the Jays in a weird way. There's no excuse not to go after him. This is not a Kawhi situation where he wants to go to Cali and no where else. Boras guys go where the green is, and for once that actually plays right into the Jays' hands if they are willing to pony up. And considering they are a bad team playing in Canada, they will have to pony up. Any offer close to a better situation won't get it done. They'd need to have the strongest offer by a significant margin. However, I just don't see this front office working like that. This seems like an org that wants to develop their stars internally and fill in the gaps with free agency, not the other way around.
