    Yeah, Harper and Machado are both likely sitting on lucrative deals waiting to see if anyone tops it. I doubt they will settle for a s***** deal. Although I would love if the Jays swooped in and signed Harper. I mean, they have to spend money on somebody over the next 7 years, right? Might as well be an elite young player in his prime (....I know it's not going to happen). MLB really needs to change its free agency rules. Fans salivate over NBA free agency because signings happen quickly. Baseball is already known as the "boring" sport during the season. The last few off seasons have been torture. Make a signing deadline for all FA's, or something.

    Seriously. “Gave US a chance to win a ring”? You weren’t playing Brandy. This decision isn’t about you, it’s about your husband and what he wanted. I hope the Toronto media doesn’t go the PC route here (which I’m sure they will). Brandy prefers the Phillies org so she is going against her deceased husband’s wishes to do this s***. BS.

    Yeah I tried to go easy on her since she is a widow but she hasn’t offered up any reasoning that makes sense for why she did this. If Roy didn’t care and wanted to go in like this, then fine, but he flat out said he wanted to go in as a Jay and retired as a Jay. This is straight ******** going against her husband’s wishes. Unless he privately told her he wanted to do this prior to this death, which at age 40 I don’t think he was thinking of a posthumous induction ever happening.
  4. glory
    Yeah i don’t get this from her perspective. Really makes no sense. Going in as a Jays literally would have changed nothing so not sure why she had to take this hard stance against what her husband wanted. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt but doesn’t help that I can’t comprehend why she even made this decision.

    Seriously. I know Brandy is a widow and all so not trying to crucify her here, but Roy himself said he wanted to go in as a Jay and then intentionally retired as a Jay when he didn’t have to. Making a decision that goes against everything he said publicly (and against common sense) is f***ing stupid.
  6. glory
    Roy kinda has no choice in the matter anymore.
  7. glory
    Something about that Brandy Halladay quote seems off. “That’s how we want him to be remembered”. Goes against everything he said publicly before his death. Maybe she decided that in respect to the Phillies org but that kind of defeats the whole point of going in with a cap.
  8. glory
    That's disappointing. Roy wanted to go in as a Jay and he signed a one day contract to retire with the team. I thought this was a no brainer.
  9. glory
    Bonds not being a HOF is a joke.
  10. glory
    Yeah, I think that has to change. No way 1 WAR = ~$8m anymore. You can get 1 WAR players practically on minor league deals nowadays. No one values them.
  11. glory
    Yeah don’t think the Jays want anyone long term who will block any of their infielders, hence why Sogard was signed.
  12. glory
    Now we know why Aledmys only got Thornton back.
  13. glory
    Yeah it will be Vlad, Bo, Jansen, Pearson, Pardinho, Smith, and Groshans, most likely.

    Well I don't necessarily agree with anything the Reds have done this winter. They won't be contending any time soon. But from a value standpoint, getting Gray at 4/38 is a good contract assuming he resembles anything close to what he was prior to 2018. They obviously believe he can. I'd rate the winners as Yankees (for getting what they did for a player they pretty much told everyone they weren't keeping), M's, and Reds in that order, but I think everyone got what they wanted. The Reds obviously took the biggest risk so they have the most to lose.
  15. glory
    I agree everyone got a good deal here. Reds get four years of Gray at a good price, Yankees get a lotto ticket and a draft pick in the 30's for a player they didn't even want, and the M's get a good IF prospect. Seems like everyone wins.
  16. glory
    Gray to the Reds (+ extension) is a done deal. Shed Long going to the M's (because DiPoto is bored). Josh Stowers + a comp pick in the 30's going to the Yankees.
  17. glory
    The Gray trade to Cincy appears to be contingent on him signing an extension. That at least makes it somewhat sensible for the Reds.

    Cashman would have gotten way more for Happ, Oh, Osuna, etc, than Shatkins did. That's not a knock on Shatkins either. Cashman is just that good.
  19. glory
    It’s not about super two it’s about control. If he comes up some time in 2019 then he will be a FA after 2025. If he comes up in April 2020 then he will be a super two but controllable through 2026. No sense getting one fewer year from him by playing him in 2019 when 2026 is likely going to be more important for the team’s win curve. Again, just saying what I think the front office will do.
  20. glory
    I'm sure Machado would treat the front office and their high performance team with great respect. He seems like that type of player.
  21. glory
    He'll get the Vlad treatment. Gurriel will get the whole year to see what he has at short (they'll use that as the excuse), and then Bo comes up late April 2020.
  22. glory
    Drury is going to have a 2+ WAR this year. Quote me on this later.
  23. glory
    Pompey still being on the roster is pretty surprising. I thought after the falling out with the AAA manager and not being a Sept call up that his time was up, but he’s finding a way to survive. A Pillar trade would really open up a spot for him, and 2019 is the type of year where you can afford to keep a player like him and give him a chance.
  24. glory
    Murray is going to use the A's as leverage in the NFL draft. If a team takes him early in the 1st then he's probably a goner, but if he lasts late in the 1st, or even drops below that, then he'll have the A's as the backup plan.
  25. glory
    Yup, and there's also Paulino, Thornton, and Waguespack on the 40 man roster, Merryweather on the DL, and Zeuch not on the 40 man but likely to start in AAA. Richard and Shoemaker are beards. They'll hold rotation spots for show only, and in case they need innings. I think the Jays want to get a look at their young SP this season.
