    JD isn't going to give up free agency to sign early when he's still an elite player. Dude will wait a year and get his money a year from now.

    Figures the Jays would start playing well late enough to f*** up their draft positioning.

    Brian Cashman could write a damn book on how to retool based on the trades he made in the past 2-3 years. Didi, Hicks, Castro, Green, Chapman, Gray, Frazier.....damn. Can't hate on them. Seems like the moment Steinbrenner's kids wanted to go below the lux tax, suddenly Cashman became a wizard.

    I want to see great baseball in the post season, and while the Twins have some good young talent, they aren't on the level of their counterparts. Even the Yankees are a complete rung above them and they are the other WC team. What's good for baseball is the Yankees becoming good again. The league needs marketable stars in big markets and they can sell Aaron Judge as a star. It sucks, but if the Jays are not in it, then might as well root for baseball to prosper. That won't happen with the Twins/Astros ALCS.

    Damn I missed this one. Hope a full video pops up for the curtain call.

    Yeah I am looking at the Cards as well. They have a lot of OF's. Grichuk kinda fits what the Jays looked at with Smoak with his batted ball profile. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried for him. What do the Cards need, relief pitching? Maybe sell high on someone like Tepera. No clue what it would take, but the team needs to pull something out of their ass to fix the OF and free agency doesn't look very appealing.

    I don't know if he would have gotten three years, but I think he would have gotten at least two if he tested free agency for a similar AAV to what he signed for. Jays got a great deal here.
  8. glory
    Yeah I wouldn't count on Sanchez for 2018. Dude basically lost an entire season to a blister. He needs to prove he can avoid that moving forward before I have faith in him.

    Yeah there are some players who want to maximize every dollar, and can't blame them for that, but Estrada clearly values comfort in this case, and it's not like he's not being compensated well at $13mm. Just a matter of how much he may have given up compared to what he could have gotten on the market, but he obviously doesn't care. 1/13 is fair. They weren't going to get a comparable starter for that much.
  10. glory
    It's 1/13 apparently. Nice. Dude took a small pay cut and avoided free agency to sign a one year deal. Either he wasn't optimistic about his market this winter or he really wanted to stay in Toronto.
  11. glory
    I mentioned 1/15 because I don't know why he would sign a one year deal without testing the market first. I'm assuming he's going to make around the same as he did this year which would give him some incentive to do it. If he took a pay cut for one year, then I won't complain.
  12. glory
    I'm ok with 1/15. It's basically what he made this year. A one year deal is awesome either way. A team option tacked on to it would be nice too.
  13. glory
    Yeah if it's one year that seems odd for Estrada to do unless it's something like 1/15. Regardless good to have him back. I don't agree with avoiding a rebuild but if they are going for it, then might as well load up on deals that end after 2018 so they can start fresh after that.

    Everything that happened to Jose after his 2016 spring training comments about his contract demands has been almost like every bit of karma coming back to bite him. Gets injured multiple times in a contract year, becomes a meme for life with one punch, has his worst season since his breakout, goes to free agency and has no takers, comes back to the Jays with his tail tucked between his legs and settles for essentially a one year deal, then proceeds to completely s*** the bed to the point where he'll be lucky to get a big league contract for next year. Like, that's every worst case scenario for him wrapped up in 18 months. Great player at his peak though.
  15. glory
    Find someone blocked on another team and use them as the utility infielder. Someone like Tony Kemp or Profar. Goins can EAD.
  16. glory
    I read that at the deadline the Jays were asking about Grichuk. Might have been nothing, but he hits the ball hard, hits a lot of flyballs and line drives, but just strike outs a s*** ton. Seems to fit what the Jays look for and maybe could fix like they did with Smoak. Cards have excess outfielders. Maybe there's a match.
  17. glory
    He won't get more than one year so there's a chance. Depends on how much he likes the Jays org.
  18. glory
    I hate you *******s for getting my hopes up for Otani now. I know it isn't happening but dammit now I think there's a chance. If Shapiro pulls this off.....
  19. glory
    The tank taking a break to f*** with the O's is fine with me.
  20. glory
    Speaking of Royals free agents, Lorenzo Cain would make sense for the Jays, but I'm sure he'll get paid a s*** ton. Likely way more than the Jays would be willing to offer. He's a better player than Fowler and the jays were interested in him, so i'm sure they will kick tires but ultimately miss out/pass when the price gets too big. Would be a good fit in right, though.

    Hernandez is turning 25 soon and has spent a bunch of time in AAA. Pompey was fast tracked to the bigs at 21 and then handed a starting spot because AA didn't know what depth was. If Teoscar starts in the OF in '18, then Alford, Pompey (if he's still alive), and someone like Davis or Fields or Ceciliani or whoever will be in the Buffalo OF. The depth there is actually pretty decent. Just start Hernandez and sign or trade for a more established outfielder to play the other corner. Puts less pressure on Teoscar and adds even more depth.
  22. glory
    Yeah I agree with this. You can live with Teoscar's growing pains as long as they go out and get a LF/RF (whichever corner Hernandez doesn't play) in trade or free agency. Jays need to start having some young cheap position players on the roster. Hernandez doesn't need more AAA time. He's ready. Whether he turns out to be any good or not is the question.
  23. glory
    Teoscar, yes. Urena, no.
  24. glory
    Dayton Moore having a soft spot for Kendrys enough to take the 2/23 he has left on his deal would be wonderful.
  25. glory
    Look at Gonzalez's minor league numbers, especially age 21 in AAA.
