    Tanaka can opt out after this coming season, right? Can't see him doing it now. Should have done it last year.

    You can tell Jays fans miss AA. A player who used to be good, making $20mm a year, has no trade value? Prove em wrong, Alex.

    Rasmus signed for 1/5 and Plouffe signed for 1/5. No reason why the Jays couldn't afford two of Moss, Valbuena, Pagan, whoever. They could probably afford Bautista and one of those other guys depending on how much money they have left.

    I actually hope the reason for signing Smoak was because they see something in his numbers or swing or something that indicates they think he can breakout. Even if they are wrong in that case, at least they'd have some logic behind it. Signing him because they wanted a warm body at first is a pretty bad reason for an extension. Still, if that's their worst move, and it looks like it is so far, then that's not bad at all.
  5. glory
    Agreed. A complete waste of time for the sake of manufactured patriotism. Just let the players do spring training with their teams and worry about the season, not some meaningless exhibition games.
  6. glory
    The Smoak extension was awful at the time, and looks about 100 times worse now. If he were a free agent right now he'd get a minor league deal at best. That's pretty bad.

    I can see both sides. Jose could put up a 3 WAR season and help the Jays possibly get to the playoff picture again, so there's definitely value in that. I just think with the value of the pick being what it is that it makes more sense to go for a longer term, but then again, the longer term is less desirable for the team because of his age. That's why tacking on a team option would be the deal breaker for me. If it's a straight one year deal, and the cost is $17mm plus whatever you want to value the comp pick at ($8-10mm), that's a pretty sizable investment for a 36 year old with no D value.

    Losing a pick for a one year player, especially when you can't recoup that pick next year due to the CBA change, is pretty significant. Unless Bautista is signing for Nelson Cruz 2014 money on a one year deal (factoring for inflation), which his ego won't allow him to, I'm not that interested. If it's one year + a team option or two, then we're talking.

    Colby seemed miserable in Toronto so I doubt he would have considered it. If Moss gets 1/8 or something like that, then that wouldn't be a bad option.
  10. glory
    Wow that's a good deal for the Rays. If that's how cheap the OF market is going to be, that's a good sign for the Jays.
  11. glory
    My money is on Oakland. They offered a two year deal to Edwin. They could get Bautista cheaper with the same term probably.
  12. glory
    At age 36? I doubt he'd sit out. Does he expect teams to give him more money at age 37 next year after sitting out half the season? He might as well take the best multi year deal he can get and just accept it. Or take the best one year deal he can get and go back on the market next year with a full season under his belt.

    Alex would have been all over that.
  14. glory
    He would have a NTC (10/5 rights) if he signed with the Jays. Not that easy.
  15. glory
    Smoak for Bruce would be a good deal. At least Bruce can actually hit RHP.
  16. glory
    Estrada is a free agent after 2017 just like the rest of their team. I doubt they would have done that. If the Jays still had Hutchison, that probably would have been the type of pitcher they would have went for (think he has 3 years of control left, while Karns has 4).
  17. glory
    Puig is 26 with three years of cheap control left (well, two years of cheap control and one year of arb after that). THat wouldn't be adding to an aging core, that would be giving the Jays a young hitter with upside. I agree that they won't be trading prospects for short-term gain, though.
  18. glory
    Yep, trade for Puig and sign someone like Moss. I'd be fine with that. Don't know what the Dodgers would want for Puig, though. Maybe more than what the Jays would be willing to give.
  19. glory
    Dammit, Dyson would have been a great fit for the Jays. Oh well.
  20. glory
    After 2015 and 2016, there's really no way the Jays can take a step back (at least on purpose) so trying to put a competitive team on the field while building up the farm system is the only alternative. AA created a one and a half year window. Thankfully Shaps took over when he did because he should be able to salvage this without watching the team turn into Ruben Amaro's Phillies like it would have if AA was still here trading prospects for Joey Votto while re-signing Edwin and Jose.
  21. glory
    He was offered 4-80 and ended up with 3-60. The agent looks worse.
  22. glory
    Isn't it widely known that autograph seekers are mostly scum trying to make money? I'm not talking about the kids that idolize players or people with collections, but the ones similar to the one in the Alex Rios temper tantrum video who use kids to get signatures and then get angry when the player isn't kowtowing to them.
  23. glory
    If Philly signs Bautista they will almost certainly trade him mid-season, especially if he bounces back.
  24. glory
    He was quoting a Lauryn Hill song. The only negative of that is the song sucks, but can't hold that against him.
  25. glory
    Stroman fathered Sanchez last winter and now Stroman is the son in the eyes of the Jays media and fans. It's a whole bunch of "who cares" to me anyway. As long as they stay healthy and keep pitching well they can despise each other for all I care.
