    He was the worst baserunner in MLB last year. I'm not sure what you want us to get ready for. It's also really stupid of him to not go out and play his very best if he wants to justify a $600-700M contract.

    Best of luck with this. Idiots is one of the nicer things they'll call Shatkins.

    Because this isn't the deadline to get "that number". Vlad can ask for the moon all he wants in hopes that someone is stupid enough to give it to him. The only time he has to "settle" for less than the moon would be about this time next year, when he may need to compromise if nobody will pay up. The criticism is probably that the FO didn't pull the plug on extending Vlad sooner and didn't pull the trigger to trade him at the start of the offseason. That will certainly be the narrative if we don't make the playoffs this year. I suspect the FO thought there would be more mutual interest in compromising and finding a number they could both accept (which doesn't appear to be true) and/or they simple were committed to trying to win this year, which may have been a influenced by Rogers (win to keep your job boys).

    There's a point where that simply isn't the right call anymore.
  5. Brownie19
    Perfect. He's an easy 4 year extension at $10M - $12M AAV

    My 9 year old is starting to freak out as the hours pass today. I feel so bad for him.
  7. Brownie19
    Last day to sign Vlad? Crazy we're at this point (whether it's good or bad). What happens?
  8. Brownie19
    I don't hate the idea of extending Kirk.

    No comments on the 4 Nations? Weak boys

    I don't buy this at all. It's very common for negotiations to go down to the last minute. Most feel you won't get their best offer until that pressure is on.

    Assessing the Blue Jays' offseason plan and execution https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3216725 ----------- Interesting little article. Says Fangraphs has us projected for 91 wins and PECOTA is less optimistic at 85 wins. I'm comfortable going into the season as is. But they need to be ready to make adjustments promptly.

    I suspect we're not resigning him? Seems pretty obvious he doesn't want to stay here long term. If we're good this year, we'll probably keep him and lose him for nothing like the Astros just lost Bregman. If we suck, he's traded at the deadline - hopefully after restoring his value.

    I think what he's trying to say is the signs from other teams were fairly easy to "crack". All teams were using video to pick up patterns and steal signs from other teams. This allowed the guy on 2nd base to relay the sign to the batter (if he could see and pick up on it). The Astros just took it a large step further by picking up the signs from TV and relying that info to the batter. Obviously that was easier when nobody was on-base and catchers weren't using as complicated sign sequencing.

    Bo isn't a good defensive SS, but I'm not convinced Gimenez is going to be light years ahead of him. If that were true, why didn't Cleveland play Gimenez at SS over Roserio? Roserio's always been a worse defender at SS than Bo is.
  15. Brownie19
    Interesting. I don't hate Bregman for 3 years $96M. I'd be ok with that.
  16. Brownie19
    Yikes. Thanks for the heads up.
  17. Brownie19
    I'm confused? I just cut and paste from Rotoworld. Is nothing showing up?
  18. Brownie19
    We did the stadium tour too - it was awesome.
  19. Brownie19
    I disagree with your first paragraph - if they get into the playoffs than they are contenders. And a 90 win team is clearly a contender - the 2015 Jays won just 3 more. But I completely agree with your second paragraph.
  20. Brownie19
    Man - that's a huge offer too. I can't imagine the Jays were ever that close with Bregman.
  21. Brownie19
    Oh man. I went to a couple of games back in 2011 and it was a great experience. Perhaps things have changed?
  22. Brownie19
    Yeah - there's a chance that Bassitt isn't worth much on the market, because you can get better for less $$$ on the free agent mark.
  23. Brownie19
    100%. Came here to say the same thing.
  24. Brownie19
    I expect them to go into the season with what we have. They may just need to be prepared to pull off a trade if the grouping of Wagner, Orelvis, Barger, Roden aren't producing early on. Or if we get hit by the injury bug.
  25. Brownie19
    I'm not sure there are many options left (via free agency) who project to be difference makers at DH. I think we have as good of a chance to find someone who can hit at an above average clip (say >110 wRC+) internally between Wagner, Barger, Roden, Orelvis, etc. And yes, his projection do seem optimistic.
