    This typo seems like a bannable offense...

    100% Roki + the equivalent remaining $ spent on several FA's >>> Soto

    I don't think Vientos is a massive overpay. Astros got 3 years of Paredes + Cam Smith (14th overall pick in 2024 draft) who lit it up and finished in AA last year for Kyle Tucker. Paredes is more proven than Vientos and is just good enough to stick at 3rd. Vientos probably shouldn't play 3rd anymore and that 30% K Rate could raises concerns, given he's only produced at the ML level for 450 PA's. 4 years of Vientos + prospects seems like a perfectly reasonable package for Vlad if we conclude we can't, or don't want to extend him. Fans would be super angry, but it might be the best baseball move they can make under these circumstances.

    He tried to make adjustments last year to get on plane better and reduce the IFF's. Perhaps helped a little. He probably needs to spend a full offseason in a lab, reconstructing his swing ala Justin Turner. People do it every year (like Rooker). Offseason shoulder surgery would have prevented that this year, so I don't expect much improvement.

    I think what you're saying is true. I think what Vancouverite is suggesting (in the first part) is that perhaps Roki wants to be the face of a franchise - he wants to be "the guy". In the second part, he's suggesting he wants to be on a team without "superstar" or perhaps even a "superstar diva" that thinks his sh*t don't stink. He wants to be in a culture where everyone is equal, regardless of talent/contracts. That may not be true in all clubhouses. I have no idea what Roki wants, but I hope that helps explain what Vancouverite was trying to suggest.

    I think for some, playing with Vlad would be frustrating as f*ck. Dude is the worst base runners in baseball, primarily due to his low baseball IQ. He's also a horrible fielder, who admits he doesn't work on his defense in the offseason. He also doesn't seem to have any self awareness and continued that ice bath bullsh*t way too long, which seemed to piss off his teammates. Oh and he's overweight, which impacts his ability to be the best ball player he can be. I'm sure some people like his happy, life of the party spirit - but suiting up next to this guy day in and day out for 162 games may drive some players nuts.

    Maybe he correctly identifies Machado as a massive douchebag?
  8. Brownie19
    I mean - he could become the spokesperson/face of Rogers Communication...no need to involve another company even. Rogers could sign him to some 6 year $200M deal to do commercials :)

    I just read Roki started following Trout on social media yesterday. He's going to the Angels!
  10. Brownie19
    To be honest, it's actually impressive that we're in the bronze position to land Roki. Most free agents currently view the Jays as about the 28th best option in baseball.
  11. Brownie19
    Bring on that bronze medal to add to our collection.
  12. Brownie19
    Guys - this isn't happening.
  13. Brownie19
    We need a backup catcher anyway. He wouldn't cost much.

    NFL Thread

    Brownie19 replied to Dylan's topic in Other Sports

    Tough way to end what was a really fun season for the Packers and overall, a s***** weekend for the NFL so far with 4 of 5 games being blowouts.

    My guess is Wagner will DH a lot until Bo is traded.
  17. Brownie19
    I must say - the volume and quality of these articles is incredible.
  18. Brownie19
    FWIW, I do think there's a decent chance that JDM has one last dead cat bounce in him. He could add some much needed power (unlike a guy like Turner).
  19. Brownie19
    True, but $11M AAV for Hoffman makes $10M for Kittredge seem expensive.
  20. Brownie19
    38 year old JDM likely provides the same impact Turner did last year.
  21. Brownie19
    $10M seems like a ton for Kittredge - even on a 1 year deal.

    If you don't like Springer the ball player, you don't like baseball.
  23. Brownie19
    Like the Diamondbacks did in 2023? 3-0 sweep. GREAT teams only win a playoff series about 65% of the time.
  24. Brownie19
    100%. I'd be pissed off if the team I cheered for wasn't 100% in on trying to sign Roki. The only reason you wouldn't is if you're some cheap ass team without the resources or staff to do it - which would be sad. Even if you only have a 5% chance of success - you still need to take your shot.

    Atkins gonna send his intern again like the alpha boss he is. "Show Vladdy the new base running stats and point out he's the sh*tist base runner in baseball. Tell him we ain't giving into his BS demands" 😎
