    Would you f***ing relax. The bullpen needed to be better and it is now with someone who has 3 full years of control still. Let the FO complete the offseason before you freak out. If we go out and sign Conforto to a 1 year $15M deal then he completely replaces what Teo gave us - AND we have Swanson as our new setup guy. Have you seen what relief pitchers are signing for as FA's this year? My scenario above is a f***TON better than handing out 3 or 4 year deals worth $30M-$45M for a top end reliver and keeping Teo.

    I'm really going to miss Teo. It's been amazing to see his journey. He came over (for nothing) as this really talented, athletic OFer who hadn't put it all together. He struggled for a few years, while showing potential and then finally it all clicked and he became a f***ing beast with the bat. His defense always left something to be desired though as it 'seemed' like he wasn't always giving max effort. Unfortunately your swing and miss profile likely won't age well and it's unlikely the Jays were ever going to extend you. I'm going to miss that infectious smile though. All the best to you Teo.

    I love me some Nimmo, but I really worry the required term will put him in the same boat Springer is. You get a year or 2 of him playing CF and then you're looking to move him to LF or RF.

    Big time K rates the past 2 years....albeit with big time walk rates also...

    It could also just mean they are going to sign Conforto to a 1 year deal....or that Merrifield is going to play a lot of OF this year.... Or it could mean they are moving Moreno for Carroll or for Thomas + young stud SP prospect.

    Swanson's Savant page has a lot of sexy red on it. 3 years of control. If he isn't a flash in the pan, this has good potential.
  7. Brownie19
    That probably makes sense. Most catchers don't hit the road running and kill it in Year 1 like Rutschman just did. It was a calculated risk that failed (good for Jays, bad for O's)

    Joc Pederson accepts QO. Not surprised. Will be surprised if he comes anywhere close to his 2022 production though.
  9. Brownie19
    f***ing vomit.

    Holy f*** I love me some Dan Shulman. We're so lucky to have him.
  11. Brownie19
    I don't think he disappointed since he came up. 4.6 WAR as a 20 year old was fantastic. He had 25.2 WAR by age 25. Then it was all downhill.
  12. Brownie19
    Lots of groundballs too if I remember correctly. So much talent though. Always seemed like one of those guys who just needed a swing change and he'd become a 130+ wRC+ monster.
  13. Brownie19
    Cubs release Jason Heyward. One has to wonder if his career is over. So sad as he was such a talented guy who just couldn't put it all together. I still remember his rookie season when he took the league by storm as a 20 year old. He was a true 5 tool OFer then with a fantastic eye at the plate. I always assumed he'd be in the HOF one day.
  14. Brownie19
    So you do think his framing is worth 20-25 WAR. Turns out framing is part of the game and he sucks at it. He's grossly overrated. Also - Molina threw out 5% more runners, even when you factor in decline in his later years. Sal isn't Molina defensively if you remove framing.
  15. Brownie19
    I know that. I wouldn't want him at 3 years $60M though.
  16. Brownie19
    Barf. Someone will regret that.
  17. Brownie19
    Holy f*** - I'm through the first 13 on this list and it appears the only teams signing anyone are the Dodgers, Giants, Rangers, Astros, Twins, Phillies and Cubs. Sign me up for Stripling 2 yrs $18M, Conforto 1 yr $15M, Ottavino 2 yrs $15M. I'd like to say Montero at 3 yrs $24M, but I think that's a trap.
  18. Brownie19
    It's Morosi guys - it's not even worth discussing what he says.
  19. Brownie19
    Huh? You think the framing issues drag his defense so far down that his career 104 wRC+ bat + defense would put him in the HOF? I don't buy it. Career WAR is 15.7 as he enters his age 33 season. Framing hasn't cut like 20-25 WAR off his career numbers has it?
  20. Brownie19
    I'm pretty surprised Tyler Anderson, Bassitt, Perez and Pederson were offered QO's. I think all 4 could certainly accept. Pederson had a dead cat bounce, but I can't imagine he's going to get anywhere close to $20M a year on the open market.
  21. Brownie19
    To be fair - nobody was suggesting that you trade Kirk for s***. Most agreed that you'd only move him if the piece coming back is also a young player under control for many years who has a chance to be SPECIAL.
  22. Brownie19
    Agreed - although Sal Perez is perhaps the overrated player in the league over the past 10 years. Kirk for Corbin Carroll it is then. Get it done Atkins.
  23. Brownie19
    Yeah if Kirk is going to be a 141 wRC+ hitter then there's probably no chance we get his 'true value' in return. He's worth Corbin Carroll at that projection.
  24. Brownie19
    Adames couldn't hit in the Trop though. Well documented. But yes, they ought to have gotten better value for him. I'm sure TB has f***ed up before and will again though. They have 40 man roster crunches too - so someone had to go.
  25. Brownie19
    Murfee can't break 90 and Flexen blows. Espinal is a really solid utility infielder who can play anywhere. I'm not sure I give him up for that. Our bullpen doesn't have room for 'average' guys as it is.
