    Another way to gauge value is to see what he's worth on the open market. It's great we have a deep purse now, but paying a 5th OFer $7.4M is a terrible use of resources. This subject doesn't require multiple paragraphs or responses either.

    If Straw was a FA right now, nobody would give him $7.4M. You can look at $/WAR all you want, but he's overpaid. Luckily - payroll no longer seems to be a concerns, so we can live with it. I'd be happily surprised if he can replicate his 2025 success.

    You don't say...

    It sounds like there's a chance that Okamoto is as good defensively as Barger was at 3rd.
  5. Brownie19
    I'm pretty sure the cap hit is based off AAV guys. Also - $7.4M for Straw is gross.
  6. Brownie19
    That would be fantastic.

    I'm in this boat as well following this signing. I don't love "selling low" on Santander and I do think he can rebound. His power and low K's fit the mould, but we're so stacked now that the my may just cut bait.

    The reality is there simply isn't as much velo in the NPB. They don't see high velo at anywhere near the same clip batters do in the MLB - so claims "they can't hit high velo" need to be taken with a grain of salt. I believe I read that Ohtani didn't have a single HR off a pitch 93+ before coming to America and he's doing pretty good. But it's always a question about how they can/will adjust to high velo.

    I'm good with 4 years $60M.

    Bregman back to the Red Sox makes sense to me.

    I'd have liked to been in on Imai at that price. However, I understand why we weren't and I'm happy with the path we chose.

    and Happy New Years to each and everyone of you. May 2026 be the year!

    We aren't deep enough to give up what it will take to get Marte, not to mention they'd probably want ML ready talent like Barger. I'd rather just spend money and keep the prospects.

    Thank you Brock. Happy anniversary?

    I don't think Felix should get in the HOF. If he does. Wright needs to as well.

    Always great to see the A's spending money. They have a really good, fun, offensive core right now. Hoping they can keep them together and move into Vegas with some excitement surrounding the team.

    I thought I'd always read that Truist Park was a bit of a "dud" in comparison to other newer parks. Glad to hear some good things about it. I'm jealous of all the parks you've been to!

    The great news is they are now making stadiums that all both types of fans can love for different reasons. The lounge areas typically aren't for me (as I'm usually with my kids), but I think it's great they are full of casuals pounding beers and taking social media posts. That's a huge benefit for the Jays and adds extra vibe and buzz in the stadium. I have also enjoyed those lounge areas when I've gone to other ball parks with friends - when we didn't really care who won the game. We had a blast in them. It seems like such an obvious way to build/layout a stadium. Cater to all types of fans.

    I certainly hope you're right! He's the epitome of a ball player. I really hope good things happen to him.

    Happy Holidays to all of you. We were blessed with one of the greatest seasons in Blue Jays history - and I bet Santa is placing thousands and thousands of Blue Jays hats and jerseys under Christmas trees tonight. Cheers to another impact bat in the Blue Jays stocking.

    Closer isn't something you need to worry about right now. Ricky T might be the next Hader for all we know. You add at the deadline if you think it's a major issue.
  22. Brownie19
    I never realized how awful Henry Davis has been. Complete swing and a miss at the 1st overall pick. You just can't have that. Endy Rodriguez also seems to have reached the "massive bust" status. Swaggerty was a bust and Termarr Johnson's glow has worn off. It's been a rough go for the Pirates. Konnor Griffin needs to step up and save that franchise.
  23. Brownie19
    I'd love to see Springer finish his career in Toronto on a bunch of 1 year deals ala David Ortiz. You probably have to move Santander to make that happen though...
  24. Brownie19
    This seems insane. I almost hope he's a steal.

    Phillies pen was is already thin. They must really like Bowlan. Maybe repurposing Strahm's salary to sign another FA?
