Bruh - we're not on the same level as the top teams. To get there, we would have had to empty the farm system ala SD. Unfortunately a lot of our prospects have had s***** years and we simply don't have the depth or the player that other teams want right now. It's a difficult realization for most. Good news is the Braves and Nationals just won World Series titles when they weren't in the upper echelon of teams heading into the playoffs either.
-
Max was really nice SP depth to have as your #7 guy +/- and could have played that role for the next couple of years. Ideally would have moved someone further away in A ball - but it is what it is. Merrifield is a solid, versatile guy and gives us much needed insurance in CF not only for this year, but also in 2023 (which is something I really like about this move). Solid move.
-
I believe there's a good chance the Jays see themselves in a league below the Yankees, Astros, Dodgers, Mets and even the Braves (and probably the Padres now). They'd have to mortgage all the future to try and jump up into that level (and still may fall short) would still have to beat them. I suspect their plan is to simply strengthen the team without shooting themselves in the foot, get into the playoffs and hope you're on a heater at the right time so they have a chance to be the Braves and Nationals of 2019 and 2021. I respect that evaluation and decision personally.
-
That seems like a solid return for the Reds no? I'm just stat scouting, but Encarncion-Strand hits at every level and Hajjar was a 2nd round pick who's performing well in A ball. Steer is almost ML ready.
-
They must tunnel well with a sinker or low fastball or something? Seems odd that 3 Mets players in a row would offer at those without seeing the sequence of pitches leading up to it.
-
The Mets have been doing this for the past decade man. Looks promising for them this year though.
-
Givens is also rental. Mutual option for 2023. Nobody ever exercises a mutual option.
-
Holy f*** man. So the development of prospects we traded for has no baring on how teams will view the value of players within our organization? You really jump off the deep end sometimes eh?
-
Thanks Tips. Those 2 players are good examples of the DEVELOPMENT we provided. We got Teo and Espinal for next to nothing rentals and turned them both into all stars / regulars.
-
And we have him for 2023. But because he's already been on the Jays before and is a journeyman, he's discarded as an underwhelming pickup.
-
Manoah, Bo, Espinal, Teo, Jansen and Kirk say hello.
-
I don't think we were ever adding Pablo Lopez man. Gaus/Manoah/Berrios is the playoff rotation with Strip getting a Game 4 start if/when needed. We're looking at rentals or back of the rotation guys for depth. We just added the bullpen guys. I think they might be scrambling to find more depth in CF due to Springers elbow and pushing hard for Happ.
-
Club option for 2023 no?
-
That's fair - that calculator is just a bit of fun to try and find a comparable deal. The deal is only comparable because it includes Hosmer at -$35M. Obviously SD package of prospects is better than the one proposed from the Jays. I was just pointing out that the calculator values seem to account for the flaws you've identified. Obviously teams will have their own calculators/value assessments.
-
um...that's why it values Pearson at only $3.3M and Orelvis at $13.9M - while someone like Wood is at $25.6M - more than Tiedemann
-
The deal must get done whether he's in it or not. SD was just trying to stay under the luxury tax this year (Washington was paying Hosmer this year, SD for the remaining years). I'm sure the Owner will just say f*** it, I'll pay the luxury tax.
-
source Ang? f*** me.
-
Yeah - if SD is paying Hosmer, then I'd agree with this. Jays would need to add $35M in value to match.
-
This year yes - but it will be interesting to see where they are 2-4 years from now. They now own the worst farm system in baseball.
-
Are the Padres going to become the Angels? Stars and scrubs? Trout, Ohtani, Rendon v. Tatis, Soto, Machado
-
Tapia has a 124 wRC+ since May 7th (.313/.339/.464). This isn't a 1 month hot streak. The defensive metrics hate Tapia, which is why his WAR is still at 0. The jury is generally still out on defensive metrics, so take it for what it's worth. Point being that Tapia's been a pretty decent 4th OFer.
-
2.5 years of Lopez for Povich, Cano and some prospects yet to be announced. Interesting.
-
I'm just pointing out a fact. You don't need to be a dick. Go back to spewing hilarious jokes about how Atkins is still sleeping and making offers through Fantrax. They are such a useful contribution to the board.
-
Tapia's been better than Springer for the past 2 months +/-
-
I would have to assume Tanner Scott would be included (although his control is awful) - maybe Anthony Bass too? Blah... Lopez scares me - not sure he's the guy I want for the #1 prospect in baseball. Interesting to see Braxton Garrett having a lot of success. Former 7th overall pick who didn't exactly tear up the minors and isn't a hard thrower.
