We seem to be loading up on AAA utility players?

The BSBLR Show (@bsblrshow) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Josh Reddick shares his personal perspective on the 2017 Houston Astros scandal, discussing the development... Interesting interview with Reddick. He suggests Altuve was 1 of 3 players who didn't like getting relayed signs. I also think he makes a good point about the effectiveness of the trash can in the playoffs.

I would yes, but I don't see it happening. Actually, it probably makes a lot of sense that he ends up back in Detroit to finish his career off. That one kind of seems like fate (once you get past the fact that you're in Detroit). The young emerging Tigers could use a vet like Verlander.

There was that stretch in August that was incredible fun to watch. My brain agrees with you, but my heart absolutely LOVED watching him pitch for the Jays this year. This year was so f'ing incredible for so many different reasons.

I believe the correct term is "waves of talent"

Wouldn't the idea be to dump Berrios to free up money to sign a better starter, like Bassitt? ie, if Bassitt is going to cost 1 year $15M (or say 2 years/$26M), then you could trade Berrios + $7M AAV (and maybe a middling prospect) for a lottery ticket and theoretically improve the team (if you believe Bassitt is a clear upgrade over Berrios). I'm not sure Semien is a good fit for the Jays. He's more of a last resort to replace Bo. I don't want to have to pay him and have to fill a rotation spot. The Semien/Nimmo trade is interesting. Both have been great players, but both are declining. Nimmo is more likely to be productive for a couple more years, but he's also on a longer and more expensive deal. You might see a deadcat bounce from both, or neither. It will be interesting to see it play out.

It's wild that Verlander will be 43 next year. What a beast. His age 39 season is still mindboggling. 18-4, 1.75 ERA, 6.1 fWAR. He's one of the greats.

The Rockies have a plan? Are you sure?

Just another obvious example that the Dodgers are slipping in pitching development 🤣

Jeff Passan Links Blue Jays to Cody Bellinger
Brownie19 replied to Bryan Jaeger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It's like Atkins reads this board and kept hearing a few people screaming incessantly that this team needed more power and needed to add 2 impact bats - forcing him to cave and sign a guy who goes against a lot of their values. Thanks guys. Tony does make pretty good contact for a power guy though - so he didn't completely break the mold. I think there's a good chance he rebounds, despite what projections say (I don't think they take injuries into account very well). -
Jeff Passan Links Blue Jays to Cody Bellinger
Brownie19 replied to Bryan Jaeger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I must admit - Bellinger has shown a lot of resiliency to get his career back on track since those shoulder injuries. I'm just not sure I can trust the sustainability. I do like the power/contact ability and the fact he's a great athlete who can play multiple positions though. -
General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2025)
Brownie19 replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Perfect depth to have as a AAA catcher. 3 options remaining. -
We don't get to the World Series, or Game 7 without Hoffman. 10 GP, 12.1 IP, 13.1 K/9, 2.9 BB/9, 1.46 ERA, 2.73 FIP in the playoffs. Suggesting one single thing killed us in Game 7 is silly and wrong. That said - I'm all for adding another high end bullpen option if the budget is available.
-
They DFA'd him.
-
That's why I told him.
-
The shine has certainly wore off.
-
Holy f*ck - let's not please. The Dodgers are the best in the league at everything - I was wrong.
-
I'm sorry you spent all that time preparing this, but this comparison is stupid because I also don't think the Jays have been good at developing pitchers. All I was saying is LA used to have a staff full of home grown talent in he late 2010's and early 2020's. Kershaw, Urias, Buehler, Gonsolin, Graterol, Jansen, Baez, etc. Now they buy most of their talent and have had issues developing the really talented arms they did draft/develop. I'm kinda done with this - are you? Please say yes.
-
100% agree.
-
And they only get Ward for 1 year...
-
Wowsers. You'd think the O's need the pitching more than another bat. They must think Rodriguez is damaged goods?
-
Wow - incredible stuff. I had no idea.
-
They are? I've watched Bobby Miller and Dustin May come up and flop recently. The Dodgers buy most of their pitchers these days. I'm not suggesting they're "bad" at developing arms, but they haven't had nearly as much success lately.
-
I mean - Grisham was really good last year. I don't blame him for betting on himself to repeat, in which case, he'll have an opportunity to really cash in. Unfortunately for him, his defense is declining quickly and he may only be a CFer for another season before having to move to the corner (which will hurt his value). Woodruff is a surprise. I'd have thought he'd shown enough to land a good multi-year deal, or some type of short terms deal with opt outs or such in it. I thought the same of Bieber though - so it's an interesting trend developing (although perhaps 2 people don't make a trend). Is the FA market going to be a little soft this year? If so - good news for the buyers (ie - the Jays)
