Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If he'd take $125M, I can't imagine the Jays to lose him over $10M ($2M/yr). -
What Watson did with the talent around him this year was incredible. I agree - there's no way Houston moves him.
-
Which NY team is better now?
-
I agree. I think Lindor is a FANTASTIC player. A cornerstone, face of the franchise guy, but guess what? We already have a FANTASTIC shortstop who's a cornerstone, face of the franchise guy on the team! Hard to justify moving all that prospect capital for Lindor (no matter how good he is) without an extension - especially given the market is flooded with SS's right now/next year. It's frustrating to see big names fall off the board, but I'm going to reserve judgement until the offseaon is over to see what the FO has in store. I do believe this is the right opportunity and time to add FWIW.
-
Is anyone concerned about Hand? Big velo drop over the past 2 years.
-
Being 'disappointed' means you've formed an opinion. Forming an opinion void of information and facts is a major issue within society. Would he be disappointed in the FO if: 1. he learned Lindor told the Jays he hates Toronto and wouldn't sign an extension? 2. he learned Lindor wanted 10 years, $350M, otherwise he wouldn't sign an extension? 3. he learned the Jays offered more and the Indians wanted to trade him to the NL? 4. he learned the Jays offered Groshans, Kirk and Gurriel and the Indians (mis)valued the Mets deal over that?
-
Sorry I'm not giving up the prospect capital for a 1 year run at a WS based on an assumption we'll be able to land one of the high price SS free agents.
-
Why claim this when you have little to no information? Maybe Lindor wants $300M or said he's testing the market. Maybe he said he wouldn't sign an extension with Toronto. Forming and opinion and/or judging people like this is pathetic.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I wonder if the NL DH ruling is affecting them. If they need to put Dom Smith in LF, do they have room for Springer? -
Gasol is done. I do miss Ibaka. Apparently we lost him because we were trying to hold back enough cash to get Gasol too and end up losing both. Financial flexibility is always valuable in the NBA - whether it's for Giannis or someone else. This isn't a situation where he put all his eggs in one basket. He isn't that stupid. Don't create the narrative.
-
Curious what the board experts say to this, but it certainly looks more like Jansen could have been the MLB player centrepiece. Gimenez was MLB's 60th best propsect in 2019, so maybe our comparable is Groshans (who's currently listed as the 70th). Wolf and Greene are both recent 2nd round picks, so we'd be looking at Van Eyk and maybe Dasan Brown Jansen, Groshans, Van Eyk and Brown...or something like that. I'm sure someone is better than me at this.

1. You have no idea whether the Raptors were managing that way. You can't be naïve enough to really think Masai put all his eggs in one basket. 2. Most big splash moves don't work out - that's typically the excuse for not making them. You don't have to like that (I don't either), but you should acknowledge it.
-
You keep judging while having about 1% of the information Gruber. Great job.
-
You've been setting yourself up for disappoint this whole time man.
-
To be fair - he was really good last year (some bad luck with the ERA) and was on pace for 4+ WAR
-
OK that's fair. I think someone's offering Sugano $14M. We'll soon see.
-
Is it though? Treinen just got a solid contract. Grossman got 2 years $10M. I fully expect Springer is getting $125-$150M. I don't see the big discount people expected (which would be a wet dream for the Jays).
-
We gave Roark 2 years $24M last year. I'm not sure why 4 years $56M seems out of the question for someone like Sugano. COVID doesn't seem to be reducing FA pay days as much as some expected.
-
what's wrong with "free lappers for Harden"?
-
Yeah I totally knew that I'm also hedging my bet a bit!
-
Yeah that seems insane.
-
I'm going with the Giants. If they are offering 4 years with an opt-out option each year - that's tough to beat.
-
Giants offering a 4 year deal with an opt-out option after each year is interesting.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I highly doubt a team is choosing turf due to the maintenance costs of grass. That sounds f***ing stupid. -
You think they'll go into next year with both of them in a battle? I doubt it. If they can get a late 1st pick for Wentz they are taking that all day long. I kind of expect a 4th will be the best they can get.
