  1. I don't know where to post this - don't we normally have an "Offseason" thread or something? Anyway - the following players received qualifying offers today: - Randy - Lowe - Suzuki - Bauers - Bednar - Jeffers - Morejon - Trevor Rogers
  2. 2 years $24M is gross IMO. We have too many holes to burn that kinda $$$ on Grichuk. I think we add Lane Thomas. He'll come a lot cheaper, he can play CF and has a 132 wRC+ v. LHP over his career. You can probably pay him $7M or $8M on 1 year deal. He gives us depth at CF if Bateman turns into a pumpkin and he can pair with Barger and Lukes to create a platoon. LF Suzuki (or Randy)/Lukes CF Bateman/Thomas RF Barger/Thomas/Lukes This would also allow you to slide Suzuki (or Randy) into the DH role v. RHP from time to time. Barger too if they need/want to take it easy on his arm. I'm also curious Barger will be more or less comfortable at 3rd or RF coming off his injury. I wonder if they'd play him at 3rd a bit, to let Kaz play 1st and Vlad DH (or visa versa).
  3. Yeah - I probably prefer Suzuki. I just think he'll be more coveted and cost an extra year, so he comes with more risk.
  4. Lowe: 2 years $38M Bauers: 2 years $38M Randy: 3 years $69M Gausman: 1 year $17M done!
  5. To summarize some of the potential targets for the Jays... Ben Clemens predictions | Median Crowdsource Suzuki: 4 years $108M | 4 years $96M Sato: 5 years $110M | 5 years $100M Jazz: 4 years $92M (for both) Morejon: 3 years $72M | 4 years $64M Randy: 3 years $69M | 4 years $96M Arraez: 2 years $38M | 3 years $48M Bauers: 2 years $38M | 3 years $51M Lowe: 2 years $38M | 3 years $63M Mize: 2 years $34M | 3 years $54M Gausman: 1 year $17M | 2 years $44M Torres: 2 years $28M | 2 years $30M Bryan Abreu: 2 years $18M | 1 year $8M Varsho: 1 year $14M | 2 years $24M Grisham: 1 year $14M (for both) Robert Jr: 1 year $14M | 1 year $11M JP Crawford: 1 year $8M | 2 year $24M As I expected, the price for Jazz will probably be a lot more than the cost for the "other" 2nd base options. I think Lowe is a no brainer on a 2 year $38M deal, but I think he'll get more. Torres and Arraez seem like solid value options at 2nd. I'd take Bauers all day for that cost. I don't care if that fills the DH spot.
  6. There's a huge shortage of right handed hitting OFers. There will be lots of teams that give Grichuk a look this offseason. Grichuk is old as dirt now. High probability he turns into a pumpkin at any point.
  7. I never know what to believe for defensive stats. I take them all with a grain of salt, unless of course I need to make a point on here, in which case, they are gospel. I do remember seeing something that by some stats, Walls was the next Ozzie Smith and by others, he was just average.
  8. Nice humble-brag Snarls. Enjoy!

I'm not we'll be able to top this update on our former Blue Jay friend Danny Burgers is doing. He is 100% living his best life and I'm super happy for him man!
  10. Having the worst offense in baseball will do that...
  11. I think the concern is real. I think there's a possibility this backfires on King. I also suspect that for all the reasons you mentioned, that King feels this might be his last chance at big time $$$. He may not be willing to "bet on himself" given the injury past and declining stuff.
  12. Sports betting is capitalism at its absolute worst.
  13. I've watched so many videos of 75 year old men crying as they get to watch their favourite team win it's first ever World Series, so many father/son videos experiencing this together, so many kids who are having the time of their lives. That shoulda been us in those god damn videos. Just brutal.
  14. Baseball America (@baseballamerica) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM MLB is getting what it wants from its AFL outfield experiment ⤵️ On the one Arizona Fall League field with outfield... Interesting results so far.
  15. I just read a story that Judy Uecker (Bob's wife) watched the game last night from the American Family Field. She sat in Bob's chair, inside the team's home radio broadcast booth that her late ex-husband occupied for 54 years. Yesterday was her birthday and she celebrated it, while honoring her late husband and watched the Brewers win their 1st World Series. She married Bob in 1976. I say it all the time, but how can you not be romantic about baseball?
  16. Jesus Christ - this is America in a nutshell. Utter moron who got what he deserved. Imagine living life while being that stupid.

  20. I agree with all of this - except I think he's going to get a lot more. I can easily see a 4 year $100M deal for him. He should cost a lot more than Torres. I think he'll get more than Lowe too. I get a lot more uncomfortable if it takes 4+ years and/or $100M+. I could be wrong. Some 2 year $50M deal is a no-brainer.
  21. Sorry Term. I already have a ball signed by Roy Halladay. This time next year, Omar and I will be exchanging pictures of us, sitting by the fireplace, admiring our signed balls together. You'll be sitting there hoping that someone sends you a Swiss Chalet gift card in the mail for all your hard work entertaining this board. I'm sure it's coming Term - be patient.
  22. FFS - this post will probably win you a Roy Halladay signed baseball in the 2027 Award Ceremony. You're just too good Omar. Too good.
  23. Arranda is awful defensively. He just about killed Chourio.
