Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
For me - this depends on what the return is. If Teo nets you way more than Gurriel - then giddy up. -
Agreed - I mean I'm fine with a 1 year deal, but I'd like the upside of keeping him. He was the best relief pitcher in baseball in 2018 and 2019. Let's keep him around for a few years if we can.

Jon Lester had a .636 winning percentage and a 3.64 ERA with the Red Sox. He also had a .636 winning percentage and a 3.64 ERA with the Cubs.

Lindor Seager Story Correa Baez I'm going Seager over Story because he's a year and a half younger, has a better bat and doesn't have the Coors Field effect (not sure if it's real, but I'm putting some weight into it). Correa is 2 years younger than Baez - giving him the edge (I'd probably still give Correa the edge, although they both have their own warts). Edit - Laika beat me to the age argument...

Jerb - you are my favorite person on this board. You provide awesome content and never run your mouth.
-
Where are the Shatkin haters now!
-
I know Kirk is a little further along, but I wonder if the organization values Kirks a lot more than Moreno. The weight has to be a concern.
-
Perhaps - although you're getting Musgrove's prime years, instead of getting the declining stage of Tanaka, Paxton, etc. (assuming no Bauer). There's a chance Musgrove has another level.
-
Probably using a new product for grip.
-
I'm with you Spanky. I like Musgrove. Who's our equivalents to what the Padres gave up?
-
Prospects Hudson Head, David Bednar, Omar Cruz and Drake Fellows are going back to Pittsburgh.

I don't care what you thing either - but you're setting yourself up for disappointment if signing the top 2021 FA is the only thing that will make you satisfied as a fan. -

That can't be true. Talk about setting unrealistic expectations. -

There will be all sorts of "OK" options that don't break the bank. LaStella would be great. Sign Wong and move Biggy to 3rd (I don't really understand people who have concluded he can't play 3rd). If we signed Springer, there's a great chance that Martin is our starting 3rd basemen in 2022, if not sooner. There's a chance he's Bregman or Rendon there too. -
This. f*** me. This is the first guy we're rumored to be interested in that is a hard pass for me (assuming he's going to get real money offered to him).
-
I'm with you. Such a fascinating team with Trout, Rendon and Ohtani...but they are such a mess. They also need a SS if they aren't bringing Simmons back and Justin Upton needs to figure his s*** out.
-
Springer probably only plays CF for another 2-3 years - so yes.
-
This - we're not f***ing trading Martin. We have 2 large holes right one. One at 3rd (or SS if they actually think Bo moves off there) and CF. Martin fills one of those holes - possibly as soon as late 2021.
-
Man - tough break for the Browns on the Higgins end zone fumble. Not one mention by the broadcast crew that the Chiefs safety speared Higgins with his helmet. Isn't that supposed to be a penalty? Edit - apparently there was some discussion on it that I missed.
-
He's the only reason to tune in right now...
-
I spit out my coffee when you suggested we give JBJ a 4 year Contract. Hard No.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal

Mets have upper hand because Springer wants to play near Connecticut? -
Springer is over a year younger, has a much longer track record and currently plays a premier position (of need for the Jays). He's definitely worth more than DJL. Seeing DJL get 6 years sets the bar and we should expect Springer will also get 6 years. DJL only got $15M/year - and seemingly took less AAV to get the 6th year. I think Springer gets $20 - $25M AAV If a surprise team gets involved or the Mets throw caution to the wind, I think the Jays need to give him 6 years / $150M and get outside their comfort zone. Otherwise, I think 6 years / $135M makes Springer a BJ (that's 50% more AAV than DJL, which accounts for him being better and the premium to come to the Jays). If I'm the Jays, I front end it too. $35M,$30M, $25M, $20M, $15M, $10M. Springer gets his cash up front (compound interest) and gives the Jays more flexibility when Vlad, Bo, Biggy, Pearson, Teo need to get paid. To be honest, if you could get a front ended structure like this, I see no reason to lose him over $15M total either...get it done.

I hear their sisters love it.
-
If the Jays offered 4 years $78M, then that's $4.5M more per season to come to Toronto - that's 30% more per season. The guy went from a 90 wRC+ hitter in 2017 and 2018 to one of the best in baseball the past 2 years. His setup is near perfect in NY and I'm certainly not surprised he wanted to stay put. If he wanted to make as much money as he could, then he'd probably be signing in Toronto and betting on himself to age gracefully.
