I read an article on various potential trades. I think one to Miami is the best fit...although I'm not sure they'd need to give up the 18th pick too unless Houston really hates Tua (and they likely don't make this trade unless they believe in him).
-
Apparently his relationship with Wentz was also beyond repair - although rumours are the Wentz was a total dick about being benched, acting like a prima donna. Still, the organization might want to keep the option of keep Wentz open. Might be a good time to get the f*** out of Philly though.
-
It will be interesting what the high performance team decides for him this year as they clearly coddled him with kids gloves last year.
-
I thought we banned Morosi updates on this board. If not, we should. f*** him.
-
I agree - most of our best SP depth needs to end up in our bullpen....and I suspect those guys (Merryweather, Hatch, Murphy, etc.) will end up as some of our best options. The question is - does this impact their ability to develop as starters? It seems the thought process on this is constantly changing.
-
I think he's certainly earned that. He pushes the ball down the field a lot better than most backups.
-
I agree with this, but with the understanding he probably isn't signing an extension (which may decrease the cost to acquire him). But those are the same reasons the Cubs probably keep him (unless they get a good package).

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Like the Jays Stroman trade / Ryu signing... I doubt it, but maybe? -
f*** he leans forward on his shot like he's a 7 year old who doesn't have the strength to take a jump shot yet. WTF is up with that?
-
I wonder if this plays into teams decisions to sign him or not. If MLB does crack down on substances, are you getting the 2019 version? Do teams know which pitchers are using it? do they know which pitchers can still dominate without it? Does it benefit some more than others? or is everyone using it and thus there will just be a massive adjustment league wide. This s*** is complicated.
-
Sad - one of the true characters of the game. RIP Tommy
-
I believe the report said the Jays original offer was $115M. For all we know, they have already countered with higher values - or maybe they are sticking to their guns on this. Who knows. I don't think we should get too fixated on the #'s.

"Verlander apparently told Harkins in a phone call that "the league has let this go on for 100 years," and claimed MLB began cracking down on pitchers using doctored substances after it learned teams were hiring chemists and conducting studies to find better ways to increase spin rate, according to court documents obtained by the Houston Chronicle's Chandler Rome." I've long suspected that some teams were doing this. I wonder how many teams are and if it's given the an advantage. Given all the player movement, you'd expect it would be somewhat limited as a player moving from a team with the scientific substance would soon realize his new team is just slapping Bullfrog Sunscreen and rosin together and hoping for the best. The 'good s***' would probably spread fast around the league.
-
What ever happened to Bauer wanting 1 year deals? Give him 1 yr $45M. I guess we really want to lock him in for at least the next 3-4 years. I kind of expect him to sign a really complicated deal with a ton of opt-outs.

Blue Jays sign George Springer to a 6 year, $150M deal
Brownie19 replied to Jays24's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
you're assuming what "somewhat less than $150M" means... My advice, don't get so caught up on all of this, you'll just end up being upset. It's all reports and who knows what (if anything) is true. Just relax. It certainly seems like teams will benefit by being patient this offseason. There don't seem to be many buyers and there are lots of quality players available. The Jays have flexibility to take advantage of this, which could accelerate AND extend their competitive window if they play this right. Teams that say f*** it, it's only money and overpay almost always regret it. -
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.
