Pillar non-tendered after receiving that MVP vote.
-
T.Walker, Gausman, Jimmy Nelson, Travis Shaw, Treinen - sign them all!
-
It certainly looks like the last couple of years were a blip in the radar. Unfortunately for the Jays - they weren't quite ready to take advantage.
-
wRC+ of 119 and more walks than strikeouts in the 2nd half last year.
-
w...why? He can't hit.
-
Did that 1 MVP vote drive up his arbitration price too much?
-
Absolutely. He crushes RHP and is still only 29. He'd be a nice fit. There's probably a decent chance he's better than Mike Moustakas next year.
-
Justin Bour is signing in Japan. Remember when he was in the home run derby a few years back in Miami and he got hot and was loving every minute of it? That was awesome. I loved it.
-
That seems like a TON of cash for Drew Pomeranz. Then again, the Padres gave Hosmer a ton of cash, so I'm not surprised. Villar coming off a 4 WAR season being non-tendered is hilarious. Sign me up to add Profar, Treinen and Villar (somehow). Sign Bird to a minor league deal and then I'd even take a flyer on Aguilar - although I think there's a good chance he's done being an impact hitter.

wRC+ of 119 in the 2nd half last year with more walks than strikeouts. I can't fathom why the A's would non-tender him. I'd certainly be sniffing around to see what he costs. He'd be a good super utility guy here (ax Drury)
-
Grisham really broke out last year though, so I'm not sure we should just look at the prospect rankings to judge this. We really need someone like Grisham on this team!
-
Same. I wonder if his age factored in to those initial reactions? He'll be 35 in the final year of that deal. I mean that's not ancient, but he should be declining by then.
-
They may also non-tender or trade Blake Treinen
-
I think that goes without saying Ray. He seemingly has the tools, but may need a new voice to help him pull it all together.
-
I'd agree. I'd just like that trend to develop AFTER the Jays lock up the pieces they need to add to our core.
-
you like it because you think it's good when FA's are getting paid?
-
Encarnación to the Blue Jays (speculation only)

Is it almost time for the board awards? I've found some nominees. -
He was too high to think of that. Plus he had the arm bar mechanics...

General 2019 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
Brownie19 replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Do you even follow the Blue Jays sir? Our farm system remains very strong. -
fify McCann is a backup who simply had a good year.
-
Wouldn't teams just switch up their signs or use more elaborate signs to prevent this? Do we think teams still steal the complicated multi-faceted signs that catchers use with runners on base?
-
It's incredible time to be a fan. It's must watch TV at this point.
-
Man - I completely understand all of this. I wasn't trying to question this at all. I was just trying to narrow down exactly what the rule book says regarding this matter (as I don't like unwritten rules). I wonder how many teams study and learn signs from the 3rd base coach. It would be quite a nice advantage to know exactly when the team has called for a steal, bunt, hit and run, squeeze, etc.
-
C'mon man. I asked if stealing signs (in any form) was specifically in the rule book as being illegal. I was wondering if it's an official rule - or an unwritten rule. Hipfan said "using cameras to steal signs is explicitly illegal. If a player/coach on the field steals a sign, that's ok, but teams are not allowed to use technology to do so." If that's true, I find it interesting (that the rules say stealing signs is legal, but only without the use of technology). Then I simply posed a thought about how teams obviously use technology before or after a live game that helps players and coaches steal signs during games. So the rule is whittled down even more - the use of technology is only restricted to during live games. Why you mad bruh?
-
That's in the rule book? It says you can steal signs with your eyes, but can't use technology to do so? What if you use technology (ie, game film) to learn team signs and then use them with your eyes in the next game.
