  1. Boucher is great when he shows up. Doesn’t happen often enough. His contract is not outrageous luckily. But more than a role player should make. Espinal is platoon infielder who should be making close to the minimum his entire career and float around the league on multiple teams. I was actually annoyed when he made the All-Star team lol
  2. Sports is a game of stars. Those are the ones who should be paid. And everyone else gets that scraps. Connor McDavid barely making more than Darnell Nurse is example of how poorly market value works in sports currently. It use to be a lot more in control. NBA is by far the worst.
  3. As long as these contracts are only handed out at the high end I’m ok with these insane terms. Mid to lower end rotation guys should still be signed reasonably. Don’t want to see an NBA situation where role players are making 12-15m a year. Which is the equivalent of giving your utility man a huge contract. Would love to have Verlander for a couple of years. But he’s almost 40. Someone will give him that though. And honestly he probably deserves it. He should take his huge payday he’s got his 2 World Series.
  4. He’s not a switch-hitting CF with Power.
  5. They technically have 2 but doesn’t rule out Moreno for them who could play another position. Moreno would be a good starting point.
  6. Yes please. Perfect fit. Jays have what it takes to get this done as well.
  7. DeGrom definitely went to the Rangers for the desired place to live and security of that mega contract. Perhaps Mets would have given him similar money. But you definitely didn’t sign with the Texas Rangers to win. Even with their big splashes they don’t seem like a real threat in their division let alone the rest of the American League. Kind of disappointing to be honest.
  8. Chris Martin would be such a nice pickup for the Jays. Great deal for the Red Sox
  9. Boring. Brewers are never doing anything.
  10. Buck is fine in the colour role. Dan and Buck or Dan with Pat was fine. I guess will see who thet replace him with. Sidal kinda tries to hard to get his point across. Rarely flows. Fine tor short segments.
  11. Can’t say I saw this coming. Not really a huge fan of Sidal so if that means more him kinda sucks. He’s fine on the pannel with the ginger. But 3 hours of him is not ideal.
  12. With some of the other quality options out there Nootbar would be low on my priority list especially if his cost is up due to his control. Now if he was packaged with Hellz Bellz for Kirk I’m more in.
  13. I definitely don’t mind this. Definitely a respectable name to put on the bench.
  14. Interesting that Carlos Santana continues to stick around. His greatest strength was getting on base and he doesn’t even do that anymore. He still walks but doesn’t hit a lick lol. It’s actually incredible he could walk as much as he does and still post a low on base the last 2 seasons lol.
  15. Things can actually start picking up. Baseball off-season is so drawn out. Its not like the NBA and NHL where everyone basically signs the day free agency starts.
  16. Getting called an NPC is like the coldest insult ever. I'm f***ing dying laughing lol.
  17. Bellinger is the clear choice for me. Gallo for a potential platoon scenario Would not be happy if they signed Kiermaier.
  18. Kiermaier has a zero percent chance to hit though. Atleast the other 2 have upside with the bat and could hit 40 homeruns if everything clicks right.
  19. Oh no doubt about that. Brown is an Ivy League school and they reject more than 90% of people who apply there. You have to have to have insane credentials to get in.
  20. That’s disappointing. I just assumed she was a stand out female athlete that embarrassed her competition. That’s the only scenario where this makes sense. Weird that a school like Brown which is stingy on Acceptance unless you’re rich would try this.
  21. As long as you agree trading Kirk for a fair return might be the best course of action I don’t care about the rest. Kirk had a great season but his body is a legit concern and cashing in on his value now while hes young and under control for a long time is just a much bigger asset than Danny Jansen. Especially if they view Moreno as the long term solution at Catcher. And Danny Jansen remains a solid cheap capable veteran option who might have even more upside with the bat. If you can get a really good long term Outfield piece for Kirk you make that trade. That trade doesn’t exist for Danny Jansen.
  22. Any improvement to that cement dump is nice. But still disappointed we’re not getting a new Stadium. Especially since they were considering it. That location is way to prime though. It’s unfortunate they couldn’t just tear it down and rebuild on site. Jays could have played in Montreal for a year.
  23. Out of curiosity did the kid got the money for the autographs or did you profit off the little boys excitement?
  24. I can’t wait until Kirk is traded.
  25. I have no issues with Women playing in Mens Baseball or any spot for that matter as long as she’s good enough to be there and it isn’t a gimmick. What this tells me is she’s such a standout for her own peers she needs to be challenged. So she better be playing atleast semi regularly not just sitting on the bench. Otherwise she should be playing with the girls. Growing up playing youth Baseball in the Clarington/Durham. We had to travel to some towns in the middle of nowhere. One of them was a town called Blackstock. They had a girl on their team named Mercedes. We all knew her because she was the only girl in the League and she was far and away their best player. So they really gotta stand out or pass.
