  1. I like the idea of signing one of the old dudes (Max/Bassitt) for a swingman role for extra SP depth.
  2. Kelly is sort of quietly one of the better SP options remaining on the FA market. He's getting up there in age but was still a top 30ish SP in the bigs last year and had produced 3+ wins in three of the last four seasons (injured in 2024).
  3. I would say no, unless he gets traded.
  4. I could see mixing in some sixth starter/BP days yeah
  5. Nah he's in the bigs. Time to move Berrios with the free agent SP market so bare now Gausman, Cease, Bieber, Yesavage, Ponce is filthy. If any of these righties happen to have an off night, we turn to lefty Lauer for length out of the pen.
  6. With the lack of higher upside SP options on the FA market, someone will pay Ponce like a #4 SP for 3-4 years.
  7. The Diaz contract will work as a rough framework for what Williams could have perhaps been able to fetch with a more usual season by the latter's standards, both being the same age (31) and two of the most elite relievers prior to Williams dip. Williams may not have lost much in annual salary but perhaps in his total guarantee, with teams still willing to commit big reliever money in the short term but evidently not on a long term deal. A less questionable Williams may have ended up with an extra 30-40M
  8. Yeah it's high end reliever money for a high end reliever, for only three years I would have been totally fine with it. I'd take Robert Suarez on a similar contract
  9. Wow that's crazy to hear that we are signing Diaz
  10. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/11/blue-jays-notes-helsley-berrios-management-extensions.html MLBTR discusses the possibility of a Berrios trade
  11. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-offseason-dates-rules-and-terms Rule V draft is Dec 10th
  12. Does Cease make excuses?
  13. There are teams (I mentioned the O's and A's) who aren't getting anything of quality out of the free agent pile, and as far as starting pitching goes, there isn't much there anyway. Sure they can try and sign free agent SP's, but once that market completely dries up, they'll have to pivot. Berrios with his track record, may seem more enticing than having to overpay to attract some gas can starter.
  14. A decent prospect (maybe top 150-200ish range) and change. We reallocate his salary to a high end RP and perhaps bring back one of the veteran SP for the rotation mix
  15. There are a clubs like the A's and O's who need veteran pitching and will always have a hard time attracting the starters of any quality. They should be interested in Berrios if he's made available.
  16. Rogers, Bradish, Kremer, Wells, Povich
  17. It was interesting to read back through MLBTR's predictions for that free agent class. They had Rendon ranked #2 (behind Gerrit Cole) and were pretty damn close on their projected contract at 7/235 - but they predicted Rendon would stay with the Nationals and had the Angels landing Cole... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2020.html
  18. Barger career high EV (in the MLB) was 116.5..... absolutely insane for this kid to be hitting the ball that hard at his age, against any level of pitching.
  19. Just noticed these this morning, have been forgetting to check this section. But looks like I'm just in time to catch up before the Jays list drops today, thanks for posting these @Spanky__99
  20. I do think acquiring Marte would very likely negate the need to bring back Bo, and we could then use Bo's allotted salary elsewhere. Unless one of them is moving to 3B I guess. However, at this point I also don't believe that checking in on Marte would necessarily mean that we are sure Bo is gone. The Bo situation could still conceivably be very much up in the air and they are merely exploring all opportunities to add high end talent
  21. Sure the tarring can be rough but look on the bright side, being feathered brings you that much closer to feeling like a blue jay
  22. Had some initial interest in Gray when I read him mentioned among other top trade candidates, but less so after I checked his savant page. FB velocity is waning and his barrel/hard hit percentages are concerning. He might get rocked in the AL East this year https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/sonny-gray-543243
