    I don't think the organization actually wanted to trade Halladay as he asked to be traded to have a chance to compete.

    The guy is injured and having an awful season. What's the rush to trade him if it's going to return pennies on the dollar?

    Bo is expected to be out several weeks at minimum and the trade deadline is only like a week away. Seems like the two sides are stuck with each other for the time being.

    He reportedly slimmed down and took up yoga in the offseason. It's not like he's suddenly a stickman or something though as he's obviously carrying plenty of muscle on his frame.

    That could easily end up like JA Happ for McKinnery and Drury all over again.

    Springer very well may in the midst of an offensive breakout, it just took several months into the season for it to start.

    There are reports floating around the internet that Bo actually preferred to be drafted by the Blue Jays and told other teams he wouldn't sign with them. This seems to indicate he was perfectly happy to be a Toronto Blue Jay. This doesn't discount the possibility that he would prefer to be moved at this juncture for sure but it's a giant stretch to suggest he never wanted to be in Toronto.

    All of the best pitching prospects are hurt. That includes Maroudis, Tiedemann, Macko and Barriera.

    That's nonsense. One of the pitches being called a ball was the instance of Gausman missing his spot by the entire width of the plate and Jansen had to reach to catch it, that's not Jansen's fault. Another one was a very borderline pitch that was basically a 50/50 call at best.
  10. max silver
    Did he force Gausman to throw a middle middle meatball?
  11. max silver
    What's done is done, I just hope that he can maintain some of these gains into next season.

    This is downright dumb. A pitch that needs to be blocked isn't catchable in the first place, it's obvious you have an axe to grind with comments like that one.

    Even if the Jays tried to tank they will have to deal with the anti-tanking draft lottery and won't get to pick at the top of the draft year over year.

    I think that team was comparable to the 2015 team as one of the best in baseball.
  15. max silver
    There is definitely a tall hill to climb back into contention but it's possible if enough things go right. If the team is another stinker nearing the deadline it can still be blown up and rebuilt from the ground up.
  16. max silver
    Yeah I don't think anyone can fault the front office for a player who has recently become increasingly injury prone and inexplicably losing his ability to produce at the plate.
  17. max silver
    There were multiple reports that Tiedemann showed up for spring training notably larger than previous seasons so getting bigger and stronger isn't likely what's required.
  18. max silver
    I still notice him sitting on the bench on tv all the time. You can't miss the s*** eating grin he always features no matter how the game is actually unfolding.

    This seems fitting:

    I'm pretty sure this isn't an apples to apples comparison. You are taking the dollar per WAR value of non Blue Jays players based on last season, and for the players signed by the Blue Jays you are using their dollar per WAR for this season.

    Simply getting the higher ceiling pitching prospects healthy would make a big difference. Healthier seasons from the likes of Tiedemann, Barriera, Rojas and Maroudis would dramatically improve the pitching outlook in particular. Add Yesavage who looks like he's going to move quickly as a highly polished college pitcher to the aforementioned group and the pitching depth starts to get a lot more interesting.

    I think Pederson was a really strong bounceback candidate based on his underlying numbers from the 2023 season. His .366 xwOBA was nearly identical to his .367 xwOBA from the prior season but the on field results dropped from .373 wOBA to .331 wOBA.
  23. max silver
    With the level of defense he provides that would still likely to lead to something like a 2.5-3 win season for $7 million. That's still a great value signing. Projection systems are calling for 88-93 wRC+ the rest of the way which is a touch above his career averages so 70 seems pretty unlikely.
  24. max silver
    For sure he would need to start in the minors. A better question would have been whether he could potentially work his way into the rotation as soon as next season as he might be close to ready to handle that kind of workload as he's up to 90 innings on the season already. If he throws more innings in the minors after the draft that could have him ready for a full season starter workload very soon.
  25. max silver
    Apparently there was competition for IKF so if the Blue Jays didn't hand him that deal someone else would have. I still like the Rodriguez signing as well as I think he has the necessary arsenal to at least be an effective back of the rotation pitcher. If he can iron out the command to find a little more consistency in the strike zone he could eventually perform more like a mid rotation arm for 5th starter money.
