  1. What am I missing on how an international FA signing would hold up normal FA signings and how it affects the Teams year end luxury tax????? You stated that Sasaki is holding up other(regular)FA signings?
  2. I think Alonso and Vlad have a symbiotic relationship. The Mets would prefer Vlad. If the Jays can't/don't sign Vlad, the Jays trade to Mets and Toronto signs Pete. So Pete is getting f***ed by Vlad.
  3. I thought the penalty was reduced international bonus funds or lower hard caps the next year? His actually salary would be very little wouldn't it? Plus the luxury tax isn't calculated until EOY. So, I don't think teams going after Bregman would need to wait until Sasaki signs? Or what am I missing??
  4. Why, all he is really costing is International $. Very cheap!! Are you talking roster spots?
  5. Great article about the FA process for Burnes and the Blue Jays role in it. The Jays let him keep a tablet…..😗 https://www.si.com/mlb/corbin-burnes-diamondbacks-free-agent-process?
  6. That’s the guy’s name I was referring to- Frank Hermann. He is our Silver Bullet if there is one.
  7. There is a connection or something with regard to the Rangers. A lot of industry insiders speculated the Rangers would be the third finalist vice the Jays. The Rangers also apparently have top notch facilities and amenities that equal or surpass the Blue Jays.
  8. Then he would have gone to the Rangers or Cubs. Our connection is that Scout/FO guy he has known for years, plus probably a combo of the Ohtani pitch/ facilities, the city/Country and Kikuchi/Munuri saying nice things..
  9. I literally said there are always IFs with pens. It just goes back to hope is not strategy. Hedging and quality late inning depth is integral to bullpen construct.
  10. So, Sasaki technically has until the 23rd to decide. However, I am not getting the sense they would want to announce on a weekend (Unlike the Ohtani Saturday IG post). Then in the U.S Monday is a holiday. MLK day, Plus!!! The inauguration of President Trump. I don’t think it would be smart to announce on Monday. Next Tuesday to Thursday would really be screwing over teams waiting to dip into the IFA pool. Therefore, I am summarizing, we will hear a decision between today and Friday afternoon. I have been wrong once or twice though.
  11. I agree looks much better now. I really liked the Sandlin pick-up. My issues is, there seems to be a lot more IF, then normal IF with pens. IF Hoffman stays healthy, If Yimi stays healthy, If Swanson returns to form.
  12. This makes the most sense and would be better for the overall Team! The domino that would need to happen is we sign Pete Alonso in conjunction with this move.
  13. I know you are trying to put a good spin on it. However a few rebuttal points. If you have money San Diego and Orange County (Where Ohtani lives)!can’t be beat in comparison. The Blue Jays had one of the least amount of player days on the IL in MLB. The Orioles lost their elite closer and half their SPs, as did the Dodgers? Astros lost key SPs, the list goes on. I honestly can’t recall the numbers. However,, I looked it up during the Ohtana saga. There are more Japanese in SoCal area alone then Canada I think it was. Not sure if he would get more endorsement opportunity if he wants it, then SOCAL even with Darvish, Ohtani and Yamamoto in the area.
  14. Just to set the tone. Sasaki went to dinner this past weekend in San Diego with Darvish, Jackson Merrill, and Machado. Might have been more, those are the only names I heard.
  15. To clarify, he had two meetings with Toronto in Toronto? I thought he had Zoom meetings originally with like 8 teams. One FTF in TO and two FTF in San Diego? Am I incorrect?
  16. Canada doesn’t even have a Prime Minister. He would also have to go to some special store to get Saki and Sappo beer and deal with bagged milk and leaning to one side when he walks due to his pocket being weighed down with Looneys.
  17. It’s from the Athletic behind a pay wall. However, multiple shows on MLB radio were stating that today.
  18. Just to clarify for folks. The latest visit with the Padres was his second FTF. When it says he met with the Blue Jays and then the Padres. The meeting after the Blue Jays was the second meeting with the Padres. I recall when buying cars over the years. I went to many dealerships looking for cars. However, I only went back a second time because I had decided on a vehicle from there and wanted to use a previous dealership as leverage.
  19. Padres have told other international prospects with verbal agreements - If they can find another deal, do so.
  20. He had bad experiences with media in Japan. I think he wants a smaller media market. West coast, great weather and location, his bro Darvish. SD, LAD, Jays in that order IMO.
  21. I say Padres. He has strong like Bull connection with Darvish and went to a Padres playoff game in the fall..
  22. If you were on the Bachelor and there were 5 girls remaining that you had to go on hometown dates with before the elimination rose ceremony. Would go on a date with the girl you like the most, first, last or in the middle??
