    Still not getting my hopes up.

    NL west teams are probably racing to the phones to offer up bonus pool money to the Jays at a discount.

    Still not getting my hopes up. I can’t do that again!

    If I recall correctly, BP weighs upside very heavily. Given that, I am kind of Surprised Nimala isn’t on it. it’s definitely a list that had a lot of different names in different places.

    To be fair, Luis Robert probably won’t be standing due to injuries

    No thanks to that douche canoe

    There are some appealing things I can think of: 1. Daulton Varsho at CF and Giminez up the middle 2. Their facilities in both Toronto and Dunedin are among the best in the business. 3. Toronto still has direct flights to Tokyo and they are only 40 minutes longer than from San Diego. 4. a good chunk of the luxury housing hasn’t burned down recently in Toronto. 5. a dome may appeal to him

    Maybe he wanted to try the mound he might pitch 16 games a year from?

    I have seen some people claim he is using the Jays for leverage. There is no leverage here folks. His contract will be the bonus pool the teams have…there is no need to use another team as the price can’t be driven up.

    Seeing the news about Santandar considering short terms deals on the heals of the Hoffman signing makes me wonder if the Jays are getting up against their budget and allocated funds they were going to spend on Santandar on Hoff instead.
  11. mphenhef
    It’s likely an issue for the Jays due to having to give up draft assets to sign him. If that turns out to be just one year that they have him that will hurt more. that being said, with how useless this front office is at drafting and developing they shouldn’t let that stop them.

    I wonder if how bad Springer looked in his age 34 season is impacting this?
  13. mphenhef
    Where is the barf emote when you need it?

    This is not allowed in the CBA and I believe MLB has said they would penalize the team and void the contract if it was felt an agreement was made to circumvent the IFA limits.

    I would argue that last years team was done in by almost every inning in the early going being leverage in close games due to the lack of offense and good pitching and defense. There were very few laugher games. It caused way too much demand on the bullpen in the early season and they wore down early. Once the hitting came around our pen was atrocious due to the east overworking causing injuries and ineffectiveness.

    He was projected at 3M. He still has a Cy finalist season contributing to his case keep in mind.
  17. mphenhef
    At least for LA, he might prefer snow over wildfires right now.

    Every team should be all in on Him. He’s a potentially elite pitcher who has to sign a low valued contract while also opening up new marketing opportunities. The real question is if they have a chance? Pros for Toronto: * direct flights to Japan * great facilities * great defenders * hard to say on this one but political climate may work in their favour for a foreign born player. * Yusei vouching for how much he loved the city and org. * perceived lack of attention in Toronto and Roku seems to want to be out of the limelight.

    Shi proving once again that he is a modern day Shakespeare. I love that analogy but hate that it is true about my favourite team.

    The let’s trade the Canadian guy to the Canadian team is a tired and lazy narrative in my opinion.

    Weren’t the Jays top 5 farm years pre Vlad and Bo debuts?
  22. mphenhef
    AA left them with Vlad, Jansen, Romano, Mayza and the front office guys who fought the current guys tooth and nail to take Bo. The fact that up until last year there were still more AA draft picks/international signings playing meaningful time for the time than new regime picks is pretty telling. AA traded away a lot of the farm in 2013 and 2015 but he was also quick to build it back up again through good drafting and development. We are still waiting on those waves now ten years into the new guys.

    Here here, from the way things are looking payroll may decrease just due to no one worth it being willing to take money to join this dumpster fire.
  24. mphenhef
    Tanner Scott is the guy you spend money on when your front office admits defeat on developing any kind of pitching including relief pitching. So yeah, he’s a candidate here.
  25. mphenhef
    So part of the reason payroll is able to expand is due to the hire of Shapiro and his efforts on the ballpark and facilities renovations to generate additional revenue for the club. From the day he was hired it was made very clear he was a business hire over a baseball hire.
