Interesting. Im guessing the Jays liked Gausman more than Ray?

Except last year when they gave Bauer 40 mill a year lol

Whats DeGrom gonna get when its his time lol

Not mad at this at all. Curious to see what Ray gets now.

Martino reported earlier the Mets are in on Gausman, and that ge might sign soon. Looks like a pretty clear agent leak to Morosi to get the bidding war really going, so I guess its true Gausman will be signing soon.

Lol @ Cohen

Seemed wild, but Passan has cleared it up.

Morosi says its a club option.

11 years, 185. Option for a 12th year to take it to 223 million per passan

Mitch really wants you to know, he doesnt care what you think !

Ed being owner doesnt seem ideal, but hes essentially the guy calling shots now and its been going well. We'll see.

Canada will require all athletes to be vaccinated as the national exemption will expire january 15th. Another factor for the jays when acquiring players

Deal jumps up when Springer is off the books.

Wilner still acting like Rogers employs him

Love it.

Really curious to see what his deal looks like

A year longer than I expected, but the Jays had to do it.

From Shi Davidi: "What we know of the Blue Jays’ script so far is this: They made a strong offer for Andrew Heaney, according to an industry source, before the left-hander agreed on an $8-million, one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and discussed an extension with Matz. An intriguing question is whether a yes from one would have cut them off to the other, and that would be especially instructive about their intentions for the rotation. They’ll have to backfill for Ray and Matz if neither returns, making two starters a clear need, but successful upside plays akin to the ones both lefties provided in 2021 are essential for them. As a more established commodity than Heaney, Matz will get more term and a bigger number in average annual value, but adding both wouldn’t have precluded the Blue Jays from trying to land an impact player, as well. The guess here is that the ideal target for them in that regard is Corey Seager, a dynamic left-handed hitter who could slide over to another infield spot the way Marcus Semien did last year." https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/markets-early-days-reveal-blue-jays-off-season-script/

Seems like there will be a ton of competition for these top free agents. Even trash teams are looking to spend big. Apparently the Rangers could add up to 100M in payroll lol

Shi Davidis interview on blair and barker had some really nice tid bits. Said if he remembers correctly, the Marlins wanted one of Bo or Vlad + Borucki, Jansen and Alford for Yelich. Says at the time it didnt make sense for the Jays, but could be something they do now with a Martinez.

Man the raptors are way better than I expected.

Lol
