  1. And once you get used to 12 in a few years, you'll be good with 14 lol.
  2. Ramirez will be a free agent in 2 years and i doubt we will be able to afford him with all the other guys being paid or needing to be paid by then? I'd prefer to save the prospect capital and just spend money on Bryant now so it won't matter if he leaves us in 3/4 years.
  3. This offseason is boring. It's already been 4 minutes and no signings yet...
  4. Woooooo I'm back baby. Thanks for holding down the fort. Next few weeks will be so excited with all the free agent moves/trades.
  5. Agree with the "f*** the players" notion. To continue the lockout on such minor details at this point is pathetic. f*** them and I hope they get screwed very hard now.
  6. Expecting this to get done by tonight if those are the differences. Only ego can prevent this from getting done at this stage.
  7. If Apple TV is your guys biggest problem then we're in a good spot. Let's get this s*** going, we will have one big free agent move or trade to make!!
  8. God bless all of you who are still staying active here during these times. It does separate the truly hardcore from the rest. See yall once there's a deal lol.
  9. Man... being so far apart when the game is pretty healthy overall just seems stupid from the fans perspective. You'd get it if one side was losing a lot more than the other but both sides seem to be doing pretty well overall. Instead theyre both going to the other extreme without budging much. I get that's how negotiations work sometimes but just hurry it up and meet in the middle already.
  10. Sign me up if it means we can get Bauer at a discount. If he didn't break any laws here, I don't care too much. Of course no jokes are off-limits though lol.
  11. Bonds and Clemens not being in the Hall of Fame is a complete joke. You might as well tear that building down. Ortiz got in because he's a media darling while Bonds/Clemens were not. You should not be in a position of power if you make decisions based on this. Both Bonds/Clemens guys were BEASTS before their supposed roid usage and were easily on track to make the Hall of Fame anyways. And of all people to get in is the guy who should be a poster child for Roids. Ortiz was a complete scrub and then got good out of nowhere. It's not a coincidence that he got busted for roids during that time.
  12. Hope they can nail this down now since any big delays here could start impacting the 2022 season, which means less money for both sides in the short term.
  13. Semien got severely overpaid in what was expected so that makes sense. Ray was looking to get slightly more than what we gave Gausman so I thought we did give an offer and we just chose whoever accepted first. Gausman got more closely to what was expected so that makes it more concerning why the Giants wouldn't even bother trying to match that offer. I'm sure you see the difference. Again, it could been strictly budget related for the Giants and really wanted him back but couldn't make it. I just said it doesn't make me feel better as a Jays fan knowing this tidbit, which was probably aimed at the San Fran crowd as to why he chose the Jays over the Giants.
  14. Not sure if that makes me feel better about Gausman from a Jays perspective lol.
  15. I'd rather spend the 250M on players tbh lol. A winning product will always attract fans. A losing product will not no matter how nice the park is.
  16. LOL I've watched too much Narcos to mess with anyone in Mexico.
  17. I f***ing love this guy. I really wish we were able to contend earlier so he could have had more chances in the playoff spotlight.
  18. Barry Bonds is the best player I've seen play baseball and deserves to be in the hall of fame period. Just thought I'd give my 2 cents lol.
  19. I get the excellent players part but if we're not able to re-sign them after their current contracts, it doesn't make much sense to lose all that control of someone like Bo. And if you're going to try to re-sign them then might as well use that money in free agency first. We're trying to sustain our winning and not just go for it in a 2 year window. Thats all I was trying to say.
  20. For one, it could probably help with his durability issues. Dude gets treated with kid gloves because he's probably never worked out in his life lol. Look at what getting in shape did for Ray. It wasn't a coincidence that he had his best season in a year he took his body seriously.
  21. Why give up all that when all we have to do is spend cash in free agency? Unless you're saying we give up all that just so Ramirez and Bieber can walk out the door once they fit free agency.
  22. That's great news for how the rest of free agency can go. Texas f***ed up free agency by giving out the contracts they did. Like I've been saying all along, I am extremely confident that we will be adding a difference maker in the infield. Now I'm curious if we could have signed Syndargard and gotten Gausman because that would put us in the mix for the remaining starters out there.
  23. I never said Semien needs to be replaced with a Semien like player but he better be more of a sure thing than guys who have yet to contribute at the big league level. I'd even like Donaldson if we could get the Twins to eat some salary. I'm never really a fan of expecting increased WAR from some players while not accounting for other injuries that can and probably will happen. Call me naive but I'm very confident we are adding a good infielder to this team. This will not be a half measure off season. Let's see what the landscape looks like when we return from the lockout.
  24. Who says it would be in stupid ways though? Expecting to replace a top 3 MVP candidate with the likes of Moreno or Smith I feel would be stupid in a year we're contending for a world series. Like I said, Moreno didn't even get a call up when we had a massive hole at 3B with performance/injury issues. Expecting him to take the starting job with 0 track record at the big league level while learning a new position seems far fetched. I will place my bets that our starting 3rd baseman is not currently on our roster. Just hoping he's good enough to stomach losing Semien a bit easier.
  25. Renfroe was so damn good for them while Bradley sucked balls and makes more money. All for 2 average prospects? There has to be a lot of cash going to Boston too right?
