    Thats what they have been signalling all off season. Talking about cutting payroll. Letting Miley walk, getting, mediocre returns for Gray and now packaging Winker with Suarezs contract.

    I think the trade would be a bit easier to swallow since we would keep the two crown jewels of the system

    Its funny, I was in San Diego over christmas for like 10 days and it did not stop raining, kinda ruined the trip
  5. RustyTrombone
    My number one choice would still be to sign Freeman and move slimmer Vladdy to 3b where he has the most experience and let Espnial and Biggio fight for 2b.

    Stop trying so hard. There is no universe where Schwarber makes us a worse team

    So does this trade set the market for what type of return Ramirez might get? Friendlier contract compared to Olson but they are same years of control, similar caliber players with Ramirez having a longer track record. Maybe that makes the Jays equivalent Groshans, Pearson, Kirk and Hoglund? Doubt Indians would get Moreno or Orelvis.

    It will be called selling high when he tears his groin or shoulder or eye lid or something come April.
  9. RustyTrombone
    Thats because he is, isnt he? Or like 5'8?

    Dude a .950 ops would make him like a 6+ WAR player, a borderline MVP. You are dreaming if you EXPECT that from him. To hope he can do that one or twice over the next few years, maybe. But realistically we should be ecstatic if he can repeat 2021 for the next 3 or 4 years. And if he DOES have a .950 ops season in him you can expect his contract demands to go way up to like close to Springer territory like 5 years 120M.

    Oh god no. Well sounds like it will be another year of listening to the other teams broadcast.

    Drug of abuse for Pompey so probably just weed. Stupid how they still test for that in the MILB while in the MLB they dont test for any recreational drugs.

    When the new CBA gets done testing will 1000% be a part of it. But for now there is no testing. So if a player wanted to he could do a few cycles, gain the benefits over the course of a few months, assuming he started right as the CBA expired back in December, and then have it completely out of his system by the time the new CBA is signed and testing is happening again. Im gonna guess quite a lot of guys did this, especially the fringe major leaguers.

    Nothing new to any one who watched the team play all season. Bullpen was extremely anti clutch in the first half, offense was anti clutch for most of the season. Alot of absolute bloodbaths to drive up the run differential. Probably about the worst possible season a true "great" team could have and still win 90 games.
  15. RustyTrombone
    Seems like it means the loss of a draft pick will be getting removed. Not the team losing the player getting a comp pick.

    Moreno is not some defense first catcher who has to stick behind the dish. If his hitting is as good as its supposed to be do you really want his knees to be shot by the time he's 30? Or to get bowled over ala Posey? Or get concussed via foul tips? His hitting is his calling card and he is 100% a guy who you consider moving off C to preserve his body. The fact he is athletic is a blessing because its not just a move to 1b that could be considered but to potentially a valuable defensive position (3b, 2b)
  17. RustyTrombone
    Semien maybe 35%, Seager maybe 15%.
  18. RustyTrombone
    I think you give him the chance to show he's still horrible there, if he's even just below average like Devers then your ok. But worst case scenario then I guess espinal goes from utility guy to primary 3b and Freddy/Vladdy split 1b/dh which obviously isn't ideal. This scenario hinge on Vladdy sticking at third I suppose.
  19. RustyTrombone
    Lowkey Jays should go after Freeman to play 1st and move Vladdy back to third. Vladdy seems to be taking his conditioning very seriously now and in my eye was capable of playing third. Should go after other first but if you strikeout on Jram/Seager etc then pivoting to Freddie might not be a bad idea. 6/150?
  20. RustyTrombone
    Thats a bit much for Thor no? Coming of TJ? Thats probably not enough for Schwarber. Can easily see a team going 4/80+ for him. Whatever move with Yates. same as last year. If it hits great if not only 2M guaranteed. LOL to Neris. Not paying a mediocre reliever like Givens 6M.
  21. RustyTrombone
    Max Meyer for Alejandro Kirk. Who says no? Probably the Marlins I guess. But would be an interesting move for both teams. Jays need pitching badly. Meyer looks like he could be contributor in 2022 and the Marlins need hitting badly and have a surplus of SP.
  22. RustyTrombone
    Stroman is Bauer 2.0 but black so he gets to get away with all the s*** he pulls on social media. Smart teams will stay away from him to avoid a fiasco.
  23. RustyTrombone
    We gonna have a playoffs thread? Or is it all going in here?
  24. RustyTrombone
    Yes. He needs to be gone. Too much money for something that Palacios can probably provide next year for 500k. Free up that 10m for a big contract.
  25. RustyTrombone
    Ray and Semien would be the Springer type deals. Split 50m between the 2 of them and you still have another 5-10m to spend depending on how much Rogers increases payroll.
