  1. Damn, Neris was a guy I was hoping the Jays would bring in.
  2. Probably. Based on last years stats the Mets added 11.1 fWAR today Based on steamer projections they added 7.2 fWAR today
  3. Escobar Canha Marte Mets aren't landing any big fish yet, but they're nibbling away.
  4. Didn't know that, thanks. Still a steep price though.
  5. Kirk, Biggio, Hoglund and Palacios for two years of Marte? That's a pretty steep price A full year of a healthy Biggio and Kirk might provide more WAR than Ketel would so it doesn't make much sense for Toronto to do that.
  6. Going to be interesting to see if any more in house relievers start to filter their way onto the MLB roster this coming season. Romano made it, Mayza as well. Borucki kind of fizzled but I wouldn't count him out totally yet if he can learn to command his pitches he's got solid stuff. Snead and Saucedo both got a taste last season, looked OK I guess. Guys like Taylor and Stadler supposedly have major heat to bring, but control issues. Danner got added to the 40 man, Johnston had one hell of a season last year and made it up to AAA, although he is a big time FIP and xFIP beater. Spraker supposedly has good stuff and was named the AFL's best reliever. Then you have Adrian Hernandez down in AA with a 15K/9 average at 21 years old, good lord.
  7. Ah, didn't realize he had signed an extension. I wonder if there is any chance in hell they could pry Rogers away from the Marlins? Probably not.
  8. One of: Castillo Sonny Gray Alcantara Lopez Bassitt Manea
  9. Gausman has been pretty good for 3-4 seasons now.
  10. Rodon is injured a lot. You sign him and you'll be lucky if you get 120-130 innings out of him. That might work out OK for the Jays though if they still have Pearson and are trying to ramp his innings up gradually. Right now my pipe dream is Scherzer and Rodon both on 2-3 year deals. Scherzer Berrios Rodon Ryu Manoah Pearson Stripling I'd love to go into the season with that SP depth.
  11. Honestly I was hoping maybe they'd be able to sign both in free agency (keep the prospect pipeline stacked up), and they still might, but starting to look less likely with every SP signing.
  12. Hopefully the Jays land a good SP in free agency. We need two of them and it'd be nice to not have spend a ton of prospect capital to get them.
  13. f***en White Sox Hendriks Kimbrel Graveman That's an expensive bullpen I wonder if they look to move Kimbrel, who wasn't very effective as a set up man.
  14. I wonder what a 2 year deal for Yates looks like? If it's not too expensive I'd love to see the Jays get in on that. 2 years $5 million total?
  15. Hiraldo? He was a wRC+ 100 in low A I don't think anyone is going to take him and play him in MLB next season are they?
  16. 1. Berrios 2. Ryu 3. Manoah 4. Stripling 5. Pearson 6. Hatch 7. Kay 8. Logue 9. Francis That's all the SP's on the 40 man right now. Get a guy that can slot in at #1-2 and a guy that slot in at #4-5 and they're in decent shape.
  17. I'm very interested to see how they bolster the bullpen this off season. They went hard after Hendriks last off season, so it stands to reason they would target Iglesias this off season, although Romano did have a pretty good year and is more proven now. I don't know what it would cost, but it'd be great if they could land Taylor Rogers from the Twins. Him and Mayza would be one hell of a 1-2 lefty punch in late innings. I wonder if Borucki plus a prospect would get it done? Romano, Mayza, Cimber, Richards is a solid starting point, Merryweather too but you can't count on him at all. It's just a bonus if he actually stays healthy for once. You take those 5 guys and add in an Igelsias and a Rogers and you might have something.
  18. I don't think either guy will come back, and I won't be upset if they miss out on them either as long as they find replacements. But if they do re-sign them both, it wouldn't be the worst thing to get the band back together. I don't know if Ray can piece together another CY type season, but it would still be a very good rotation more than likely.
  19. I'd 100% be OK with 1 year deals for either guy. Especially Rodon. He's a 5 WAR SP when healthy and still just 28 years old.
  20. Imagine signing Seager or Correa to play SS, moving Bo to 2B and trading for Ramirez to play 3B? lol Most valuable infield in baseball. That'd be bonkers.
  21. I wonder if the Jays even go after Suzuki. Jays outfield is already full up. I know we speculate at times about bringing in a potential upgrade and then trading one of Teo or Gurriel, but would the front office break up the three amigos at this time? It is a business I know, but Vladdy/Teo/Gurriel seem like such a tight group and the foundation of what keeps the team so loose and fun. I don't know if the FO would be eager to break that up at this point unless it was the only way to improve the team.....and certainly is not the only way to improve the team, it's probably not even close to being the best way to improve the team either.
  22. Probably not but you never know. I wouldn't count this FO out of anything.
  23. Scherzer + Verlander would be a massive home run in my opinion. Verlander for 1-2 years and Scherzer for 2-3 years. On paper that rotation would be off the hook and you avoid the long term commitments you'd have if you signed a Ray or a Gausman for example. Scherzer Berrios Verlander Ryu Manoah Then you bring Pearson along slowly and hang onto all your prospect capital for now.
  24. Verlander as the main SP signing would be very risky but have huge upside too. Considering we started last season with a staff of Ryu, Diesel, Zeuch, Matz and an unproven Ray and ended up with one if the better rotations in baseball despite Ryu being decidedly average I think I'd be ok starting the season with Berrios, Manoah, Ryu, Verlander, as the top 4 guys.
