    They should allow players to reach free agency sooner, but then also make it so no player can sign a multi year contract that takes them past 35 years old. That way players who are younger and in their prime get paid sooner, but teams won't be wasting money on past their prime 35+ year old players who aren't worth the contracts they signed when they were 30+ years old. A free agent who is 31? You can sign a 4 year deal max. Then you can only sign 1 year deals from that point on. A free agent who is 28? 7 years max. Then 1 year deals from that point on. Probably need a limit on AAV too though, something like 20% of the luxury tax threshold or something like that.

    Haha I was just going off the earlier assumption where people thought maybe the Jays were chasing Seager because they think down the road one of the core guys is going to test free agency rather than commit long term to the Jays. That'd be a hell of a line up for next season though. C - Jansen 1B - Vlad 2B - Biggio 3B - Ramirez SS - Correa/Story LF - Gurriel CF - SPringer RF - Teo DH - Reyes Moreno still in the pipeline making his debut at some point And a rotation of: Bieber Berrios Gausman Manoah Ryu f***, that'd be outstanding.

    Maybe if they Jays can still land Correa or Story they plan on executing a major blockbuster trade? Something along the lines of Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, Orelvis Martinez, Nate Pearson to the Guardians for Shane Bieber, Jose Ramirez, Franmil Reyes
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Geez. Too bad they just missed on Thor. Dammit If they were after Seager, I wonder if they're also after Correa now.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder if the Jays will have the inside track on these other Guerrero pups that are coming up.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Maybe they move Gurriel to 3rd if they land Suzuki. Or maybe they use Gurriel as part of a package for Jose Ramirez
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    Hopefully Espinal is on the juice this winter. Comes back in 2022 with popeye forearms and f***ing mashes. No one will ever know.

    Yeah I'm no trade proposal guru, but I doubt they can expect too much for 1 year of a reliever. Maybe there is better ways to upgrade the bullpen, but Rogers would be an amazing fit for the Jays right now. Borucki has shown flashes, he has great stuff. Maybe the Jays take the patient route with him. He's dirt cheap, and still under control until 2025. Relievers are volatile anyways. It's possible Borucki has a better year than Rogers when you factor in injuries and what not.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    The Twins are trash, Taylor Rogers is an elite reliever and this is his last year of control. They should trade him for a younger, controllable reliever with upside and maybe a wild card type prospect. Basically I'm saying I hope the Jays trade for him. Maybe Borucki and a guy like Murray or Pardhino?
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    I dunno, I think Espinal can be the "short term bridge" at 3B until Moreno/Groshans/Martinez are ready no? He had 2.2 fWAR last season and still projects to be a positive contributor this season according to steamer. Seager only projects to be marginally better. Plus you've got a bit of a wild card with Smith as well. Totally unproven at the MLB level, but he has plus speed, plus defense and f***ing mashed AAA last season as a rookie. I was against going with a combo of Biggio at 2B and Espinal at 3B earlier on, but I think I'm OK with it now that they are trying Moreno at 3B and as long as they take that extra money and put it into a solid 5th starter and the bullpen.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    f***ing ****s Better not miss a season right when the Jays have built a legit contender and all their young core players are still relatively cheap.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    1B - Vlad SS - Bo C - Jansen/Kirk 2B/3B - Biggio/Espinal/Smith/Moreno If they're going to do that, I hope they at least shore up the pitching. Need to add another decent starter and one legit high leverage bullpen arm, plus some depth.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    All three with just 2 years of control left, and all would likely cost as much as Berrios did to acquire. Maybe even more in the case of Castillo and Mahle. Of course, the Jays could lower that cost by quite a bit if they agreed to take on the rest of Moustakas contract.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    According to fangraphs the Jays are sitting around $161,000,000 payroll right now with arb estimates. Vladdy's estimate seems low too at only $7.9 million. Looking at what...another $15-20 million left to spend if the right players agree to come to the Jays?
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    What's the Rangers rotation? Gray, Dunning, Hearn, Alexy and Howard? Their starting outfield? Garcia, Calhoun and Billy Mckinney? They must have a bunch more signings coming because that team is still s*** right now.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    So the Jays get the Mariners and Rangers 2nd round picks in the next draft correct?
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    f*** you Kirby Yates you useless piece of s***
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Very nice depth signing.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    The big wild card in all of this is Gabe Moreno. If the FO is expecting him to come up and have a Bo Bichette level of impact while getting reps at 3B and catcher, they might not be as eager to fill that void via free agency as many fans are.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    That's actually a pretty competitive looking roster right there. Exciting to think that they can still probably add up to $40 million to it possibly. Plus Moreno at some point. Filled a huge gaping hole today with the Gausman signing. No go get Rodon and Iglesias or Mchugh.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Steamer has Rodon projected for 4 WAR this season. Man he would really round out the Jays rotation. Gausman Berrios Manoah Ryu Rodon Pearson Get it done Shatkins.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd gladly see him in Jays silks for less.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, and still won more games in a waaaaaay tougher division against waaaaay tougher head to head competition and also swept the Braves last season. I'm not saying AA didn't do good things. My issue was with the poster coming in saying AA = 1 vs Shatkins = 0 like it's just that simple and that the Braves winning the WS this season makes AA better than Shatkins. It really isn't that simple. Anyways, like I said when I first responded, this isn't the thread for this discussion. I'll move on.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Jays gave $5.5 million to Kirby f***ing Yates last off season. They will pay Garcia the same this year, what is the big deal?
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Lets get Rodon then. 2 year $36 million?
