    I can't wait to watch this off season play out. I believe that even without any signings or trades they already have a solid team. But, they obviously won't stand pat. They will be in on so many things and they have payroll room to make big signings, they also have prospect capital to make big trades. There are several different ways they can try to go.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    Good point. Let's hope it happens. That'd be a game changer.

    Jose Ramirez would fit this roster so perfectly. 3rd base, switch hitter, high OBP, high OPS.... Just don't see any way Cleveland moves him without a massive, massive overpay considering his contract. And then, even if they do they likely find an NL team to send him to instead of potential wild card competition.

    In no way did I want to see the Jays trade Kirk, but then Jansen had a nice turnaround. He may be alright after all. Like I proposed earlier in this thread, I could see them packaging Kirk with Pearson for a good starting pitcher with some control. It'd be a way to fast forward Pearson's development. I suggested German Marquez. Do that, then also land a good FA pitcher and the rotation would be a juggernaut for many years. Especially with a Berrios extension. Berrios *Marquez* (example) *Stroman* (example) Ryu Manoah

    Who's better, Berrios or Marquez? Which set of prospects is better, Martin/SWR or Kirk/Pearson? Of course I guess you have to consider that Marquez contract right now is way better than Berrios contract was when the Jays acquired him, because of term.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Hmmm, not an "ace" so to speak, but very good and belongs at or near the top of a rotation. Pretty much a lock for 3-5 WAR.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    Thank you. I see Marquez as a premium starting pitcher and he's on a pretty sweet deal for 3 more seasons. You try to sign a pitcher in free agency of that quality it's going to cost 20-25 million per year for probably way too many years. Get a pitcher like that and you can afford to let go of Pearson, and as everyone knows catcher is a position of great depth so you can afford to let Kirk go as well.

    Marquez has 17 career WAR at 26 years old, Matz has 9 career WAR at 30 years old. Plus Marquez has 3 more years of control on a contract with team friendly options. And yes to the poster that asked, including Grichuk as a salary dump was part of the deal and why I gave up as much as I gave up in the proposal.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Grichuk, Kirk and Pearson for German Marquez Too much? Too little? Jays could roll with Jansen/Mcguire until Moreno is ready for a call up.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Rasiel Iglesias / 2.8 WAR / 13.2 K/9 Hector Neris / 1.2 WAR / 11.4 K/9 Yimi Garcia / 0.5 WAR / 9.4 K/9 Mychal Givens / 1.5 WAR / 9.5 K/9 Collin Mchugh / 1.9 WAR / 10.9 K/9 Kendall Graveman / 2.1 WAR / 9.8 K/9 Ryan Tepera / 1.8 WAR / 10.9 K/9 Just a few of the intriguing relievers on the FA market this off season. Hopefully leave some payroll room to pick up a couple of these types.

    Well they were 4 games above .500 and 5 games out of a wild card spot this year and still bought, so definitely more than that to be sellers I guess. If they're more than 5 games out of a wild card by the deadline next season they will have had to have had a terrible off season and/or a crap ton of things go wrong during the season. Hopefully we don't have to find out the answer to your question
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Lol. Well yeah, the reason they gave up those prospects to get him was because he's a good pitcher. Both go hand in hand. Still young, talented and durable. They've got to get him signed this off season.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Hopefully they don't have to find out because they get him signed to a long term extension this off season. Have to pay the man when you give up two high end prospects to get him.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, Yates has to come cheap for sure. Sure as hell don't want to have to rely on him, just try to get him on a bargain and if he works out then it's just a bonus.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Should the Jays go after Rasiel Iglesias? Or is that too risky pouring that much money into one pen arm? He's an elite closer though, and it'd be nice to have some insurance on that front. Probably going cost what...$15 million per on a multi year deal? Sign Iglesias, roll the dice on Yates again and between those two, Romano, Mayza and Merryweather you are building a potentially elite collection of high leverage bat missers.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    I know we have Bo at SS, but I still reaaaaaaally hope the Jays can get their hooks into Correa somehow. Would make the money tight when they try to extend core pieces in the future, but still better than giving up the assets it would take to get Ramirez. Since the Jays already have Berrios, Manoah, Ryu at the top end and Stripling, Pearson and Hatch for depth, I wonder if they stay away from the big, longer term pitching contracts this off season and go dumpster diving to find the next "Ray" or "Matz" instead? I imagine Pete Walker and the FO have a long list of SP's they think they should target and fix.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Is Rodon for real? What is his worth? 6 x $25 million? More? Syndergaard for 1 x $20 million? Rodon Berrios Syndergaard Ryu Manoah Would probably the best rotation in MLB on paper no?
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Goddamn, those would have been solid adds and neither would have been rentals. I Wonder if those will be revisited or if they will stay on the back burner now that the Jays can try to fill those holes via free agency and save the acquisition cost.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    It's a hell of an improvement from what he did in 2020. Since the Jays traded for him during 2020 I'm assuming they thought they could get him back on track and he started to show signs of that for an extended stretch of games. . And yes, he got hot for 12 starts (3.83 ERA) and then got f***ing injured. So it's not like it was a random smattering of starts and then he turned to s*** again. We'll see what he does next season.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    The jury isn't out on most of those guys. Hell, the jury isn't really out on ANY of them to be honest. And every single one of those guys on that list battled injuries this year, except maybe Thornton. Also, Stripling was just fine this year. Once he settled in he had a stretch of 12 starts from June to August where he was putting up numbers very similar to his LA days and then he got injured and missed a month. When he came back his spot in the rotation was gone and he only got a few more innings in relief.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    I know what I posted. You told me I was setting myself up for disappointment, I'm telling you I won't be disappointed if they don't get any of those guys. I'm confident they'll have an effective rotation next year either way. Then you s*** on that too lol. So knock yourself out man, s*** away if it's what you want to do. I think Scherzer will stay in LA, but I grouped him with two other #1 starters and I "hope" the Jays can sign one of them. Syndergaard is a huge question mark at this point. The guy's basically been injured for 2.5 years now. It'll be a gamble for whoever signs him. I hope the Jays get to take that gamble though. Either way, the Jays did a good job last year of turning a s*** rotation into a very good one. Since they are starting a better place I'm sure they'll be just fine.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Oh ok I see. I guess we're pretty much f***ed then. lol
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Nah. I'm not worried. Even if they get spurned by all those big names I'm pretty confident the Jays FO will have a strong rotation next season. They are apparently pretty good at finding starting pitching. Look at what they had to work with last off season...Ryu and a bunch of question marks. Then to top it off Ryu ended up having his worst season, and Pearson didn't take a step forward like everyone had hoped, yet the Jays still had a very good rotation. This off season they already have a much stronger nucleus to build around with Berrios, Manoah, Ryu and Stripling.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    I imagine the Jays will kick tires on Rodon too. Hopefully they can get one of Scherzer, Ray, or Rodon Really hoping they can get Syndergaard to sign as well. If not let's hope they can bring Matz back. 1. Sherzer/Ray/Rodon 2. Berrios 3. Ryu 4. Manoah 5. Syndergaard/Matz That'd be one hell of a rotation.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    What's Stroman probably going to get? 6 x $20 million? 5 x $25 million? I really hope the FO can get Berrios extended this off season.
