    1. Ryu 2. Stripling 3. Pearson 4. Ray 5. Roark 6. Kay (stretching out?) 7. Hatch (stretching out?) 8. Merryweather (stretching out?) 9. Zeuch 10. Murray 11. Manoah 12. Woods-Richardson Staying as relievers? -> Borucki, Yamaguchi, Murphy, Reid-Foley, Perez I think that's who Atkins stated they were planning to stretch out and who they weren't. Definitely would like to see a potential top half of the rotation starter added, to push the rest down a notch. Bauer is the most obvious choice. They could also go the trade route, maybe Lance Lynn? I'd still also like to see a reclamation project type guy signed with big potential to be a dark horse. Kluber or Archer for example, but I'm thinking Ray might be that guy now.

    Trade for Lindor, extend him. Sign Bauer Sign Kluber or Archer as a reclamation project Sign JBJ That'd be a pretty sweet off season. 3B - Biggio 2B - Bichette SS - Lindor DH - Hernandez LF - Gurriel 1B - Vladdy RF - Grichuk CF - JBJ C - Jansen / Kirk I don't know where you fit Tellez in here. Trade bait? Comes off the bench? Depth? SP - Ryu SP - Bauer SP - Pearson SP - Kluber/Archer SP - Stripling Roark, Merryweather, Hatch, Kay, Zeuch..... CP - Romano RP - Dolis RP - Cole RP - Borucki RP - Yamaguchi Maybe you throw a little money into the pen as well by signing a big name high leverage arm. Not sure if you want to just hand the closer role to Romano out right. Jays FO seems pretty good at finding some nice relief arms from the bargain bin too.

    Imagine adding Hendriks (13.1 K/9 - 0.671 WHIP) and Rosenthal (14.5 K/9 - 0.845 WHIP) to the bullpen with Romano and Dolis. There would be a lot of bats missed.

    I wonder if Jackson McClelland is going to factor into the Jays bullpen. Supposedly high 90's heat with a wipe out slider. Read somewhere a couple seasons ago that he led the FSL with a swinging strike rate of 18.9% or something like that. Really blows not having minor leagues to follow these guys progression.
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    Wow. 13.1 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 over the last two seasons. 1.79 ERA, 0.897 WHIP. 161 K's in 110 innings. I knew he was doing good in Oakland, but that is just nuts. Guy is going to get paid. I can't see the Jays pouring money like that into the bullpen. They seem to do pretty well finding bargains in that department, plus all the spill over from the systems converted starters. Not my money though, so I'd be fine with it.

    Trading for Lindor and extending him would be an incredible add to the position player core. An above average switch hitting bat with power and speed, and a gold glove level short stop who is just turning 27. Plus moving Bichette to 3rd would be an upgrade at that position as well. What's the cost though? Probably one of Jansen, Kirk or Moreno, or Orelvis Martinez....or worse both a catcher and Martinez?? Or would it be better to try and sign Simmons or Gregorius without giving up any prospect capital and wait for Groshans/Martin and Orelvis to develop? Neither of those guys move the needle as much as Lindor would obviously, but they would still improve the team defense while adding roughly a league average bat for a lesser cost.

    Do we really think Merryweather can be stretched out still? The guy pitched 0 innings in 2018, 6 innings in 2019 and only managed 13 innings this year before heading back to the IL yet again.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    I don't see him on Blue Jays Roster Resource but every where else I look it says he's still with the org. I would have thought they'd keep him around and bring him back after his TJS. He was looking like a pretty good lefty reliever with control until 2025.

    What's the word on Tim Mayza's recovery from his surgery last year? He should factor into the bullpen next year as a lefty that can miss bats.
