    That's awesome to read. It'd be nice to start piling up ace SPs in their prime. I know it's unlikely, but it'd be incredible to land Skubal as a free agent (he's probably forever a Dodger now, if he wasn't going to be already) but you never know, the FO sold Cease on their vision for him. Imagine going into the next season (whenever it starts) with Cease, Skubal, Soriano and Yesavage as your top 4 guys.

    Also, I wonder what the plan is for Taillon now? The guy has been awful this year and then they added Soriano. They also added Arrighetti, although he is currently on the 15 day IL. Cease Sherzer Bieber Yesavage Soriano Plus Arrighetti at some point. No need for Taillon now.

    You have to think the Jays are going bring Bateman up sooner rather than later no?
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha I just refreshed myself with the Jays schedule for the next ~3 weeks. Yikes
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    They also added SP Josh Stephan in the Macko deal, did they not?
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Hopefully Little has figured things out. He has the stuff to be an absolute dominant lefty reliever. Might get a Brett Cecil like stretch out of him for a couple seasons if we're lucky. Biebs bent but didn't break. I'm actually kind of hoping they extend him at some point. I don't think he's cooked and he seems to love being a Blue jay.

    With the trades today, I don't think the Jays have thrown in the towel on the season so I'm not surprised they held onto Springer. He's been the hottest hitter the last month and they need someone to spark this offense because the pitching is more than good enough to put a solid late season run together. Especially since they kept Scherzer and Bieber who have had tough years obviously, but are more than capable of putting it all together for the last two months. I am surprised they weakened the bullpen by trading Hoffman, but Miles is now in the pen and Little has looked better recently.

    Pena slap hitting MIF Hill looks intereting. 20 year old starter already in A+ and has swing and miss for days. I get Hoffman has a Stigma with Jays fans, but not a huge fan of trading him. Decent enough return though I guess
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Hill a 20 year LH starter with a 15.4 K/9 in high A haha Also a 7.4 BB/9 though

    Varsho will probably have 1 HR, 2 doubles and 5 RBI tonight. Ex-Jays love to destroy us.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    Think so? I can't see it. He's basically been the Jays 4th or 5th best pitcher all season. If he doesn't start in the rotation he's probably the long man out of the pen.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Starting to wonder if they just hold on to Springer. He's been the hottest hitter for the last month, and I doubt the returns they are being offered are moving any sort of needle. Varsho as well, given that they can just QO him. Essentially swapped out Gausman for Soriano, that's basically a slight upgrade this season and potentially a bigger upgrade the next two seasons.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Miles in the mix too, and should be ready to ramp up his innings more next season.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    We'll see what happens the rest of the day, but if the Jays damn bats can get going (especially Vlad) this team could still go on a crazy run. Added Soriano, Bieber had a few starts where he looked like he was back, Scherzer might be healthy and just had a solid 6 IP start, Miles now in the pen to go with the three headed monster (Hoff, Varland, Rogers). Little even looked decent in his last three appearances. Just a little bit of a hot streak from the offense and they might go on a tear here.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Maybe Little is figuring things out? Last three appearances 4IP, 13.5 K/9, 2.25 BB/9, 2.25 ERA, 1.61 xFIP He's a cheap, controllable lefty reliever with elite swing and miss. Hopefully he comes around. The Jays also have lefty Javen Coleman in AAA now, and he has potential.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    What the hell do the Dodgers need with another starter? Are Snell and/or Glasnow not coming back from injury this season?
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha, yep. I'm still in the keep Hoffman camp. Good to give Gausman a shot at winning again, he deserves it. If he wasn't a pending FA I'd have wanted to keep him too.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    It's also doing Gausman a solid. The return was never going to be very good, but give Gaus another shot at pitching in the playoffs and maybe winning a WS, rather than holding onto him and letting him rot here with the rest of them.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    When the healthy the Dodgers 4-8 starting pitchers are better than 90% of the rest of the teams 1-5 starting pitchers. And then their 1-3 are Yamamoto, Skubal, Ohtani.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    I'm saying Keep Varland, Rogers and Hoffman, and try to build an elite shut down BP around them. It might not work, but I have more faith in that being a success than I would have faith in any return Rogers or Hoffman fetching becoming anything substantial.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Time to move JoJo up to High A for the rest of the season maybe?
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    When you consider how uninspiring the return for Hoffman would likely be, I'd rather hang onto him. The Jays will still be trying to compete next year and he is 1/3rd of what has become a pretty deadly late inning trio for them in the bullpen. He's 15th in overall reliever fWAR in all of MLB. If you include Miles as a reliever the Jays have 4 guys in the top 25 reliever fWAR, but Miles is likely a starter next season. If they can dig up another high leverage reliever or two they could have one hell of a shut down bullpen next season.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, the only thing you have to fall back on is what this team was able to do last year without Cease, Okamoto or Varland as the closer. Seems like a million years ago now though. All the main characters from last season just not getting it done.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Only need 39-13 to get to 90 wins.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Relievers are mostly volatile voodoo so if the offer was juicy you certainly think about it, but I kind of want the Jays to run it back with this bullpen. (and finish the season with it) With Hoffman going they have just a deadly trio going now on the back end of it.
