    No kidding, and how much would you really get for him anyways? The only way I'd trade Romano right now is if I was able to sign Hader first.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    I agree. It annoys me to no end that they are going to play a perfectly fine 3B in LF because they already have short stops playing at SS, 3B and 2B. And then they go and sign Candelario to play 1B lol
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    Under. Definitely under. So far he's averaged 96 IP per season over 5 MLB seasons, and those were his prime aged 25-30 years. No way he averages higher than that from ages 30-40, especially since the first season will be 0 IP.

    lol Bellinger and Chapman are the top two position player FA's left on the board and will cost more that $350 million probably. Plus adding a DH. You'll be lucky to get that, never mind more.

    Enjoy LA or New York Sasaki

    DH - JD Martinez / Hoskins / Belt (sign 1 of these) 1B - Vlad 2B - Biggio / Schneider 3B - Chapman SS - Bo LF - Bellinger CF - Varsho LF - Springer C - Kirk / Jansen Espinal, Lukes also on the bench

    I've given up on the hope of Yamamoto. With the Yanks and Mets going all out for him I have no faith in the Jays sneaking in there. Best option on paper I guess would be to go all in on Belly and Chappy but I can see that turning into a disaster. However, with the pitching staff we have it might work out alright. Especially if we get any bounce back from Vladdy, Kirk and Springer. Just riddle the diamond with 2-4 fWAR players and have a top 5 pitching staff.
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    How worried are we about the D if we lose KK and Chappy, and how much will that drag the pitching down? Hard to say I guess, but it's definitely a concern in my eyes.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Would be scary as hell haha
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Assuming the Jays can't snag Yamamoto, are we content going into the season with: 1. Gausman 2. Berrios 3. Bassitt 4. Kikuchi 5. Manoah 6. Tiedemann 7. White As the starting pitching depth? I mean, the top 4 were all good to great last year, and have a track record of durability. #5 is one season removed from Cy Young contention #6 is one of the top 2 or 3 starting pitching prospects in all of MiLB #7 appeared to figure his s*** out late last season in AAA and was demolishing batters It's not bad depth really.

    Josh Donaldson is 38 years old and had 0 fWAR last season. wRC+ of 78. He's cooked. I don't understand this obsession with him at all. Just be glad he hit his steep decline as soon as he became a Yankee.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder how badly the Guardians will want to cut payroll? Currently sitting an an estimated $132,000,000 luxury tax payroll. Probably stupid to even hope for this on any level, but if the Jays could somehow pry Ramirez out of there that would be super dooper.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    They're not going to rebuild when they've got one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. I can see them retooling next off season by trading Bo and Vlad with 1 year of control left.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays had the 5th best pitching staff by fWAR in MLB last season, and didn't lose anyone from it but Ryu and Hicks who were both late season additions anyways. If you've got pitching, you've got a chance. Oh, and the off season is far from over lol
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Getting in shape won't keep Vlad and his peanut brain from getting picked off 2nd base (when he's not even the lead runner) to end the season lol
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    That's great and all, and yeah hopefully they have a resurgence...it will lead to the team being good (which is the most important thing to me as a Jays fan) but it will also increase their collective trade values so they can hopefully be traded. IMO it will end up a huge mistake to try and build your team around players who struggle this hard to find the dedication to stay in any semblance of shape even bbefore they have cashed in on big contracts. If they can't do it now, what is going to happen when they all have huge contracts? They will probably balloon up for good.

    I just read that Robert Herjavec is also affiliated with CAA. The same agency that represents Ohtani. Haha Call me crazy but it sure seems like that whole fiasco on Friday was stirred up by Ohtani's reps to get the Dodgers to throw another huge offer in. Quite the coincidence that they'd send the guy from Anaheim to Toronto on a plane that Ohtani flies on, and of course it "somehow" gets out there that Ohtani is the one on the plane, and of course some Dodgers media people get fed info that Ohtani has chosen the jays at the same time that a jet Ohtani usually flies on is going from Anaheim to Toronto. And then just like that, the next day Ohtani signs for $700 million with the Dodgers. lol https://www.caa.com/caaspeakers/robert-herjavec
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    That is... certainly a wall of text
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Yes, both can be true. The Dodgers were probably Ohtani's "preferred destination" and also the highest bidders. But the reason they had to go so high was because the Jays were in there being leveraged by Ohtani's reps.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Yes, but in order to get the Dodgers to bid higher he needs another team in the mix trying to outbid them, which is what the Jays were obviously doing. I think Ohtani preferred the Dodgers, but I also think he was prepared to go to Toronto if they were offering more....to a certain point. $700 million was enough for him to just accept the offer on stay in LA.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    This is what I think, they didn't get a chance to match. $700 million was enough for Ohtani to decide to play where he wanted to play to begin with. I think he was fully ready to go Toronto if it came to that, but the Dodgers ponied up and so he went where he really wanted to go.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    I still wonder about the "leak" to Hoornstra and Dodgers Nation. I think it's possible Ohtani was leaning towards the Jays, the Dodgers knew this and leaked that they were out and Ohtani had picked the Jays. Then amidst the fan/media/twitter s*** storm they went back to Ohtani with their over the top offer and he took it because while he would have been just fine going to Toronto, ultimately it was the Dodgers he really wanted to play for. I mean just about every Tom, Dick and f***ing Harry out there bought into it and had Ohtani becoming a Jay a forgone conslusion after that leak, combined with the goddamn private jet tracking, etc lol It's possible even the Jays FO relaxed a little bit thinking they may have just accomplished landing the biggest FA in baseball history, and were just waiting for Ohtani's reps to reach out, meanwhile the Dodgers were upping their offer to $700 million and hooking the prize.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Pretty much whatever the Jays end up doing now is going to feel pretty underwhelming after thinking they had Ohtani yesterday lol Yamamoto would be great but I have zero confidence in him picking the Jays, especially with that f***tard Cohen going after him Lee would also be nice but none of these high profile Japanese or Korean dudes ever seem to pick the Jays when they come over All the rest of the FA's don't seem like they'll move the needle or be worth the god awful contracts they end up signing
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    I just did this in the other thread, but I added Orelvis and Zulueta to Manoah. Value is dead even on Baseball Trade Values FWIW
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays only have 37 guys on the 40 man right now. 5 in 3 out +2 39 on 40 man after this
