  1. Looks like it's done
  2. Yeah I went and looked at that today. They'd literally have to give him away and eat a huge chunk of that contract, which they'll never do, so yeah....an Angel for life.
  3. The contracts are no doubt risky, but signing Bellinger, Chapman and JD Martinez is probably the absolute best the Jays could do as far as FA's go. Probably the most formidable line up they could put together at the moment without doing it via trades. LF - Springer SS - Bichette 1B - Guerrero RF - Bellinger DH - Martinez 3B - Chapman C - Kirk / Jansen 2B - Biggio/ Schneider / Espinal CF - Varsho One more for the bench out of Lukes, Clement, Horwitz, etc Probably not much money left after that to sign anything more than maybe some depth pitching, but the staff is pretty solid on paper as is.
  4. This is why I like the idea of taking Yelich from them while grabbing a few other things. They are cheap and Adames and Burnes are both a year away from FA. Manoah for Yelich, Burnes, Adames. Toss in a couple low value, near MLB ready pieces from our 40 man like Jiminez, Zulu maybe... Just need a capable DH after that.
  5. Pretty sure it's the salary that counts against the luxury tax payroll, not the AAV
  6. OK, now I want Bellinger on the Jays again.
  7. Man, Mike Trout cannot be worth much in a trade. He's gotta be worth way more to the Angels than they'd ever get in a return unless they ate a f***ton of that contract. Hard to believe he's already 32 years old. $35.5 million AAV and he's averaged 3.7 fWAR the last three seasons...well basically three "half seasons" because he is always injured now.
  8. You realize the 40 man roster includes the MLB roster right? The MLB roster that won 89 games last season? Not many "minor league teams" win 89 games in the major leagues you f***ing nitwit. f***ing amazing that people without even two brain cells to rub together can muster the ability to log on here.
  9. Yelich, Burnes, Adames (4.1 trade value) for Manoah (11.8 trade value)
  10. Then move Bo, or put Adames at 3B?
  11. He has negative value. Even if they ate some of his contract you could probably get him for a couple low level lottery tickets or 40 FV schlubs from the 40 man, is my guess. But the Jays could use a 4 WAR LFer though, so I wouldn't be opposed to getting him.
  12. I love the make believe narrative you like to spout about how the GM of a team that's averaged 90 wins per season the last 3 years and made the playoffs 3/4 years in the toughest division in MLB is somehow "fighting for his job" lol Here comes the "0 playoff wins" retort, I'm ready.
  13. Springer had a steadier track record than Bellinger up to free agency, but counter point Bellinger is 3 years younger than George was and also has an MVP under his belt. 24.5 fWAR for Springer up to free agency, in 7 season. 21.6 fWAR for Bellinger up to free agency, in 7 seasons.
  14. What if Bellinger sucks? Would it still be a good off season? I'm sure you'd be one of the first to be looking to hang Atkins for signing him to a $200 million contract if he ends up as a 2-3 WAR player going forward.
  15. WTF? They've been in on every big name out there so far. You can lead a horse to water, you can't make the f***er drink.
  16. Yeah, the general fan base would flip out for sure lol
  17. Gimme: Brantley 1 x 10 Martinez 1 x 12 Urshela 1 x 8 Montas 1 x 8 Hicks 3 x 9
  18. Looking at Profar on fangraphs, he's really got this good year/bad year thing going on, and last year was a bad year. Might be a decent training camp invite on MiLB deal? -2.0 fWAR last year, probably not getting an MLB deal?
  19. Haha, I'm the same. I keep telling myself what he was last year is what we need, and what he'll be going forward. I also tell myself that his down years were more a reflection of his shoulder injury and COVID than him being a phony. Jays seem to be after him, hopefully they know what the EFF they're doing.
  20. Zips has the Jays projected for what..86 wins right now? Probably still going to add a LF, 3B and DH. Chapman, Bellinger and Martinez would add about 7 wins to the projections
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Enjoy LA or New York Sasaki
