    Doesn't he have a no trade clause? If so he'd have to agree to it which wouldn't be bush.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    I'm at the point where if they sign Bellinger and Chapman to the big deals, so be it. Might hurt down the road, but the team should be pretty good for next season, especially if Vladdy/Kirk/Springer have any sort of bounce back.
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    You don't have to vomit every single thought you have onto this forum lol The Jays aren't going to sign that many guys and then go trade for those players on top of it. That's 7 players you think they can sign? If they sign Chappy and Bellinger they go out and sign a DH and maybe a depth starter/reliever and that's it. No need for Whit, IKF, Votto, Winker, Adames and Parades if they just signed Chappy and Belly north of $300 million total.

    It's not good for baseball though. They really should just have teams in NY or LA or Chicago. That way the best players don't have to go to some insufferable locale....like Toronto for instance.

    Wasn't it reported earlier that Snell is most likely going to his home town Mariners?
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Yep, totally agree. Baseball IQ of a peanut.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    I kind of agree. Sign Belly, Chappy and a DH and let's EFFFing go... It ain't my money lol

    They've won 100+ games in 6/7 years and haven't won less than 91 games in the last 11 seasons, 11 straight playoff years too. Only 1 WS though.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Honestly, the biggest bat the Jays can add is to have Vladdy resurrect his career and put up another 6 fWAR season.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    No kidding. They "take a step back" and still win 100 games, then the next off season add a 3rd MVP to their line up and a pitcher good enough to be an ace (when healthy). Probably not done either. I bet Yamamoto signs with them too.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    What would you rather the Jays do: 1. Aroldis Chapman for 1 x $10m 2. Jordan Hicks for 3 x $40m 3. Josh Hader for 4 x $80m 4. None of the above I like our bullpen and it's depth, there are much bigger holes to fill right now. But damn I love the thought of a potential super bullpen like Hader, Romano, Green, Mayza, Swanson locking s*** down in late innings.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder if they'll get Yamamoto too?
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Looks like it's done
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Pretty sure it's the salary that counts against the luxury tax payroll, not the AAV
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    OK, now I want Bellinger on the Jays again.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Yelich, Burnes, Adames (4.1 trade value) for Manoah (11.8 trade value)
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Then move Bo, or put Adames at 3B?
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
