    His Fangraphs WAR is 2.1. Jansen compiled 25% more WAR in 55% fewer PAs. It is not even close. You don't let other GMs rape you in trades just because you need an OF. Grisham is someone you get for a meh prospect. Trade Kirk for Alek Thomas + a prospect. At least Thomas is 22 and has a decent chance to be good based on his minor league numbers. Also, Kirk is very spherical.
  2. Captain_Obvious
    Your obsession with Kirk makes sense now.
  3. Captain_Obvious
    Danny Jansen so good his Junk is a major league pitcher.
  4. Captain_Obvious
    I agree. Let's trade Kirk for fair return. Problem solved and case closed.
  5. Captain_Obvious
    It balances out that he is not Toronto's GM. He would have traded Toronto's best player - Danny Jansen - for a rich man's Tapia.

    Ohtani was a possibility as well. I remember reading the FO made a pitch presentation to him.
  7. Captain_Obvious
    At this point, this is irrational hate for the Blue Jays best player, Danny Jansen. What happened between him and your wife?
  8. Captain_Obvious
    Arizona is better positioning their team for Moreno's arrival and Carroll's departure.
  9. Captain_Obvious
    By that logic, it makes no sense from the pirates perspective then.
  10. Captain_Obvious
    Why do the trade then? Just have Moreno switch positions here.
  11. Captain_Obvious
    +1 Pirates is not a good trade fit. It does not matter how much you like their players. Endy Rodriguez is a god damn monster.

    Why do people hate Nootbaar? I am the biggest Jansen fan and I think getting Nootbaar would be good value back. I realize that Nootbaar does not have a long history of elite performance, but if he did then he would not even be available. He was really good in 2022. His statcast numbers are very good as well. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/lars-nootbaar-663457?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb What not to like about: 1- Left-handed decent defensive OF 2- Walks 15% (!) of the time 3- Hits the ball very hard when he connects. 4- Pretty good base-runner. 5- 25 years old with 4 (or 5?) years of control. 6- Extrapolating his 2022 WAR and HRs to 550 PA results in 4.3 WAR and 22 HRs. I love Jansen and I think he is the better player, but Nootbaar is a pretty awesome return given his years of control. The trade will likely improve the team immediately as well.

    Just doing my job.

    I am pretty sure everyone is assuming another move will follow to get a true CF who can exceed Teo's value. If this does not happen, then the trade is terrible in terms of improving the 2023 team despite being fair overall.
  15. Captain_Obvious
    I will cover peterkim. I trade Teo for Alcantra obviously. Alcantra can't even hit 2 HRs.
  16. Captain_Obvious
    2022 is closer to his true performance level you dumbass. 2021 was the outlier. He has huge swing and miss issues. So yea.. let's f***ing trade the catcher who has been the best hitter on the team since June 2021 for f***ing "rich man's Tapia".
  17. Captain_Obvious
    Pittsburgh does NOT need a catcher. They have top catching prospects very close to the majors.
  18. Captain_Obvious
    Yea let's evaluate O'Neill based on a career year a couple of years ago, not on his most recent s*** performance where he barely out slugged f***ing Tapia. Let's buy high when his actually performance is low. Brilliant idea.
  19. Captain_Obvious
    Yea. baseballtradevalues is the ultimate source of accurate evaluation of trade. After all, Pearson has 0 trade value. And Varsho is worth 2 Morenos.
  20. Captain_Obvious
    Oh. I thought it was just 1 year.
  21. Captain_Obvious
    They saved $10M in 2023. Why do you think it is $5M?
  22. Captain_Obvious
    LOL. Jansen is at least 3 times more valuable than Teo. If they are trading Jansen, it is for good OF like Nootbar.
  23. Captain_Obvious
    Yea. Atkins will go with the flashy moves. Moreno for Carroll. Then sign Rondon using the savings from Teo.
  24. Captain_Obvious
    Pittsburgh has no need for catcher. They have studs knocking on the door: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/endy-rodriguez/sa3008272/stats?position=C
  25. Captain_Obvious
    I don't hate it. If we're trading Jansen, this is the type of return we should aim for.
