  1. Danny Jansen is signing with the Rays
  2. Here's how Fangraphs Depth Charts WAR projections currently projects the Jays by position: Total: 40.2 fWAR (8th in AL) Position players: 28.5 fWAR (4th in AL) SP: 10.6 fWAR (12th in AL) RP: 1.1 fWAR (13th in AL) Position player breakdown: C: 4.8 fWAR (3rd in AL) 1B: 4.7 fWAR (1st in AL) 2B: 3.4 fWAR (4th in AL) SS: 3.8 fWAR (6th in AL) 3B: 3.2 fWAR (6th in AL) LF: 1.3 fWAR (15th in AL) CF: 3.2 fWAR (6th in AL) RF: 2 fWAR (11th in AL) DH: 2 fWAR (4th in AL) Starters and relievers combine to project to be 4th worst in the American League, so I'm not sure the pitching staff holes can be left unplugged. Might be better to leave the hole in LF unplugged if need be, as the position player group already projects to be 4th best in the American League. Or just leave bullpen holes unplugged because big dollars shouldn't be spent there anyway.
  3. Luis Severino is signing for the largest guarantee in the history of the Athletics franchise.
  4. Soto and Vlad were photoshopped so they're all wearing Red Sox uniforms in the post, not Blue Jays uniforms.
  5. I checked and it's real. Vladdy liked this post on Instagram.
  6. Francys Romero says the Padres are the favourites to sign Roki Sasaki.
  7. Aroldis Chapman is signing with the Red Sox
  8. BA ranked Sasaki's 7 most likely landing spots. 1. LA Dodgers 2. San Diego Padres 3. Texas Rangers 4. New York Mets 5. New York Yankees 6. Baltimore Orioles 7. Boston Red Sox
  9. Anyone remember this guy from when Gerrit Cole was a free agent?
  10. Kikuchi to the Angels 63/3
  11. Rays announced their temporary home for 2025.
  12. Jays hire Marc Tramuta as their new scouting director.
  13. A's GM says they're keeping Rooker.
  14. Full QO List
  15. Fangraphs, Cots and Spotrac all updated their payroll projections recently, factoring in pre-arb and arb salary estimates now. If the Jays opening day CBT payroll in 2025 is the same as 2023 and 2024 at around $250 million, here's how much the Jays should have to spend in the offseason according to each site: Fangraphs: $37 million (https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/payroll/blue-jays?season=2025) Cots: $46 million (https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/al-east/toronto-blue-jays/) Spotrac: $45 million (https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/overview/_/year/2025)
  16. Reds are hiring Terry Francona to be their next manager.
  17. Shapiro was seemingly unhappy with Ben Nicholson-Smith's article exposing his draft record.
  18. I keep seeing 3 names getting brought up as possible non-tenders: Pop, Tate and Romano. The last 2 seasons the opening day CBT payroll has been the same which is 250M. The Soto budget is probably higher than that, but hard to guess how much higher. Last year with Ohtani some speculated the Ohtani budget was double the regular budget, while others speculated they would spend over budget equal to his AAV amount.
  19. The 60M total amount this group projects to make added to the 135M the Jays have committed pre-arb means if opening day payroll is similar to last season the Jays should have around 55M to spend in the offseason.
  20. More firings on the big club coaching staff. Ben Nicholson-Smith and Arden Zwelling had previously reported on the At The Letters podcast they heard Jeff Ware was involved in the search to find Cory Popham's replacement along with Pete Walker. The Ware firing will likely be framed as a surprise firing.
  21. Shapiro and Atkins meeting with the media together on Wednesday.
  22. I think Horwitz is more likely to be the DH next season than 1B. Jays will probably do a Wagner platoon at 2B, Horwitz platoon at DH, Bo at SS, make the best 1B or 3B free agent/trade acquisition available to them, and Vladdy plays the other position.
