I think I just pee'd a little, I'd love to get him, Mr. Consistency himself.

I'll leave this right here... 3. Shane Bieber, RHP Projected Contract: 5 years, $150M There’s an argument to be made that Bieber is the best available starting pitcher in this year’s class. He doesn’t possess the top-shelf stuff quality of Valdez and Cease, but his on-field performance has perhaps more upside than either. The key metric for Bieber is fastball velocity. During the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Bieber’s velocity dipped to 91.3 mph, and his strikeout rate plummeted. Coming back from surgery this season, Bieber proved that his velocity was almost all the way back to where it was when he started his career, averaging 92.6 mph. With a full, healthy offseason, he very likely could look like the pitcher he was in 2019-2021—a dominant strikeout artist and Cy Young Award winner. That’s the optimistic scenario in which Bieber fully recaptures his velocity and challenges for Cy Youngs. In the pessimistic scenario, in which Bieber’s velocity returns to 2022-2023 levels, you get a pitcher with 3.25 ERA, which is right in line with his career ERA of 3.24—better than either of the two pitchers listed before him. Bieber likely won’t get the biggest contract this offseason, but his combination of floor and ceiling is unmatched in this free agent class.

I think so, with the no CBA deal yet, maybe it craters the market. Hmm...

💯

And 4M of that contract was a sunk cost on the buyout, they essentially got him for 12M, this blows my mind.

BA's write up of Mr. Woodruff... 6. Brandon Woodruff, RHP Projected Contract: 1 Year, $27.5M If we could successfully petition the baseball gods to turn injuries off, Woodruff would be at the very top of this list. Since he became a full-time starter in 2019, Woodruff’s 2.96 ERA is the fifth-best among starting pitchers in baseball. He’s 11th by FIP, 15th by xFIP and 10th by SIERA. No matter how you slice it, when Woodruff has been on the mound, he’s been one of the very best starters in the league. However, Woodruff has never thrown 180 innings in a season and really struggled to stay healthy this year after missing all of 2024 with a shoulder injury. Tyler Glasnow had never thrown more than 120 innings in a season, yet the Dodgers gave him five years and $136 million. Woodruff may want to bet on himself and sign a one-year deal in hopes he can pull a Blake Snell and come out on the other side with a huge contract.

Bieber >>> Bassitt that's too high for a 37 year old junk-baller, I'm even okay with him signing but I'd rather your suggestion of Woodruff over Bassitt at the moment. Jays saved a lot of money with Shane opting in. 1/25 for Woodruff, lets go.

He's going to rehab and come back in '27, that surprised me, dude's 39.

Yeah, that's worded wrong.

We'll see about massive hit, but he's jumped this past season overall, so in saying that, it's kind of a stretch.

I'd take that contract for Bo in a minute, Bassitt, Seranthony and Max are far too high.

It's better than league average?

I already posted my apology above, bub. It doesn't make you any less a gluebag huffer... when YOU think he'd accepted that do to performance.

Found Gold.

Likely that, and he really likes it here. I'm shocked, great news.

Okay, I'll apologize, but I assure you, Shane did this for the team, not his game 7 performance, 🤪

Off season already off to a banger, baby... welcome back Shane.

Holy F*ck... well, aren't I the horses ass, did not see this coming he must really like this team, that's great news.

aSsOmEhAvEsUgGeStEdwtfbbq??? The passive aggressive book is out in full force. Both of you guys said a proper sell high of Lukes for a reliever in your posts, lol... 🙄

Dude?

You mean the one that he barrelled up at 100.5 MPH with an expected batting average of .470 lol... there's a reason he swung at it, he saw it well and crushed it, s*** happens. If Hoff gets Rojas out in the top half the Jays win.

F*ck... Green Bay’s Tucker Kraft seemingly was on his way to putting together one of the most prolific seasons by any tight end in Packers history. Now he’s done for the season before the halfway mark. Kraft tore his anterior cruciate ligament during the third quarter of Green Bay’s 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers and will miss the rest of the season. The news came Monday on Kraft’s 25th birthday.

I've read a few people suggest Bieber taking the 16M option? Y'all huffing glue man. 🥴

Agree with all this.
