Holy.

Not to mention the staff and resources from BA to Fangraphs isn't particularly close, and the MLB uses Baseball America and Pipeline rankings in conjunction with awarding teams compensation when called upon.

Jimmyc the Bill James of concrete... 😜

Baseball America has the Jays with 6 players at 60FV, 2 at 55FV and 1 50FV in their top 10, just sayin'. You just named off 3 60's and a 55, that's too much I believe.

Point being he's years away from being an impact player, if at all.

Who just finished a season in A ball, lol?

You're a bird, correct.

*sighs*

lol... Varsho just put up 2.2 WAR in 270 PA's, you sure you want Ernie playing CF over him, or for the ongoing days of this franchise? Again, this isn't a video game, Clement brings massive value as a super utility player. Please stop.

To each their own I guess, this isn't a video game man.

So your answer is play Clement in CF, a position he hasn't played since a fill in in College? There's a need to extend Varsho, period.

Stay calm, they aren't getting dealt unless it's ridiculous value.

I find it hard to believe any contending team want's Bo in the 6 hole, he won't chase that money, it'll be 2nd base for a contender that matches, welcome back Kid. A consummate professional. 7/189 is my guess and a stud stopper, Edwin Diaz, f*** Tucker. That's a sick Org. Just sayin'

lulz... no thanks.

No thanks, man. You keep saying this but there's no need.

MLBTR Podcast on the Cease signing etc... taped prior to the addition of Ponce @ the 40 minute mark... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/mlbtr-podcast-an-agents-perspective-with-b-b-abbott-also-cease-williams-helsley-and-gray.html

Lots of scuttlebutt going on in here, lol. I'm fine with Boss Atkins to Git R Done!

So, find a dummy, lol.

Also, Geoff Pontes thinks the Jays will select this dude, ala Bastardo last season's rule 5, and rehab the kid... Yordanny Monegro, RHP, Red Sox Every year at the 40-man deadline, there’s a talented pitcher who goes unprotected due to injury. This season, that pitcher might just be Monegro. Teams are able to stash players on the long-term injured list for an entire season, delaying their need to keep a player selected in the Rule 5 on the active roster. That’s key for Monegro, as he had Tommy John surgery in late August 2025 and will miss all of 2026. Prior to his injury, Monegro had been superb over eight starts with Double-A Portland, pitching to a 2.34 FIP and 2.67 ERA with a 57% groundball rate, 35.8% strikeout rate and 5.8% walk rate. Had it not been for the injury, there’s a case to be made that Monegro might have pitched himself to the majors by the end of 2025. His combination of swing-and-miss stuff, command and the ability to generate a high rate of groundball outs makes him a virtual lock on performance alone. Factoring in his injury timeline, it would be surprising not to see Monegro picked. He has plus stuff with a plus slider and curveball that he mixes with a sinker, a four-seam fastball and a changeup.

We were talking about this in several threads dude, they also didn't protect Rojas or Arias as well. Risky business... Yondrej was on the top list as well, I don't think he'll get selected though... Yondrei Rojas, RHP, Blue Jays The undersized Rojas enjoyed a breakout 2025 campaign, as he reached Double-A after spending parts of three seasons in Low-A. He has only 14 innings of upper-minors experience, but the results were excellent, as he allowed just one run while holding batters to a .111 batting average against. His 38.3% strikeout rate in High-A to begin the season did plummet to 21.6% in Double-A, but his whiff rate stayed fairly stagnant. Rojas checks several boxes typical of Rule 5 picks, including generating ground balls at a rate of 53.5% with a K-BB mark of 24.8%. He mixes five pitches in a cut-ride four-seam fastball, a sinker, slider, changeup and sweeper. His primary pitch is the cut four-seam fastball, which sits 95-97 mph and touches 98 at peak. It features ride and moderate cut from a five-and-a-half foot release height with flat plane and plus extension for his 5-foot-10 frame. Rojas’ primary breaking ball is his upper-80s cutter that generates solid miss rates. The changeup and sweeper are near antipodes of each other, with each moving a foot opposite of the other. Rojas throws lots of strikes, has power and unique release traits. His lack of upper-minors experience, however, might prevent him from being selected.

I still think the Jays should've protected Pinango, man... it would suck to lose him to be honest. BA has him as a Rule 5 Target... Yohendrick Piñango, OF, Blue Jays Piñango is one of the best available hitters in the Rule 5 draft. He has an excellent combination of solid upper-level production—.258/.361/.430 with 14 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A—with nearly impeccable analytical data. He hits the ball as hard as almost anyone in the minors—92 mph average EV and a 109 mph 90th EV—and he does it with well-above-average contact rates and solid swing decisions. Piñango is a left fielder only, and he’s a fringy defender there. That’s a profile that doesn’t get picked all that often, but there are few 23-year-old lefthanded hitters like this in the Rule 5 draft.

Robert Murray as the source, noice.

Where does his salary show it's 7M? I can't find it at all on twitter, just the 1 year deal, that would be less money than what we're paying Straw, lol.
