Financially, payroll man, and what don't you get about a decade?

Go Leafs Go!

I'd probably trade Burns for that kid.(Get at me JG34)

Didn't think Wheeler would be this good, but Scheifele's a stud!

Shi Davidi and Stephen Brunt killed it on Tim and Sid, basically "be careful what you wish for, Rogers are one of the best ownerships in MLB for the past decade" Amen. Who doesn't want a little more to spend, but we could be far worst. Labatt's stepped up in the late 80's early 90's as have this ownership. Anything could've happened when we made the post-season, in '15/16.

I lol'd... pretty funny!

It was a joke ol' boy, I'm sure Geddy's a Stroman fan. #betweenthelines

Yup, thread's off the charts! lol

Gold Jerry, Gold!

He still won't admit to it.

Ohtani's finished with his in team interviews and Stanton will decide on the SF offer by the end of the week, kicks off the Winter Meetings in style, sweet, stove should get hot.

Is he broke, is that what this's about? Duquette said he'd give him a shot, lol.

Stroman doesn't like him, though!

This is something you'd expect to read from the Onion. Rafael Palmeiro Seeks To Defy Odds With MLB Comeback By Jeff Todd | December 6, 2017 at 11:06am CDT Former MLB star Rafael Palmeiro, who left the game in disgrace after testing positive for steroids back in 2005, tells Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that he is seriously contemplating an effort to return to the majors. Of course, there are quite a few barriers for the left-handed-hitting first baseman, who is a dozen years removed from his playing days and is now 53 years of age.

Rogers Communications Considering Sale Of Blue Jays By Jeff Todd | December 6, 2017 at 8:18am CDT Rogers Communications, the Canadian telecommunications company that owns the Toronto Blue Jays, is considering a possible sale of the team, as Natalie Wong of Bloomberg writes. At this point, it seems the potential move is merely in the conceptual stage. Rogers CFO Tony Staffieri suggests that the entity is pondering the sale in order to raise funds for other initiatives. Other significant Rogers investments are also under consideration for sale, so it seems the broader strategic considerations are driving the company more than any particular consideration tied to the ballclub. That said, there’s little doubt that Rogers is also aware of the potential to lock in a massive gain on its initial purchase of the Jays. Back in 2000, an eighty percent stake cost just $112MM. Given that a struggling Marlins franchise just went for $1.2B, it stands to reason that Canada’s only MLB team — a marketing juggernaut with excellent attendance figures even in losing seasons and robust profitability in winning campaigns — would fetch quite a bit more. Clearly, there’s little reason to think that any sale effort is imminent, let alone a deal itself. But it’s plenty significant that ownership has floated the idea, since that’ll surely function as an initial gauge on market interest and value. In the meantime, it’s naturally fair to wonder how the higher-level business maneuverings might trickle down to the baseball operations. Perhaps the likeliest scenario, though, is to anticipate a continuation of the recent past. Even in the Marlins’ situation, the club waited to make major changes in the lead-up to the sale. Here, there’s good cause to think the Jays will continue their trajectory of attempting to contend while also being notably mindful of maintaining future financial flexibility and building up their farm.

I've already done that.

Livan Soto signed with the Angels for 850,000... seems as though the Yankees will sign Severino and Martinez at some point.

Brossoit is owned, bro.

lulz

Talk to me in late May...

Have you watched video on this guy Abom? 2 fWAR is pretty light.

San Fran, buddy, lol.

Wasn't it MLSE? That was quite a while back, though.

Interesting, there's still some decent guys still available, so Kevin Maitan @ 2.2 to the Angels, Yefri Del Rosario to the Royals for 650,000 and Abraham/n? Guttierez to Phillies for 550,000... there's still decent targets in Ji-Hwan Bae, Yunior Severino, Juan Contreras, Yenci Pena, Guillermo Zuniga, Livan Soto, etc... You know what Cuban OF Julio Pablo Martinez is asking?

Yeah, thought they'd have signed Maitan. Twins have a lot as well, as do the Rangers and Pirates, off the top of my head.
