They've been a fairly nondescript franchise since those World Series - - at least they are doing something to try to change that. The Rangers are in the mix for Trevor Story also. They have next to nothing. Adolis Garcia, who's a carbon copy of the departed Joey Gallo, home run or strikeout, no in between. Their SS last year was Isiah Kiner-Falefa, decent player but I guess he can play 2nd. They're in a division that can be competitive. The Angels need pitching but constantly refuse to pay for it. Oakland is reportedly i fire sale mode. Seattle is kind of in limbo. Houston is still the big dog but their days might be numbered. The Rangers might be smart, looking to a slow but sure rebuild.

Gausman 4.00 ERA will be fine with the Jays offense.

Gausman 4.00 ERA will be fine with the Jays offense. 2.81 ERA last season. He had a great season just like Robbie Ray. Hope Ray is signed next.

Per Jon Heyman -
'While Mets have already checked out and approved of Max Scherzer’s medicals (and other teams may have too), Mets remain in wait mode on their top target.'
Meanwhile I've got the typical dopes down here crying that we're cheap when we're at the top of the league in payroll every year
Patience grasshoppers.
Patience.
Superstars will be arriving shortly.....

Per various sources, a Mighty Max and Mets union appears imminent. The rumor mill is churning out things like 3 years/$120m and even 4/$160m. Egad, that's a lot of scratch, but hey, for one of the game's best pitchers of all time who is still going strong, I'll take it.
Don't fuck this up....don't fuck this up....

Gausman 4.00 ERA will be fine with the Jays offense. 2.81 ERA last season. He had a great season just like Robbie Ray. Hope Ray is signed next. What's funny about Gausman was that he was actually better (by a decent margin) on the road last year, even though Oracle Park is one the best parks for pitchers in the game. He did, however, wilt a bit down the stretch after a brilliant 1st half. The thing is that I am always wary of guys who are garbage and then morph into studs in their walk years. That, and now he'll be facing the AL East and the Rogers Centre is a home run hitting haven. Still, the Blue Jays have a nice rotation now with Ryu, Berrios and Gausman. Assuming it works out (because what the hell do I know), this is a great signing. After extending Berrios and bringing in Gausman, I'd imagine Ray is now off the table.

Cohen can afford it so dollars never worry me either. 3 years for a 37 year old is concerning but if anything maybe it hurts in that last year. I don't see him going from a top dog to a bum in 2 years.
