Kablamo!

Ray seems like the kind of guy that could easily just take a bit less to stay in Toronto to win but he's definitely taking advantge of being a free agent to see what it's all about. I also think fit for his family is a big thing too.

 

[Maestro84]

Top free agent bats eh.

Corey Seager incoming (lol I know not happening)

 

[Dr.Funk]

Given the smoke around the trade market with us, I imagine we may acquire another starter.

However I am still a firm believer we should look to bring back Ray if possible.

Also, RIP Nate Pearson lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s included in a deal. Though I guess him starting at AAA isn’t the end of the world

Pearson was pretty much always ticketed for AAA. He didn't get many innings this year.

If they did bring Ray back even long term. The dollars likely aren’t that inhibitive because Ryu and Grichuk are both up in two years when Vlad and Bo start really earning. Depth could be tough though.

The team will be making a ton of money next year. Attendance will be huge.

Corey Seager incoming (lol I know not happening)

No but i do see kyle

 

[SDig14]

You love to hear it.

 

[Avilaj07]

That's 2 signings alone this year that have taken less to come to Toronto

 

[Dr.Funk]

No but i do see kyle

Haha. The owners meltdown will be great.

Pearson was pretty much always ticketed for AAA. He didn't get many innings this year.

If they add another solid starter I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Pearson become a pen arm, at least for 2022, with some spot starts here and there. They have a bunch of rotation pieces in place long term (Berrios, Gausman, and Manoah) so it may not be a bad idea to try him as a high-leverage reliever at this point.

Lots of options, at least.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jays an attractive destination eh? Great to hear.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

can you blame them .. not one pitcher in this league wants to face our lineup. so why not join them

 

[LeafChief]

The Mets LOL

 

[Maestro84]

Stevie boy on suicide watch right now

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Dunking on uncle Stevie over and over again is fun.

 

[phillipmike]

Jays top 2 FA signings in league history.

Top re-signing in Berrios.

 

[dredeye]

To Toronto-
Ramirez
Plesac

To Guardians-
Groshans
Gurriel
Pearson
Biggio

That’s a big price to pay but man would that team look incredible. Not too hard to find a lf and utility guy.

 

[Canada4Gold]

You love to hear it.

 

[Anthrax442]

wtf is guardians

 

[BertCorbeau]

Oh the Mets are going to go big on Ray now. This should be fun.

 

[hoc123]

Oh the Mets are going to go big on Ray now. This should be fun.

They won’t be gunning for Ray likely, considering they would lose the 14th overall pick for signing him. It seems like it’s Scherzer or the trade market for the Mets
