Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

I'm not sure what the residency rules are.
In 10 years time, I expect him to become a non-resident, which could theoretically completely shift his tax away from the US.
I’ll take a look, it seems long lol. Do we know what his tax rate might be? It must be substantial tax savings if they are willing to risk betting against the U.S money printer.

One page of value of money calculations with tax implications. What's more baseball than that?

Jim Bowden says the Jays are trying to re-sign Matt Chapman.
Seriously. At what point do on-field results start to factor into player analysis for these guys? Like... if I watched a player and thought he was a 35+ FV prospect, but then he mashed pitching at every level for two years, I would probably assume there was something I was missing.

Yeah, a very weird list. TJ Brock is raw and has a lot of potential but to rank a 24 year old with a near 7 ERA in AA 6th is remarkable no matter how great the velo and swing and miss stuff.
Also no Bohrofen is criminal after the start he had last year. I wouldnt be surprised if he is our best hitter in the farm by the end of next season and could go as high as AA. Other guys I value more than players towards the bottom of the list are; Beltre, Fluharty, Aponte, and Edward Duran included in the Bass/Pop trade.

Well, last season it was a different team than previous couple of seasons but the result was still same. I am sure management still wants to make a big move or 2. It just takes time, unfortunately.

The Ohtani hangover continues.
Overdrive was right when they said these high profile pursuits weren’t necessarily a good idea since the letdown does nothing to rehab a team that under delivered so much last year. Also doesn’t do anything for a GM who was mired in controversy to come in second place on a big fish and then go back to unsatisfying status quo stuff.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I am not disappointed about Ohtani because I never truly believed it was going to happen after the flight rumor was debunked.
In the end, we might be better off anyway if we allocate similar financial resources towards acquiring solid depth in a few areas of need.

I think that the entire fanbase is a little nervous about what Toronto will do.
If Bellinger or Chapman and minor tinkering is the offseason, then this would be a horrible failure. That being said, it is still December and the offseason is far from over.
Also, the Jays need a different balance, but that doesn't mean that they necessarily need a Soto/Ohtani level player to make it happen.

I think Chapman would be a mistake. his main attribute before the trade was defense, and that has slipped last year, and as he ages I don't see it getting any better.
The free agent pool is quite weak this year. I think they may have to do some kind of a trade.

Sign Lee for LF, Turner for 3B, and J.D Martinez for DH.
I don’t mind Turner at 3B because we may only need to play him at 3B for half a season if Barger, Martinez or someone else is ready by mid season.
1. Lee
2. Springer
3. Vlad
4. Martinez
5. Bichette
6. Turner
7. Kirk/Jansen
8. Schneider/Biggio
9. Varsho

I dont mind this at all. Gives you flexibility and keep your prospects. If Martinez or Turner dont work out, you still have all you MLB ready prospects to step or perhaps use in a trade to get better players.

I'd rather just go after Yamamoto.. none of the bat options out there are particularly interesting.
