Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season III: Ray/Semien out, Gausman in. Jays linked to everyone. Labor strife happening.

[The Nemesis]

Blue Jays Discussion: - It's still the off-season (Ray: Cy Young, Berrios: 7yr ext, Semien: to TEX, Gausman: signs 5y/$110m)

Famous last words.

We should be safe. Last I heard @phillipmike wasn't in the shower. That means the chances of things happening are reduced by at least a factor of 4

Wendel dealt to the Marlins for prospect Kameron Misner. I've got $10 on Misner becoming an all-star in the next few years because...Tampa Bay.

What about Odor in Baltimore. Think he turns it around?

Well he couldn't get much worse. Then again, he was never that good to begin with. You hope he can be league average in the best case Ontario.

Ray got how much? That's all? Surely the Jays could have matched that...well, not considering the Jays tax.

Oh, well. I initially figured he'd take off.

Ray told the Jays that he expected a better offer from laa and wasn't meeting them until after the cba

I absolutely love the fact that Atkins did what he did regarding Ray. Ray tried to play the Jays and make them up their offer by saying he had a meeting with the Angels lined up and he wasn't planning on signing before the CBA expired. From all accounts, the Jays offered Ray the same contract he signed with the Mariners, instead he tried to be greedy and is now stuck on a bottom dwelling team.

What’s the source on this

 

[Canada4Gold]

Jays forgot the non-tender deadline had been moved up and forgot to tend everyone arbitration. Vladdy, Biggio, Teo, Stripling, Jansen, Mayza, Richards, and Cimber become free agents

That's not what I saw. What I saw is that Ray's camp took the Jays offer (which was apparently in the ballpark of the Gausman contract) and held out for more money. The Jays then decided they weren't going to wait for him to come back down on price or bump their offer and moved on to signing Gausman instead. Meanwhile Ray found that nobody was going to pay out significantly more (likely because Gausman had just set the market for pitchers of that tier) and ended up taking the comparable deal from the Mariners because it was the best value left for him.

Wait, it’s Bargea suggesting Freeman to the Jays?


That would be wild

Yes. He seems to know jays stuff for some reason. He called semien last year. He also callee garcia this year

I have to imagine the flurry of signings that happen in the last couple hours before 11:59 on December 1st is going to be glorious.

Tigers have officially non-tendered Matt Boyd.
