Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Pt III | Winter meetings are over. Still waiting for stuff to happen

[habamillions]

I keep seeing doubles. Any homeruns?

I know he hit 2 homees in the same game like 2 days ago. 1 was a moonshot

 

[Anthrax442]

Whats wrong with doubles

Toronto Blue Jays may be best fit for RHP Joe Musgrove

Not sure if posted already

I'd rather have Taillon, but I'll take either or both.

Can't argue with that.

 

[weems]

Is Musgrove even that much of a upgrade over Walker?

im not a baseball stats guy but they look pretty similar.

 

[The Podium]

He slimmed down a ton. Good work Vladdy, kept to your offseason promise.

I find him very slider dependent but yeah he's better than Walker.

 

[Anthrax442]

I find the lack of moves disturbing

It seems to push back every winter now. Remember when he waited it out until Januaty 16th and somebody still thought it was a good idea to offer Chris Davis 7 years and 160 million.

Then sign somewhere.

People really need to learn the difference between "affects" and "effects". It is really not that hard, and I expect journalists to know it considering communication is pretty much their entire job.

She has to puff her chest a little bit and play the game. She is new to the industry, Bauer is pretty much her only client (which she mainly got because she knew him before he was rich and famous), and she is negotiating for arguably the top UFA in this class who can pretty much demand for a blank cheque. If she messes this up, then her career is pretty much done before it began, because it won't get any easier than this for her.

Number 1 starter with 3 years of control? Yes, please.

We definitely got the trade pieces to do it without even giving up Martin.

Reds Reportedly Discussing Luis Castillo In Trade Talks

The Reds are discussing right-hander Luis Castillo in trade talks with other teams.

It’s no surprise other teams are calling to gauge Castillo’s potential availability. The 28-year-old has posted a 3.35 ERA/3.42 FIP across 260.2 innings since the start of the 2019 season.

Castillo’s raw stuff supports those results. He’s one of the sport’s hardest-throwing starters, coming off a season in which he averaged a career-high 97.8 MPH on his sinker. He backs that up with an elite changeup and an effective slider. Castillo certainly looks to have cemented himself among the game’s top arms.

Yeah, no way she got him as a client because she's really good at her job or anything.

What kind of job are we talkin', it's Bauer after all?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He's literally her first client. She has no proven track record of being "really good at her job", which is why this is important for her: To prove that she is really good at her job.

She likely has the qualifications, which are great and necessary, but that doesn't separate people. Knowing a guy from college does. It's not different for her as it is for likely every other person with her job. They all knew someone, or started from the bottom and worked their way up, making contacts that way. Not too many exceptions in industries that require domain experience and knowledge.

The fact she had the opportunity shows that she is already put herself in a good position, but that only goes so far.

“ After passing the Bar Exam, Luba worked as a Salary Arbitration attorney at the MLBPA, where she helped take a record-number 22 cases to hearing—winning 12 against the Teams. Luba launched her own agency in 2019, becoming the youngest female MLB Agent and starting the first ever female-owned Agency. During her first offseason as a Player-Agent, Luba negotiated her first contract worth $17.5M for Starting Pitcher Trevor Bauer, making him the second-highest paid salary arbitration eligible pitcher in history. Following the 2020 Season, Bauer won the NL Cy Young making Luba the first female to represent a Cy Young Winner.”

From her website.

Just so you can see that her qualifications go farther than knowing the guy from college. Also kind of shows she’s “good at her job”

 

[weems]

Castillo would be an amazing addition.
