2 years with an option for a 3rd - should have grabbed him
Apparently it's a player option, which basically makes it a three year deal for the Mets.

Such a strange signing in my eyes for the Mets. Did they really need more pitching and to commit 3 years to someone with such a unreliable history?
Dont get me wrong, it could work out very well for both sides but i wonder if the Mets are cutting themselves off at the knees. That's $10M less they have to spend to re-sign Lindor, Conforto, Syndergaard, and Stroman with Cano's $24M coming back on the books.
With Walker pretty much getting 3 years, that means Odorizzi is getting at least that so he likely isnt an option for us. Perhaps Porcello or Leake on a 1 year deal?
I would rather "Stand Pat" and do nothing else. Porcello and Leake arent better then what we already have. The Jays will piece together a rotation with Ryu, Pearson, Ray, Matz, Roark and Stripling. To be honest it would have been nice to bring Walker or Odorizzi in but at what they are asking and going to receive its better to save our bullets for later. Lets see what we have. We have a sure thing in Ryu and if Pearson can become 75% of what they project him to be that is a solid #2. The wildcards are going to be Ray, Matz, Roark and Stripling. All 4 of them have been successful in the past, we just need 2 of the 4 to be solid, eat innings with the 3rd being passable. With our offence, if it clicks like its expected we should be able to provide enough runs to be in every game.
Manoah lost a lot of weight

Gives them a starter until THOR IS ready mid summer. They’ll lose pitching in the off season. 3 of their starters are former jays lolSuch a strange signing in my eyes for the Mets. Did they really need more pitching and to commit 3 years to someone with such a unreliable history?

A whole lot of BSOTL so far in camp.
To me that reads "if any remaining free agent wants to sign, or any team wants to make a trade, with the Jays, our offers arent going to increase - so make up your mind."

Blue Jays The Blue Jays went after plenty of big names this offseason. Ultimately, the club's big get turned out to be the signing of outfielder George Springer to a six-year, $150 million deal. It's an automatic upgrade on both offense and defense for the Jays. They also acquired infielder Marcus Semien along with relievers Kirby Yates, Tyler Chatwood and David Phelps, which should help after losing closer Ken Giles via free agency.
Toronto needed starting pitching, and without the addition of a frontline starter, that might become a weak spot in 2021. A lot is going to fall on the club's top starters Hyun-Jin Ryu and Nate Pearson. As far as starting pitching goes, the Jay's notable additions included lefties Robbie Ray and Steven Matz. GRADE: A-
Did Porcello ever HAVE wheels? It seems to me like he was meh with the Tigers, and only was considered "good" because Red Sox.I think they should bring Leake to camp, good to fair chance he looks better than a couple of our starters in spring training. I'd just forget about Porcello all together, hard contact machine and the wheels are starting to fall off of him.
Man, I'm not seeing what they're seeing with the White Sox.
