I think the Jays just run it back with another big bodied back end starter (a la Cody Ponce) and sign Clay Holmes.

He stays healthy (only lost time this year because he got hit by a 111 MPH comebacker), the pitch mix is really good, and the sinker and changeup just don't get hit.

This pitch is ridiculous. 99mph at the knees from a 4.9’ release height with 6.8’ of extension. 6th inning as well.

I’m all aboard the #Ketet2TOR train
Ketel Marte being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays makes a lot of sense

Do note that Ketel has his 10-5 rights, so all we can hope for is that he'd prefer to be here if a trade lined up.

That kills the dream. Good chance he and his agent don't see a major AAV bump to try being a starter. I mean, if Tanner Scott got an $18M AAV for 4 years at 30 years old, Morejon would seemingly be looking for at least a $22M AAV. cont.⬇️
Adrian Morejon is drawing interest as a starter but prefers to remain as a reliever, per @TheAthleticMLB. Morejon is entering his age-28 season and has started just 1 of his 285 games since 2022.

How much further above a $22M AAV would teams go to make him start (something he hasn't done consistently at any point as a major leaguer)? Maybe someone goes crazy to get him to start, but it just feels more likely a team will go crazy just to let him be a reliever.

The three best available bats this offseason (assuming some 10-5 trade vetoes are waived). Who do you want for the Jays? Account for their acquisition cost as well.

This feels like the shortlist of SP options the Jays will be shopping in: Adrian Morejon Nick Pivetta Kevin Gausman Clay Holmes Michael Soroka Kris Bubic Kaima Taira

I know the Pivetta injury could be long term issue but he pitched great down the stretch for the Padres. If the Jays are ok with the medicals he’d be my favourite target behind Morejon.

Please note that anything CBA related from the MLB account is going to be propaganda from the owners. Doesn’t mean the proposals are bad necessarily, it just means the proposals are from billionaire owners who want to make more money.
With free agency already underway, and recognizing that Clubs will need a full offseason to operate within the cap and floor system, MLB is proposing to phase in the salary cap and floor in 2028 The projected cap and floor payrolls for 2028 would make 12 clubs increase payroll by $636M to reach the floor, and 8 clubs to decrease payroll $528M to reach the cap. Overall, this would net a $108M payroll increase Starting in 2028 would allow a smoother transition into the cap and floor system without delaying key player benefits

We can fix him (probably not, but let's have some fun).

The Brett Bateman trade was absolutely massive in retrospect. Had we not acquired him, we'd have already picked up Straw's option and be looking at a CF FA class of Grisham and Varsho while also trying to find a corner power bat. Great foresight and scouting by the FO.

At the time, we all thought the Cubs underpaid for Gausman (and no one expected Bateman to post 1.9 fWAR in 41 games). Also helped that Bateman was blocked by PCA, but that also means the Cubs were probably ready to trade Bateman to anybody. Glad we got him.

Also can the Angels finally trade Trout? Surely their new FO understands his contract isn’t within their rebuild window. He’s owed $142 million over the next 4 years ($35 mil AAV).
Can anyone else see the Jays making another Soriano-level trade this offseason? I can't see a world where they move JoJo or Brick, and we finally have pitching prospects that could save us from Francis and Arrighetti innings late in the season.

I can see them taking on a hefty contract similar to the Andres Gimenez deal. Not entirely sure which teams are trying to shed payroll, but this feels like the route they'd go to acquire an everyday player via trade.
