Offseason Roster Thread 2017-18

[Spanky99]

The Royals were the only team that popped into my mind as a team that might take him on if they don't get hosmer. Even if we had to chip in 5 mil this year I would do it.

There's still a lot of guys eligible for the Royals to take via FA... they'd have to miss on pretty much all of them for this to come to fruition, but I'd assume there's a slight chance. It'd be nice to free ourselves of that contract, or I hope Kendrys bounces back, for all our sake.

Chris Carter (31)
Lucas Duda (32)
Adrian Gonzalez (36)
Eric Hosmer (28)
John Jaso (34)
Adam Lind (34)
Tyler Moore (31)
Logan Morrison (30)
Mike Napoli (36)
Efren Navarro (32)
Mark Reynolds (34)
Danny Valencia (33)

Speaking of the Royals they just might have the worst farm in baseball. That Org is in such a mess, going to be one long ass rebuild.

Good. Fuck the Royals.

Would you rather sign J.D. Martinez to a 6-7 year contract, or try to extend Donaldson this offseason with the remaining funds we have?

Sign Josh, is the obvious answer here. The remaining funds doesn't affect an extension this year.

Edit: Birds can still sign players, is what I'm saying.

[BTS]

Carrera (1.9) and Loup (1.8125) avoided arb.

[John_Havok]

Carrera (1.9) and Loup (1.8125) avoided arb.

Donaldson 23 million confirmed, avoided arb

[BTS]

Sanchez signs for 2.7M. Between him (0.8), Donaldson (2.3), and Loup (0.0125) the team has spent about 3.1M more than MLBTR projected on their arb guys so far.

[AledmysDiaz]

Travis at 1.45 (1.7 Projection)

[BTS]

So Leone, Stroman, Pillar, and Osuna left. Stroman is probably the last chance at a long term extension this offseason.

Good call on releasing Smoak.

[Abomination]

So Leone, Stroman, Pillar, and Osuna left. Stroman is probably the last chance at a long term extension this offseason.

Leone 1.085 (1.2 proj) and Pillar 3.25 (4.0 proj)

Well it's been a long winter for the jays. For the second straight year they have
done nothing to improve, But maybe make it worst. Heard a lot of B.S. from the
jays management team that we are interested in this guy or this guy but nothing
ever happens.Teams like Houston, New York, Seattle, Giants, Minnesota, Texas, Oakland,
etc are all going to kick ass this year. And the jays do nothing. As of right now have no outfield, no 5 starter,
need bullpen help, and a legit back up catcher. And a big bat. Josh Can not do it bye himself. Justin Smoak is a one hit wonder.
Tulo/Travis are always hurt. Remind you of anybody else......................lol
And have no team speed. Remember the good old days when the jays had speed to burn. White, Alomar, Henderson(half the season)
Molitor, and still had lots of power.

[Todd]

Why are you trading away two guys that are always hurts to bring up a guy that is also
always hurt. And nobody wants these two players TULO/TRAVIS.
People have to get over this guy. Why take up a roster spot for a nobody just like Pompey.
