Yes I can, because there's a sucker born every day. There are 30 teams, one of them will be dumb enough to do it. There will always be at least one guy who looks at 2021 and pays them off of that regardless of this year, hell there always seems to be one guy who remembers a monster season a guy had 5 years ago and still throws money at them for it.
I doubt it. Jorge Solar got 3 years 36 million. Better traditional numbers than Hernandez in his big season, but about the same in advanced stats, then fell off. People were predicting 5 100 for Hernandez, however he'll be lucky to get Solar's contract if he doesn't perform the next year and a half.
People had no idea what to put Guerrero at, but were thinking 10 350 million, or maybe 12 400. However his career numbers are the same as Matt Olson's
First, Jays aren't going to sign him to a mega contract at the end of this year, if he's had 4 years, 3 of them mediocre, no one will know what to peg his value at.
If he ends up being a Matt Olson type, he'll get Matt Olson money... 150 million or something, not 400. So yes, if these guys keep imploding they will cost themselves hundreds of millions.
Good news is the slow starts might have already shaved off significant money for 2023 arb values. They can use it to sign others and hope for bounce backs.
If we don't win this year we'll win next year, if we don't win next year we'll win the year after that.
Yeah Fangraphs has a Vlad extension at 8 years 174 million right now.

Jays pitching matchups against the Cards is Berrios/Mikolas and Gausman/Hicks, I'd give us the edge here but our bats have been woeful, at least the Cards are missing 2/3rds of their OF with Carlson and O'Neill on the IL. A split would be ideal, hopefully we get some decent offense and can take the 2 game set.![]()
