Kerry Carpenter? Outfield would be Verling, Meadows, and Greene, with Carp at DH vs righty starters. I see Jace being being kinda of a backup 3rd baseman and lefty alternative bat to Bregman.
I'm a Jays fan and I love your take. Blue Jays management needs to lock up Guerrero Jr. and get what they can for Bichette. Without a commitment to Guerrero Jr., the team will have difficulty attracting any noteworthy free agents.
Bregman is literally the only one I think Toronto has a chance at and the only reason I even say that is because Toronto has Springer here. Unless there is some bad blood between the 2 we don't know about, I have to think that Springer has been telling Bregman to come there.
Orioles are really high on Povich. I don't see them trading him, especially with all that team control and with Eflin and Sugano free agents after this year
First time listening to your show. I like it and appreciate your thoughtful breakdown. Too many farout-rumor and nonsensical shows out there with clickbait titles. Glad you use legitimate sources. Good luck to your O's in 2025. Subscribed
I have said it for a few years and I still feel like it could happen. The LAA sign Vladdy after this season. He goes to where his Dad played and leaves Canada to head to a locker room and stadium he knows well. I have nothing to base it on, just has always been my guess.
Tigers are just in a bad situation since they need a big bat and had a weak offense last year, but also have so many rookies and young unproven players. So it puts them in the situation where do they either sign FAs like Bregman and Gleyber or trust in their young players to turn our good enough to increase the offensive production.
@@oofmaker3117 that’s why guys like Gleyber make more sense cause you can easily trade them or dump them after one year. You’d be stuck with Bregman for better or worse
Luxury tax is based on average contract, not yearly cash. Astro’s would go over if the deal averaged more than $16M/year, no matter how back loaded it is.
Do you understand how sluggers like Pete Alonso typically age? The answer is, not very well. No smart GM would offer Alonso more than 3 years or more than the 90 million that the Mets already offered. Frankly, 30 million a year for Alonso is already an overpay in my opinion.
For the Padres I'm fully expecting this year to just be a hunker-down year. If they get Roki then yeah I'll be happy and he's great for the future, when Hosmer's contract finally ends and they can promote Salas and De Vries. 2024 was a great year but they just fell short and now its time to build up again. Maybe I can finally see them win a world series in the 2030s.... sigh.
@@CautionHighWavesAhead- 👍yup. You never know in the current pitcher plague 🤣Plus with Scott Dodgers can build three clutch trio with Kopech and Treinen.
I don't think Toronto is as bad as everybody seems to think they are because they haven't done much yet. They had a lot of under performers last year and things that could've gone the other way as far as injuries go. Springer under performed, Bo did as well on top of being injured. Kirk missed training camp and didn't really get going. We had key bullpen players injured and Vladdy didn't do jack squat the first half of the season. By the time Vladdy started playing like Vladdy, it was already too late, our season was gone, so it didn't even matter. People seem to forget that before his down year last year Bo was one of the best hitters in all of baseball. If he and Springer and Vladdy all do what they're supposed to do and our starters play up to their level, I don't think it's impossible to say that they couldn't earn themselves a wildcard spot. Anyone else they can add will just help that cause and hopefully they can do that.
Why would any free agent sign in Toronto? 🥇Management is atrocious! 🥈Vladdy ain't signed!! 🥉Major TAXES here players lose more m💰ney!!! I would be absolutely shocked if Loss Shatkins does anything. He's proved himself to be a lazy incompetent GM who can't manage anything. Loss Shatkins is a DISGRACE! Rogers doesn't care about Jays fans if they did they would FIRE this horrendous front office.
I think once Sasaki chooses his team, if it's not the Cubs, they trade for either Pablo Lopez from the Twins or Castillo from the Mariners. That will take up about half the money. I could envision a scenario where the Cubs trade Hoerner, Assad, and Alcantara to Minnesota for Lopez, costing the Cubs about 5M of the money, and then the Cubs sign Bregman to play 3B with Shaw moving to 2B.
You clearly don't understand the Dodgers, Jim. The Dodgers will absolutely not offer Tanner Scott a 4-year/80 million dollar deal. That would go totally against their philosophy with relief pictures, even one as high level as Tanner Scott. The Dodgers will only sign Tanner Scott on their terms. End of story.
SI just put out an article, probably AI generated, predicting Bregman resigns with HOU for $175M. Press X to doubt but if it somehow does happen, play him at SS out of spite and move Peña to RF 😂
Cease, Castillo, and Flaherty are not worth the cost! O's should use: Kjerstad and Bradfield and trade with Miami for Alcantara, then trade with the Pirates Mayo for J.Jones and sign Mad Max for 1yr.
@ lmao. I see Anaheim but Detroit and SF the same except SF taxes 10x higher and there is shit all over the ground. Lmao. But Detroit is at better team that all around. Plus these guys don’t live where the shit is. They rich. It’s a different world any city they go
Jays fans are anything but delusional. They hate the team's management for failing to sign Guerrero Jr. long term. Most fans have been calling for Atkins to be fired.
The Jays won't be getting anyone who isn't past their prime. Even if they flash more money in these guys direction, which the club isn't doing, there's no allure for the future.
The lineup I saw was Jace Jung at DH and Tork being gone, which as a Tigers fan I’m ok with
Kerry Carpenter? Outfield would be Verling, Meadows, and Greene, with Carp at DH vs righty starters. I see Jace being being kinda of a backup 3rd baseman and lefty alternative bat to Bregman.
Dodgers fan here ..the first thing the Blue Jays should do before signing these players is sign Vlade Guerrero and trade bichette
I'm a Jays fan and I love your take. Blue Jays management needs to lock up Guerrero Jr. and get what they can for Bichette. Without a commitment to Guerrero Jr., the team will have difficulty attracting any noteworthy free agents.
I’d move em both. Vlad drooling at the free Agency chance.
100%
Jays fan here… we know
He’s just saying that so he won’t go to the Mets lmao
I like you because you aren't clickbait like some of the other MLB channels.
Happy new year 🎉!! Everyone!
Boros is using the Giants to pump up the Mets money. Similarly the Angels are being used as a ‘secret team’ for Alonso
Nice update Jim. Thanks for catching us up. 👍🏾
Bregman is literally the only one I think Toronto has a chance at and the only reason I even say that is because Toronto has Springer here.
Unless there is some bad blood between the 2 we don't know about, I have to think that Springer has been telling Bregman to come there.

So it comes out... the Mets never had an interest in Bregman! Same applies to the Red Sox.
Santadur going to the Astros we already know
Tanner Scott is nice but not $20m AAV nice... big reliever contracts have historically been more risky for teams
I have said it for a few years and I still feel like it could happen. The LAA sign Vladdy after this season. He goes to where his Dad played and leaves Canada to head to a locker room and stadium he knows well. I have nothing to base it on, just has always been my guess.
And if he doesn't want to win..
tigers need all the offense they can get. they can definitely do gleyber and bregman.
Bregman is a terrible fit for that stadium
Tigers are just in a bad situation since they need a big bat and had a weak offense last year, but also have so many rookies and young unproven players. So it puts them in the situation where do they either sign FAs like Bregman and Gleyber or trust in their young players to turn our good enough to increase the offensive production.

Absolutely the best MLB show. Thanks
That’s cool that Dewey has his own RUclips channel. I wonder what Malcolm and Reese are up to.
Malcolm is a race car driver
A lot of rumors say the Astros might be first in the race for Santander.
Man as an astros fan that would be sweet.
The Detroit all in news is old. They said that a week ago
I want the Braves to grab Scott but I don't think he's getting 4/80m. 4/60 seems more likely.
Alonso listening to Boras. I’d grab the $30 million per with an opt out after one , then run with it. He has no market.
Sterns and the Mets are NOT Desperate to Resign Pete , but Pete Will be by ST .
Nobody’s trying to go to Colorado Rockies you are not the destination you Trippin if you think Bregman is gonna sign with the Rockies! Lmao!
Stros are in on Santander
Do you understand how sluggers like Pete Alonso typically age? The answer is, not very well. No smart GM would offer Alonso more than 3 years or more than the 90 million that the Mets already offered. Frankly, 30 million a year for Alonso is already an overpay in my opinion.
Football should go further into February and have the SB the day before President’s Day so you don’t have to take off

I’d like to see Dodgers sign more bullpen arms.
They got 14 all star starters. Their pen will be fine come the playoffs lol.
You're afraid of injuries, I'm sure.
It would almost be unfair if the Dodgers get Tanner Scott.
@@CautionHighWavesAhead- 👍yup. You never know in the current pitcher plague 🤣Plus with Scott Dodgers can build three clutch trio with Kopech and Treinen.
@ what bout Sasaki for 4 years for 12 million?
I don't think Toronto is as bad as everybody seems to think they are because they haven't done much yet.
They had a lot of under performers last year and things that could've gone the other way as far as injuries go.
Springer under performed, Bo did as well on top of being injured. Kirk missed training camp and didn't really get going. We had key bullpen players injured and Vladdy didn't do jack squat the first half of the season.
By the time Vladdy started playing like Vladdy, it was already too late, our season was gone, so it didn't even matter.

Anyone else they can add will just help that cause and hopefully they can do that.
Giants won’t get Santander, or anyone for that matter so I think tigers is a perfect fit
Chris Illitch doesn't like to spend big money.
Love the sweater
I love Santander to the Jay's
Now that Corbin Burns wouldn’t take their money the Giants could be in on a free agent bat .
Schanuel can play left or right if pete comes to anaheim
Why would any free agent sign in Toronto?
🥇Management is atrocious!
🥈Vladdy ain't signed!!
🥉Major TAXES here players lose more m💰ney!!!
I would be absolutely shocked if Loss Shatkins does anything. He's proved himself to be a lazy incompetent GM who can't manage anything.
Loss Shatkins is a DISGRACE!
Rogers doesn't care about Jays fans if they did they would FIRE this horrendous front office.
It’s crazy that Alonso still hasn’t signed .
Gleyber is only a 1 year deal. Cannot hold off singing Bregman because of a 1 year 15 mil dollar player.
Nah, they’re good to go.
Gawd...I hope not. The Jays need to sell and reboot.
Doesn’t Santander play 1st as well? I swear there were multiple games I watch and he was at 1st
Will the Reds sign Santander ?
No
No
no
Detroit is the front runner on Santander if we miss out on Bregman.
@@garyvandecar2580 its the jays
Are cubs gonna do anything with the Bellinger money
No. Ricketts want to keep it for their family.
Hope is tanner Scott. But why would they do that after signing Theilbar😂
Hope for Roki
I think once Sasaki chooses his team, if it's not the Cubs, they trade for either Pablo Lopez from the Twins or Castillo from the Mariners. That will take up about half the money. I could envision a scenario where the Cubs trade Hoerner, Assad, and Alcantara to Minnesota for Lopez, costing the Cubs about 5M of the money, and then the Cubs sign Bregman to play 3B with Shaw moving to 2B.
Tigers should just focus on Santander and some more pitching . Let the kid ( Jung) play third . No one is paying Bregman 200 million .
Nobody wants to pay the taxes playing for the Blue Jays
Just sign Santander and Alonso. Nobody else wants them. Trade Vladdy if he rejects an extension.
You clearly don't understand the Dodgers, Jim. The Dodgers will absolutely not offer Tanner Scott a 4-year/80 million dollar deal. That would go totally against their philosophy with relief pictures, even one as high level as Tanner Scott. The Dodgers will only sign Tanner Scott on their terms. End of story.
Kremer might work
Jace Jung gets traded to the Yankees if Detroit signs Bregman

Padre Oriole trade is much to weak from Padre perspective.
Bregman to the rockies you heard it here first
Last you’ll hear of Bregman.
Detroit trying to build off a fluke year which won't happen and Toronto trying to build off a under performing year.
Seems like Jim still doesn't know how the CBT works
McCormick and Meyers are not consistent
Arenado will end up getting paid by Artiie Moreno money and continue the tradition of has been at 3rd in Angel country
Watch Pete sign with the Royals or something
If he does Mets don’t even don’t even make the playoffs. And it’s already close now. Pitching is terrible all around
Tigers get bregman
Mets Alonso (and they could use Santandar for 2 years high AAV if possible )
Jays - u still got a year of vlady left. Lol
Bregman not wasting this opportunity to end up in Detroit.
@ so where’s better for him? SF? Toronto? Washington? Angels? lol. Detroit pretty damn good last I checked.
@@Standdividedfalltogether I’d take Anaheim for the weather with SF 2nd choice. Live in Detroit? Bet the ranch they don’t get him.
@ lmao. I see Anaheim but Detroit and SF the same except SF taxes 10x higher and there is shit all over the ground. Lmao. But Detroit is at better team that all around. Plus these guys don’t live where the shit is. They rich. It’s a different world any city they go
@ Misconceptions concerning SF. If you’ve got money there’s no “ Shit” on the ground. No way on Detroit.
Jays not getting him cause they suck. He wants to play for a good team
Packing too many of your words into too few of other people's ideas. This should be a 12 minute podcast, based on content..
stros get pressly out of houston, sign Santander.
Hey fellow Metsies fans we need to start a Go Fund Me to get Polar Pete signed to our beloved Metsies! Uncle Stevie come on! LFGM! 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏿😊
Santander is a stiff who had a big year at the right time. Bergman is a declining player. .260 20hrs. Profar is another stiff.
As a Blue Jays fan i can confirm Santander sucks.
Alonso going to Texas
Pete is not a big bat!!! He is s/o machine
Bregman wants to many years. Nobody wants to give him 6 years
Worth a Five with an opt out after 2.

Another trash video with no research or logic
blue jays fans are so delusional. you have a awful farm and you haven’t even been extended ur star player.
Jays fans are anything but delusional. They hate the team's management for failing to sign Guerrero Jr. long term. Most fans have been calling for Atkins to be fired.
First here!!!
Jace Jung isn’t an everyday player right now. Bregman, Sweeney, Torres, Kieth. Tork Carp Jung DH
Santander really fits Toronto and could play 1st base when Vlad leaves
The Jays won't be getting anyone who isn't past their prime. Even if they flash more money in these guys direction, which the club isn't doing, there's no allure for the future.
@stevieG2015 they've had a hard time of it especially this off season but I wouldn't go around throwing out absolutes
Arenado will end up getting paid by Artiie Moreno money and continue the tradition of has been at 3rd in Angel country
