@CardsMax Rozier has no idea how to play any kind of defensive game. OG is one of the leagues top Defensive players. Not all about who gets the most points per game.
@HighfiBlueJays@Bluejaysuniver1 Exactly. Ohtani was a walking money machine. 700 million will pay itself and some. Great investment regardless.
They have money to spend but nothing like what they were able to have for Ohtani.
The guys that are left want massive money and they aren’t elite. 🤷🏼♂️
@lboylesports@RedsInFour You understand India is statistically the worst defensive 2nd baseman in the league? It’s not like his bat is any better to be honest… you’ll be lucky to get a decent draft pick for the guy at this point. He’ll probably be put on waivers at some point.
@Octim1 Players will get more if you have certain teams competing against each other to spend more on other players. They need Ohtani to open the flood gates
@birenball Springer will be off the books by that time. Chapman won’t be resigning. Ricky T (getting the call this year) and Varsho will be cheap for years to come.
The only big names we need to sign are those 2. Tons of money to keep those guys here. Especially Bo. .
But wow do we have options to save money and bring in big talent bats at other positions.
Once Biggio got his everyday play, he started feeling better at the plate and making solid contact.
An unpopular opinion for #BlueJays fans I’m sure but Chapman only hit .240 in 2023 because of his unreal start of the season. 2nd half he batted .205.
Now if you look at Biggio, he batted .239 at the end of the year. 14 less RBI/ 8 less HR but 220 less at bats.
Also looking at Addison Bargar in AAA Buffalo right now. Batted .250 OPS .756 52 BB in 392 PA. Pretty darn good. Then you look at Fielding and he played 3rd for 172 innings and only had 3 errors.
I gotta be honest… Chapman is a top Defensive 3rd basement in the league..
