I will take Ray. We can use a lefty that gets strike outs. His issue has been control and it's been an issue since he changed his pitching style a few years ago. He'll be fine with control now that he's gone back to his old release. 

 

You don't need to replace all of those HRs and RBIs. You have Biggio who can play 2nd or 3rd. And, Semien doesn't want to play 2nd, he wants to play SS. So, he'll sign somewhere that will at least give him that chance (for a year or two). 

 

Jays need starting pitching, which means you can't spend over the top for middle infielders. It does sound like the richest team in baseball will finally spend. They locked up Berrios on a pretty good deal. 

Not sold on Biggio anyways I hope the Blue Jays implode this year

I hope the BJs do well enough to finish 2nd in the AL East. I have a son who loves them and is devastated when they lose. 

 

I'm not sold on Biggio either, BTW. He's my son's favourite, so I put a smile on when he speaks about him. My son saw him hit his first career home run at Skydome and I'm sure that cemented his fandom.

Biggio was hurt all last year from start to finish. Should be better he will never have that great of a BA but his eye at the plate is really good and will have a very good OBP has decent power and can play any position on the diamond out of pitcher.

Semien bolts for the Rangers

Sometimes you post in the wrong thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ray joins the Mariners as the Blue Jays signed Kevin Gausman, are the Blue Jays stronger pitching wise, maybe

Its a lateral move

It sorta depends on whether you think Ray is going to maintain the pace from last year, or if you believe it was a one off..... I honestly don't know enough about baseball to know for sure. 

I would of taken Gausman on the Yankee's hard pass on Ray

Max Scherzer reportedly to make MLB-record $43.3M US annually in 3-year deal with Mets

Insanity.....

Your not a major league commissioner till you have had a work stoppage

I guess no one wants to build the Blue Jays a new ball park so renovations it is.

And apparently MLB finally got smart and is eliminating pitchers from hitting. Sadly DH is to replace them. 

Universal DH just makes too much sense....glad to see it. Got my new Bichette jersey ordered and I'll be ready to roll for the start of the season!

Excited looks like Cubs are going to try to bring back Rizzo and make a strong push for Correa. 

No unvaccinated MLB players will be allowed to play in Toronto

 

Don't look now, but the Jays are building one of the best teams in the majors. Matt Chapman today via trade and they're working on more. Already have one of the best starting rotations in the AL, and now the infield is coming together.

AL East is going to be crazy, if the Red Sox can find a way to stay competitive. I could see three teams making the playoffs.
