going off the reports that the Jays are trading for chapman... I said the Jays could still add Freeman


so I dont get your comment

- senstroll

Chapman is a fantastic fit because he's a perennial GG 3B.

Ramirez is a great fit because he can potentially play 2B.

Freeman has a great bat but is not a good fit because he and Vladdy play the same position. You could potentially platoon them 1B/DH but that isn't ideal. Vladdy is NOT a good fielder (putting it mildly) at 3B so that was never going to work (hence, the Chapman acquisition).

Not sure how much clearer I can be.

Word going around is Rays are being aggressive in Freddie Freeman talks. Hard to believe they are in at all on a free agent superstar to begin with. If they can outbid the Dodgers and Red Sox and everyone else, that would be something.


gross

but again why you need to win 100 games..yanks and Rays are always good.

I dont think even with the adds, Gausman, Chapman, kik. (minus Ray/Semien)..they are they there yet.

which is why you keep adding.

if Freeman/Ramirez are not in the cards.. look at Marte to play inf/of

Unless he can find a taker now but yeah. Suspect then too. Have a feeling might be some pretty decent changes coming in the offseason regardless of playoff success or not.

Freeman to Tampa would suck, Tampa was trying to split their home games with Montreal this year before the deal was overturned by the league. Their attendance sucks but here they are trying to sign one of the most expensive Free Agents in baseball this season.

Sorry I agree with him. When 3/4 of the damn posts are about the Jays? Or worse, politics?! Yeah.

He's actually been pretty good lately. Totally of my poop list.


PS, I always scroll passed CC and Sens posts.....AND, I wasn't being serious, guess I left the stank of sarcasm on the Baseball site where you (frank)ers should be posting.

"With him in tow, we project Toronto for the 3rd most WAR from position players, up from 5th before they made the trade"

Would Ramirez push the Jays to 1st?

Panthers clear some space…my guess is Gio goes there sometime today and then they give everything they have to try and get Giroux after he plays his 1,000th
