Blue Jays 2021
- Thread starter shack
- Start date
I hate the Red Sox and I always kind of liked the Yankees. Aaron Judge and some others are very classy people. The tradition and the clean shaven look are admirable. Aaron Boone manages from the top step. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the Jays to win ...but now my second choice is out too. Got family in Illinois so now I turn to the White Sox.

This has to be a bummer for Dodgers fans... that the Dodgers, with 106 wins... have to qualify for a Wild Card spot!!!
" Eleven rare times through MLB history, a 100-win team has been relegated to second-best by an even stronger division champion or pennant winner -- and a new team just joined the list. It's still only happened five times in the divisional era, which began in 1969. Before that, going back to 1903, the year of the first World Series, six additional 100-win teams finished second in a pennant race. "

The jays aren't built for playoffs at this point, they can bash but can't grind. Tampa make pitchers grind every at bat, the jays are too eager still. Facing top three pitchers they would get swallowed up in the playoffs.
There aren't many 12-2 playoff games. Ray could be a one hit wonder. Has he done it long enough to get a big contract? Remember ra dickey? Would you pay 25 mil for these numbers? .500 pitcher with a 4 era, worse than stroman who wants to return. Remember Daniel marois? Everyone thought Justin smoak was fixed also.

Toronto Blue Jays Ross Atkins Charlie Montoyo 2022 - TSN.ca
That's ok...the Jays squeezed career years out of those two and they'll be hard pressed to repeat...
Blue Jays: Charlie Montoyo and the coaching staff are safe for next year (jaysjournal.com)
So far, so wrong. There's still a half season to go for you.
Rowdy's rocket propels Crew to Game 1 win
MILWAUKEE -- The 40,852 clad in blue and gold were begging. They saw dazzling defense and an electric Corbin Burnes carve up a Braves lineup that can strike from any spot in the order. They saw a scoreless deadlock linger into the seventh inning. They needed something to erupt for,

Alex Anthopoulos and his Atlanta Braves have been in the playoffs for 4 straight years and are in the World Series this season. When he took over in 2017 they finished in last place in the National League East the year before.
Let that sink in for a bit

The Blue Jays will not receive any compensation if Yates signs elsewhere, because he was not offered the $18.4 Million qualifying offer for one year contract extension. The $18.4 Million amount is the average salary of the top paid 125 players.
This link from mlb dot com shows what the compensation would be if free agent players who were offered the qualifying offer by their current team elect to sign with a different team. Most of the teams who lose one of these free agents will receive a draft pick next June between rounds 2 and 3; picks #61 and up. The team signing the free agent does not lose a draft pick, as in hockey; these are bonus picks for the teams losing free agents.
There's also a provision that if a free agent who received a qualifying offer does not re-sign with any team by a specific date, the team he played for in 2021, he cannot re-sign with his current team before May 1st, and a team signing this player will lose a draft pick, if that player is signed before the June amateur draft. This was the scenario with Craig Kimbrel in 2019, and why the Cubs waited until June 7, after the draft, to sign him. I think the quality of the draft pick(s) surrendered in these cases is tied to the size of the new contract, rather than past statistical performance.
The compensation pick if Corey Seager signs with a team other than the Dodgers is after the 4th round, because the Dodgers team payroll exceeds the luxury tax amount; this is explained in the mlb dot com link.
Generally, teams don't offer qualifying offers to players who aren't worth the qualifying offer amount, in the team's opinion. Whether or not the team hopes to re-sign that player is not necessarily a factor. If, for example, the Blue Jays don't plan to try to re-sign Marcus Semien, they would still give him the qualifying offer, because they want the compensation draft pick when he signs with a different team. On the other hand, if the Jays want to try to resign Steven Matz, they would not offer him the qualifying offer, because they value him at less than $18.4 Million for the 2022 season.

Alex, though talented in his own right had perfect timing regarding both jobs. Toronto had 2 -3 years of being a solid contender, his last year and subsequent two years. The talent would age and he traded away a good chunk of the farm for the 2015 run.
Going to Atlanta they were on the verge of a rebuild with promising talent and nowhere to go but up.
I think that if Toronto had made the play-offs they would have went to the Series and faced the Braves.

I think what really went wrong for the Jays this season is that too many things went unexpectedly right. I don't think FO was looking at contending and 2021 was a bridge to real contention in 2022/23 (explains pitching weakness in first half). Then a funny thing happened along the way and they had a shot.
I also don't buy the "career year" thing for Semien. I see no reason why he can't maintain a similar set of stats, except maybe if he doesn't have Vladdy, etc. around him. Bring him back, give him $130M/4
