That Baseball Fan

Do you see Kirby Yates going for a one-year health-recovery opportunity, or would someone go in for more years?

Tim Dierkes

2:35

Slap this as your media guide if you're the Pirates. Put the 2013 in tiny print and #1 Prospect in huge print.

Steve Adams

2:35

Oops -- I was scrolling through questions and stepped on Tim's toes as the question picker by accident.

Sorry Tim

Tim Dierkes

2:36

I'll allow it. I was digging up my 2013 Baseball American Prospect Handbook to make a lame joke.

Steve Adams

2:36

I think yes to one year for Yate

Yates

Tim Dierkes

2:36

Yates seems like a straight one-year deal.

2:37

Think we landed around $8 mil. There are several really interesting free agents whose health is everything.

Steve Adams

2:37

Straight one year with lots of interest.

Ross Atkins saying the Jays are prepared to improve their team by concentrating value in one high level player.... or something like that.

Steve Adams

2:37

BAUER POWER.

Connor Byrne

2:37

Bauer's reasonable. So is Springer for Toronto.

That's if TO really wants to spend

we also kind of like LeMahieu there

Steve Adams

2:38

Jays are my bizarre Bauer dark horse, but as Connor said, I also like them for Springer.

Tim Dierkes

2:38

Jays sign Hendriks, Cardinals sign Ozuna, Cubs sign LeMahieu, Marlins get Realmuto

done

Orioles could use Gausman

Stroman makes sense on Jays

This is genius

Steve Adams

2:38

My crude 2021 payroll projections give the Jays the fifth-biggest gap between projected payroll and their 2020 payroll.

Shouldn't Hendriks be a Twin then? They signed him and (poorly) developed him.

2:39

and Ozuna to Miami, for that matter.

Tim Dierkes

2:39

Didi back to Yanks

Connor Byrne

2:39

Gausman also makes sense for the Jays, by the way

Steve Adams

2:39

GET YOUR JOKES STRAIGHT, DIERKES.

Mr Roctober

2:39

Brad Miller had a great year, and super utility players are valuable. What is his market?

Tim Dierkes

2:39

Twins could sign Hendriks for $900 dollarydoos

2:40

Steve Adams

2:40

Tim's slow on the trigger so I'm just taking questions now. It's a coup!

And I don't think Miller's going to better than a mediocre one-year deal

Tim Dierkes

2:40

I think Brad Miller is just Brad Miller. Those types come and go.

Rays

2:40

Kluber is an interesting one, would he be a gausman, Matt Harvey type ~1/10 or a eovaldi when he signed with the rays at 2/4m (really a 1/4m bc injury rehab)

Steve Adams

2:40

Yeah, he had a better year in 2019 in the same number of PAs

Connor Byrne

2:40

yeah, I don't think anyone's really thrilled about Miller

Steve Adams

2:41

and got $2MM from STL -- before pandemic revenue losses. He'll get $1-2MM.

Tim Dierkes

2:41

On Kluber, with a clean bill of health he could get into that $10MM range. But we have no idea what that report looks like at the moment. At least, I don't

Connor Byrne

2:42

I haven't heard anything about him in a while, but I do like him as an Angels target if he's OK

Guest

Could Atkins be talking about anyone other than Bauer? Maybe Lemahieu?
