2021 Initial Free agent list

Hoping the Jays keep Siemen.

Would love Ray as well buy Siemen is 1st choice.

Speculation is that Siemen goes to the West Coast. 2B for the Giants or SS for the Mariners are both possibilities.

High strikeout rate. He just needs to cut down on home runs.

Glad he'll be doing that somewhere other than the Bronx.

Brett Gardner won't look right in anything but pinstripes.

Or maybe an extra on the show Oz.......

No kidding. That short porch didn't do him any favors.

Definitely a possibility. I wouldn't count the Jays out.
He had a career year in a friendly hitting park for him. Also the fact that the Jays will be competing for the foreseeable future

Where does Max rank among best FA deals?

Prior to the 2014 season, the Tigers offered Max Scherzer, then 29 years old and fresh off an American League Cy Young win in '13, a six-year extension worth $144 million. Scherzer declined it, feeling he could do better, and after another good season in 2014 (this time finishing fifth

E-Rod to the Tigers. 5 yr/$77m

Syndergaard apparently going to the Angels. Not sure what he is at this point, very inconsistent and injury prone, hasn't played in 2 years. I'll take the pick but hoping this isn't another Zack Wheeler situation.

Pending a physical. 3 very important words in this case. Thor hasn't pitched a full season recently and only has thrown 2 innings in the past couple of years. MLB Network reported that he has not thrown a breaking pitch since his surgeries.

hi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Blue Jays and right-hander José Berrios have agreed to a seven-year, $131 million extension, pending a physical.​

Jon Heyman of MLB Network was first to report news of the agreement while Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported the length of the deal. The new agreement will cover his final year of arbitration and six free agent years, taking him through his age-34 season. Acquired from the Twins in July, Berrios posted a 3.52 ERA and 204/45 K/BB ratio over 192 innings this past season. The future of Robbie Ray is in question, but the Blue Jays can at least feel secure that Berrios is in the fold for the long-term.

Why can't Robbie Ray stop smiling?

Great signing for the Jays

Will the Braves let him go just because of another year? Especially if there is a DH in the NL.

Verlander reportedly back to Houston on a 2 year $50M deal. Can opt out after next season.

I've heard some good things about this guy. He should help someone quite a bit.
