Did you guys catch that? In the first minute of the video. Jim was going down the list of teams that could be interested in Vladimir Jr, and when he said Angels, he started to laugh, but continued with the rest of the teams.
O’s fan here and my gut says Burnes is west coast bound or to AZ. Listening to the broadcast team run through the “get to know him” stuff…it was always west-coast based things. Wife and young kids in AZ…from CA and has business interests there. That type of stuff. Just always seemed like it was going to be a one year thing in BAL sadly but he’s absolutely earned it. A true ace.
If the blue jays say fuck it and offer the amount vlad wants I wouldn’t be surprised if the day they announce it they also announce Burnes and Santander with him seems like he’s the bottle neck holding them back
They could give him a blank cheque and he will not sign with them. There's been too much damage done in that relationship, no amount of money is going to patch those wounds.
@ I agree they’d played around with him for too long but in a interview he said his camp gave the jays FO the number to get it done, but it’s possible he’s just saying that
@Poppapanda2001 He's of course going to say that but we all know that it's an empty statement. Even if the Jays were to say yes to his number, Vlad knows that the Mets after 2025 will beat that number by at least $50m.
Toronto this year feels like they will win 90+ games or under 75. They have so many guys that could be really good, or really bad. With that volatility they might as well just go with it, and focus on filling the big holes as well as they can to get rid of some “luck”
Jim= Thank you for being realistic on Sasaki. His connection to Ohtani & Yamamoto is way stronger than Yu who is 39 with only 2 yrs left on his contract. 41 and maybe out long before Roki's contract ends and only a 5-man rotation. SD wants Saski so they can trade Cease for financial reasons per many including Hacksaw. Every time someone mentions a team other than Dodgers they never mention "Why" Dodgers in the first place for comparison. They mention Pitcher Development, without noting Dodgers have a good one. Look at MiLB Miller, Knack, Sheehan, Stone, etc. 6-Man rotation easy with Ohtani both pitcher & hitter. I even heard Sasaki was staying at Ohtani's house. I do know when he was in Japan, Ohtani and Sasaki talk quite frequently on the phone last season because of friendship. Just so many reasons. Roki could go elsewhere, but that is going to take a large move pitch. Nice to have some logical fresh air analysis instead of click bait chatter.
Uhhh....Darvish is signed until 2028 bro...he signed his extension in 2023. He has 4 years left bro. Please research things before commenting on teams smh. Also Yu Darvish has taught Roki all of his pitches and has prepped him for MLB since he was 18. Roki and Yus relationship has been documented and its very private...the only people who talk about a Yamamoto and Ohtani relationship are L.A. fans. All that happened is that they all pitched for team Japan in the WBC. Also Preller has followed Roki long before L.A. has. The dedication has been there and Rokis manager already said he'd benefit more from a smaller market. Also Roki has already had a bad experience with the media in Japan...L.A. is just as toxic of a media outlet so i wouldn't say its a foregone conclusion he signs with L.A. All I'm saying
@@live4themoment94 Fact 1- Roki will sign a contract of 6 years before Free Agency. You are right, Darvish was lied to and signed the extension until 28 when he will be 43. Right now Yu is one of the 10 oldest active Starting Pitchers. However, that is even worse. Yu has a history of injuries. He missed at least 30 games last year. Based on Yu's history his projected days missing on the injury list for the rest of his contract are 2025: 30-40 days 2026: 40-50 days 2027: 50-60 days 2028: 60-70 days with a caveat of possibly 'significant time lost." Either way, Yu is expected to be on the injury list a full season plus during those 4 seasons and even if zero injuries, Roki would be there 2 years without Yu. In the MLB you can't fool age. Seeing as Yu's last TJ was 2015, he may not finish the 2025 seasons as TJ injuries are on the rise. Side Note: Tommy John was the first pitcher to have the surgery and come back. He was a Dodger. The Dodgers have the best medical care and longest history of experience with TJ. Fact 2- As to only LA fans talking about the relationship, I do not think Rosenthal, Bowden, or even Hacksaw are LA Fans. But look at their pitch. Several SD announcers even talk about how the hope for Roki is so they can afford to trade Cease and dump salary. You think the Yankees and Mets are not going to mention that as well. What kind of selling point is that? That moves the Giant and Seattle ahead of Padres. Fatc 3- Then it comes to pitching development. The best SD Pitching Development Coach left in 2019. What has the current group done? Snell was a Cy Young winner in the AL before he came to SD. King and Cease were quality before they came. In fact, Orel Hershier taught King when he was still in Little League. Unless mistaken every Padres Starter came from outside SD, including Yu who came from the Dodgers. Fact 4- Biggest advantage? 6-Man Rotation. Dodgers can do it and keep 13 non-pitchers on the roster. SD cannot. Why? Because Ohtani is a pitcher and hitter. Yu remember the one SD promised Yu they would go all out to sign. As to Fact -5 The whole smaller market thing? Wasn't that part of the Yamamoto and not wanting to be with other countrymen that made no difference as well? Just a story to justify the Cocktail Circuit Tour. Fact 6- In a poll of the 30 GMs just before Winter Meetings, 30 of them said Roki was signing with the Dodgers. What does that mean? That means even the Padres GM said he felt Roki was signing with the Dodgers. I kind of think he has a deeper insight that any Padres Fan on the topic and a greater vested interest in the results. But who knows for sure? Maybe you know more than the Padres GM. If Roki signs there, congratulations to you, sorry for Roki. I would be surprised but not shocked. Just don't get your hopes too high. Apparently your own GM's are not.
I still say the if the Cubs trade Hoerner in a deal for Castillo they’d be a contender for Bregman. If they don’t get Harry Ford in the deal though it’s not worth it. I’d rather have them pay for Burnes and keep all their prospects to use at the trade deadline if they don’t get Harry Ford along with Castillo. They have at least $40M to spend and still have money for deadline moves. You can get Burnes and another bullpen arm for that much.
When talking about Bo Bichette, I think the Giants are out. Giants just got Willy Adames and I just can't see them spending money on Bo. At the moment, I see pitching being the priority. I would watch out for the Dbacks instead of the Giants.
Dodgers just gave Teo's camp a ultimatum. The contract is on the table & it won't change. Either take it by Monday or they'll cut off all communication and pull their offer and there will no further talks period. Teo goes one way and the Dodgers move on. The Dodgers are saying this is final offer so take it or leave it. This is it ! Finally the Dodgers drew the line 👍
I think even right now so far this off season the American League is 1. Yankees 2. Guardians 3. Red Sox while in the national 1. Dodgers 2. Phillies 3. Padres
I wanted your Blue Jays prediction to fire Mark Shapiro & Ross Atkins. These Bozo's had everything going for them and they messed this up with the support of Rogers cash. BallCap Jim & I could have made the team at least win a playoff game as GM's.
The Jays can not trade Vladdy, the revolt from the fan base would be over the top including actions like changing my cell subscription. After last year this off-season is already pissing us off.
your absolutely right. ever since the Mitch White trade nothing has gone right. Manoah & Bo demise. being embarrased with top FA & now with Vladdy. What's next?
The second tier of FAs with the QO may not be worth the potential 500k of int spending before Sasaki signs...or 1m in some desired locations for these FAs. Not that it matters when LA has the lowest amount to spend and may be favorites.. perhaps the vibe is that LA isn't the favorite. Pivetta, Santander, Teo (could resign with LA at no penalty), Alonso and Bregman. Athletics weren't chasing Sasaki, so Severino is the only one who has signed. (And Manaea went back to Mets, no penalty) It's a clear divide between the quality of the signed and unsigned.
Such an exciting time for MLB with these remaining free agents in play. With that being said i have zero faith that the Jays will land any of them unless Shitpiro & Shatkins get aggressive & i will believe it when i see it as it hasn't happened yet. Idk what the Jays front office is waiting for the Yankees & Red Sox are signing players while Baltimore & Tampa Bay are always good. The Jays are waiting until all the good free agents get signed so they can sign old washed up jobbers like they did last off season. Loss Shatkins is an atrocious horrendous incompetent GM all he does is lose out on every free agent!
Giants offered a contract to Burnes... too little... Rangers have a high payroll and won't do it with the luxury tax. Toronto seems to be in its own turmoil, trying to extend Vladdy & Bo. O's ha e to be the team. Boras also gasses up teams to make it seem like the offers are "pouring in, w/ large $$ amounts.
such a cliche to use the "they are boys" as a factor for a player going to a certain team. In the end it's either money, comfort or a chance to be on a world series contender for a player to make their decision. Hernandez goes to Houston or stays with the Dodgers.
Teo to bluejays woupd have happened already if it was going to i feel. Easy signing to make as far as fit and familiarity. But again vladdy not signed is big issue. Vladdy probably told him im out at end of the year and going to the mets so dont sign !
As much as I’d like Burnes to resign with O’s I just don’t see it happening. Honestly it’s not such a bad thing as we need to resign a lot of our young position players. Signing 5-6 guys who play everyday is more important than one ace.
I think Profar should just go back to San Diego because if you look at his stats over the years, he usually does well in SD and not as well everywhere else lol.
Friars are cheap trying to trim the payroll and they can’t compete with the Dodgers for the next 10 years. Dodgers put a team with stars and are loaded with top prospects which Friars are not even 20% closer!
Cease, Castillo, and Flaherty are not worth the cost! O's should use: Kjerstad and Bradfield and trade with Miami for Alcantara, then trade with the Pirates Mayo for J.Jones and sign Mad Max/Morton for 1yr.
Jim curious why you don't have the Cubs as a likely or favorite landing spot for Roki. To be honest I feel like the Cubs are top 5 if not top 3 to land him. They have an incredible reputation with Japanese players, Roki would be able to cement himself as the star of the team while having Japanese veterans there to help him adjust, it's a big market where he will be able to get big sponsorships. Cubs make a ton of sense.
You gotta be off your rocker! Meyer will not be in the Starting Lineup for the Red Sox next year…unless I heard you wrong 😑 It’s either Campbell, Grissom, or an outside pickup for 2B.
Dude!!! I didn't listen to your video clip... "Updated Predictions? Really?? So, your saying your 1st prediction was wrong? Do you see how that sounds? SMH
Instead of including millions with Arenado, expand trade with Helsey. Possible include a bad but lesser contract. Example Arenado and Helsey to Dodgers for Taylor and Miller.
Are the Mariners going to do a damned thing this off season? Top 2 starting rotation and the offense can’t hit its way out of a wet paper bag. So tired of having worthless owners here in Seattle!
Other gms must be smiling at the thought of potentially dealing with atkins. Based on his record to date, he'll give away the best the blue jays have for almost nothing in return. atkins is the worst gm in the league! He and shapiro have utterly destroyed the jays. imo.
Alonso is going back to the Mets on a 4 year 88M dollar deal. I also believe that Sasaki will go to the Angels. To be honest I think the Orioles sign Profar to replace Santander.
I think Seattle is the only team that has a shot outside of the dodgers. It was Ichiro that was his favorite player growing up, not darvish. If he doesn’t go to LA why would you go down the street to a division rival where you’ll have to play the max amount of games against the current ws champs who will have his wbc captains for the whole time he’s in sd? And Seattle technically offers the shortest ✈️ ride to Tokyo.
@@williamarroyo1497 He was the second worst 1st baseman defensively last year and he has put on a good chunk of weight since he played 3rd. I know Muncy isn't great at 3rd, but I don't think Vlad is going to move back to 3rd at this point in his career. You could try to force it, but you'd be better off getting an actual 3rd baseman than paying top dollar for a bad defensive 1st baseman and trying to more him to a more defensively demanding position if he would even want to move back there.
Take the dodgers off Jim for profar be real
Hope dodgers sign him just to dfa him 🙂↔️
Its not going to happen but he just put them up there cause they need an Out fielder if they dont bring back Teo!
I dont understand how you can put Profar anywhwere but the padres. It just feels like he's born to play there.
@@connorharrison8093 maybe cause they don’t have any money? Even to sign someone like Profar. So you gotta weigh other options
The Giants already have Willy Adames
Thanks for letting us know lol
@@WeBeatMedicare6969 Apparently Jim didn't know.

Bo going to the Giants makes little sense with the Willy Adames signing. I think a trade to the Braves is more likely.
I would like the Astros to sign Anthony Santander but I don’t think it will happen
Why won’t it happen ? He’s a switch hitting 44HR OF and it’s exactly what they need. It will be him or Teooscar. Picture that line up
As a O’s fan I hate to see him leave. Whoever signs him is getting a nice addition to their team

Alonso is going back to the Mets on a 4 year 88M dollar deal. I also believe that Sasaki will go to the Angels. To be honest I think the Orioles sign Profar to replace Santander.
They signed Tyler O’Neill I don’t think they will sight any more OF I think they got one more pitcher in them
@williamarroyo1497 I forgot about that. Damn then Profar is possible anywhere
Skenes for Bichette 😂😂
Dude has the same 5/6 teams in in every player he takes about! 🤣🤦♂️
Yes I trade he going to go soon later to another team to a better one the end Blue Jays
HIT THEM LIKES 👍
Baseballs Deja vu. Boras clients will be scrambling for short deals come spring Training…Gotta do what Castellanos’ did, fire Boras.
Santander is going to the Stros
I highly doubt they go over the Tax.
@ depends on the moves that the rangers make or if we can move off press
I'm telling you the Texas Rangers is going to get Roki Sasaki in January 15
Hi Jim, you should include Mariners in Roki Sasaki Predictions.
🤣🤣🤣
I think Seattle is the only team that has a shot outside of the dodgers. It was Ichiro that was his favorite player growing up, not darvish. If he doesn’t go to LA why would you go down the street to a division rival where you’ll have to play the max amount of games against the current ws champs who will have his wbc captains for the whole time he’s in sd? And Seattle technically offers the shortest ✈️ ride to Tokyo.
Where would the dodgers put Vlad they have to have Shohei DH and Freddy plays 1st? S
3rd base for Vladdy he started at 3B
@@williamarroyo1497 He was the second worst 1st baseman defensively last year and he has put on a good chunk of weight since he played 3rd. I know Muncy isn't great at 3rd, but I don't think Vlad is going to move back to 3rd at this point in his career. You could try to force it, but you'd be better off getting an actual 3rd baseman than paying top dollar for a bad defensive 1st baseman and trying to more him to a more defensively demanding position if he would even want to move back there.
Dodgers have better targets then teo but they have respect for him he wants to stay so there waiting to see what he wants
Are you for real or just want to make this video as long as possible by bringing up so many impossible trades there?
Sasaki to the Mets.
3 of those 6 teams can’t afford vlad
# notification Squad
Vladdy jr in the angels please 🙏 haha
Pitt can't trade for a rental.
Saki already had a meeting with the Cubs so why wouldn't they be in your teams
Alonso stays ..nuff said
