I dont know that you could get anything at the moment for Santander or Berrios, and there is no point trading Hoffman and creating another hole you need to fill.
SS Xander Bogaerts signed for 1 years and 280m, and that hasnt worked out great.
I just think now that they signed Okamoto, Bo is a tougher fit than TuckerThings are quiet atm in Jays Land, but reading about how the Red sox top target was Cease and how Bregman called thier buff and signed with the cubs is good off season stuff.
my gut feeling meters for Bo/Tucker going to the Jays
Tucker 50%
Bo 20%Bo isnt worth $300m…specially as he will be a 2nd basement within a year.
Tucker; if he signs with the Jays it will be for too long and too much.
If he signs with the dodgers or mets, it will be short term but a higher aav with opt outs.I think the Jays miss out on both.
and maybe overpay for bellinger.Bo is drawing his line in the sand at 300 million because Vlad got 500 million. If he signs for 300 million over 12-15 years, it could be manageable. Spotrac has his value at 23 million per year so it’s not that far off but maybe they can talk him down a bit because they were so close to winning and how many friends he has on the team.
Tucker might be worth it on a short term deal that pays him big upfront while the Jays window is wide open. Spotrac has him at 39 million per year. If the Jays are willing to spend 39 more million, they might be better off with multiple players than just Tucker, especially because they still need a starting LHP and an elite closer.
If they can move Hoffman, Santander and Berrios for only prospects, that clears a lot of salary, about 35.5 million. I’d rather have Bo (plus another player) or Tucker for that 35.5 million than Santander, Berrios and Hoffman.

Bo 20%In fairness, the Dodgers didn’t have that either, and they just won the world series back to back. We’ll be fine. Let Ross cook.[/quote]
Ya the Jays were inches away from winning the World Series (heck one bad call away) all without their best hitter for 95% of the playoffs… but yet its time to panic, end of the world blah blah blah.
The pitching staff looks better, now they need another bat.In fairness, the Dodgers didn’t have that either, and they just won the world series back to back. We’ll be fine. Let Ross cook.
Ya I’m sure the Jays can trot out another Yamamoto on 0 days rest after 90+ pitches and get a close too, right?
Dodgers didn’t have it and still spent good money to lock one up. They’re actually thinking ahead.
Do the Jays have an elite closer that they can rely on to win Game 7 of the World Series with a 1 run lead in the 9th inning vs the 9th batter yet?
No?
Fantastic.
only 7 months to figure it out. panic!

Due to this being the 2nd year the Jays have gone over the luxury tax, they will be charged an additional 30% on top of their current $279m payroll.
If they add Bo or tucker, they will be charge another 60% on top of the 30% because they will exceed the threshold by $60m.This years Jays team could cost over $500m.
Something will have to give.
Berrios is out the door?yeah, right now to sign someone like Bo or Tucker it 90% tax
Tucker is a better positional fit at this point. But they would need some moves
