WHIPPER
ParticipantDo 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!
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.

ParticipantDue 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

Berrios is out the door?They have to get rid of Santander and Berrios, that clears a lot of space to sign somebody more useful.

ParticipantI think it reduces the chances a little on Bo, but I guess have to make the moves when they present themselves.

ParticipantProbably takes them out of resigning Bo and maybe signing tucker.
