OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Should we be in on Rafael Devers if the Giants are dumping?

2025 is a little difficult with Springer in the DH spot, but going forward its a pretty easy transition

VS RHP

Clement 2B
Guerrero 1B
Devers 3B
Springer DH
Kirk C
Okamoto LF
Varsho CF
Barger RF
Gimenez SS

Lukes
Sanchez
Valenzuela
Schneider
Straw

vs LHP

Clement 2B
Guerrero 1B
Devers DH
Kirk C
Okamoto 3B
Springer RF
Varsho CF
Schneider LF
Gimenez SS


It requires Devers 3B, Oak and Springer in the OF, on the surface you probably have to trade one of Lukes/Sanchez in the deal, but i would keep at least one of them in the lineup and be giving many guys proper days off
 
Hates shmate. We need a big bat.

I think Devers would be a killer here. He’s always killed the Yankees. And I’m sure he’d kill the Red Sox too.
 
Rafael Devers has historically been a major threat against the New York Yankees, batting .269 with 123 hits, 31 home runs, and 78 RBIs across 122 regular-season and playoff games in his career. [1, 2]
His complete career hitting profile against New York breaks down as follows:
  • Batting Average: .269
  • Hits: 123
  • Home Runs: 31
  • RBIs: 78
  • Runs Scored: 79
  • Slugging Percentage: .533
  • On-Base Percentage: .348
  • OPS: .873

Overrated my ass. He’d probably be really good here.
 
Career 125 WRC+ (counting from first full season - 45th)
127 WRC+ past 3+ years, tied for 10th in HR

Giants would have to eat a chunk at that price for me to be interested tbh. I think that contract can get ugly in a hurry. 28.71 AAV until 2033.

Devers is a dogshit 3B though. He's basically a 1B/DH at this point, which I'm fine with considering how good his stick usually is, but that would be a lot of money to tie up at 1B/DH.


Adames instead pls.
 
No to Bo as well fwiw. He's not a SS, and Okamoto probably gives similar value over the next few years at 3B for like 1/3rd the money.

Our pretty obvious places to improve right now are Gimmy at SS, Varsho looks to be declining in CF right in time for free agency, so this is an ideal time to move on from that, and one actually good corner OF that can bash wouldn't kill us either.

Yeah i should have been more clear that Devers at 3B is more of a break glass emergency thing.

I'd love them to be interested in Adames, but i suspect they legit like Gimenez

The dream is Buxton, if he's willing to waive.

I'd empty the coffers
