[@evanw3186]

As a Jays fan, your ranking is pretty fair. They did lose Semien and Ray, which obviously sucks, but I do think they have improved because a full season with Springer and Chapman will hopefully replace the lose of Semien, and a full season of Berrios and Gausman will replace Ray. They got some bullpen arms with Garcia, some minor league signing like David Phelps, and with a full season of Pearson and Merryweather the bullpen has good potential. They also have a full season of Rogers Center which is a big gain. As long as they are healthy this team is dangerous. I'm looking forward to watching this team for many years to come!

I think we can guarantee the jays will be better next year than last year. However you can’t include full seasons of Berrios and Springer in the grade bc those weren’t moves they made this offseason. Same goes for the players/prospects already in their system. I only wonder how playing at home and not minor league fields will affect them.

[@Arden2000]

A lot of their big moves were essentially replacing guys that walked in FA (Gausman Chapman and Kikuchi to replace Ray Semien and Matz) so its debatable how much better they got. But they were also already I think 1st in the AL in OPS+ and 4th in ERA+ so in theory they should be a great team regardless

[@RV1AND]

Zaidi has real confidence in his ability to construct a very good lineup without spending a ton of money/prospects even when things go wrong such as underperformance and injuries. I'm very happy that he focused on the pitching side this offseason because it's much harder to fix problems with the rotation once the season starts. The early season will be about getting Bart, Estrada, and Dubon reps because if one or more of them can break out at the plate this year it makes lineup/roster construction SO MUCH easier.

Thank you brother. Good video!

[@junglestile]

I'm a KC fan, and I understand why you gave them a D. What you need to understand is that we are bringing up a lot of our kids from the minors this year; Witt Jr, Kyle Isbel, Nicky Lopez, Olivarez,... Along with our young pitchers, some of whom got a good taste of the majors last year; Brady Singer, Daniel Lynch, Kris Bubic, Carlos Hernandez, Jon Heasley, Jackson Kowar, Joel Payamps,... And with all those young arms, that's what makes the Grienke signing so good. To be a mentor for all these young guys. This is how the Royals rebuild, as they did the same thing back in '12, '13, '14 and won it all in '15. This will be the year KC fights for a .500 record. Next year fight to try and get a WC. In '24 battle to win the division and then that's when you'll see the Royals make some moves to push for another WS in '25, '26, and '27. Then they'll lose a lot of guys trying to cash in, just like Hosmer, Moustakas, Cain, Johnny Cueto, Edison Volquez,... And the next rebuild will begin. I'd like to hear your thoughts on my thoughts..? Thanks for the content!

[@benblair582]

Braves also brought back Eddie Rosario. Big time move for the lineup, especially when Ronald comes back. That lineup will be dangerous when Ronald returns and Ozuna can move to DH

[@HRMFireSquad]

Thanks for the Rangers love bro!

[@gordonfan291]

I didnt mind what my Halos did in the offseason for pitching in all honesty. In 2021 the main issue overall with the roster, as it has been for basically the last decade, was the depth because we had so many injuries. Jose Suarez made some solid strides in 21 and hopefully continues in 22, Patrick Sandoval just has to stay healthy, Ohtani if he remembers he doesnt have to throw 100 in the first inning and goes 7 innings more often then he goes 5 will be good to go, Syndergaard and Lorenzen are the "untested" pieces since Syndergaard has been injury prone lately and Lorenzen hasnt had the chance to really be in the rotation FT in Cincy, and Detmers just needs to be serviceable in that 6th spot in his first full season after getting a taste of it last season. But again thats if all 6 of those guys stay healthy and we get 130+ games out of both Rendon and Trout this year

But can u really blame the dodgers for not matching that offer for max I mean come on the guy is what 39 signing a 4 year MASSIVE DEAL he will be well past 40 when all said and done and I would love to see him do what he did with my dodgers but I just have a hard time see a 39 or whatever SP being dominate at that age for 4 years or even 2 maybe get 1 good season out of him which I hope I'm wrong cause I've always liked him even before he was a dodger

[@twalker294]

As a lifetime Rangers fan I approve this video ;-)

[@henry8432]

As a Padres fan, I realized our offseason additions were pretty underwhelming. We have some more pitching depth now and I like the idea of taking a chance on Voit, but we didn't address the OF situation (which we need to do really badly). With that said though, out biggest additions of the offseason weren't directly on the field. It was with our Manager and coaching staff. In addition to Bob Melvin (one of the best managers in the league and the best choice they could have gotten) we also got Rueben Niebla from the Guardians as our pitching coach, an analytics guru in Brdar as our hitting coach (who worked with the Giants last year), brought over a bunch of the coaching staff that worked alongside Melvin in Oakland, and on a smaller but still interesting note, we have Mike Shildt (the manager who got the Cards to win 16 games in a row and who we almost hired as manager) working with the team in player development this year. I know these videos focus on the actual players on the field (which makes sense) but I think thing like getting a new manager and an improved coaching staff should also be taken into account, especially with a team like the Padres that desperately needed it.

[@henry8432]

It's still hard to say our team got much better this offseason and it was still pretty lackluster overall, but I don't think we got any worse either. We're running most of the same team as last year (who spent the first half of the season well above .500 before a late season collapse) but with an experience Manger this time around, and a lot more pitching depth too (something that was a big problem for this team last year). Our pitching acquisitions are also a bit risky and our pen seems to lean more towards quantity then quality. But we at least have some more depth added there and between that and the manager/coaching moves, I think that should bump up the Padres to a C. Trust me, I'm not trying to be too biased here. I was disappointed with the lack of player moves as well, especially with not addressing left field. But I just think that things like manager/coaching moves and pitching depth should be taken more into account with these kinds of videos, but that's just my two sense. I still enjoyed watching the video regardless though. 👍

I feel like everyone is giving the Guardians too much grief over their off season. Everyone knew they needed to improve the outfield and really the offense in general and reliable sources that cover the team confirmed they did attempt to make some big trades but ultimately couldn’t get them done for different reasons. They were never realistically going to go after the top guys on the market and people are mad they didn’t sign guys like Joc or Pham but if those are your “big move” then I don’t blame them for passing on them. I would rather see Steven Kwan and Richie Palacios (and maybe even Oscar Gonzalez if they can get him on the 40 man) getting those at bats in the outfield over the season and find out about them until Valera gets his call up. Same goes for the infield. Give Bradley and Naylor their shot at first and figure out if Miller, Chang and Gimenez can be at least a utility guy before Arias, Freeman and Rocchio move up and take over later this year or next. Then next year is where they should be looking at filling the holes left over. Granted they are prospects but most of the big names were in AA last year and their explosive offense is what carried them to the championship. Maybe it works out and maybe it doesn’t but I think giving them an F just because they didn’t make a big preemptive move a year before they are ready to really compete is short sighted.
