The Tao of Stieb deals with the Blue Jays losing the Yu Darvish bidding. The 2012 Blue Jays were already an improvement over last year’s model. A full year with a focused Colby Rasmus, a bullpen that is a lot more settled than many of you give them credit for (Villaneuva-Perez-Litsch-Carreno-Janssen-Santos, with more to come), a full year with Edwin Encarnacion at DH (where he posted an .855 OPS last year), and a full season of Brett Lawrie is something that we want to see, and that we still contend can win 90 games without any further additions. I agree, this is an up and coming team. With the Yankees looking more and more like they’ll be on the sidelines through 2014 to avoid a 50% tax and a second wild card in the mix, now is the time for the Jays to make a run at the playoffs.

Touché, Texas Rangers. After a wave of press (that included Kevin Gray, who has been a solid source of Blue Jays information up until last night) linking the Toronto Blue Jays with Japanese superstar pitcher Yu Darvish, it was finally announced late last night that the Rangers had won the bidding to negotiation rights with a massive, $51.7 million bid. It was the highest ever amount...

So, Not So Much

Via Batter's Box  |  December 20, 2011
Well, unless you've been living under a rock, or couldn't access the site because tears of sadness crashed it, you now know that the Blue Jays didn't win the posting auction for Yu Darvish, as the Rangers bid $51.7 million, to beat the Jays by somewhere between $1 and $51.7 million dollars. Which, let's face it, kind of sucks. We can blame the team, although...
