Nice potential bonus for the Semien signing that I hadn't thought of... he's never been tagged with a qualifying offer before. So if he hit's more like his 2019 self the Jays can tag him with one and get some negotiating leverage for an extension or get a comp pick back to replace the one we're spending on Springer.

Piggybacking Pearson with a Walker/Paxton/Odorizzi would be a waste of talent someone would be getting less innings then they should. Chatwood and Stripling are both long-men so one of them would replace Pearson if he were put on a shortened pitch count (80 pitches?).
I think we're getting 1 starter unless someone becomes super cheap. My guess would be Paxton.

Bullpen looks good... it'll have to be because the rotation doesn't look designed to eat a lot of innings (so multiple long-men in the pen is probably wise).
