Blue Jays sign Ronald Belisario and Ramon Santiago

You never know why guys back out. This was rather interesting:

You never know. They were both minor league deals, so after it came out that the Jays were nearing a deal, maybe the Rays quickly called in at the last second with a similar offer and said "well you can make the same amount, but instead come play for us where you'll get to hang out in Florida, pay no income tax, and play in a pitcher-friendly park".

 

It would be a dishonest reason to back out of a deal after committing to one, but I can see it happening. It's probably easy to pick the Rays over the Jays in a year where you're trying to build/rebuild value.

It's also possible the Jays doctors found something they didn't like.

Like I said a day or two ago, I don't see that as a possibility. You don't back out of a minor league signing because of a physical. If it turned out he was unable to pitch or something came up on his medicals, they could have just released him for nothing, or relegated him to AAA on the minor league portion of the deal, which would probably cost nothing.

 

Anyway, we already know that it was Belisario's camp who backed away from the deal, at least based on Wilner's tweet. Apparently he didn't like the "terms", which sounds kinda bogus if he ends up in St. Pete for the same amount.

Who's been to Thailand? Tranny homebase and ladyboy capital of the world. No matter how good you think your detector is, it'll lead you astray a few times.

 

I've been twice and I just simply refrain from looking at girls/boys/trannies/wtf ever they are. Head down and forget about it, it's much better then perving out on some guys ass thinking its a hot chick.

So, I was sitting on the bus the other day, and this super hot Thai chick got on... I thought to myself "please don't get an erection! Please don't get an erection!" but she did...

Terms might be things like opt out clause or what kind of promises they made him.

It's a bit misleading, they mean % of population with post secondary education.

It's good in some areas but bad in others.
