Wat?

[bones10]

Wat?

 

Pillar sucks and its cringy thinking that the organization is trying to put him as one of the faces of the team

[Captain Adama]

I'm so f***ing sick of the constant back to back WS promotions. It's been done to death.

I'm replying to your original comment, not what you think is cringy. You don't seem to understand what below replacement value is, he's been well above replacement value.

I want the towel, the sunglasses (though being on a school day I guess they might be for kids...), the Star Wars toque, and that alarm clock.

I think I read before that they were considering selling it to an affiliated entity or something, which would take it off Rogers books while allowing them to invest more in the team. I hope it's not sold to an outside interest though, because Rogers offers us really great ownership stability.

Wasn't it MLSE? That was quite a while back, though.

There would be some big benefits to selling the team from the Blue Jays perspective. They could put the TV rights on the open market and get a pretty big chunk of $. Plus they could sell the naming rights to the stadium.

 

I hope the new owner is hands off though and lets management do their job. Last thing we need is a Eugene Melnyk or Peter Angelos.

Who can you sell the rights to? American advertisers don't give a s*** about Canadian viewers. Leaving Bell and Rodgers to probably cheap out and split a TV package.

Just read morrow got a 2/21mm deal. Amazing that guy came back like he has. Really happy for him. Always had the stuff. Injuries and command issues. He looked great last year. Good for him. Will always remember that ball bouncing just past Hill to lose his no hit bid. What a game he threw.

According to multiple sources all 30 MLB teams are expected to receive a payment of approximately $50 million dollars in the first quarter of 2018 for the previous sale of BAM. #MLB

[Shart]

BAM...what is it?

[jerb]

BAM...what is it?

 

It's the streaming media unit created by Major League Baseball. Disney bought a large share of it:

Time out. Is this jerb's first actual written post? I thought he was some fingerless mutant who could only communicate via twitter feeds.

Boxcar trigger warning: It looks like the Blue Jays are hiring a woman as their head athletic trainer.

Nikki Huffman. She's been with the Jays since 2016 as a Physical Therapist.

She's already has a lot of board fans from being conventionally attractive. No one is going to have a problem with this.

She also is the one who worked with Stroman at Duke in 2015 to get his knee back in shape in record time. Seems like a good choice for the job.

Yup, she headed the high performance team.
