Tellez is getting raked on twitter for wearing a shirt that says Homeless

Yeah we did. I was never a believer but he looks great.

[Ex Player]

So are they gonna play a doubleheader today?? I don't see any confirmation on the schedule.

 

And wouldnt it make sense to restart play where they left off (in the 4th inning)??

Nevermind, leave it to Karen to find offense in the most innocuous places

Please Boxy. Think of the hobos.

I feel bad for homeless people. That doesn't mean they get monopoly on a word that can mean multiple things. The Jays are homeless. There's nothing inaccurate or offensive about that.

[glory]

 

Ugh.

 

Starting SS Joe Panik. Can't wait.

[Stangstag]

f***

[Stangstag]

Would be so great if Lourdes could take over SS while Bo is out... would allow Fisher to get everyday ABs when he comes back. Probably not worth trying it though

[BlueRocky]

Why can’t we have nice things

[Ziggyy108]

Trade deadline is in 2 weeks haha

 

How do you guys think Shatkins will approach it ...

 

Giles, Shoemaker, Bass, Panik are UFA's after the year.

 

I think the best route with Giles is to offer him the qualifying offer this offseason. He's not healthy enough to get any value this year. I don't think they will take the risk and extend him. If he accepts the QO we have him on a bloated one year deal. Not terrible at all for a guy with his upside. If he choses FA then they get a comp pick.

 

Shoemaker and Bass I could see being moved similar to how Shatkins have moved there vets on expiring contracts the last couple years (Joe Smith, Steve Pearce, Eric Sogard, Daniel Hudson, Josh Phelps, Aaron Loup)

 

Panik should not be in the big leagues

 

I guess Chase Anderson could be in the conversation. Maybe Dolis too. Both have options for next year if the Jays want them around.

[Laika]

Giles - they won't get offered anything.

Panik - nobody will want him.

Shoe - okay chance he gets dealt.

Bass - okay chance he gets dealt.

Shaw - small chance he gets dealt?

Anderson - small chance he gets dealt.

[Stangstag]

I don’t think any team is giving up any assets for this year’s deadline, would be extremely stupid. Maybe the Orioles and Angels would move pieces. Maybe

[LGBJ29]

What happens if the season gets canned in like three weeks because of another breakout or two? If there are no clauses in place I'd imagine teams aren't giving up anything more than scraps this deadline

[Laika]

Yeah I think most moves will be relatively minor. Toronto has no pieces of real value to move anyway

[G-Snarls]

Bichette needs to be OK

[Barkerfan23]

Bichette needs to be OK

 

ofcourse something has to happen to him in a game against Tampa

[THANOS]

Bo on 10 day IL

[Spanky99]

Bichette to the IL...

 

[Jonn]

Bo on 10 day IL

 

If that’s the case. They should seriously just punt this season. Just get the highest draft pick possible because this team doesn’t have a chance of winning without Bo.

 

Sadly we don’t even have any veterans with trade value. Possibly Shoemaker if he gets rolling. Probably should keep Shaw because he has another cheap year of control.

[Spanky99]

Montoyo's favourite joining team, I bet we see him pitch in this game.

I wasn't really pleased with the return for Josh Phelps. Eric Crozier never did much.

[Barkerfan23]

wow

 

even Spanky has turned his back on Montoyo

I don't think any team is going to take the Covid Championship seriously enough to trade anything of significance for a 1 month rental. Maybe best case the Jays can turn Bass or Shoemaker into Hatch part II, but without a minor league season, it's going to be difficult to even pull that off.

[dineke]

Boy do I miss the Donaldson/Bautista/Stroman/Reyes(?) days. Shitheads with fire that actually know how to play the game of baseball and give a f***.

 

would help if the manager wasn't dumb as f*** though. It's the blind leading the blind out there.

I think it's not the manager pretty much the entire management team
