I think I wanna see the non roster invites just as much as the roster invites. Great time to be a Jays fan lol.

[Orgfiller]

I've heard reports that Josh Palacios was hitting a ton of atom balls at the alt site. Watch and learn folks.

[Jimcanuck]

I thought Jays cut Warmoth loose.

[Ray]

I thought Jays cut Warmoth loose.

 

Last I read, they were developing him as a utility player (INF/OF).

 

Of note, he had a good showing in Arizona Fall League in 2019, but I think he’s been all but written off as org depth.

Kirk looks like a 40 year old vetrin. Damn that hairline.

 

Hard to believe he just turned 22.

[TwistedLogic]

 

The f***. He looks incredible. Normally I'd be concerned about a player who's got a big power tool dropping a ton of mass but the kid is still yoked. Tree trunk arms.

Kirk needed to shed some pounds to prove he was serious and he did. He should train Vlad next offseason.

I like that silver workout shirt. Going to see if I can find it, unless the China man had it/or team had it printed

[dineke]

He looks not fat...? Could be because he's flexing and wearing a loose fitting t-shirt

He’s clearly still thick, I wouldn’t call it yoked...but dude seemingly is putting in the work. Hopefully it translates to success.

True...but when it comes to losing weight its always better to lose weight slowly. I doubt if he'll ever be slim, but carrying the correct weight for his body type is more important than being "slim"!

Being with the big club will be a lot easier for him to maintain his regimen for losing weight than in the minors on the long bus trips. I wonder if he got heavy due to minor leagues diet of burgers and fries or was he always this way?

Not speaking from a science standpoint as it’s not my field of education but it’s shocking how many pounds are in the belly. I’m someone that’s worked out all my life and I have the typical jock build but when I hit 30ish I started getting the typical post-prime belly if I go periods of not working out and watching what I eat.

 

I literally gain like 25-30lbs and in a loose shirt it’s hard to even tell, it’s nowhere else on my body. I think there was probably plenty of opportunity for Kirk to lose weight there and that wouldn’t really throw anything out of whack

[Jays24]

 

It's the damn baseball players and their wearing hats all the time. Your scalp needs sunshine lol.

*shrug* I've worn hats a LOT in my life, and I'm still full head of hair at 42... I mean, it's getting greyer by the second, but it's still there!

[King]

Tellez was at least in his mid 20s when that photo was taken. Kirk just turned 22. Worse hairline than Auston Matthews!

[wilko]

 

Jesus. I knew his hair was f***ed but I didn't know it was that bad. Time to call it a day and shave that to the pavement.

[Krylian]

Didn't he shave it at some point last season?

[wilko]

I think he did come to think of it.

[Laika]

Yeah he's on team bald now

And looks 100x better.

Holy crap... that's a lot of dudes at camp, lol.

Agreed. Male privilege rears its head once again.

[Jays24]

Baseball just has too many players tied to their organizations. Like it's not even close in comparison to other sports. Cut the draft to single digit rounds and have only 1 affiliated minor league team.

 

Flame away lol.

[Deadpool]

 

Once again nobody has the courage to wear 69.

 

COWARDS!
