Good for the Dickman. Seemed like he was a good guy who would have liked to come back to the Jays based on his comments.

[Slade]

Damn I really wanted Dickerson back, the market for Left handed bats is pretty much nothing. I don't think Conforto is a realistic option.

Tyler Naquin is our man. Make it happen, Atkins.

Villar to Cubs!!!

Good!

Good!

 

You can say that again!

Wow surprised the Rays were in on Freeman $150 over 6, thats not like them.

[G-Snarls]

[Grant77]

 

Who needs defense? A third baseman that can't play third and two outfielders that can't play the outfield sounds like a recipe for success.

[G-Snarls]

100% confirmed that Correa turned down 10 years 275M from the Tigers

 

He may soon wish he had taken it

Superstar SS Trevor Story choosing one of 4 teams soon. Giants, Red Sox and 2 others remain in mix. Prioritizing winning. Apparently considering a short-term positional move, if necessary.

He's going to the Red Sox and will be a stud won't he?

I think Bogaerts leaves after this year if they move him off of SS for Story.

[G-Snarls]

Yes

 

Plesee go to Giants

[G-Snarls]

Well also where do they play Devers? Would they move eveyone to put Story at SS?

Bogaerts to 2B I would assume. Hernandez is best utilized as a bench player anyways.

[Laika]

I think Story to 2B for 2022, if they sign him

[Stangstag]

I think Story to 2B for 2022, if they sign him

 

Yeah definitely Story for 2B, then next year he plays SS if Bogaerts leaves.

 

Its even in the tweet, “considering a short term positional move if necessary”

[Grant77]

I think Story to 2B for 2022, if they sign him

 

I haven't seen a ton of Story, but he seems like a plus defender, while Bogaerts is generally regarded as fringe average.

[L54]

The chance Booger moves to 2B is 0%

[Stangstag]

The chance Booger moves to 2B is 0%

 

Yeah it would be especially scummy for the Redsox to force him to play 2B in a walk year

[Laika]

I just don't think Boston is moving the incumbent over. Easier to sell the new guy on playing the new position. Like Semien here...

[Laika]

I would characterize Bogearts more as AVERAGE anyway. Like, perfectly average.

[lovemyjays]

I can see the Jays being one of the mystery teams for Story.

They'd sign him to a 1yr deal similar to what they did with Semien last season.

Story saw the resurgence of Semien last season and what he was able to accomplish in one season with the Jays so that might convince him to sign here.

He'll also have a legit shot at winning the pennant if he joins us.

 

This would be Semien part 2.

[Ehjays]

I think Bogaerts leaves after this year if they move him off of SS for Story.

 

Its funny how they wrote that tweet up, I took it as saying... short term positional move, So if its Boston, that would mean he plays 2B this year and next year when Bogaerts is gone, Story moves back over.

I can't see the Jays adding amorher 25-30M a year player

 

Payroll already at 162M and the infield alrwsy looks very good

 

Need a LH bench bat and a back end BP arm and we're good to go

[Ehjays]

[Krylian]

 

Must be amazing to have that kind of payroll

[John_Havok]

Must be amazing to have that kind of payroll

 

It would be for sure. you never have to worry about mistakes or injuries since you can just buy your way out if you need to.

 

Not that the Dodgers make a lot of mistakes honestly.
