No. He's very good journalist

 

Tell em' Ang, bless man.

Hey Ang, hope all is good, we miss you not being around here as much. Wondering what the DR grapevine is saying about Wander. Asking for a friend.

[DigitalRock]

The cesspool known as twitter is saying the jays are now favourites to land Soto

One of the girls got angry because Wander cheated on her with another girl.

 

Everything will work out for Wander. He is negotiating with the girls.

 

Caminero is playing very very well in Lidom

Will he get back pay though

[Angrioter]

The girls will help him. He will pay bribes to them.

[L54]

Going to put on my tinfoil hat and say what if a Soto trade is the finishing touch on getting Ohtani to sign a deal

Are these girls 18 or 14

[glory]

I’ve said before I think the Jays will end up with Soto if they don’t get Ohtani so this doesn’t surprise me. Whether this particular report was a leak by the Padres to sucker the Yankees to offer more is also possible.

Good stuff. Common sense prevails in DR.

[Angrioter]

When the incident happened, they were between 14 and 15 years old. But that's been a long time since.

[Jays24]

There is no way we should be trading our best prospects for Soto if it doesn't come with an extension. I believe he said he's hitting free agency regardless so the trade price better reflect a dude who might leave after 1 season.

 

But I will still dream of a lineup with both Ohtani and Soto in it to the point I'll start playing MLB The Show again lol.

When they were 14 and 15 how old was Wander?

[Jays24]

Just gonna live in fantasy land and assume we get both Ohtani and Soto lol.

 

DH Ohtani

SS Bo

LF Soto

1B Vlad

RF Springer

CF Varsho

C Kirk/Jansen

3B ?

2B Biggio/Schneider

I think this is what the outcome will be. We get Soto…no way ohtani picks Toronto over LA imo. It’s just smoke and mirrors

[G-Snarls]

Can you imagine if Soto and Vladdy both had a 2024 for the Jays with no 2-3 month slumps for either of them?

[AdamGreenwood]

I'm going to throw up if the Jays trade a bunch of our best prospects away for one year of Soto.

No reason at all for the Jays to do this unless top managment has been given an ultimatum to win or else.

Atkins is in the same position AA was when he went all in during the 2015 season. I wouldn't be shocked to see some desperation moves from them since they could all get canned if they suck in 2024.

 

Let's just hope it'll be as fun as 2015 because that was my most enjoyable season as a Jays fan.

[Key22]

With Soto, we just have to offer more than a competing team. How many teams can afford $33m for one year of SOTO and who also feels they have a chance to win?

 

So for example - the Yankees are said to be in on Soto - so let's say hypothetically they're the only team in on him. Can we offer SD a package that beats the Yankees without giving up Tiedemann?

[Marew]

We are screwed if we don’t win in 2024/25 so tiedemann won’t be of any use anyway. Too bad it’s only one year because we will have ohtani for a decade.

[Jays24]

Maybe the front office said screw locking in Bo and Vlad... let's give Ohtani and Soto those contracts while they trade those 2 to fill out the rest of the roster with young controllable talent. Probably a stretch since those 2 will combine for a billion dollars. Edited December 3, 2023 by Jays24

Yes, yes it is.

The Yankees are at an impasse with a Soto deal because they don’t want to give up Thorpe. If they are requiring Thorpe from the Yankees, you can bet they want Tiedemann from us.

[L54]

I honestly don’t think Soto costs Tiedemann

[G-Snarls]

Same

 

1 year rental on a guy who turned down a 440M extension

Thorpe is nothing like Tiedemann? Dude?

[WryNGinger]

The Jay's only trade high end talent for players with term. I know it's the off-season but...?

 

So many threads just end up in back and forth semantics...which is better than nothing. Continue on my friends!

[The Cats Ass]

Sign Ohtani, trade for Soto and give him his extension. Then trade Vladdy for prospects to recoup the farm. Use Horwitz at 1B.

[MikeM3]

Might be better
