Ohtani Thread - Special Sheriff's Edition (Update: confirmed going to the Dodgers)

[The_DH]

Ohtani is not following some teams rehab plan. He's following his own rehab plan, and every team in their right mind is going to give full autonomy over the process.

 

It's what will make the decision. They probably discussed a rehab plan and whoever comes up with the best plan will be a HUGE part of the decision.

[Jimcanuck]

Sure hope they get Ohtani. Have tix for Jays and Yankees in April. See Soto, Judge, and Ohtani in the same game would be a treat.

[Jays24]

So it's the Jays high performance departments fault that the tubby crew can't stop pouring sugar and carbs and calories down their gullets?

 

That's on the players, not the Jays.

 

It's a f***ing joke... stop getting your panties twisted man... so defensive for no reason... are you related to Shapiro or Atkins? Lol

Not sure but i heard it was some guy who benefiitted from AA's work and still uses it as his best achievement as a Blue Jay

A little birdie told me an Ohtani decision could come Friday night (but the general range is 24-36 hours). "More than likely Friday night" is what the team was told for now. The Jays believe it's down to them, Dodgers, Angels and Mariners and that they've offered the most, but aren't sure if the other teams have their final offers in yet. Front office vibe is cautiously optimistic. Nothing else has happened yet because they had a singular focus on Ohtani, pivoted to Soto for a bit and then went back to all in on Ohtani.

 

After the pitch meeting at the complex, they felt they had done all they could do there and began looking at other needs. Originally they were in a purely wait and see stance with Ohtani but they are at the point now where they feel ready to become active on other fronts. LaCava's team was asked to bring reports on 3B, RP, OF and lefty utility and that was worked on yesterday.

 

Chapman is the only pending free agent they're considering bringing back, they feel Schneider, Biggio and Orelvis can replace the others. Looking to patch 3B/RP via trade but could consider a bigger name for the OF. Earlier off-season conversations included Bellinger, Candelario, Rosario, E-Rod, Miley, Joc, Frazier, Gurriel, Teoscar, Brantley and Lane Thomas. Thomas is one of the names that has resurfaced again in the new phase of discussions and was discussed heavily at the trade deadline. They came very close to reacquiring Teoscar at the deadline as well. Not sure if he's back on the radar now but other names to come up along with Lane Thomas since yesterday are Tyler O'Neill and Soler.

 

Padres inquired about Vlad early on in Soto conversations and Jays immediately shut it down. When asked who else was untouchable in a Soto deal, Tiedemann was on that list. Package would have been built around Manoah.

 

The reason there was so little information on Ohtani is because only a very select few of the most senior execs knew anything. Shapiro, Atkins, Starkman and Colabrese obviously among them. Beyond that small group, even upper level front office people were kept completely out of the loop to the point where even they didn't know where Ross was when he did his press conference. Upper management wasn't briefed on Ohtani until this morning and that's where most of this was shared.

 

Also, Yamamoto has personally requested a meeting with the Jays and according to the source, that's somewhat unusual and that these types of requests are usually extended by the teams.

 

Won't know until it happens how accurate any of this is but the person has never had bad information before.

What's the point of having this high special "high performance department" when players aren't taking full advantage of of it and using it?

 

Everyone on here making it seem like the Jays are the only team with a "high performance department" and "pitching lab" lol. Every other team has something similar.

Why are we not allowing a solid poster like Twisted back. This sounds like an ego thing by a mod. Drop the egos guys and let him back, Not sure what he did but it cant be any worse then what we put up with in s***** posts each and everyday (mine included) but giving an old timer a perm ban is just stupid. What makes it worse, is you are actually replying to him knowing he has this second account. This years draftee signings thread was horrid when he was here it was all laid out nicely on a spreadsheet always updated with links etc.I didnt always agree with his opinions but he added quality stuff to the site. You also have the option to use your "ignore" button. Drop the egos and allow him back. I call for one of 2 things...add him to be back as Twisted Logic or perma ban me as well. Your choice.

What did he even do that resulted in a permanent ban?

Think the majority agree with this. It's the same keyboard warriors who run this place like China that probably won't lol.

This would be a great point if the singular reason the high performance department existed was strictly for getting fat players into shape in the offseason. It's too bad the department does absolutely nothing for load managing and injury management for the team's players, they should mothball it immediately.

Didn't the Sheriff have something to do with it?

Absolutely he was a very solid poster that provided a lot of unique content to the board.

So none of the Jays players are using it or taking full advantage of it then? Is that your stance?

The rest of the bjmb waiting to see if Ehjays name turns red.

Are the Jays the only MLB team with a pitching lab and high performance department?

lolll

Vladdy, Kirk and Manoah for sure weren't using it.

[jaysblue]

Stand with Ehjays!

[Jays24]

For the record, I do think the Blue Jays invested 100M or something and probably have the best facility in theory.

 

Now how they use it is another question that no one will know unless you work for them. If it's anything like how they pull pitchers out of playoff games then it's probably a disaster lol.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Vladdy, Kirk and Manoah for sure weren't using it.

 

Yeah, I got that. So three fatties don't take full advantage of it and the jays might as well scrap the whole thing then right?

 

Because "what's the point of having it" right?

[max silver]

Are the Jays the only MLB team with a pitching lab and high performance department?

 

What:s your point here exactly?

I know. You'd think they'd have four of their SP make north of 30 starts this year.

From what I remember, I said something like "I guess the mods finally did their job" (you know, as someone who is a mod on other sites and is met with the same expectation, lmao) when an out of pocket comment posted by someone was finally removed. One of the mods got really mad that I used the word "job" (taking it literally) instead of duty or responsibility or whatever, freaked out that this isn't their job, and gave me a permanent ban, lol.
