Jays sign IKF.... 2/15 LOL... F U Wacko!

[Terminator]

Isn't that what Varsho's for? Lol

 

Nope.

[Jays24]

No. When you have the DRS leader in the MLB out there, he isn't f***ing catching.

 

We're talking about being the 3rd catcher in emergency situations. It's not like he's our full time CF or something so might as well get some reps when he's sitting on the bench

[Jays24]

Signing Hader would probably be an October move

 

Sign Hadar and trade Romano/Espy/Varsho/+ for Roberts. Everything works out lol

IKF... man.

[Stangstag]

I don’t see why not. Mookie is an elite RF yet still plays tons of 2B and SS when needed. Varsho caught like 50 games in 2022. I think he should start 20ish games at catcher, especially now that KK is returning.

[Omar]

Is Atkins now going to go get Teo (or some iteration) and call it a day? Yikes.

Varsho is bad as a C

Guess they'd rather see Varsho on the bench rather than being the 3rd Catcher.

Schneider has been on record saying they have no intention of playing Varsho behind the dish other than a no choice emergency situation.

I know, I just don’t really understand that decision.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Why would you start Varsho at C when he is a worse catcher than Kirk or Jansen?? To get his big bad bat into the line up? Haha

[TheHurl]

Schneider has been on record saying they have no intention of playing Varsho behind the dish other than a no choice emergency situation.

 

And IKF would probably now be the Emergency catcher

[Stangstag]

If (more like when) one of them gets injured, Varsho should be the backup C with KK primarily covering CF. I don’t wanna see Tyler f***ing Heineman getting 2 starts a week again

[Carlos Danger]

Varsho is bad as a C

 

Since when? He was solid with AZ?

[L54]

Is there a move this year left that is an "October" move? Is giving some kids a chance and maybe trading depth not a potential "October" move. This team is as good as several players making improvments will take them. If they become a 117 wRC+ team with a repeat of their pitching numbers what are they? That probably makes them an additional +100 differential team. I mean that would be Texas offense last year with our pitching. It is probably the 2nd best team in baseball in that scenario. It is an all things going right scenario but that is still this teams upside

 

I’ve said the same that the balance of the season will depend on bounce backs from guys already on the team but there are still clear needs in an OF corner and DH/1B at bats

 

Guys like IKF and KK are valuable as compilers over 162 games. Floor raisers. They don’t have the same ability to impact the post season as they do over the course of the season

[Jimcanuck]

Since when? He was solid with AZ?

 

Was he? I've read otherwise

[Omar]

[Marew]

Assuming the IkF jerseys will be at a discounted price compared to the reg players. I would pay $40 if I could get a legit authentic jersey, signed by Bo or gausman or one of these good players.

[BCZ]

Wtf is this s***

 

Isiah Kiner-Falefa is trash.

 

Wow overpay!

[BCZ]

Thanks for nothing ShAtkins

[BCZ]

Imagine giving a turd $15M

[John_Havok]

Heineman was waived and claimed by the Mets so no chance of that either way

[Laika]

He's literally just a Merrifield replacement

 

About the same AAV

 

Except younger. Slightly better. Better roster fit given 3B acumen.

 

Hopefully other players keep him to 450 PA or less

[Jonn]

Another bench player that can’t hit. Exactly what we needed!

[Terminator]

Fans hate defense and their analysis is incredibly skewed because of it.

 

If we signed a 1.5 WAR 3B who was all bat and no glove for 2/15 everyone would be pretty pleased.

People want dingers. Not some nerd gobbling up all the balls.

[L54]

I’m shocked it took two years to sign him tbh

[Terminator]

Ross Atkins turning into Kim Ng by acquiring cute slap hitting infielders. Someone check his T levels stat.

That's my point. Take the wins however you can get them.
