It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

8 years is f***ing insane. I don’t even understand how that was managed. But the market for Starting Pitchers is forever f***ed,

It seems more obvious the last 3 years that Shapiro/Atkins and their team is getting out maneuvered at every angle possible by other GM’s.

 

Bad decision on not extending Vladdy prior to this year, free agent market they have no game plan or risk taking and value everything wrong in terms of free agent player assessment and pricing! Not saying things aren’t overvalued right now but seems weird these two cannot for once be right or on someone and seal a deal period. Other agents are playing these two to drive up price for other bidders.

 

Plain and simple no one wants to come to TO and it is NOT about the money… It is about players internal and externally discussing in their circles that these two clowns have created an environment no wants to be part of, so attracting good free agents is impossible to sway if there is negativity about TO management.

 

Bassett isn’t wrong in his assessment, he just has the balls to state it knowing he wants out and to be traded so as to be on a winner moving forward in his walk year.

 

Watch Vladdy walk, fan base disgusted, attendance down this year and bext year and these two clowns canned by Roger’s Board of Directors!!!

Good post. I feel similar to you

 

There’s no reason to come to Toronto. Team is not good, farm is not good, two “best” players are about to leave and it’s in Canada

What cracks me up more though is how in the last 3-4 years Atkins speaks to the media as though he is so carefully scripted puppet acting like he is a corporate baseball savant that he purposefully talks in around circles and never answers any direct questions to the media.

 

He answers with nonsense replies giving no substance to anything of the question he is actually asked that when other GM’s and player agents are watching, they must think he is a complete f***ing idiot in how he is presenting himself to the fans and media.

 

The guy is a dead GM walking and make no wonder we cannot attract in big name free agents. He is dogmatic in his pride of defense minded players/ team he will not open the piggy bank to sign a free agent big bat so it shows he was wrong the last couple of years in constructing the hitless Blue Jays team!

 

We are so f***ed this year he is dreaming Bo and Vladdy will be MVP’s paper and save his GM ass!

The Rangers are acquiring corner infielder Jake Burger from the Marlins, reports Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic (X link). Miami will get a trio of minor league players in return, per Rosenthal (on X).

The Jays could use a bat like Jake Burger.

Seems at this point the GM is tripling down on Run Prevention and not willing to concede any mistake in direction. He’s made his stand and is ready to die on the hill. Let’s see

Cleveland is flipping Horwitz to the Pirates.

 

 

I feel strongly that the Jays should've made this deal with the Bucs. Than pass on the SP options and sign some power. Annoying.

1B Lowe

2B Semien

SS Seager

3B Burger

 

That's a lot of offense in that infield

 

I think Burger will DH a bit more than play 3B in Texas, but yeah definitely a very good offensive infield with some pop.
