Does he have anything left in the tank, he’s looked done before and had a great season 2 years ago. He’s also 40 now though lol

Send Vogelbach packing immediately

My 2 cents have always been that Votto didn't care to being a Blue Jay when he was actually good so I don't care to have him on the team when he's probably completely washed.

 

Now with that said, Turner is 39 so it wouldn't be the craziest thing for Votto to have a random bounce back season. Hopefully the Jays can determine things quick in Spring Training.

I love me some Votto. He’s my favourite player of all time and as much as I want him to now be a player for us I still want the best team going north.

Yeah same.

 

Its a whatever move

wdym "didn't care"?

 

he got his bag from the team that drafted and developed him

 

it's not like he was a FA and spurned the Jays

 

can't criticize a guy for securing his bag and showing loyalty

He had opportunities to be traded here but said he wouldn’t waive his NTC. Specifically said he doesn’t care about TO

I still remember his original comments, which were backed up by his actions. Apology was only because he got a lot of blowback.

 

Again, I don't hate Votto but I could care less about giving him a spot because it feels good. If Vogelbach is 1% better than Votto then I'm taking Vogelbach.

[Jonn]

Cut Vogelfat right away. Votto is f***ing here. I use to dream about this day a decade ago. Veteran presents off the charts.

I think the slow start Horwitz is having contributed to the Votto signing.

[RobinThicc]

Vogelback is way better than this old f***

[Terminator]

Vogelbach is gone. There is zero chance in hell he makes the team over a hometown HoFer and one of the best baseball personalities in 20 years.

 

Give Votto the month of April and see how it goes. If he sucks we can just move him to the Front Office or coaching staff and go with Horwitz.

Too bad they didn't get him a decade ago. This guys a washed up bum.

[BTS]

I can't believe the slander in this thread towards one of our great national treasures. If there's even a 10% chance we get something like Pujols' last run with St.Louis, you cut Vogelbach immediately to give it a chance

[Terminator]

The Turner/Votto DH platoon will combine for 80 years, 35 homers and incalculable levels of vetrin presents.

that has nothing to do with the Blue Jays

 

honestly Jays fans are kind of cringe for ever expecting Votto to have been desperate to come to Toronto

 

there was never a point where it made sense for Toronto to want to take on his contract, anyway

[Stangstag]

Most likely yeah. People are getting way too caught up in the name. Votto aint gonna sit on the bench for 5 days and come up with a PH homer. Voggie might.

Christ, you syrup suckers get votto on a minor league deal and you are still miserable.

He publicly trashed canada. He’s a converted American at this point. Who cares.

It was refreshing honesty. Why would anyone expect him to care about James Paxton throwing a no-hitter or whatever?

If we were talking about replacing prime David Ortiz with Votto I would get the concern from all you no-fun buzzkills.

 

But we are talking about replacing Danny Burgers lmao

I’d rather have Danny B

[BTS]

Even Twitter is basically unanimously supportive of Votto in the replies. Twitter! And Yet BJMB are a bunch of butthurt losers.

Ya so now it makes perfect sense to take him on when he's completely washed up at 40.

 

Again, I'm impartial and only want him on the team if he outperforms his peers. I care about this team's Wins and Losses total... not a feel good story.
