The first time I saw this clip a few years back, this legit brought me to crying in hysteria, I laughed for a good 20 minutes watching it on loop, the poor bastard. 😅

I did say I have been wrong once or twice. Still in single digits though ;)

I've been waiting for the right time to use it.  It seemed appropriate.  It feels like we're cautiously hyping ourselves up for this - only for what we all expected to happen from Day 1, to actually happen.  Like hitting ourselves in the nuts.

Cleveland is covering $3.75MM of the $15.5MM that is still owed to Straw.

This seems like a pretty bad deal unless you know Sasaki is coming. That contract is terrible and for a team with limited $ to spend that’s not really a move you would make if you are trying to get better.

Yeah this is a move you make when Roki gives you a heads up that he wants to sign. If this is a move made with zero indication that Sasaki is willing to sign with you, then even with CLE eating money it’s questionable. Straw legitimately sucks, and he’s going to hurt the team on the field (defense aside). On top of that this org has been pretty suspect with international signings lately + development in general, so not sure having more of it will make a big difference. 

Hopefully, Ross knows what he’s doing here.

We better land Sasaki, because taking on 10+M for Myles Straw sucks

Straw counts against the CBT too

Sasaki is either a Blue Jay already or Ross Atkins gets a thrill from gambling

[BB17]

I still think it’s the Dodgers. Going back for a second meeting with players, while never meeting with any Jays players seems odd if he was going to choose the Jays.

Hope I’m wrong but we’ve seen this dance before lol.

Bigger issue is what would they be doing with 2M extra international money with most players already signing

I suppose the 3rd option is that Ross actually likes Straw lol

He'll fit right in as a good fielding slap hitter

The Atkins mocking if he spent 10M to not get Sasaki is going to be ruthless 

[Brownie19]

There is an INSANE amount of rumors and speculations surrounding the Blue Jays right now.  I was trying to explain it all to my 9 year old yesterday and it's crazy.

There should 100% be a documentary to dive into all the different possibilities in that are currently being considered right now.  I suspect it's very complex and interesting.

If this is Ross's last year in Toronto (which it probably is), then nobody is going to be able to suggest he just sat on his thumbs and didn't try to make sh*t happen.

To be fair - this is probably the level of risk that Atkins needs to take to right this ship and change the direction of this franchise.

If it fails, we're probably going to suck whether we have Myles Straw or not.

I just added him in the LOD!

Theoretically I don’t think the jays offering 2M more to Sasaki is going to sway his decision when he could have made like 200M waiting 2 years. 
 

Also you could offer him x amount of $ without making the trade for the $ space. So that part of me thinks it bodes well for the jays. However the cynic in me doesn’t want to believe anything until I actually see it lol.

Replacing KK was obviously one of the biggest concerns for Shatkins so he wins either way, its just the Jays fans that are losers lol

How does the 1M per year given by the Indians impact the CBT payroll?
