Ed Rogers

Time to build a statue of him outside the RC.  Or switch his dad's out for him.🤣

Fans Should Cut Ed Some Slack

It's pretty crazy especially when you consider the exchange rate.

For what? Attempting to fix his own mistakes?

There is no doubt they are committed to winning right now 

Remains to be seen how aggressive they’ll spend but they have the ability to swim in the deep end and I imagine there is massive incentive to have a good team when it comes to tv viewership

Ed has got to extend Vlad.  Would be weird if we add another bat and excitement is through the roof all season but at the same time have the lack of a Vlad contract being a distraction.

Gotta tie up that loose end.

[Gen.Disarray]

Idk, I kinda just don't want Vladdy extended. He's a good player, sure. But just doesn't seem like a mega contract guy. If he were doing his thing from shortstop or centerfield, then by all means, back up the truck.

 

We know this organization is willing to give out some crazy deals, they've certainly tried. Yet they haven't done it with Vladdy and it's telling. Fun fact - every team to ever win a world series has done it without Vladdy. We don't NEED him. Would it be nice to have a guy like him locked up? Sure, but not for what he's gonna get.

How charitable of you. The team owner opens up the pocketbook to supplement his team and of course you are acting like it's a bad thing instead of giving him credit for finally spending like the big market team that the Blue Jays are.

I agree from a pure baseball standpoint but it’s also okay to just pay the homegrown talent and keep them in one jersey.

I'm cancelling my Bell Fibe Internet and going back with Rogers! 

[Jimcanuck]

This is gonna be the beginning of the end of the Roger's media empire

While I don't share the same opinion on not extending Vlad, I can see where you're coming from, as he isn't a premium position.  Heck after 2023 I wasn't sure whether I wanted him extended.

But after last season I changed my mind.  I just can't imagine him in another uniform, so I hope Rogers just ponies up for him.

I hear you, it would be weird to see him in another uniform. But it's probably just too much ponying for my liking. The hope for an extension, as opposed to a free agent contract, is some amount of "home town discount" or "shared risk" or whatever euphemism you prefer. But it seems he's giving the Jays no quarter.

If he's not getting traded, at this point, they might as well play it out, let him walk, back up the truck for Tucker and possibly circle back to give Vladdy a quadrillion dollars after finishing second for Tucker. Or just don't and let some other team sign his disaster contract.

I think the bat has the potential to be so elite that you don't care about the positional and base running deficiencies.  Big Papi/Manny potential.

Tough choice man, glad I don't have to make it. Your tune sure has changed on Vlad.

I still hate Vlad.  But I believe there's a pretty good chance his bat is elite.

[M.E.]

We extend Vlad or experience what the NY Giants fans are experiencing watching Barkley dominate in another uniform.

Ed Rogers is the man

Forget raising employee wages lets renovate the stadium and pump another 100 million into the baseball team’s payroll

[Jonn]

Rogers makes a metric f*** ton of money. I will give them credit for willing to spend a lot on the Blue Jays. Absolute horrendous company to deal with and they massively overcharge their customer base for what they offer. But so do most services in Canada.

Statue talks are a bit premature they need to actually do something first. The Ted Rogers statue has always been very cringe.

[BB17]

If the USD goes to 1.50 with the all the recent Tariff news the payroll could be over 400M CDN lol.

Still a drop in the bucket for Rogers. Ed Rogers alone has a net worth of 11.5 billion.

I was only joking about the statue lol.

Ted Rogers and his company is ass, but can't complain about their willingness to spend

Vlad another Carlos Delgado. We paid him to the max 20 years ago.
