Looking forward to finishing 2nd with a slightly better offer than the team that signs him

They just throw Toronto around to use and abuse us, honestly.  Don't think much about it.

Did anyone think the Jays wouldn't be meeting with Skubal?

Just looked him up, and he's a California guy. We tend to do better with Florida guys. He's from the Bay Area and grew up an A's fan. I was hoping he was a Giants fan which might have instilled some deep-seated hatred of the Dodgers, but probably not.

He also married his high school sweetheart and has two kids, so you just know his wife is going to be pushing for him to re-sign with the Dodgers who will probably get him at a discount.

He did seem to like Detroit, though, and Toronto is a much better version of that shithole.

And who knows, maybe he's the one free agent in baseball history who actually wears the pants in the relationship?

Based on everything hes been saying, hes going whoever gives him the best contract.

Boras guys usually go where the money is, so if the Jays offer him more than the other teams then they have a shot, but I really don't think there's a chance this happens. I doubt the team has any inclination to significantly outbid the Dodgers and Mets (if that's even possible).

No harm in meeting with a top FA, though. Plus, Ross and Boras are BFF's now so probably talking about other players he reps as well.
