5000 tickets for every game the rest of the season = approximately $10M and about $15M per year. Fans throw around $10M suggestions when signing players all the time...but freak out about attendance. it's not the biggest factor at all.

Nice trade offer Connor. I love trades that there is zero negotiation even if it was an overkill trade for me. Never owned pitching before this year, especially a quintet like Verlander, Sale, Morton, Bauer and Darvish. Now need to channel J4L19's trading addiction and rebuild the decimated offense.

BTS, meet Wellington Castillo. Now watch it be ignored as a one off, cause it's only Wellington Castillo

The good news is that the players can choose not to be out there.

I'm not a believer in snap decisions but I kind of agree here. I don't care if it's a hot dog guy. I want to hear that they were pissed and randomly fired someone.

There has to be another pitcher with baserunning skills. We need black relievers.

I feel like the Jays owe me money right now.

There is lots of reasons to DFA morales. That is one for sure

ugh...Hate that call by Rivera.

$35. It was +6.05. I haven't been gambling well of late (down about $600 in May) said I wouldn't be betting anymore. But being only $5 it seemed acceptable.

You should have been banned the minute a mod saw your misspelled SN.

I just made a live bet on the Jays. I don't know why I have a good feeling but I do

80 games for Wee Welly!

Do not bring out a guy for one batter. This is just stupid.

Someone has to explain to Buck what a DH is.

Simmons is completely a different hitter than what he once was. urshella, you have one job!!!

His best three year stretch for the Jays Carter put up 9.5 fWAR over 2050 PA's (before putting up 5 negative fWAR seasons). Some Blue Jays Comparables. Jose Reyes 2 years (1050 PA's) 6.3 fWAR and run out of town Alex Rios best three years 14.2 fWAR (run out of town the next season). Shannon Stewart best 3 years 11.7 fWAR (run out of town the next season). Kevin Pillar's first three full seasons (1825 PA's) 7.9 fWAR Vernon Wells last three seasons before being run out of town 4.7. His best three year stretch 12.9 fWAR Yunel Escobar's 2.5 seasons in Toronto (1500 PA's) 6.3 fWAR One thing I will say for Carter is that he played in an era where they would never move an athletic guy like him at DH, so some of his negative defensive seasons could have been reduced. If I had to name the 10 greatest Blue Jays (during their Jays tenure) of all time Carter is not on it. I'm not certain he is on my Jays all-time OF top ten (Bautista, Wells, Moseby, Barfield, Bell, Rios, Stewart for sure ahead) Essentially Jays have a history of running people out of town at the first sign of struggling no matter how good they were prior...unless you hit a huge HR.

Rays are the one team that can do it with zero consequences, I mean what is going to happen...the fan stays away? I am pronouncing it Adams. I don't give a s***. It's only spelled that way because some doctor or nurse in the Dominican made a spelling error. It's the same reason that there is an 'o' at the end of Ang's name.

I actually like Lourdes a lot...but it's not like you can say "why did they send him down?", and not factor in that he didn't help the team when here and he struck out 8.5 times more than what he walked. He has to put up better power numbers (or prove to be a BABIP beater) to counter that he's never going to walk.

He was half a win on the negative. I mean people expect them to dump Morales and his $11M (as do I) but Lourdes was just as bad

He was given an opportunity to play everyday to start the year but he wouldn't sign. It's not like he's making a mockery of the minors and he started last season so poorly that he played himself out of a chance to play last year (no one was calling for his call-up when he had a sub .650 OPS in June). The Rays made a smart financial decision on a player that projected to be a slight upgrade over the first 40 games this year.

So Alex Bregman without the top of draft hype.

Super two calculations must be completed.

Fair enough I thought those were sealed. I should have researched more instead of reading the Oregon St. coaching version
