G-Snarls

It's what they do!

So anyway. Two more Blue Jays into the HOF. Love it!

Blue Jays, Wynton Bernard Agree To Minor League Contract January 24th, 2023 at 10:20pm CST • By Anthony Franco The Blue Jays are signing outfielder Wynton Bernard to a minor league deal, reports Robert Murray of FanSided (on Twitter). The 32-year-old will be in big league Spring Training as a non-roster invitee.

DFA still means they have 7 days to trade him or have him clear waivers before he's actually a free agent

Stealing all star third basemen from Oakand always seems to work out well!

Glad Buck is doing OK

Holy f***

Hits 28 RF bombs in his first year, most of them into the brand new "Sapporo VR enabled Mega Power Deck brought to you by Sony Playstation" in RCF . Powerful animations play all over Toronto every time it happens.

Was just listening to a spiel on defensive efficiency. Such a simple yet powerful stat. I would suspect the 2023 team to improve substantially in this ranking compared to the 2022 team: -

Teams that might as well Angels Red Sox Rays

Not soon enough to sign DeGrom and Boegarts man

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are no longer for sale

Particularly after the best one (Friedman) got away

Tampa does not miss Bloom or Montoyo

Mookie Betts part starting at 1:40 is particularly cringe worthy

Plus I'll order up a ton of oppo tacos from Bichette and Kirk

Varsho and Belt gonna rake at home

The US probably won't be as well rostered up as they could be Not sure the Angels and Rangers and Mets will be OK letting Trout, DeGrom and Verlander play in it

Yeah The emergence of Alcantara and Valdez has really changed the picture
