If we had a healthy Ryu along with Gausman and Manoah there would be less pressure on Berrios. But that's not the case. There's a ton of pressure on him. We traded prospects and gave him a decent sized contract. Jays could really really use a solid few seasons from him.
Jerry Dipoto says he engaged the Jays front office right after the lockout this spring about trading for Teoscar then. Says they "came up short" with what the Jays were looking for in return. Still wanted him so tried again in the off season.
How many position players have had TJS?
I can only recall a handful, including Didi Gregorious.
No way they have Harper throwing from the OF in May but he might be able to DH?
Man he's been so good but also seems high risk for breaking down badly
Happy to have Bellinger on a short deal (what he wants) as long as the team recognizes you have to have solid offense from elsewhere. If he hits better than theast few years it's a bonus but you sure can't count on it.
OF defense with Bellinger in center and Springer in right would be a big improvement over 2022. Sorry Teo.
