It’s kind of hilarious that the team that was built around defense is going to be playing Vlad at 3B and Horwitz at 2B. Desperation is a stinky cologne. They’re clearly panicking
This whole thing has been so strange. Dude shows up in ST, casually hits a nuke off Zack Wheeler in his first AB, then stubs his toe on a bat and is never heard from again.
I don't see it the same way. I see a bunch of "glass half empty" posters who don't really take any abuse. Because the team is bad and glass half empty is a pretty obvious read of the situation. And then 2-3 dorks who have been making the same tired jokes since April at the expense of people who seem to have upset them by being optimistic about the Jays on a Jays fan message board.
The only teams that “sell high” are poor teams that need to constantly cycle talent because they can’t afford to pay them. Good teams get good players and then just keep them. Toronto should be selling because they suck, but a GM in this market will never sell good players when the team is actually good.
I'm going to start banning people for posts like this. Every time I log in it's the same 3-4 people bashing the same 2-3 people for not being 100% negative.
Atkins' motivations at this point are not aligned with the long term health of the team. Barring a miracle run, it makes all the sense in the world to move Bo and Vlad as part of a re-tool. But he can't do that.
McMahon is controllable for 3 more years, the Rockies believe every player they have is a super stud that can never be traded, McMahon is not that good, and Ross is probably desperate
I don't like this
You popping in to every thread to mock people for being happy about a win or trying to dunk on someone for liking a transaction is getting really f***ing tired. Every thread is the same rehashed nonsense at this point. Like, it's getting close to ban-worthy.
