Either way, a shortened season could make things very interesting for a possible Blue Jay postseason run if the season does indeed get off the ground.

I think it's fair to say that the Jays will make a play at Betts. Whether the offer would be considered acceptable is a different story, but assuming the rumours of a tabled offer to Gerrit Cole were true, then it's likely safe to assume that Betts would interest the front office as well, and they have the financial flexibility to make things interesting if they choose to. If that happens, the playoffs will be easy to make.

Here's Ross Atkins talking about the draft haul and process. I enjoyed this. https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/lead-off/ross-atkins-drafting-austin-martin-blue-jays-competitiveness-short-season/

Steal.

Frasso on the mound: https://www.mlb.com/video/2020-draft-nick-frasso-rhp?t=mlb-draft https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/271/025/59a.gif

From BA: 107. Nick Frasso Loyola Marymount, RHP Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 21.7 Frasso impressed with four scoreless innings in his lone start for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team last summer. He entered this spring considered a potential first-round pick, but he failed to get through five innings in either of his first two starts before being shut down with forearm tightness. Frasso is one of the most athletic pitchers in the 2020 draft class. He was a high school basketball standout capable of throwing down emphatic dunks, and he still has a basketball build at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds with room to fill out. Frasso still has a relatively fresh arm due to his two-sport background. His 92-95 mph fastball plays up with both a high spin rate and plus extension, and his high-spin slider gives him a second potential plus offering, although it is inconsistent. His changeup is rudimentary but flashes average potential. Frasso locates his fastball to both sides of the plate and fills up the strike zone. He projects as a plus strike thrower overall. Frasso checks a lot of analytical boxes with his spin rates and extension, while traditional scouts love his athleticism and projection. He is in second-to-third-round consideration on talent, but concerns about the health of his arm may drop him lower.

I doubt we could afford him at this point.

Damn, there goeth my lad.

Trent Palmer.

Alex Santos II? The f***. That should be a Jr. label.

46.

You missed the joke. That particular intro says, "from four guys who have never contracted gonorrhea, you're listening to the Radio Scouts Podcast with John, Mike, Andrew, Alan, and Nick", which is five people. Thanks for listening!

This was the comedic gold this night needed!

That was a good year.

Let's see if we can summon TL!

Keith's latest mock draft:

Longenhagen's penultimate mock was released today. The final one will be Wednesday morning. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/mock-draft-2-0-2/ He has Meyer to the Jays as the 'heavy favourite' at this point, with Veen and Gonzo also in the mix.
