Awesome trade, Castillo for Merrifield

Biggio is not getting moved because Barger might be something If the Jays FO is confident that Barger or Lopez is at least as good as Espinal, Espinal could get moved. Quite unlikely

I can see Soto morphing into a 1B that hits 50 a year. He's only 23 still

I expect we will see someone the size of Judge or bigger come along, who stays healthy, and hit 50 every year for 15 or more years. A guy like ONeil Cruz, with a better hit tool.

Barger playing in the AFL, often a springboard for a MLB debut the following spring

what a frustrating player

That was overpimped

Yes, why not stretch out to a 2 inning guy throwing darts for the Jays? Anyway, he will on the team for the post season, def.

I see Nate as a potential Andrew Miller type, to come in for those starters that shouldn't do 3x through the order

He's schooled you, bruh

Grow a pair, Spanky

No surprise. Tiedeman is BA choice for the Jays MiLB player of the year: The Blue Jays wanted Ricky Tiedemann to pitch a full season in 2022 while establishing a solid foundation. The fact he accomplished that while dominating at three minor league levels cemented the 20-year-old lefthander as one of the organization’s best pitching prospects as well as one of the top prospects in the game. “We view this year as a big success,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said. "His slider improved. He competed well and attacked all year, regardless of level. We have been incredibly impressed with his work ethic, baseball acumen—and he has been a very good teammate.” None of that was a given for Tiedemann, a 2021 third-rounder from Golden West (Calif.) JC who spent last summer building up at the club’s player development complex in Dunedin, Fla. The physical gains the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Tiedemann made there led to a velocity jump that had staffers excited. But he had recorded just 38 innings in junior college before the draft after the pandemic spoiled his senior year of high school, so no one was certain what to expect. Tiedemann made 18 starts between Low-A Dunedin, High-A Vancouver and Double-A New Hampshire in 2022, compiling a 2.17 ERA in 78.2 innings with 29 walks and 117 strikeouts. With a mid-to-high-90s fastball, wipeout slider and solid changeup, he was every bit as overwhelming as the numbers suggest. "For him to do that, it gives a lot of credibility to his resiliency and his ability to handle workload,” said Matt Buschmann, the Blue Jays' bullpen coach and pitching development coordinator. "Crossing that threshold was a big deal.” While the organization didn’t have an innings target for Tiedemann, Atkins said player development staff set “guardrails” that led to a shutdown at the end of August to protect him from overuse. The idea was “to give him a jump start on this offseason” and “he’ll spend a good amount of time at the complex continuing to build strength,” Atkins said. That should position Tiedemann to pitch deeper into 2023 with fewer restrictions, something that could have him knocking on the big league door next summer.

f***, finish it already

Berrios or Strip?

Jays game strategy is to hit the ball to LF

Schwarb lol

Mariners have the payroll space and the motivation

Nice win c-pee. Try not to gloat too much

Guess Vladdy's weight at 30 yrs old. I'll start - 320 lbs

As the thread title states, Yahoo is s*****

Aging curve in effect maybe? I mean, does Soto look 23 to any of you guys.

if thats the case, no deal i cant see the jays doing more than 10

10 x 35M for Vlad? Seems a little high to me

Check your feelings and tell us who we get back.

I don't care, but I thought the whole reason for the rules in the first place was to encourage more posting, as opposed to less or people leaving BJMB altogether. Think big picture rather than swinging your dick.
