I cannot see how they fit Alonso/Bregman/Vientos all in the same lineup with Lindor/Soto as DH options.
Maybe Bregman isn’t going there, or maybe they’re planning to move Vientos.
If they sign Bregman that pretty much means Alonso isn’t returning.
f*** it, play Vlad at 3rd fulltime and sign Alonso+Santander. The D won’t be pretty but the bombs will be glorious.
I wouldn’t say they’re f***ed, but they absolute cannot just “stand pat” and hope for the best.
Either gotta make a couple more SIGNIFICANT additions or start to offload expiring assets.
Piss or get off the pot.
This is starting to feel like last offseason again.
If we don’t sign at least 1 of the big bats to help out the lineup, (and I mean a 50 million + guy, not a 1 year deal hail mary) I’d consider this offseason a massive failure.
I honestly feel like the Berrios extension and him looking terrible the 1st year gave Shatkins a major scare and is a big reason they never extended Bo/Vlad.
Berrios was about as consistent as they come, and he turned into a pumpkin almost immediately. He’s been up and down since.
Vlad and Bo have not shown themselves to be consistent.
We absolutely need an everyday OF or 3B. Preferably both, but 1 is a must. Roden as depth is a better option.
If we don’t address either position its gonna be an ugly year of 2-1 and 3-2 losses again
It seems like the Jays strategy for improving baserunning has just been to take major risks, all the time. Except most of our guys are slow, stupid, or both so it doesn’t work.
Exactly. Unfortunately Bo and Vlad haven’t shown that they are cornerstone franchise players to build a team around.
They are more Luis Robert than Fernando Tatis.
