Im saying I don’t give a s*** that its Joey votto, he’s dogwater at this point. Vogelbach would be a much better bench piece. Look at any projections.
End of the day its the 26th spot so really who gives a f***.
Most likely yeah. People are getting way too caught up in the name. Votto aint gonna sit on the bench for 5 days and come up with a PH homer. Voggie might.
Yep, biggest hurdle would be a stadium. I do think they could support a baseball team. But for sure the other major sports there are… not doing well. Grizzlies obv, and the Whitecaps FC attendance is pretty bad.
I wasn’t old enough to ever watch the Expos, but as a Jays fan I think it would be great to have a 2nd Canadian team.
I feel like Vancouver would be a better spot though. Huge asian community, and the Single A team there draws very well from what I hear.
Yeah definitely seems that the Jays don’t like the idea of opt-outs and uncertainty. Its why they’ll sign guys like IKF to 2 year deals and trade for guys with guaranteed control. Or pay higher for a 1 year deal (Turner, Belt, Semien, etc.)
