    and it's not even like there have been a good number of warning track shots or just foul cranks this team is driving nothing 3rd last in MLB in barrel rate #26 in ISO #7 in MLB in oppo rate #24 in FB rate #3 in MLB in IFFB rate #28 in stolen bases I hope you guys like singles because that's pretty much all the 2025 Blue Jays know how to do.

    Even if he finally does turn into Miguel Cabrera (has serious work to do) from ages 27 on, there will be 7 dead years on the end of this deal. Ages 20 to 25 since 1970: Soto is #7 with 32.6 fWAR, Vladito is #75 with 16.9 fWAR. Four tenths of a win above Adam Dunn. 1.4 wins behind John Olerud. Good for Vlad for getting the best of Ed Rogers but man oh man. I guess the best case scenario here is something like Bryce Harper with PHI for the first half of the contract?

    Seems like his MO tbh .422 playoff OPS in their six losses as well. Big reason the team has been a wet fart whenever it matters.

    Just can't get over how poor almost every single Vlad PA has been Just pure guess hitting, with his timing and swing not working either

    Interesting how it hasn't happened. Big "press conference at 9" energy.

    Your $500m clown, ladies and gentlemen

    It's like Kirk is just too absorbed with the pitching game plan that he never has an idea of what to do offensively.

  11. Laika
    And the Jays are over .500 still, lol

    Ryan Jennings is maybe the most interesting P

    Brutal in a lot of ways Santander blows Kirk is lost again Vlad is a stupid hacker, waste of talent Little was pwning Winker then hung one pitch. Winker also clearly swung earlier so he had a nice four strike plate appearance. Springer should have caught that ball. Bad route cost them the game and hurt himself. Seems like a bad injury although I couldn't tell what he hurt. Nice to know Chad Green has... no role? Isn't trusted? I mean he does suck so that makes sense. We all know what to expect. The team does not have a plus offense so expect close games, and the bullpen is obviously mediocre at best so that's not a great recipe. Even if Wagner and Roden hit well all year, they aren't power threats so nothing much changes about the team and its flaws.

    Kirk you Jirk!

    Yeah the current core would be a much better "long term core" but that 2015/2016 trip is an exceptionally better "short term core" Need more star power to ever actually win though. Maybe it's Nimmala. Think about Vlad/Nimmala/Mystery Player being the championship core on a few years with Kirk and Gimenez as productive secondary dudes.

    This guy doesn't even have a GOOD approach at the plate some of the time, let alone an elite approach. Yes, when his timing is down he can cook hits and homers for months and be a top 5 hitter in the sport because hit natural hit and power tool combo is elite, but just look at his K rate right now. How many quality plate appearances has he had this year? Lots of wasted at bats. And he has of course had entire seasons where he never found that timing or dialed in his swing. Sigh. So many ways this deal can end up in a disaster.

    The Hoffman - Romano decision is looking solid so far
  18. Laika
    Outcome Matrix 1. It's not even true 😀 2. It's true but the value is way lower 🫡 3. It's true and it's $500m real dollars 🤢🤮
  19. Laika
    Or it's just not true. Dominican media have been leaking stuff like this for months.
  20. Laika
    It's not 1999. You can just measure the stuff of guys like Fluharty and Little and compare it to available free agents. They probably project better than the alternatives that weren't signed, or at least it was close enough to justify not allocating any additional budget to the bullpen. Flu is probably good. Now should he have been facing Juan Soto there? Different question.
  21. Laika
    Who geeeefs a fokkkk
  22. Laika
    Must win game
  23. Laika
    Sure I guess Could be $350m actual value but $501m on paper to make Vlad happy
  24. Laika
    I'll be physically sick if they do this
  25. Laika
    Might need to score here. Could be only chance.
