  1. Just the perfect 2024 2025 Blue Jays inning right there Vlad looked great in his first $500m plate appearance
  2. Deep breaths, Laika. It's not your money. Deep breaths. The AAV isn't really that horrendous for a high payroll team. Relax. It's Correa, Burnes, Cole, Strasburg money. Ed Rogers got bent over and gave the player too many years but who geefs a fok about 2036 anyway? Think about it like Ed Rogers getting finessed 11 years from now. Calm down, Laika.
  3. If Vlad doesn't homer tonight I am buying his shirsey and burning it!
  4. There was a legit 5 day window where Toronto maybe could have swapped Vlad for Devers straight up Woulda been nice
  5. It sucks to admit it but the Red Sox offense looks stacked. 7 deep since Campbell and Wilyer Abreu seem to be good players. Berrios vs Crochet is a weight class mismatch so have to hope the Dick does not Fitt(s) tonight and then hope the Jays' LHB can get to Houck on Wednesday. Basically the team with the fewest HR in baseball, the Blue Jays, will need to outslug a good offense this series. Time for Vlad to single handedly win a series!
  6. Remember when Rafael Devers was broken? His famously poor start? 134 wRC+ now lol
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/04/blue-jays-vladimir-guerrero-jr-reportedly-making-progress-towards-extension.html Sigh
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. Interesting how it hasn't happened. Big "press conference at 9" energy.
  13. Your $500m clown, ladies and gentlemen
  14. It's like Kirk is just too absorbed with the pitching game plan that he never has an idea of what to do offensively.
  15. And the Jays are over .500 still, lol
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. The Hoffman - Romano decision is looking solid so far
