  1. didn't look at the SP side. figure they'll just depth fill the open spot. maybe bring in a Kyle Gibson type or bring back Ryu for $8M or something.
  2. Toronto hasn't been shy about trading prospects. I actually could see them swinging a trade for a star. Not sure who would be available. Atkins might finally feel pressure to kind of "save his job" too. I dunno. It's a possibility. Not a huge chance of it happening of course. It is harder to trade for star players with control in the expended playoffs era because like 27/30 teams probably think they can compete within 3 years. I'm glancing at the list of 2027/2026 free agents and seeing basically nobody who is an obvious trade candidate (most stars are on competitive enough teams). Luis Robert is pretty much it, on the offensive side.
  3. "we should acquire a star player" "it's hard to do that bro..." "why are you tarring and feathering me!!!!"
  4. why are people saying "we need another star player" and then acting like they are being attacked? bizarro victim culture in here
  5. Dodgers just need to stay close and get Gallen out of the game as early as possible Then they get their cracks at some waiver wire quality my middle relievers
  6. DBacks have a gigantic pitching disadvantage after Gallen and Kelly. Pfaadt is a who f***ing knows and their bullpen is sad. I guess they don't need a 4th SP this series though so Kelly would get a game 4.
  7. Future Blue Jay JD Martinez looking the part
  8. Dude just pay for sex, lmao
  9. That's basically the 2023 problem in a nutshell. I know other things went wrong and several players didn't hit well but if Vlad was a star it's a completely different team.
  10. The pessimists within like 26 different fanbases get to say "I told you so" at this time of year It's generally not helpful to pretend that these people have special baseball knowledge or worthwhile opinions about roster construction. I mean sometimes they have a point but by the end of the year almost every team is a loser so you aren't special or smart just because you pointed out the Jays flaws all year long.
  11. I don't think it was celebrated by everybody Some people hated it Some people were surprised at the details but saw the justification
  12. Get some therapy
  13. The funny thing about these personal attacks is that I basically have the life you wish you did. Complete, fully functional family with a loving wife.
  14. This is a funny thing in all sports Sometimes the queue isn't actually what the optimal players end up doing even if they think it is
  15. The Orioles demoted Bryan Baker halfway through the year. Kept him in the minors for months where he was mediocre. Inexplicably put him on the playoff roster. Use him. He gives up three earned runs and they lose the game by three runs. Lmao
  16. He was never fat though I think he just gained weight while recovering from surgery and had to change his diet to cut back down
  17. I don't remember Seager being fluffy Bo Bichette was kinda fat as a teenager haha
  18. Yeah He probably thought his size was an asset before 2023. Like the traditional fat pitcher. Of course we've also seen players work hard and get in shape then lose it over future seasons. Like Vlad!
  19. I get it But the trade definitely looks worse in hindsight because at the time Kirk looked a lot better. Kirk's combination of hitting skills (elite elite contact with decent power) with plus framing and blocking just looked so so good. He looks worse now because the power cratered. Like, if Kirk still looked like a sneaky star the trade does not feel as rough.
  20. I don't think the DBacks liked Kirk From the actual trade you can assume the DBacks were offering Thomas for MORENO and Toronto had to add a kicker to get Varsho
  21. Everybody could be fit healthy and happy with a great six figure job if they buckled down and worked hard Most people are fine being fat and tired and making $50k as an HVAC tech or whatever These "problems" are basically universal
  22. Vlad is performing at his 1st percentile possibilities in basically every way Mans could have been an 8 win 3B who slowly became a 1B then DH over an 18 year career Instead he's a 1 WAR DH already
  23. Bailey Ober and Ranger Suarez both pulled around 50 pitches today. The Berrios thing really is not that unique in the context of modern playoff baseball
