Exactly. Bring him on board, pitch him for an entire year and then pay the man. The odds of signing him go up dramatically if he just played in your organization for an entire season vs having to sell him on the vision
1000%
Vlad and Bo don’t wanna stay? Okay, let’s bring in Soto and take a run with all three of them and then try and allocate the money ear marked for Bo and Vlad to Soto
I mean it’s the Kawhi situation where you bring in a soon to be massive free agent and make your pitch to them. In this case if Ohtani signs elsewhere (likely) and they trade for Soto they have a year to convince him to stay.
A big splash to show off all the new corporate seating would make a lot of sense too
I agree with everyone who wants to trade Manoah. Sign Wade Miley to be the #5, he is a FIP beater who chews innings. Ricky T the first man up.
Trading for Soto is like pulling a Kawhi. You go for it and hope you can re-sign him. The fact they’re in play for Ohtani shows a willingness to spend. And a left handed outfielder is one of their clearest needs
If if if
What if he’s a 2 WAR player making 25M for the next three years?
He barely slugged over .400
I’m looking forward to seeing if any of the Jays bounce back in the power department or if the RC now plays like Safeco
Pal I don’t really care who likes me or not lol. You continually look to pick arguments with anyone who is willing to engage
Nobody said AA was the only GM who “runs assets into the ground” literally nobody. The reason your arguments fall apart is because you put words in other people’s mouth in order to form your point
