Maybe Atkins had a chub for Varsho and was his #1 target. 5 WAR outfielder. Or maybe Moreno wasn’t as highly valued around the league as we thought. Rookie catcher is a tough fit

My comment is that Gabby Moreno and Corbin Carroll were in two different classes as prospects even though Moreno was once a top fiver Atkins would’ve had his number blocked if he asked for Carroll for Moreno Moreno has 1.7 fWAR and so does Varsho I don’t think there is super star upside in the bat. Maybe the same chance there is super star upside in Varsho’s bat. Both players look like nice 2-3 WAR pieces who are excellent defenders up the middle. Kinda funny that they arrive at the same type of value in different ways Of course Moreno is controlled for two extra years which isn’t nothing.

Man it feels like 6-4 shouldn’t be that hard

I would offer Chapman the QO and try to bring back Ryu. The other two can walk.

I think Moreno was vastly overrated here because he was a “top 5” prospect He was a top 5 prospect because of the high probability to be a 2-3 WAR player. Not because he is gonna go 30/50 like Corbin Carroll

This is true

Hahaha yup “He’s having a hell of a night! I know you have the biggest strike zone in the league but come on!”

Lmao okay Sick name drop I always hoped to meet someone who knew the Jays dietitian’s email

My point is that this doesn’t have to be some ruling with an iron fist like others equate it to You will know before spring even comes if there is no adherence. Ramifications will have to be a case by case basis

Yes I know you are studying nutrition congratulations. Should’ve just taken the PN course for 1000 bucks

I think the disconnect between sides is that the naysayers are equating this to punishment or authoritarian rule. Like Babcock demanding to see your pics If I was in charge I would: Meet with Player X and all relevant departments (psych, nutrition, S&C, data, physio) Discuss the season at a personal level. Good and bad. Acknowledge that it wasn’t where either party wants to be Give Player X opportunity to disclose any nagging injuries. Address those immediately in the offseason Run relevant baseline data to reference during the offseason Set goals in conjunction with Player X that are both achievable and timely Develop offseason training blocks and dietary guidelines Establish accountability check ins (weekly, biweekly) Doing this with the player gives them a level of buy in because they were a part of the process. Creating accountability check ins allows both parties to be held somewhat responsible with the end result Honestly I would do this with the entire 40 man roster if I was GM. Players who have proven they have a strong system in place don’t necessarily need to use team resources. Players who haven’t met expectations will be given every resource necessary.

agree that some veteran leadership would help reinforce the point. But you also need management on board for accountability and resources

Why would you do that?

I thought it was pretty obvious any sort of body recomp would have to take place over the offseason and not in the next 10 days

For who?

No.

Exactly and to be honest an organization is doing a disservice to the team, teammates and the player himself if they’re not demanding excellence in all facets of the game

Must be a fake article

This mouth breather has 10x the amount of time in sports than you. Might even be 100x to be honest For you to sit here and tell me that the Toronto Blue Jays, a professional sports team have no control over the physical conditioning of their players actually just confirms that you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about so I’ll forgive your ignorance

Man that Yankees lineup is brutal. Ours actually looks decent on paper

And therein lies the problem. Inmates running the asylum If you cannot hold each individual to the same standard you will not have the respect of the group. When the core pieces are also the clear corner cutters it spreads like a disease

They all can do it. It’s not even that difficult for them with resources, disposable income, time etc. The question is whether or not they put in the time

Can the hold them accountable if the course of action is not met?

Name one person who says this

Dirty bulk
