    The path forward is sign No you don’t have to go all in. In fact I think that’s the last thing that should happen Saddling yourself with 50M in yearly commitments to Bregman/Santander and Pivetta, forfeiting picks to limp into July around .500 would not be smart I think it’s clear at this point they are fine with a) taking the comp pick for Bo/Vlad or b) trading them at the deadline if theyre too far from contention Nothing they’ve done this offseason suggests otherwise The only major player who makes sense at this point is Flaherty

    That’s fine I am giving Atkins very little credit yes. I don’t think he has any sort of autonomy and the whole org is a giant collaboration I don’t think Atkins is the reason the team had some mild success

    Vlad was the reason people wanted to play in Toronto. Without him it’s unlikely that the Jays are playing at the top of the FA market So while yes Atkins did sign these players it wasn’t because of his negotiation skills or players wanting to play for his great young core Which is the point I was trying to make earlier. While yes Atkins was the GM during these incredible four years, I don’t believe he did anything any other GM couldn’t have in Toronto Reasons to play in Toronto circa 2020 1) Vlad and Bo - AA regime 2) Rogers willingness to spend - Rogers 3) Brand new state player dev complex - Shapiro

    I hope we sign Jurickson Profar and Jose Quintana tonight around 8 EST

    Okay but not moving past 3/4 of a billion dollars is different than Beeston not doing business with Boras or not permitting contracts longer than 5 years lol

    First I’ve heard Didn't they just offer the largest contract in team history (again)?

    You don’t think anybody wanted to play with JB, EE and JD? Do you remember when guys were willing to pass the hat around to give Ervin Santana 12M?

    What self imposed restrictions have Shatkins faced when it comes to FA deals?

    I’ve said this before, but AA had to trade for free agent contracts via prospects to elevate payroll Atkins got to spend it Springer, Semien, Ryu, Gausman, Bassitt, Kikuchi

    No it’s not unreasonable to say they were a top 10 team in some of these seasons. Not sure which year you’re referring to specifically
  17. L54
    The largest problem when it came to extending Bo and Vlad was that they didn’t need the security
  18. L54
    Last four years they’ve ran a top 10 payroll (12th, 11th, 9th, 9th) according to Spotrac They were also large beneficiaries of expanded playoffs. Two out of those three seasons came as the last playoff team (8th in 2020 lol) I don’t think what they’ve done is particularly impressive

    I can’t handle the Atkins is responsible for the best four seasons of baseball ever for the Toronto Blue Jays narrative when he was gifted Vlad and 250M+ payrolls. I’d rather sit beside Trudeau at a Taylor Swift concert drinking Twisted Teas

    😂 😂 😂 They kind of are

    Maybe a bit of both lol I do think a lot of us are looking forward to seeing what’s to come for the site. We are overdue for a software update

    This is primed to be the most exciting move of the offseason Congrats Term on your winning proposal. Really great work Looking forward to laughing reactions and automatic tweet embedding

    Lol I like BNS. He comes off as humble and good at his job. Arden comes off as a huge douche who thinks he’s one of the boys
  25. L54
    Yes please. This would be great to get figured out. It used to work flawlessly then a couple years ago it stopped functioning and has never been fixed
