Why is Vlad SO valuable to Rogers?
-
I don’t really see it that way and impossible to quantify or predict He’s a good hitter and a good defender who wont cost as much. I think he’s a good target
-
If all else fails and you walk Vlad into free agency and don’t sign him then pivot to hometown boy Josh Naylor
-
Can Will Wagner play anywhere but 2B/LF?
-
Sending unsolicited PM’s to new members
-
I tried to get the word banned but to no avail. Can’t beat em join em
-
Really makes you appreciate what the staff was able to do last year
-
Haven’t been banned for that Mods have never said that is a ban worthy phrase Do you understand why projections matter to start the offseason now?
-
Ricky Tiedemann and Yariel Rodriguez were the high end depth pieces this season
-
A good move. I wish he would’ve made more good moves this year. Sadly we didn’t get any bonus points for good/great FA signings from years past this year
-
Are you retarded? The flow of conversation was about heading into the 2025 offseason and where the Jays are starting from Of course projections matter to begin free agency because that gives you a barometer of where you’re at. If your projected W/L is 78-84 you have a lot more work in front of you than the 88-74 projected team Which was my entire point. The Jays are nowhere close to a WC spot and will have to pass 5-6 AL teams to even be WC3
-
Seems like the minimum needed to compete - 8 WAR and then some bounce backs from guys already here
-
Because the post and post before that in which I was replying to were talking about projections So that’s why I brought up projections Because the projections aren’t going to be nice to the Blue Jays Any other questions Einstein?
-
Ross still made the signing It was a good move. Wish he would’ve made more of those
-
It’s not impossible but what are the projections going to say about this team once the offseason starts? Under .500? I would say yes. Bottom 5 team in the AL
-
They’re delaying the rebuild because they just sunk a billion dollars into Rogers Center renos under the guise of this super fun and elite team hitting their prime as the renos were completed Now they have this massive investment and a team that has failed to reach expectations. I think we see them try hard to compete again in 25, and a new management team taking over the rebuild or retool in 26. Fun times
-
But this has nothing to do with them spending actual $$$ at the ball park You think a big signing or trade in December is going to push people through the doors in August? I don’t see it In fact it would seem to me that casual attendance revolves more around on field production than that of moderate to hard core fans. Not just Jays fans but fans in general
-
Do you think like a casual fan?
-
Yes it does. I really have nothing more to add
-
Right but Springer, Ryu, Gausman, Bassitt etc span 4 offseasons of work. Some people are like just sign Burnes, Soto and Bregman and we can win 89 games
-
My post had nothing to do with prior seasons or playoff wins. It’s the unreal expectations some people have of what’s capable of being done in an offseason. This team is nowhere close to competing Yes it shouldn’t be that hard to assemble an 80 win team with an additional 50M in 2025 commitments. And I don’t really care if they try and sell at the deadline next year because it doesn’t change anything. I just don’t understand how anyone at Rogers could see this team and be like yup let’s do it again. It’s not like it’s a guarantee that spending is going to keep people coming to the ball park
-
Doesn’t this board do the same thing every offseason Sign 2 of the top 5 and 4 of the top 10 free agents and our problems are solved! And it never happens and probably never will Then the assumption that Rogers is going to add 50M in payroll again. What is the incentive? I don’t see one Even after selling this team is still stuck in limbo
-
It would be. Someone higher up has to recognize this. What’re you gonna do let them go AJ Preller this offseason in a desperation attempt to save their jobs!
-
Bring in new management, since bunch of guys to 1 yr deals to flip at the deadline hopefully with an eye to 2026
-
Yes it’s brutal for me too
