Hold on. Did he send cash through the mail?

They'll put Gausman on the DL pretty quick, and that should make the decision a lot easier.

I agree with Rodriguez starting in AAA. Didn't realize he had so few IP. I was expecting Swanson to be back, but maybe not. 8 relievers seems like a lot. We need a legit 4th outfielder when we carry Springer and KK. Not sure who it will be. Clement is more of an IF, so is Espinal. Who does that leave?

LOCKED IN (unless injured): 19 players 1B: V Guerrero 2B: Undecided 3B: IKF SS: B Bichette C: A Kirk/D Jansen (DL) LF: D Varsho CF: K Kiermaier RF: G Springer DH: J Turner SP1: K Gausman SP2: J Berrios SP3: C Bassitt SP4: Y Kikuchi SP5: Undecided CL: J Romano (DL) SU: E Swanson RP3: Y Garcia RP4: T Mayza RP5: C Green RP6: Y Rodriguez RP7: Undecided Bench1: Undecided Bench2: Undecided Bench3: Undecided Bench4: Undecided OTHER 2B: E Clemente, C Biggio, D Schneider, S Espinal No one has really laid a claim on 2B. Clemente looks the best, but is being used in a utility role. Biggio is getting paid 4 million and has looked decent in ST. Schneider was bad at the end of last year, and hasn't looked good in ST. Espinal is OK, is owed $2.7 MM and has been OK in ST> Prediction: Clemente and Biggio make the team and share 2B in some capacity. Schneider gets sent down to AAA to try and find the magic again. Espinal makes the team as a bench/utility guy. SP5: B Francis, Y Rodriguez, A Manoah, P Espino, M White Prediction: Francis has run away with this competition and should easily be the SP5 Manoah will start on the DL or minors as even if healthy he doesn't have the innings in. P Espino will be our 6th starter, bouncing back and forth between MLB and AAA as injuries come and go. M White is out of options, but it doesn't matter. The Jays can't carry him. We'll try to push him into AAA and take our chances. Y Rodriguez will be a long reliever, and may get some spot starts later in the year. RP7: T Richards, G Cabrera, N Pearson, H Juenger, H Danner Prediction Pearson, Juenger and Danner will all get sent down since they have options. Richards will likely claim the last spot. Genesis will start in the minors and be the first guy up. Bench Spots: As mentioned previous, one will go to Biggio/Clemente One will go to Espinal, Remaining 2: J Votto, D Vogelbach, E Escobar, N Lukes, D Schneider, A Roden, B Serven, A Barger Predictions There's only room for one of Votto or Vogelbach, and I think Votto is going to take it. Escobar just hasn't shown enough. Schneider is better off getting regular reps, plus we need an OF I think Roden makes the squad. He looks decent in ST, and is the 4th OF we need. Injuries: If D Jansen is injured to start the season, B Serven makes the team. If an infielder gets injured, D Schneider makes the team. If an SP is injured to start the season (other than A Manoah), P Espino makes the team. If an OF is injured to start the season, I honestly have no idea who makes the team - maybe S Berroa?

That's cold BTS>

I'd feel pretty comfortable DFA'ing Zulueta today. 26 years old. Hasn't had a BB/9 under 6 in his last two years.

Exciting. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/blue-jays-among-the-teams-to-get-a-city-connect-jersey-in-2024/ar-BB1if0LK?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=404f1e8be145407a8c21e201ae32e6d6&ei=7

That was legal in Canada up until about ten years ago.

That's the best goodbye to Toronto letter I've ever read.

I wasn't feeling great about 2024, especially after we missed on Soto and Ohtani. BUT THEN, we spent $15 million on Kiner-Falefa. Now, I'm super-excited about our chances. Fans are super hyped about this signing. Totally makes up for our other misses.

I'm going to throw up if the Jays trade a bunch of our best prospects away for one year of Soto. No reason at all for the Jays to do this unless top managment has been given an ultimatum to win or else.

If we trade Bo, we can sign TA for $2 million and free self-defense classes on how to take a punch.

True. These are the FanGraphs estimates. I think the MLBTR estimates are likely more accurate. Not sure if they've factored in the shortage of position players available.
