    Yeah would be awesome to see him age well like Barry Bonds did. Would be great for baseball!

    I get the sense that a lot of other players, especially some vets, feel the same way about the front office. Bassitt was the one willing to speak out about it for whatever reason. I don't think this FO is transparent enough when it comes to communicating with players. Jeff Blair brought this up in one of his podcasts this week. Look at the Berrios situation from 2023 as an example. I still think that decision rubbed a lot of guys the wrong way. Imagine Gausman or Bassitt pitching in that game cruising along, and they get pulled in the 4th inning?

    Time to buy Vladdy in fantasy baseball was back in May, but given all our dynasty leagues are members from the BJMB, nobody wanted to trade him. Same with Bo even right now.
  4. jaysblue
    Bassitt probably wants to be traded to a contender in 2025 if the Jays decide to just keep the status quo in the offseason and only make marginal upgrades. I'm sure he also was upset he never was traded at this years deadline. He definitely had an agenda with that Chris Rose interview.

    Sounds like the Blue Jays of 2023 lol.
  6. jaysblue
    Yeah for sure. I think if he was up already with the Jays this season, or if the game was being played in Cincy, definitely would have been fitting. But for him to be called up just for one game with the Jays after spending his entire career with the Reds: if I'm Votto I probably want to be remembered as someone who played only with one team at the MLB Level. That's probably important to him. I see Votto just signing a one-day contract with the Reds and they give him a beautiful send off.
  7. jaysblue
    Wouldn't surprise me if he's a non-tender candidate this winter.

    Blair has been talking about it everyday this week. Was saying when the Jays signed him, AA asked him what position he wanted to play and Vladdy said 3B.
  9. jaysblue
    Yeah but if I'm Votto, why would I want my last game to be in a Blue Jays uniform when I spent an entire career with the Reds?
  10. jaysblue
    I mean if Shi Davidi and Blair are even talking about it... Laika only believes what he wants to believe. He wears blinders and thinks he's always right.
  11. jaysblue
    Yeah I think Cincy will sign him to a one-day contract and he'll get a send off down in Cincy. Plus he gets to retire only putting on a Reds uniform for his entire MLB career. Toronto would have been a nice send off since he grew up in Etobicoke, but doesn't make sense calling him up just for one game and having a send off for him. If he was up during the season, for sure this would have been the perfect series to do something for him. Probably more meaningful to Votto if the Reds do it down in Cincy.
  12. jaysblue
    Yeah was really solid when he came back in 2017 and 2019. After 2020 he just disappeared. Shocked another team never gave him a flier afterwards.
  13. jaysblue
    Going to one-up you.

    Gregor Chisholm is writing a piece as we speak!
  15. jaysblue
    Haha. Yamamoto as a 25-year-old arm who never even threw a pitch in the Majors got $325M from the Dodgers. Gotta think Soto being an everyday player gets between $500-600M.
  16. jaysblue
    Vladdy benefits going into free agency if he can market himself as a third baseman as well. Jays could benefit having Vladdy play 3B since then it's easier to find a 1B who could mash rather than someone at 3B.
  17. jaysblue
    How much do you think Juan Soto gets in the offseason? I think something close to $600M given his age. There aren't many players who become FA's at the age of 26.

    NFL Thread

    jaysblue replied to Dylan's topic in Other Sports

    Obviously not as much as a regular season game, but it's more for the experience of tailgating and yeah watching some NFL football for a fraction of the cost. Sure die hard Bills fans or other die hard NFL fans will go to watch preseason games. No different than going to watch a ST game.
  19. jaysblue
    Oh FFS!
  20. jaysblue
    Yup. If you read some of my posts, I pretty much said the same thing regarding Bo.
  21. jaysblue
    Ideally, he would be perfect as a bench piece. Given the areas on the roster that need upgrades and improvements however, if the Jays need to save money in some places to spend elsewhere, rolling with Clement at 3B isn't the end of the world. Defensively alone he should be worth 2 WAR. But yeah if the Blue Jays have another offseason where the main big additions are players like Justin Turner and KK, then yeah I would be annoyed!
  22. jaysblue
    If Springer can just be a .250, 20-25 HR, 80 RBI, 110 wRC+ and 3 WAR kinda guy in 2025, I would be happy.
  23. jaysblue
    I love guys like Loperfido, Schneider and Wagner, but they better not be anywhere near the starting lineup in 2025 if this team plans to compete. As bench/depth guys, definitely love having them around. The only Buffalo guys I would want in the starting lineup next season is Horwitz at 2B and possibly Clement at 3B.
  24. jaysblue
    It's only 20 AB's. We need to temper expectations here please. When a player or pitcher on the Jays suck, the excuse is that it's still early and that its too small of a sample size. When a player over 20 AB's or a pitcher after 3 starts perform very well, they're already crowned at locks at a position or mid-rotation starters for 2025.
  25. jaysblue
    But this team isn't winning lol.
