I mean we all know he didn't have much value, if any at all, but for a team like the Dodgers to want to trade for him after he was DFA shows you that he's still a decent piece to have around for depth and versatility on the bench, and someone who also has some untapped potential still.
-
A lot of other options were available but it was just too tough for Atkins.
-
Haha yup. There was nothing Atkins could have done this offseason to improve the lineup! Absolutely nothing!

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)

I can't tell if you're being serious or joking. Even if joking, I don't get how it would it be funny. Rooker after 2024 will be arb eligible and still have 3 years of control left. He's looking like he could be a 30-40 HR type bat and possible 3-4+ WAR upside. He won't come cheap. -
What do you think Oakland would ask for? He has controllability which is the nice thing, so wouldn't just be a rental. Would definitely target him during the offseason if Oakland makes him available.

Oakland likely could shop Shae. Jansen and/or Kirk aren't the only catchers available. -
Even if Bo does start going on a tear, the Jays need to add another bat or two to this lineup. The status quo isn't good enough.
-
Yankees need a 1B. Rizzo has been awful this season.
-
If the Jays can stay above .500 throughout July, I would definitely try to add especially if everyone is healthy. Would give it one last shot. Can't keep the status quo obviously. If this current team wants to make a run at WC3 and do some damage in the Postseason, they need to make upgrades especially offensively. You either add to the core or sell. Keeping the status quo would be the worst option.
-
Just took a glance of the standings. A couple of trade candidates from teams that likely are selling (could change obviously): Luis Robert Jr Taylor Ward Brent Rooker Jazz Chisholm Jr. Josh Bell Jake Burger Pete Alonso Starling Marte JD Martinez Paul Goldschmidt Nolan Arenado Ryan McMahon Joc Pederson Obviously some targets would be expensive. But a couple of intriguing power bats, rentals and even some bats with term. Always fun to talk trade scenarios.
-
Who could be some possible trade targets? I know it's still early but will try to come up with a list.
-
Teo is on fire!
-
Yeah geez I know. He's a streaky hitter though. Could see him have a 3 for 30 stretch anytime. Crazy to imagine he would be the Jays team leader in HR's with 12 this season lol.
-
Yup great series win. Let's hope they keep it rolling and hopefully Atkins does address some areas on the roster before the deadline to help give this team another push down the stretch!
-
Paul DeJong is having a nice season with the White Sox so far. 12 HR's, 27 RBI, 116 wRC+ and 1.0 fWAR over 60 games.
-
I've seen "FIRE JP" signs at the Rogers Centre during the 2000's haha. Don't recall anyone ever getting kicked out. We've seen signs calling for firings of coaches, GM's, Team President's etc. As long as the signs aren't vulgar/offensive, and the person isn't disrupting the game by holding the sign up during innings and obstructing views of other fans around. You should be able to hold up a "Fire Ross Atkins" sign at the Rogers Centre.
-
Wasn't that difficult to add a corner OF bat or DH with pop this offseason. Atkins is supposed to be the genius which is why he gets paid the big bucks. But he can't even do something that simple. At least the Jays have some options now since Vlad looks like he's finally woke up with his bat. They could get something of value in return now if they decided to shop him.
-
I'll go with the experience. Panthers were in the Stanley Cup Finals last season. Don't see them losing 2-years in a row. It's gonna be tough for the Oilers to beat the Panthers.
-
Atkins has done this in the past as well, for example with Morales after EE was a FA, and others. He seems to like filling holes early in the offseason rather than wait.
-
How is Swanson doing? haha
-
That's Gausman's second career complete game and first career shutout. WTF? Haha wouldn't have thought that.
-
Hurston Waldrep to be called up by Atlanta tomorrow to make his MLB debut.

This meme could also apply to some posters on this board haha. -
Yeah, they should be good! Oakland averages like under 3 runs per game haha.
-
Should be good. Glad they scored a couple of runs for Gausman!
