  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Gregor Chisholm is writing a piece as we speak!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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

    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.
  11. Yup. If you read some of my posts, I pretty much said the same thing regarding Bo.
  12. 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!
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. But this team isn't winning lol.
  17. I agree. I'm okay with him as the starting 3B next season if the Jays spend money elsewhere on the roster. Need to add at least two big bats to the lineup hopefully in LF and at DH. At worst, Clement and his glove provide 2 WAR over a full season.
  18. Definitely listen to the part when Caleb Joseph speaks. He brings up a lot of great points.
  19. Chris Bassitt also said Vladdy should play 75% of the time at 3B and thinks he prefers playing at the hot corner. Said he doubted him playing 3B this season, but that he looked really good. He thinks Vladdy does want to stay here. Interesting.
  20. Great interview. Laika wears blinders and can't think critically.
  21. It's a weak SS market this offseason. Outside of Adames and Kim, there aren't really any solid options in the next tier below them. Maybe DeJong and Rosario, but that's it! Jays might be able to capitalize on the weak SS market and if they could, definitely open to trading him during the offseason. Atlanta would be a great fit for Bo.
  22. Yup. Smoak had that one really good year in 2017. Adam Lind in 2009 and 2013. Michael Saunders in 2016 was solid.
  23. As a kid growing up, Delgado was one of my favourites. Class act player here! Sucks he was never able to sniff the Postseason with the Jays.
