    Won $140 with my Teo bet haha! What a show! Really happy for Teo! Such a likeable player!

    He put up 5.6, 7.9, 6.4, 7.4 WAR seasons in his first four MLB seasons lol. If he stayed healthy and continued to produce, we're likely talking about a HOF career. Grady Sizemore was lightyears better than LGJ haha.

    I bet Ozuna and as an underdog went with Teo.

    Man, if Grady Sizemore could have stayed healthy, likely looking at a HOF career. Would have been cool to see the type of numbers he would have put up in his career.

    I still can't believe there are some people on this board defending Atkins and this FO regarding the KK signing. At the time, signing KK as a "starter" did not make sense at all when the Jays already had Varsho who could play CF and since they needed to upgrade the lineup which was quite evident from the 2023 season. KK was an aging outfielder who was 34 and has been injury prone before. To expect him to repeat his 2023 season was ridiculous. I've stated numerous times the perfect role for KK would have been coming back as a 4th outfielder due to his defensive abilities, and someone who manages to work his way into 250-300 AB. This still would have required the Jays going out to add another bat for a corner OF spot, which they failed to do. If money was going to be an issue and if signing KK prevented them from signing another outfielder with pop, then they should have passed on KK because that $10M could have been better spent elsewhere.

    He loves to pin point when things go wrong with other top organizations like the Dodgers and Braves in order to justify his defense of Atkins and the Jays FO.
  7. jaysblue
    Don't understand the Blue Jays thinking here. If he was willing to sign here for around $12.5M on a one-year deal (or maybe a bit more), how do you not further pursue that? He would have been a nice fit at DH.
  8. jaysblue
    Very disappointing if you ask me. Shows you that Atkins and this FO really botched last offseason when there were clearly lineup upgrades available. Not saying Pederson would have put this team over the top, but heck he would have been a better bat than Turner and the Jays needed a left-handed bat with pop from DH or a corner OF spot.

    Yeah I even read that since the Brewers made the Postseason, Cleveland was allowed to pick the PTBNL, which was Michael Brantley. Crazy story also how the Brewers could have had Mike Trout with the No. 25 overall pick: https://www.nbcsports.com/mlb/news/free-agent-compensation-rule-cost-brewers-shot-at-mike-trout

    What do posters think about the CC Sabathia trade in 2008? Shapiro was running things in Cleveland and orchestrated the deal. Only Michael Brantley amounted to anything and he was the last piece in the deal (PTBNL I believe). The Cliff Lee deal in 2009 as well. Carlos Carrasco turned out some real good seasons with them. The rest in that package were garbage.

    I don't have Raptors 905 tickets haha. But yeah I'm okay with adding a premium game in a package.
  13. jaysblue
    Man, just admit the extension was a bad one. Stop defending Atkins and this front office with every single move they do.
  14. jaysblue
    Wonder what the Tigers odds were going into the bottom of the 9th lol.
  15. jaysblue
    Will definitely be fun! Great for baseball!

    If anyone wants some preseason games for Buffalo or Cleveland this August, shoot me a DM.

    If anyone wants to purchase a package of 5 or 10 Raptors games for this upcoming season, shoot me a DM.
  18. jaysblue
    Yeah hopefully not. Still, they can't afford to punt the offseason and keep the status quo. Need to get creative and make some big moves. Whether it's Atkins or another GM.
  19. jaysblue
    I'm predicting a big August.
  20. jaysblue
    It's not good enough to contend IMO. They still need to make some big additions to compliment that core if they want to reach the Postseason.
  21. jaysblue
    Signing Vladdy to an extension (depending on dollars and years) would be a good PR move and look good for optics. After a disappointing season, would be some positive news at least that the Jays kept their young superstar around. As well, helps Rogers sell seats at the ballpark. Lastly, might help in free agency during the offseason with other FA's wanting to sign here since it shows the Jays are willing to keep around high talent and are willing to spend money to win.
  22. jaysblue
    Read reports that Vladdy was open to an extension here in Toronto, which is positive and means he likely won't be shopped. I still would move Bo if you can get 80-90 cents on the dollar for him. If teams are only offering 20-30 cents on the dollar, better to just hold onto him and hope he has a monster season in his contract year.
  23. jaysblue
    Yeah Crochet likely will be close to reaching his IP threshold. For a Postseason team, sucks that he would be limited down the stretch and into October.
  24. jaysblue
    Yeah would love see one of his starts in person. Hoping I can plan a 2-3 day trip down in August when he's lined up to pitch. Would also be cool to catch Jared Jones pitching in the same series as well.

    If your defense is subpar at shortstop, you at least gotta hit. Turner and Seager at least can hit and provide elite offensive numbers. So you can live with their subpar defense. JP Crawford offensively this season has been horrible. Out of all the teams contending for the Postseason, I only count the Braves and maybe the Red Sox where Bo would be a fit. Given their shortstop situation, they have nothing to lose rolling the dice on Bo. I see the Dodgers at least going back with Betts at short or even if they move him to 2B, they likely go with a glove first guy at short since offensively they have enough bats elsewhere.
