  1. I'll still take the Braves over the Blue Jays any day of the week, even without Strider and Acuna. They still sit at 36-30 and lead the NL Wildcard. I don't see AA standing pat at the deadline at least and he'll address the holes on the roster unlike some other GMs.
  2. The Blue Jays might not even get in this season based on the horrendous offseason Atkins had lol.
  3. I mean its tough losing two of the best in the game, in Strider and Acura Jr. for the year. Others like Olson, Riley, Albies and Harris need to step up offensively. As well, they were without Murphy for a good chunk of the season, who just came back. They've hit a tough patch, but still sit at 36-30 and lead the NL Wildcard. Would rather be in the Braves position than the Blue Jays currently.
  4. Should definitely lead to a ban. One poster on here loves calling posters Tampons. A lot of low level insults thrown around by some of these guys.
  5. Who's job is it to make that assessment on players and the roster? You just agreed that the Jays are rostering too many older players with risks like Springer, KK and Turner. Two of the THREE which signed as FA's this past offseason.
  6. Keep drinking the Kool Aid! Nothing wrong with being optimistic at all. Though according to you and some others of the Atkins cult, you're not allowed to criticize the GM or the front office on anything when it comes to this team. You can't keep giving him a free pass for everything. I want to see the Blue Jays win a World Series more than anyone! I'm sure you do as well! Though it doesn't look like it's going to happen with Atkins in control. His window is closing. Hope I'm proven wrong.
  7. He either just got hired by Rogers or Ross Atkins wrote him a wonderful reference!
  8. Blue Jays are now 32-10 when they score at least 3 runs. But Atkins couldn't do anything this offseason to improve the lineup.
  9. EatMyShatkins tends to forget the solid years offensively Teo had for the Jays. Funny when Teo has an off year in Seattle, he's done. But when an aging outfielder like Springer is in decline for two years or someone like Kirk's power disappears, it's too early to write them off just yet lol.
  10. 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.
  11. A lot of other options were available but it was just too tough for Atkins.
  12. Haha yup. There was nothing Atkins could have done this offseason to improve the lineup! Absolutely nothing!
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Oakland likely could shop Shae. Jansen and/or Kirk aren't the only catchers available.
  16. 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.
  17. Yankees need a 1B. Rizzo has been awful this season.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Who could be some possible trade targets? I know it's still early but will try to come up with a list.
  21. Teo is on fire!
  22. 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.
  23. 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!
  24. 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.
