The Off Topic forum is really a mess geez. Every thread is a spam thread now on the first page.
-
Say anything critical about the Leafs, it's 100x worse haha.
-
Yup was a fantastic trade by Atkins at the time. He wasn't a force like Josh Donaldson with the bat, but defensively was rock solid and provided tremendous value! Really solid two years here!
-
I said at the time of the Green options being picked up and the IKF/KK signings that I had no issues with those deals as long as they don't financially strap the Jays from making other moves this offseason. Now I question those signings happening so early in the offseason since they prevented the Jays from adding better talent later on. I don't have an issue with signing Turner as a DH. Wasn't my first or second choice, but regardless the team needed to spend around that much for a DH bat anyways, even if they signed Chapman for 3B.
-
Yeah very disappointing offseason. This team really never made any additions that greatly improved the roster. If anything, they likely will be worse. Have to hope Bo and Vlad both have MVP caliber years and hope for some bounce backs from Kirk, Varsho, Springer and Manoah.
-
Deja vu!

Chad Green was not a bargain.
-
Worded perfectly. Atkins hasn't taken advantage of this so-called window, which is very unfortunate. Seems like they're happy being a borderline WC team every season.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)
jaysblue replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Thank you for rejecting that trade in the DDL haha. -
Yeah I could stash Hendriks on the IL and if he comes back healthy, I think he could return to elite form. We've seen relievers pitch well into their late 30's. As a team contending, don't want to waste a roster spot on Bauer if he doesn't sign anywhere and even if he does come back, doubt he pitches like a No. 1 or 2 starter.
-
If you had to choose one to keep in a 20-team dynasty league: Trevor Bauer or Liam Hendriks?
-
I actually agree with you for once. Had no issue on bringing in KK or IKF as long as it didn't tie them down financially from adding other impact players. Atkins always loves to act early in the offseason when it comes to filling up holes on the roster and probably rushed to sign KK and IKF just so he had bodies occupying those positions. Kind of the same thing when he rushed to sign Kendrys Morales to a three-year deal early in the offseason in fear of losing EE, when there were many DH type bats available. I bet even right now, good chance IKF and KK are still FA's. If Chapman signs a one-year deal around $20-23M, should definitely be with the Jays. Hope the IKF and KK signings prevent that from happening.

Happy Birthday Boxcar!
-
You can't be serious lol.
-
Yeah depending on what I'm doing and if I have wifi access at that time haha.
-
Yeah hoping money isn't an issue. If Chapman is available to come back on a one-year deal around $20M, you have to do it. Easiest way to add 3-4 WAR to the lineup.
-
I think Chapman likely comes back to the Jays. Not as much guaranteed money as Bellinger, but could see him signing a 2-3 year deal around $60M or so with opt-outs. If the Jays could bring back Chappy on a 1-year deal around $20M, would be perfect!
-
No issue with that Bellinger deal. Win/win for both sides. If he has another season where he posts 4-5 WAR, he likely opts out and Cubs benefit. He might even think twice about opting out depending on the FA market and how successful he is. Regardless, 80M guaranteed, so good for Belly and not a long term commitment for the Cubs if Belly does suck.
-
Cubs made the most sense because other teams would have had to give up a comp pick to sign him.
-
I'm out of town that week, so doubt I'll be able to attend the draft. If you could find someone else, probably better. If not, can pre-rank some players before hand.

If the Jays lose today, don't worry. These games mean nothing. -

Espinal leading off!! Wooo hooo!!! -
Fanatics jerseys are pretty awful and not that visually appealing. My cousin purchased a Fanatics Raptors jersey online and the quality was really cheap. Told him to just spend the extra $50-60 to buy a Nike swingman jersey instead
