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. -
What date is the draft again?

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
-
Judge is way past his prime and made of glass since he plays with the Yankees. If he was with the Blue Jays though...haha.

Spot on! One of the main things I love about the States. The geographical diversity is a huge plus! Every state is unique as well. Someone from New York or New Jersey can easily move down to a warmer climate if they wish or visa versa. You have tropic climates, the mountains, major urban centres, small towns, the desert, places with mild climates all year round etc. Not much choice here in Canada unfortunately. -
Leafs will make the Playoffs no problem, but you know very well Spanky they're not a team built to go on a long run. Other teams like Boston and Florida and other teams turn it up a notch in the Playoffs in terms of physicality, which is something the Leafs don't have. Guys like Matthews, Marner and Nylander are fantastic players during the regular season. They could out skate and use their skills to beat up on the bad teams and even good teams as well, though when it comes to Playoff hockey, they get shut down, they're afraid to go into the boards, take a hit etc. Leafs need two defensemen at the deadline IMO.
-
LOL a little over exaggerated but alright. The FA list for SP's is usually thin and maybe there are a couple of roster-able No. 4/5 starters who have some upside depending on their situation.

The infrastructure in Toronto is just awful. I will never drive downtown and have no intention of ever doing so. Too much congestion, construction, road closures, pedestrians, bicyclists, expensive city parking etc. Not worth it. The Gardiner Expressway is awful. The 401 is always a mess, no matter what part of the day. Driving in this city sucks. Too many roads now have a 50 KM/H limit and some major roads don't even have proper separate left-hand or right-hand turning lanes. Bike lanes are popping up everywhere, taking away a lane of traffic. Buses clog up the roads as well. Even the traffic out in the suburbs is pretty awful during rush hour and the weekends. Mississauga has too many stoplights on busy streets like Dixie and Dundas Street, which are always a mess. This city needs another subway line running east/west, but that will never happen and it's way too expensive now. As well, they need more commuter rail trains that go into the downtown core. Toronto is pretty backwards for what is considered a world-class city. -
Yeah from a PR perspective not just for the Angels but even the MLB, trading Trout strictly as a salary dump and receiving nothing of value looks pretty bad for optics. He's still considered a star player and one of the faces of baseball, even if he's aging and has been injury prone the last couple of years. As long as he's healthy, Trout should still be good for a couple of MVP-esque type seasons with the bat. He's definitely capable of coming close to his 2022 numbers again offensively.
-
Hope he can have a successful return to the mound. He's been through a lot these last couple of years. One of the most dominant relievers in the game when he was healthy.
