Fedde signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
-
Does anyone know who Ohtani's barber is? -
Someone should make a Josh Donaldson thread!
-
That's what she said.
-
Lmao at the posters on here thinking what Dave Roberts said eliminates the Dodgers. Seriously be rational!
-
Jays are 13 to 1. They likely go down to 9 to 1 if they land Ohtani. Braves and Dodgers both 7.50 to 1 currently.
-
Not worth betting any team right now on who wins the World Series. Your money is tied up all the way until October next season.

My DDL and BORED teams benefit!

This bolds well for my team in the LOD.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
jaysblue replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
As much as it would be cool to see the Jays go all in with both Ohtani and Soto, that unlikely is going to happen. Think only one of them is possible. Seems like the Jays will know which path they take once Ohtani makes a decision. If Ohtani signs with another team, Jays likely pull off a trade with the Padres hours later for Soto. -
Going to a Christmas Party tomorrow night at a Japanese steak house with Teppanyaki tables. Could be a sign.
-
Ross Atkins is in a Japanese Izakaya right now doing sake shots with Ohtani and his reps!

Ross Atkins is in Tokyo.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

LMAO this is hilarious! -
Kelenic actually showed some promise in the early part of the season. Kelenic is still just 24-years-old and has great tools and upside. Rather than trotting out a low upside guy like Rosario in LF, at least Kelenic has some potential. Braves can afford to roll the dice on him since he'll likely be hitting in the lower part of the lineup anyways, so no pressure. If the Braves could fix him, could be a steal. Worst case, his floor is likely a 1.5 - 2 WAR corner outfielder. Marco Gonzales is meh and nothing sexy. But he can provide innings and rotation depth. Sucks taking on his contract but it's only $7.5M for one year. Evan White was really highly touted coming up. Mariners locked him up to an extension of 6 years, $24M with two club options back in 2020 haha. Maybe a change of scenery and the Braves could help him.

Give me other examples Spanky! Lets go! Put your money where your mouth is!
-
Again, give me other examples during his tenure with Atlanta where he hasn't managed the 40 man roster well? I provided reasons why the Braves made those trades. At the end of the day, guys like Soroka, Wright, Lopez etc. aren't making a difference on a team like the Atlanta Braves and the objective of the trade was to clear space on the 40-man roster. Secondly, their value didn't drop drastically from last offseason to this offseason. They were going to be non-tendered if they weren't traded and the other 29 teams knew that. Give it a rest.
-
Why do you even care so much about this Braves trade FFS? Geez you guys need to get a life! Braves will still be a 95-100 win team and one of the top teams in baseball next season. Also, they have already won a World Series in 2021. Flags fly forever!
-
Spanky just said it was too early to trade Soroka after not being healthy since 2019. I used Manoah as an example if he s*** the bed in 2024, and if Atkins traded him for pennies after or non-tendered him that would be asset mismanagement according to Spanky and Laika. I have no problem with the Jays giving Manoah another chance in 2024. No different than the Braves hoping Soroka could stay healthy and rebound after his surgeries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Though Spanky said he was in favour to trade Manoah now before that happens.
-
Not looking to pick arguments with anyone and I don't put words in other people's mouth. All I pointed out was Atlanta's reasoning behind those moves. You then got all triggered when I said it wouldn't have been a bad idea for the Braves to keep Nicky Lopez if they could have as a backup middle infielder. You were the one who actually picked an argument.
-
If it was too early to trade Soroka, same applies to Manoah this offseason then according to you.
-
You can't read what I actually post. You need some courses in reading comprehension.
-
All I stated was that every team in baseball at some point runs assets into the ground and never trade them at the opportune time. AA has for sure, and never denied that. To say he's the only GM who runs assets into the ground, give me a break. Like I said if he does it "spectacularly and at volume" like Laika said, give me a list of those instances when he was with the Braves. You actually were becoming one of my favourite posters on this board who actually is rational in comparison to some of the shills on here. Don't know what I said that was so controversial but alright! Cheers!
-
You do hold a grudge against AA and his FO when he was here with the Jays. I wonder why... Have a nice weekend as well! Hope you're enjoying your victory lap!
-
Wait, so it's too quick to give up on Soroka, but you want the Jays to trade Manoah this offseason? I'm confused dawg!
