    Damn that sucks. Did you head out to the airport or did you find about your flight being cancelled before you left?

    49ers are my pick to win the Super Bowl. Love that defense. Still questionable about how good Purdy can be as a QB but definitely rooting for him. San Fran's issue every season is that they haven't had an elite QB. Imagine Brady or Rodgers on their team. Cowboys have looked really good as well and will be tough.

    Some possible 3B trade candidates this offseason: - Manny Machado - Nolan Arenado - Jake Burger - Ryan McMahon - J.D. Davis - Yoán Moncada Jays would have to take on significant payroll for Machado or Arenado, along with trading prospect capital (more for Machado). Very unlikely to happen. Burger is a 30HR + bat but defensively isn't that great and doesn't have a great BB rate. Probably going to finish with a 2.5 WAR this season and doesn't become a FA until 2029. Marlins are always unpredictable though. McMahon could be interesting given his control and contract, but hasn't been anything special with the bat even at Coors Field. Posted a 3 WAR season in 2022 and is sound defensively. J.D. Davis has one more year of control so likely is expendable and since the Giants have Wilmer Flores. Moncada has one more year of control + a 2025 club option. Last two seasons he's been awful but had a 5.5 WAR in 2019 and 4 WAR in 2021. Some more risk but high reward if he returns close to his 2019/2021 seasons and he's still only 28. Out of that group, I think McMahon or Moncada could be great fits here.

    These are the types of discussions I like seeing in September on this board before the Postseason. Kikuchi has definitely earned starts in the Postseason if the Jays make it on to the DS and CS. Possibly the WC round as well. Gausman hasn't been as sharp as late but thew two really great games in his last three on 9/9 against the Royals and 9/20 against the Yankees. Hope he finishes strong and you have to hand him the ball for Game 1. Berrios should be ahead of Bassitt and Kikuchi still IMO. Ryu likely is left off the WC and DS/CS rosters unless the Jays want someone to eat innings in a blowout. If the WC goes to Game 3, who would you go with - Bassitt or Kikuchi? I don't really have an answer. Likely will be determined based on the opponent and which arm has faired better against that opposing lineup and has had success in that park.

    Sealed the deal for the AL Cy Young.

    You're out in full attack mode today from the looks of it haha.

    You were having a complete breakdown after the Rangers series lol. Jays are in a good position to make one of the WCs, but if they miss out by a game or so, you can point to some of those poorly played games against Baltimore and Boston earlier on and other winnable games they failed to capitalize on. Let's hope that isn't the case though!

    Yeah I'm most worried about the Yankees this offseason. No way they just stand pat after their disappointing season. They make a big splash or two this offseason, and I still think they land Ohtani.

    I've never seen a trade discussed or argued so much over an entire season. What's done is done. So far, doesn't look like it's one of Atkin's best deals, but still not writing off Varsho. Hopefully he has a 4-5 WAR season next year and that will make things look better on the Jays end.
  10. jaysblue
    Yankees will likely trade for Machado.
  11. jaysblue
    I would offer Chapman a QO. He still put up a 3 WAR season despite his bat being awful. If he accepts, that would be awesome. If he declines, might limit the numbers of buyers who don't want to lose their pick, so Toronto might have an advantage to bring him back on a 1-year pillow contract or maybe 2 year deal. Don't think he's getting anything close to $150M like we all thought before this season. I'm okay with bringing back Ryu at 2/25 or on a one-year deal worth around $10-12M. I love KK but if the plan is to move Varsho to CF, would rather go after a big bat in LF. Merrifield probably isn't back given the emergence of Babe and Biggio I think could fill in the role as a super utility guy who gets 300-400 ABs against RHP. Open to having Merrifield back if he's at around $7-8M and if money isn't an issue.

    It all even's out as Jerry Seinfeld would say!
  13. jaysblue
    Geoff Baker was an idiot.
  14. jaysblue
    Sounds good haha!

    Lucky for the extra WC spots haha. Criticizing or questioning some things about a GM doesn't make you a hater. I do think some posters on here glorify Atkins and this FO too much but that's alright. I don't think he's a bad GM at all, but also don't think he's been amazing given the results so far. Go back and read my posts on how many times I've said good things about him. If the Jays do win the World Series this season, I will do what the Hurl promised to do if Tim Collins recorded a MLB save.
  16. jaysblue
    Hope we both meet in the Finals and I whoop your ass haha. But not looking good for me. If we do, $100 bet!
  17. jaysblue
    What are you talking about? You can't even criticize or question anything anymore these days, geez! Stop getting all worked up you dingleberry!
  18. jaysblue
    Jays taking care of the AL East opponents which is nice! Sweeping Boston and taking the first two against the Bronx Bombers! Great bounce back from the Texas series! Right now Jays are in control. Just continue to take care of business and they should get in!
  19. jaysblue
    He probably never even watched Varsho play before he was acquired by the Jays.
  20. jaysblue
    I said in the other thread when looking back maybe Atkins could have done a better job at improving the teams defense without sacrificing much offense and I was bombarded by you and others. Yet you just said you're giving Varsho a mulligan on this season in regards to his bat because he played mainly LF but next season since he'll be CF, it will all be good. Pretty much that's what's going to happen this upcoming offseason. Varsho will move to CF and the Jays will target a more offensive minded player for LF given the offensive struggles this season. All I was saying, maybe that could have been beneficial this season if the Jays went that route.
  21. jaysblue
    Kelvim Escobar in 2003: hold my beer!
  22. jaysblue
    So you're saying Atkins should have put Varsho in CF and go after a bigger bat in LF instead of signing KK?
  23. jaysblue
    Would sign JD to a cheap one year deal if the Jays can't sign or trade for a better 3B.
  24. jaysblue
    Stanton looks finished. But still would be tied for the Blue Jays lead in HR's lol.
  25. jaysblue
    I can't think of any more Bryant's. I think we exhausted the list.
