    I would be on board. Stroman has pitched big games downs the stretch and in the Postseason. Would definitely be a welcome addition and nostalgia from the 2015/2016 days. Would be the perfect No. 2 behind Gausman in a rotation and Playoff series.

    I apologize BTS Our friendship isn't worth risking over Cody Bellinger.
  3. jaysblue
    Of course he did lol.

    Jays are paying $21M each season over the next three years for an aging No. 4 starter. I was never really a fan from the signing. Definitely was an overpay.

    f*** I took the advice from the Sheriff and some other posters on this board about trading Bellinger for Chris Sale. So far Bellinger has hit 5 HR's since I traded him.

    Yeah I'll make the exception for April games and Postseason games as well. If there is a team or player I really want to see, will make the exception.

    Got the Samsung 77" 4K HDR S95CA 2023 Atmos OLED TV and Samsung Q Series 11.1.4 Ch. Dolby Atmos Soundbar with rear speakers. Going to make watching baseball, movies and playing video games real fun!

    The experience with the roof closed is awful after visiting other ballparks in the US. I'm not a big fan. As well, with the price of tickets going up every season under Shapiro, expensive food and beer, and lineups + the time to get downtown and back if you live outside of the city. Would rather spend that money on a brand new 77" OLED television with the top of line speaker system out there (I just did lol). Also, this week the Honda Indy is on, so public transit and downtown in general will be a zoo.

    That sucks, was looking really forward to that pitching matchup! Hope Gausman is alright. Better to pay it safe anyways if he needs a couple days of rest.
  11. jaysblue
    He's been very disappointing this season. Nothing close to an elite player.
  12. jaysblue
    I bet both are out of the game after the 5th inning haha. D'backs are 2.40 tomorrow which are good odds. I hope the Jays win obviously but would bet the D'backs tomorrow at those odds.
  13. jaysblue
    They missed some opportunities in the 1st and 2nd inning haha. They should have been up 7-0 after 2 innings. But yeah solid win and great start to the second half!
  14. jaysblue
    Well they have until this point so far. McClanahan, Eflin, Glasnow and Bradley is still a pretty darn good rotation if everyone is healthy. In the Postseason, that rotation is more than fine.
  15. jaysblue
    A team like Arizona likely can't take on that money long term, especially if they want to sign some of their young players and arms to extensions at some point. Same with the Miami Marlins. Someone like the Phillies, Dodgers or Yankees could, same with the Jays. Dodgers and Yankees might be hesitant because they probably want to open up the wallet for Ohtani this offseason. Do you think the Jays would have enough prospect capital to acquire Arenado during the offseason if they wanted to? What would a package look like?
  16. jaysblue
    I'll go with Varsho tonight against his former team!
  17. jaysblue
    Crazy that the Rays have lost both Springs and Rasmussen until next season, and even McClanahan is on the IL. But the Rays will be fine. Can't say that about other teams.
  18. jaysblue
    Teams that could be looking for a 3B at the trade deadline: Yankees Twins Marlins Mets (if they decide to be buyers) Phillies D'Backs Dodgers (maybe) Yankees are a team that could afford Arenado past this season. Also, would include the Mets, Phillies and possibly the Dodgers, since they have big wallets. Phillies have Bohm who has been decent at 3B, though Arenado definitely is an improvement all around. Yankees and Dodgers could be interested though they both likely want to save money to make a big offer for Ohtani, so they might be hesitant taking on Arenado's contract. The other teams like the Twins, Marlins or D'Backs likely would prefer Chapman given there is no long term attachment past this season. Chapman would be a great fit either with the Marlins or D'Backs at 3B, and would be traded out of the division and league which is also a plus.
  19. jaysblue
    Some teams might not want to pay Arenado $94M past this season, so those teams probably view Chapman as a more attractive option if they don't want to tie themselves down past 2023.
  20. jaysblue
    Lmao every season so far with Atkins and company has been just the trailer! I'm still waiting for the movie! As for Biggio and Dickerson, it doesn't exactly have to be those guys. Again just was throwing out some names who could be cheap DH/1B/OF options during the offseason, similar to what Belt was last offseason. You're making it sound like it will be impossible to replace Belt as a DH haha. Heck even bring him back for $10-12M. I doubt he's getting multiple year offers this offseason.
  21. jaysblue
    Some teams might not like the money and years that come along with Arenado after this season. A team like the Blue Jays or another big market team could handle the cost and years. Chapman would be pretty much a rental and no long term attachments, so a team that doesn't want a long term commitment, Chapman is likely more attractive to them.
  22. jaysblue
    Belt had a 0 WAR in 2022 bud lmao. I'm sure if I suggested Belt last year at this time, you would be laughing at me. Pretty much that group of bats isn't any different as what Belt was last offseason. You're making it seem like it will be so difficult to replace a bat who platoons and plays DH. Tell me better 2B options who the Jays could sign or trade for? Obviously would love an upgrade over Biggio and Espinal, but please tell me! If the Jays add Arenado, they could live with Biggio/Espinal at 2B. If you want the Jays to cheap out on 2024 and 2025, you likely won't see the Jays winning a World Series in your lifetime!
  23. jaysblue
    Joey Votto Charlie Blackmon Evan Longoria Mark Canha Michael Brantley Jesse Winker Ji-Man Choi Garrett Cooper Corey Dickerson Robbie Grossman Aaron Hicks Mike Moustakas Literally here is a group of guys you can most likely sign for a cheap 1-year deal to DH, who could bat 8th or 9th, as well as play other positions and who could provide positive value and won't break the bank. It's not that difficult to replace Belt. Belt was an "anyone" the Jays signed before this season, lets be realistic. A lot of solid low cost options are available year-to-year.
  24. jaysblue
    Sign Pederson as a FA this offseason. Giants likely won't trade him given they're in contention. I'm just saying the best time for the Jays to trade for Arenado is likely before this trade deadline. They could move Chapman for assets that could be used to acquire Arenado. Supply/demand. There aren't any viable 3B options available via free agency or trade this offseason, so trading for Arenado wouldn't be a bad option.
  25. jaysblue
    Arenado doesn't eat up too much money. His contract isn't that bad! How do the Jays replace Chapman? If you have a solution please let us know! As for 2B, who else would the Jays sign or trade for? In house, Biggio/Espinal isn't that bad given they will bat 8th or 9th always. Belt literally was a 0 WAR guy in 2022 lmao. It's called finding value on the FA market. They did that with Belt last offseason. Try to do the same again with another guy. Finding a bat who you could use at DH and another position shouldn't be that difficult and break the bank, geez!
