Yeah the lineup is pretty awful. They need to keep Manaea and Montas or else that rotation is in shambles. They need to add some stopgap guys to their lineup and hope they get lucky with two or three guys.
-
Outside of the Astros, it's still a pretty weak division. Pitching wise I think they'll be fine and they will add some bullpen pieces. They need some bodies to play infield. They have Eric Thames though haha. I could see the A's targeting some free agents on the cheap who could have bounceback seasons. They could scratch out 85-90 wins if they get lucky with some guys.

Any professional sports team shouldn't do that. You don't treat your franchise players like that. Pretty bush league if you ask me. Nothing wrong with the Browns looking for an upgrade at QB, but they shouldn't be out in the open like it was. Now they weren't able to get Watson, it completely backfires since you have a disgruntled Mayfield who likely won't give a 100% and now demanding a trade. The right way to go about it like how the Raptors traded DeRozan for Leonard. Masai never went out in the media and made it known that the Raptors were openly exploring for an upgrade over DeRozan. He made the trade without DeRozan knowing anything. Imagine if it got out the Raps were open to trading for Leonard by dangling DeRozan and the trade never happens? You for sure would have a pissed off DeRozan demanding a trade after as well.

NYC likely will drop those mandates before Opening Day, so he'll be able to play home games. The city already scrapped their vaccine passport system and even masks mandates as well. A lot of these Democrat states are scrapping everything because the Midterms approaching this fall. Canada is a different story however. I could see the Federal Government dropping mandates maybe at some point in May/June since a lot of countries now, even the UK removed all restrictions to enter. So at some point, Canada will have to follow.

As well, would like to add as a baseball fan in general, if I go to the Rogers Centre and pay to see a Yankees/Red Sox game or any team for that matter, I want to watch their best players compete. I understand the advantage the Jays would have against some of these teams if their best players aren't playing in a 3 game set against them. At the end of the day as a baseball fan, I want to see the best players on the field at all times whenever possible.

Taking a neutral stance here and hope it doesn't come off as too political. Most people I know who got COVID were double or triple vaxxed. Some of my family members who are triple jabbed caught and spread COVID amongst each other. The vaccine doesn't prevent the spread of COVID so a lot of these policies in place don't make much sense. Again, I couldn't care if people or players are vaxxed or unvaxxed and I'm not taking a side on either. It's their own personal choice. But from what we have seen this past winter, anyone can catch and spread COVID. An athlete like Aaron Judge, who is healthy and in fantastic shape is at zero risk essentially. Like is he a threat or danger to all the other players on the field and in the clubhouse? How about those vaxxed players who after the game go out to bars and for dinner, etc.? Aren't they interacting amongst unvaxxed individuals outside of the ballpark? Again, not taking a pro stance for either side, but these policies just don't make sense.

Would welcome back Josh Donaldson in a heartbeat.
-
Roy Halladay, Roberto Alomar, Jose Bautista, Dave Stieb. Also, would have Delgado or heck even entertain having Joe Carter for hitting that big home run haha.

Most of the provinces across the country are dropping restrictions and mandates. Unvaccinated workers and fans can be in the ballpark, though unvaccinated athletes can't play? Most countries around the world now are scrapping restrictions and mandates as well. I don't expect this Federal Government to drop these stupid mandates anytime soon like you said, even when the science shows theses mandates really don't do anything to stop virus transmission. If I was an American player, better off signing with a team in the States anyways. Lower taxes, better weather, cities, ballparks and easier to travel domestically instead of crossing a border ever 10-12 days.

Canada should scrap all these stupid rules anyways. It's ridiculous.

The lockout is over. Baseball is back.

I've made my picks in a timely fashion! -
I think he could have played another 2 or 3 seasons easily at a high level. Probably could have even played till 50 if he wanted to. What he has accomplished since 2001/2002, nobody else in the NFL has accomplished or even has come close during that time period. Happy to have witnessed greatness for these last two decades and even getting the chance to see his last two games live!
-
For sure. Has to be one of the Top 3 athletes of all time in my opinion, across all sports.
-
I only have 7 specs, so I'm ok then?
-
How many players can I keep?
-
I still need to win a championship in this league, so lets not fold it yet!
-
He'll bounce back next season!

Trade Deadline Rumors and Discussion Thread 2021
jaysblue replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Focus on stacking up in the bullpen and add another big bat or two. Starting pitching likely will be too expensive. In a short postseason series, having Ryu, Manoah, Ray and one of Matz, Pearson or Stripling as a No. 4 option isn't bad. Focus on shortening the games by adding elite relievers. Go hard after one of Kimbrel, Ian Kennedy, Richard Rodriguez and some other elite late inning guys. Bring in a big bat like Gallo and/or Cruz. Would be awesome! -
George Knox was my favourite manager!
-
Was offered Gabriel Arias and Kevin Alcantara for Joey Votto in a 20-team dynasty league. I have Paul Goldschmidt at 1B and Stanton is occupying my DH spot. Those guys are really far away, but worth the reward down the road?
-
Scott Kazmir immediately slides into my LOD rotation!
-
Yup very true. But it was a pretty damn good season. I don't count 2020 at all. Most of his damage in 2019 came in the second half so he could be slow starter with the bat and heat up in the summer months. Hoping he can be like Jose Bautista or Josh Donaldson in their 30-35 years. The power and SB numbers from Semien thus far are nice. Hoping he can be at least a 20/20 guy with better all around numbers.
-
Pretty close. Tough to say. But if Torres loses SS eligibility down the road, he won't be as valuable IMO unless he hits like he does in 2019.
