    A lot of seats were purchased early last winter because they were speculating an Ohtani signing along with the new renos at the dome. I had a co-worker who bought season tickets last November for that very reason and she told me over the summer she isn't renewing after the disastrous start they had. She had difficulty reselling tickets after and had to take a big loss majority of the time. You will have a lot of casuals just buying tickets online at the last minute for the cheapest they could get, so they can go stand up and hang out at one of the rooftop bars in the summer months when the roof is open. Otherwise, weeknight games in April/May when the roof is closed and when the Leafs are in the Playoffs - a lot of empty seats. Come May long weekend, June and July, with nice weather, the Dome will fill up. But even still, I bet a lot of resellers will be taking a huge loss and you'll be able to buy seats way cheaper than the Jays box office.

    Rest of Blue Jays offseason: - Mark Canha (1 year, $8M) - Josh Bell (1 year, $8M) - Martin Perez (1 year, $7M) - Carlos Estevez (2 year, $20M) - Josh Rojas (1 year, $7.5M) $40M spent across all 5 positions!

    Yup. Really disappointing.
  4. jaysblue
    Watch them sign an Anthony Rizzo or Josh Bell or Mark Canha.

    Like you're telling me the Jays couldn't beat that offer? Heck I'm sure you offered 3/72, or 4/80ish he would have came back to Toronto.

    I have no idea what the Blue Jays plan is other than to play defense with a bunch of utility infielders. Atkins has no clear vision or plan at all.
  7. jaysblue
    Keep dreaming buddy!
  8. jaysblue
    Santander ain't coming to Toronto lol.
  9. jaysblue
    Damnit!
  10. jaysblue
    Definitely would be a sick infield defensively with Chapman, Adames and Bregman.
  11. jaysblue
    Yeah Yankees could use a 3B and then move Jazz to 2B or the outfield.
  12. jaysblue
    To play him at 2B?
  13. jaysblue
    No lmao. If you think that's the batting lineup 1 through 9, you crazy haha.
  14. jaysblue
    Yeah nice pickup by the Tigers. He should bounce back and give them 2-3 WAR.
  15. jaysblue
    Lineup: C Kirk 1B Alonso 2B Gimenez SS Bichette 3B Guerrero LF Hernandez or Santander CF Varsho RF Springer DH Wagner and use as a revolving door
  16. jaysblue
    Jays lineup needs power anyway they could get it. Would sign Alonso to a one-year pillow worth $25M or so and move Vladdy to 3B in a 60/40 split with Clement. The days Vladdy doesn't play 3B, move him to 1B and have Alonso DH, or have Vladdy DH while Alonso plays 1B. Keep the DH spot a revolving door for players to get rest like Springer, Vladdy, Alonso, Bo, etc. Sign a bat like Teo or Santander for LF on top of that. Or as a Plan B, sign Profar. Lineup doesn't look that bad after at all.
  17. jaysblue
    Hopefully he improves. I got him in the LOD haha!
  18. jaysblue
    Would take that deal in a heartbeat. I don't think Fried is anything that special in fantasy baseball. He's a better arm for a team in real life. His K/9 isn't elite like other top starters available. Maybe he'll rack up high Win totals with the Yankees, and a solid low 3 or high 2 ERA but that's it. He's also an injury risk as well.

    Happy Boxing Day week!

    If the Jays ended up trading Alex Rios to the Giants after the 2007 season, what could have been haha.
  21. jaysblue
    Turned out to be a fantastic signing by AA. Martin played a big role on both the 2015 and 2016 teams. Hope Martin can make his way into the HoF at some point.

    Jays just need to make a decision regarding Vladdy rather than staying in limbo. 1) Trade him for young MLB ready pieces and still remain competitive (like L54 said, you free up $30M in arb money that you could use on a bat like Alonso and also acquire likely 2 or 3 pieces that help you in other areas for 2025 and beyond). 2) Sign him to an extension which makes him the face of the franchise for the next decade and you build around him. 3) Stand pat though go all-in for 2025 with Vladdy under control for one more year. Most unlikely scenario to happen since it's been a quiet offseason thus far and the amount of options in free agency is dwindling. 4) Stand pat, keeping the status quo and not improving the club significantly for a run in 2025. The worst IMO would be Option 4 and that could definitely be a possibility. Keeping Vladdy and not doing much else at improving the club for 2025 would be awful.

    I remember when he was with the White Sox and squared off against Roy Halladay I think in 2006 or 2007. One of the shortest MLB games haha. Loved how Buehrle was a quick worker and one of the most durable starters in the game. Sucks he retired early - probably could have pitched into his early 40's. What a memorable career!
  24. jaysblue
    I was at that game. So much buzz and excitement for that Opening Day! Watching Doc battle Santana was awesome on Opening Day. Two of the best pitchers in baseball at the time. Went to the Game 2 the following day, and Josh Towers got rocked, which was the start of his 2-10 season with an 8.42 ERA haha.

    Blue Jays signed Juan Acevedo in 2003 after he was released by the Yankees and pitched for the Jays for about 1.5 months. When I was a kid, got an autographed ball from him which was cool.
