    Is this the Leafs version of the BJMB?

    Is Ohtani available to pitch at all out of the BP?

    His last name is Popkins. Exactly what the Jays lineup needs!

    Of course, will be wearing my Milano jersey. I have Bills seasons you dingleberry!

    Would be the ideal role for Clement if this team plans on contending. Always need Chris Taylor type of guys around.

    Would rather trade for Arenado and his contract than signing Bregman to a 7 or 8 year deal of $25M AAV per season.

    I'm going to the Bills game tomorrow!

    I'm trying to be an active manager and want to shake up my team. Welcome to Fantasy Basketball or any Fantasy league!

    They likely can't acquire a David Price type of arm at the deadline or another top player given the state of their farm system. There will be competition for any top arm or player available at the deadline. Would be tough as it stands now, but yes a lot could change during the season especially if some guys in the minors get off to solid starts and build up some value. Jays need to add some elite pieces now, not in July. Best way would be to spend as much money as Rogers allows this offseason and then hopefully use whatever assets they have at the July Trade Deadline to patch up any holes on the roster or for upgrades.

    I mentioned Arenado's name last year as a possible trade candidate and the issue was that the Jays didn't have enough money and that his contract was awful. His contract isn't that bad moving forward with the Rockies paying a portion of his 2026 and 2027 season. $52M owing over the next three seasons which isn't bad at all. Maybe a trade reignites his bat again. He still produced a 3.1 WAR this past season despite the poor offensive numbers. Maybe there is another 5 to 6 WAR season in him.

    If they have $45-50M in payroll to spend, not sure they have enough. Bregman will match what Chapman got or likely more. Teo after the season he had likely gets a 3 or 4 year deal worth $20M + AAV. Two "elite" bullpen arms are going to likely be around $12-15M AAV each as well. Unless the Jays are allowed to spend more than the $45-50M, they likely have to aim a lot lower than the names you suggested.

    Yeah big loss for Cleveland going down 3 to 1. They really needed to win Game 4. Stanton on a tear in the postseason. If he was able to stay healthy all these years, imagine the numbers he would have put up. One of the best power hitters IMO.

    Atkins still made some good moves in 2022 and 2023. The Chapman trade was great and he still made some great FA signings in Gausman & Kikuchi that offseason. The following offseason, Brandon Belt and KK were solid signings. I think Atkins biggest mistakes were a misjudgment in roster construction. Like for example, the 2021 team lacked a very good bullpen which cost them from making the Playoffs by one game. In 2022, it was awful defense. In 2023, it was the lack of punch in the lineup after going too heavily on defensive minded players. In 2024, it was some poor FA signings (outside of IKF) along with the weak farm system being exposed when they lost a lot of BP arms or other players to injuries. Atkins has been so/so during his tenure here. He's done some things very well but has also done some things very poorly. It's been mediocre overall, which is a fair assessment.

    AA traded for Donaldson and signed Russell Martin to that 5-year deal prior to the 2015 season. He never really went on a crazy spending spree or scorched earth during the offseason. At the trade deadline, different story. Went after David Price, Tulo, Ben Revere, Latroy Hawkins and Mark Lowe. Jays don't really have the assets like they did in 2015 to acquire big pieces at the trade deadline. Atkins will have to spend his way pretty much to add wins for 2025.

    Spanky just went AWOL. Hope he is okay.

    Olympic Stadium is in the middle of nowhere in Montreal. Ideally a new ballpark or state-of-the-art venue should be built downtown or along the waterfront.
  17. jaysblue
    I've sent some trade offers out.
  18. jaysblue
    Would actually be cool if the Rays played some home games at the Rogers Centre if it's available haha.
  19. jaysblue
    Yeah not a bad idea. Sure they can play some series down in Puerto Rico or Dominican. MLBPA would have to approve and some teams might object to playing somewhere else geographically. Could also play some games at the Marlins ballpark or Truist Park in Atlanta when they're not being used. Turner Field in Atlanta is still up, but Georgia State renovated it and turned it into a football stadium lol.
  20. jaysblue
    Ah darn. Not sure where else in Florida they could go.
  21. jaysblue
    Not sure if any team plays there throughout the year. They probably could schedule maybe like 40 or so home games during the regular season. Orlando is a tourist spot, so might get some decent attendance.
  22. jaysblue
    Yeah but the Dunedin Jays play there throughout the season. It's gonna be tough to play at a ST ballpark since most are used during the season. George M. Steinbrenner Field is right next to the football stadium where the Bucs play, so it's right in Tampa. Don't think any minor league club plays there throughout the year.
  23. jaysblue
    Am I okay making my pick now?
  24. jaysblue
    I guess since Spanky has two consecutive picks, he gets a 12 hour window total.
  25. jaysblue
    Since the Rays are an AL East team, I think Montreal would make the most sense. Only other option is if they play down in a ST park somewhere in Florida but that will be tough with minor league ball going on or Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
