  1. If the whole "Jays as leverage" narrative is as true as people believe, you have to wonder if it would even work anymore. Boras - Guys, you better up your offer because we got a better one from Toronto. Every GM - We all know nobody's going to Toronto, Scott. Shut up
  2. Mmm yeah kinda. It feels like it was Mets or bust for him. I think we probably did offer more years or dollars, or both
  3. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe we're always just being used for leverage. Sometimes we are, and sometimes we just legitimately finish second for a player.
  4. I don't think we were ever even his fallback option. We were always just leverage and he would have gone back to the Mets for pennies.
  5. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/bregging-the-question/ Pretty neat. Does this affect anyone's opinion about whether we should be balls deep on acquiring Bregman? How do y'all feel about their assessment of our playoff odds?
  6. What say you guys on a trade for Tatis Jr? Evidently, noted baseball genius, Harold Reynolds thinks the Pads should trade him to save some money. I can't see it. But if we can't pull in Alonso or Bregman, and they would be willing to trade him, would you do it? What would you be willing to give up?
  7. I hear you, it would be weird to see him in another uniform. But it's probably just too much ponying for my liking. The hope for an extension, as opposed to a free agent contract, is some amount of "home town discount" or "shared risk" or whatever euphemism you prefer. But it seems he's giving the Jays no quarter. If he's not getting traded, at this point, they might as well play it out, let him walk, back up the truck for Tucker and possibly circle back to give Vladdy a quadrillion dollars after finishing second for Tucker. Or just don't and let some other team sign his disaster contract.
  8. Idk, I kinda just don't want Vladdy extended. He's a good player, sure. But just doesn't seem like a mega contract guy. If he were doing his thing from shortstop or centerfield, then by all means, back up the truck. We know this organization is willing to give out some crazy deals, they've certainly tried. Yet they haven't done it with Vladdy and it's telling. Fun fact - every team to ever win a world series has done it without Vladdy. We don't NEED him. Would it be nice to have a guy like him locked up? Sure, but not for what he's gonna get.
  9. Not sure how close Springer ever was with Bregman but I kinda hope he's recruiting the s*** out if him. Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but you never know what might work for someone.
  10. I like the way you're thinking here. Fingers crossed this makes a difference like that!
  11. Wow awesome. This has turned into a pretty good off-season. If they can pull in one of the big bats I'd say it's been a great one
  12. Would you guys prefer Alonso 3 for $90mil or Bregman 6 for $180mil?
  13. Yeah I hope they do trade for Mountcastle, or whoever really. It feels like Alonso isn't coming here until the Mets slam the door in his face
  14. https://jaysjournal.com/the-one-big-splash-the-toronto-blue-jays-should-be-all-in-on-dodgers-gm?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=topic%2Ftorontobluejays Thoughts?
  15. Merry everything everyone! Wishing you all a safe, awesome holiday season. And an even more awesome, upcoming beisbol season for the Jays.
  16. What do you guys think is the best case scenario for Votto on the field? And does anyone think he's likely to out produce Vogelbach?
  17. I'll say 86 wins. I could see as many as 90 or as few as 83.
  18. A bunch of Fever Pitch was filmed in Toronto. I was an extra in that movie, smoking a cigarette outside the school lol
  19. Absolutely, good point. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash the front office too hard here. They've made some big moves, big signings, and spent a ton of money. They are clearly trying. I'm just giving my take on what I believe the "Vald hate" is all about for some, maybe many, people.
  20. If Vladdy were on a massive contract the hate would certainly be worse. But the issue is that, because of his reputation, it seems the team is unwilling to make the types of moves necessary to compete with the big boys. Vladdy was supposed to be an elite player. Fair or not. Not good, elite. And the team is built as though he is. If he were anelite player the team around him would be good enough, I believe. Atkins believes he is an elite player and has built the team accordingly. It wouldn't be a problem if he were an elite player. But not only is he not one, he's not even great. And he's not even very good. Is he a good player? I guess. Not a top 10 first baseman with bad defense, no base running and a low beisbol IQ. I mean is that good? Whatever he is it's not good enough and people feel it every time the team doesn't make a strong run in the playoffs and he remains the teams "best " player season after crushing season.
  21. Merry Christmas, you f***ers! And a happy next season!
  22. Chapman 5/$90 mil Belli 7/$168 mil Probably doesn't get it done for either of them
  23. Yessssss how about that for a first atbat? Lol awesome
