    I Would add the Red Sox to the bubble list as well. They are playing better lately but still in 4th place in the division.

    Degrom would give the Jays a true Ace pitcher, but his injury history is scary and he's 37, so even without getting injured, age regression is a big concern as well. I'd be willing to make a trade for him, but the Rangers would have to eat a chuck of his remaining contract. He's the kind of guy that could put us in serious WS contention but this trade could also backfire on us badly too. It's a risky scenario for sure.

    Unwritten rule, you don't bunt when your up 7-1? Good way to get your teammate a ball to the ribs.

    Why does this feel like game 2 of the 2022 Wild Card series
  5. harvey16
    Let's hope Springer is okay, we can't afford to be down both Bichette and Springer, that would be killer.

    Vladdy not in the lineup tonight. Any word on the status of his injury? I know Xrays were negative, hopefully this is just and extra days rest scenario and nothing serious.

    I hate the challenge system for plays like this, even though the Jays benefited, this is not in the spirit of the rule. Challenge replay really needs to be revamped. It was the same as the play a few weeks ago with Springer jumping on the base.

    When did Lukes suffer a concussion?

    If you would of told me that Santander would be batting under .200 with a negative 0.9 War, that Varsho would have only played 1/3 of the teams games due to injury and that Vladdy would be on pace for 19 HRs and our closer would have an ERA close to 6, I would tell you that we must be in last place in the AL east, not holding down the 1st WC spot. Being 7 games over .500 is really impressive considering our big guns have underperformed badly. A resurgent Kirk, Bichette and Springer have really carried this team and Barger's breakout has been a pleasant suprise. Bullpen no names like Little, Fluarety and Fisher have really come out of nowhere as well to give the Jays one of the best BPs after a disastrous 2024.

    Hoffman has to be the worst 17 Save closer ever at this point of the season. He's converted 17 of 20 save opportunities, yet had an ERA of 5.70 and even his FIP is over 4.00. That's absolutely terrible stats for a closer.

    This is one of those games the Jays team the last couple of years would of lost. Great battling back in both the 10th and 11th to pull out the win. Huge victory to get us over the .500 mark. Let's keep it rolling on this road trip and end the month of May on a high!
  12. harvey16
    Apparently he is day to day with a sore hip. Probably from too many swing and misses lol
  13. harvey16
    Why is Varsho out of the lineup again? He's Swinging a hot bat, need to keep him in the lineup, even as DH if they are still nursing his shoulder.
  14. harvey16
    I say 10y/$325m gets it done. He's not signing for anything less then $300M
  15. harvey16
    When was the last time both WS teams from the previous season missed both missed the postseason the next year?
  16. harvey16
    Would be curious to see what the average pitch velocity is now compared to 30 years ago? I remember back in the Jays WS days, 95 mph was considered serious gas, now there are so many pitchers that can throw 100 mph+ and bullpen are so much better! It makes sense that HR are up and averages are down. Ball is gonna travel further off a 100 mph pitch then a 90 mph pitch, but 100 mph pitch is gonna miss alot more bats. I wouldn't be surprised if offense continues to trend downward that we don't see some type of modification to the pitching mound, like they did in 1969 when they lowered the mound 5 inches. Mind you offensive numbers were much lower in 1968 then they are today though batting averages are about the same now as they were in 1968.

    Wow, that is a massive overpay for a guy turning 32 next year that hasn't hit above .250 or an OPS over .800 in 5 years. He's clearly declining including his defensive matrix. How can the Giants front office not see this?
  18. harvey16
    We already have a power hitting 1B with .900+ OPS. His name is Vladdy Jr. It's unfortunate that we didn't extend him earlier this year. We probably could have gotten him for about $250M, with the tear his on now probably gonna cost us at least $350M now. Can't see him getting anything less then $300M or AAV of $30M and a 10 year min contract. Anything less then a 10 year deal probably looking at $35M+ AAV
  19. harvey16
    Must say, I'm shocked the Jays are still pulling in the crowds they are. 35k for a Tuesday game vs Baltimore is impressive considering they are out of playoff contention and basically fielding a AAA ball club.
  20. harvey16
    I don't think I've ever seen a hot streak like this even during Vladdys 2021 season. He has basically gone from on OPS in the low .700 in June to and OPS of .930 now. It's conceivable for him to OPS over 1.000 if he keeps upset this pace the rest of the year. He's gonna get paid! I'd be willing to go 8 year/$240M to get him signed. Anything more then 8 years is too risky in my opinion. Still also gives him an opportunity at 1 more big contract after this one. I think it's gonna take $30M AAV on any contract shorter then 10 years. 10+ years you might be able to lower the AAV to around 26-27M. Vladdy doesn't have the body that will age well into his mid to late 30s though.

    They were already under the Luxury Tax Threshold after the Kikucki trade yesterday.
  22. harvey16
    Vladdy OPSing over .900 now. 2021 Vladdy is back! Extend this guy now!
  23. harvey16
    According to Spotrac they are now $4.3M under the competitive tax balance threshold since Houston will now be paying $3.3M of Kikuchi's remaining salary for this season. This is absolutely huge as it now resets the Luxury Tax penalty back to the minimum 20% for next season. That could be a potential $20M in savings if the Jays go wild in the off-season and go up to a $300M payroll. I have a feeling we are in for a crazy off season like we have never seen before. I can see some big FA signings after a disappointing year. Organization is gonna want to capitalize on the renos and not lose their fan base after a dissatourous season.
  24. harvey16
    Can't believe the M's are eating his entire remaining salary! They are desperate. This is huge in helping the Jays get under the Luxury Tax Threshold. Will allow them to go over next year at only a 20% tax penalty instead of 50% since it will reset. I have a feeling they ate gonna be going all in next year and will be big spenders in the FA market in the off season. This actually gives me hope.
  25. harvey16
    How did the Rays not challenge that? It was another unbelievable play by Varsho but it clearly hit the wall before it went into his glove.
