Yessir! Wait, no. If he does hit the most HR you get 400

I will give you 20 to 1 odds on a 20$ bet that Acuna Jr does not hit the most HR's

I think the others are very bold just based on the odds of them happening.

Which ones?

1). Garrett Cooper hits 130 wRC± and gets an endorsement deal with miracle whip mayo. 2) Vlad Jr gets less than 250 PAs and struggles with injuries the entire year. 3) Bo Bichette gets called up by June 1st. 4) Jay's finish exactly with a .500 record 5) Victor Robles steals 45 or more bases 6) Ronald Acuna Jr leads the majors in HRs and wins NL MVP 7) The Chicago White Sox win the BJMB LoD fantasy league. 8) Andrew Vaughn goes 1st overall in the MLB draft.

I just check baseball cube.

Andrew Vaughn updated slash line: .451/611/882

Dazn doesn't show baseball that's not on the MLB network.

Young/Bloor midnight tonight. Be there or you're a huge puso

Yes it does.

DUNEDIN,​ Fla.​ – Yes,​ increasing​ minor​ leaguers’​ pay by​ 40 to 56 per​ cent in​ one fell swoop is a momentous move,​​ and indications exist that the Blue Jays might have triggered a trend. Club officials say the decision, announced to the players in the past few days, will put the Jays’ minor-league pay scale significantly ahead of the other 29 clubs. But they are not gloating. In fact, they insist they were not courting praise, although they’re hardly hiding from the compliments that have poured in from fans since Emily Waldon and Ken Rosenthal reported on the wage boost in a story for The Athletic on Sunday morning. The pay raises will not catapult Toronto farmhands into fancy condos or upscale restaurants. And baseball has much left to do to improve the lives of minor-league players, many of whom will still work for wages that put them below the poverty line while living in cramped quarters and enduring long bus rides, acknowledged Mike Murov, the Jays’ director of baseball operations. “It’s not something we wanted to do overly publicly because we’re not solving all of the issues with minor-league baseball,” Murov said in an interview. “We’re not going to toot our own horn when there are significant challenges that remain. Until you get comprehensive reform regarding facilities, wellness, travel, all of those things, there are going to be significant challenges.” Over the past three years, the Blue Jays have moved aggressively toward reform in those areas. Those inroads helped set the stage for the pay increases. So did a collective recognition within the front office – including the business side – that it was time to do “the right thing,” Murov said. Not that they had to. “It’s not a (collective-bargaining) issue,” Murov said. “It’s not a union issue. It’s a change that somebody has to just do. There’s a lot of inertia within this game, and you have to be able to zoom out and figure out what the right thing is to do.” Murov echoed what Ben Cherington, Toronto’s vice president of baseball operations, told Rosenthal: The pay increases will not be “life-changing” for any player. After a 40 per cent raise, a first-year Triple-A player will make roughly $3,050 per month or $15,250 for a five-month season. In Double-A, players will get 50 per cent boost to about $2,550 per month or $12,750 per season. Single-A players receive a 56 per cent raise to just less than $2,400 per month or a shade below $12,000 per season. It should be stressed that these figures are rough estimates, extrapolated by adding the Jays’ percentage increases to the minimum minor-league salaries set by Major League Baseball. They do not include bonuses or the wide variance in Triple-A salaries based on a player’s experience. And MLB mandates salaries for all players playing their first pro season. Beyond the percentage increases for each level, Murov declined to provide a more precise salary scale, citing privacy reasons. While the pay increases add a sizeable expense, he also refused to give the total amount the Blue Jays spend on minor-league operations, saying only that it’s “a seven-figure budget line.” Murov said rival clubs’ baseball operations officials have told him they’re pleased to see the Blue Jays take the lead on prospects’ salaries. Not every club makes its salary scale publicly available through MLB, he said, but it’s possible other teams either have taken similar action or contemplate doing so. Meanwhile, based on the information the Jays have gathered on other clubs, they are confident they now sit atop the pay leaderboard. If other teams follow suit, baseball will benefit, Murov said. This is not a race to the top but a move that might lead to a new consensus across the majors. “This year it seems like there are some winds of change, which I think is a good thing for the industry,” he said. “I don’t think anybody went to the same degree that we have, but there does seem to be sentiment within teams that it’s a change that should be made.” The Blue Jays have extended their largesse to managers and coaches in their minor-league system as well, general manager Ross Atkins said. “We’ve worked to substantially increase the compensation of minor-league staff, both in terms of salary and security,” Atkins said. In the past couple of years, the penurious level of minor-league pay has reached a higher level of public consciousness, in part because the U.S. Congress – lobbied aggressively by MLB – explicitly barred minor leaguers from qualifying for minimum wage. As well, three class-action lawsuits on behalf of the players attracted public attention. Murov said those legal disputes did not drive the Blue Jays’ decision, but he acknowledged that the increased public awareness was a factor. “Once something floats to consciousness, it’s easier to make a collective change,” he said. But Murov stressed that the pay increases are a natural progression from the Jays’ investments in other resources for minor-league players – high-performance medical and mental support; a greater emphasis on a healthy diet through staff nutritionists and better clubhouse food; and improved facilities (weight rooms, for example, and the major construction, now in its nascent stage, for new training quarters in Dunedin). “We’ve invested significantly in mental performance and on things that have gotten a lot of headlines over the years,” he said. “And we did feel like it was time to invest a little bit more significantly in the players and their ability to make good choices off the field.” Led by Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro, the pay increase evolved from a collaborative effort by staff across the spectrum, from baseball operations to human resources to finance to the legal department, Murov said. The buy-in was unanimous, he said. “It’s a conversation that’s been going on a while, and it just was about trying to figure out the right amount,” he said. “It’s was a challenge because there aren’t really any firm guideposts, but you have to figure out what’s doable, what’s achievable, what’s going to make an actual difference and what’s going to be sustainable in the future.”

Davies is the youngest player to score a goal in this league since 1999.
