  1. There's no way they'd have gone through all the trouble of approaching the government if they didn't have clearance with the league and players first.
  2. Jays fan in Buffalo just said it's not even sprinkling right now.
  3. Yup. And Holman or his dad mentioned in one of the articles that both the Jays and Rays had notified them that they'd take them in the 20th round.
  4. I think you asked if MiLB TV was worth it a few days ago? Can check it out for yourself! Free trial this weekend: https://www.mlb.com/news/10-milb-tv-matchups-to-watch-on-milb-major-fun-weekend
  5. If the Jays hadn't picked up Holman with their last pick, the Rays were about to nab him with theirs. Would be awesome if they could find some magic and sign both Carter and Holman.
  6. Game #88 Texas Rangers (Lyles) @ Toronto Blue Jays (Ray) Schedule | Standings | FanGraphs | News | Video | Spotlight | Twitter | Reddit | Instagram
  7. According to Callis, Hoglund was the first 1st rounder to sign.
  8. Bad news for the Yankees: All 6 COVID cases on the team have been confirmed. That means Judge, Urshela, Higashioka, Loaisiga, Cortes and Peralta are all going on the COVID IL. Good news for the rest of the league: All five of the Red Sox All-Stars tested negative. Sounds like Judge caught it from his teammates and not at the ASG.
  9. Came here to post this. Saving even 110K here is big in a draft where they have such a small pool.
  10. Usually roll my eyes at cherrypicked stats like this but all of these are big round numbers and common milestones for each of these stats. Frankly kinda bonkers nobody's ever done it before. There's also a guy on reddit who ran some Stathead searches to remove some of these qualifiers: Most of the searches were still only Bo alone. The ones that weren't were mostly hall-of-famers.
  11. Jasson Dominguez is kinda scary. His 70 speed tool looks legit and might actually be an 80. Finished with one of the ugliest slides you'll ever see but he went 1st to 3rd in 11 seconds.
  12. I'd prefer they finish something like 78-84 (with none of the wins coming against the Jays). Bad enough to embarrass them but high enough to where they get a s***** draft pick.
  13. Also, don't expect Scherzer to hit the market anytime soon. Passan says both Nats and Phillies are acting like buyers right now.
  14. Pederson's stock was basically nothing. Braves gave up a guy outside their top 20 prospects. Former 24th round pick hitting .207 in High-A. Essentially a pure salary dump for the 2M or so remaining on his contract.
  15. Jays announced the upcoming starters. Ray, Ryu and Matz open the Rangers series, which lines up their three best current starters in Manoah, Stripling and Ray for the Boston series. Not sure if the front office set this up or it was Montoyo's call but credit where credit is due. Shrewd rotation management.
  16. f***ing Yankees. Not only is baseball cancelled tonight, Judge being one of the guys in the protocol and having just gone to the All-Star game is going to cause headaches throughout the league.
  17. It's funny how well the Blue Jays not signing players has worked for them in the past, lmao. They don't sign Tyler Beede in 2011, the next year they use that pick to get Marcus Stroman. They don't sign Phil Bickford in 2013, they use the saved money that year to sign Tellez and Brentz and the flexibility the next year let's them take a risk on Jeff Hoffman. They don't sign Brady Singer in 2015, they wind up with two 2nd rounders in 2016 and use one to go underslot and use the savings and the other pick to sign Bo Bichette. Maybe they should fail to sign players more often.
  18. What ever happened to Ace? He had numbers in his name. He was always super insightful and a quality contributor around the draft. Still remember how much he hyped Tanner Houck as a high schooler. Jays even went on to draft him that year. Shame they didn't have the money to sign him.
  19. Yeah, looking at those years, AA wound up drafting better players with his punt picks than he did at the top of the draft, lmao. How hilarious/tragic is it that in a draft where they picked up Jeff Hoffman, Max Pentecost and Sean Reid-Foley with their first three selections, the guy who posts the most career fWAR will probably be the $25,000 10th round punt pick, Jordan Romano? Here's the signing list from that year: https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/3057-2014-Blue-Jays-Draft-Signings-Bonuses-and-Rumors-Thread
  20. Except they pulled it off twice in the same year with Rowdy Tellez and Jake Brentz. They did it again in 2015 with Reggie Pruitt despite losing the $1.1M value slot of the 56th pick when Brady Singer didn't sign. It's obviously tough but it happens and the Jays have shown the ability to do it in the past.
