Ya, we had to realistically expect this to be something like an 8/500m year deal, we figured at age 33/34 he was going to hit replacement level or negative war. So Vlad has to be amazing every year to be worth 62.5m a year. It was just a really really bad contract from the get go, and management is lucky they are pushing a 290m payroll. The last 7-8 years of this are going to be utterly terrible. I mean Vladdy most likely comes back to a 3-4 war player (we hope) next year. We all realistically expected this decline to happen around 30, the fact it's happening now and he's not giving the team 6-7 WAR in his peak years means he will have to be that much better later on which is most likely not happening.

lol don’t they have like 6-7 top 100 prospects already?

Great deal for Astros, not too long either. Thought he’d get more.

Mariners traded a top 50 prospect for who?? lol they could have easily signed 10+ relievers without giving that up.

That's exactly what they need. They sign a reliever or trade for one at some point.

Wish there was a way to unload Santander and just sign BO + Cease, such a bad signing last year and some people liked it.

The Jays are all in now anyways. They will probably have to go over the luxury tax. They need BO + Cease + RP. Yanks will make moves to get better + Red Sox have impactful prospects and are young and getting better. Jays could fall to third depending on what they do here.

Is there a reason why Schneider didn’t pitch hit for Giminez?

Especially when you pull Bichette too and need that bat

Terrible managing

Barger should have been hitting there, there was no point to pulling him

You don't want the band-aid pulled off already instead of floating at .500 and doing nothing? I mean, it was so predictable the way things are going this year. Aren't we ready for the tear down? Middle of the pack with a high payroll, worst farm system, bad contracts, and no budget room is not exactly a good situation lol.

Same posters who thought Travis Snider was going to be the next Mike Trout lol? There's not much to be excited about, Jays need to rebuild for several years and new management.

Have heard in the 300m range. Would have been great to trade Vladdy + sign Tucker. But, when Shatkins gets fired we can go through all the logical things the team should have done.

If Shatkins gets fired, does the Vladdy contract get terminated since it doesn't start until next year?
