    Yeah not sure why Reese is in there against a lefty. Just bizarre that the Jays are leaving Kirk in the minors to ride out a hot streak that’s probably already over from a scrub.

    "Why do the Jays need to get Nelson Cruz?" Every time Grichuk comes back and you realize he's playing everyday, that's why.
  3. glory
    Yeah seems like a lot of Jay Allen to the Jays in the mocks posted here. I know next to nothing about amateur prospects so I don't know if that would be a good pick or not, but can't argue with the Jays drafting under the Atkins regime (last 3 first round picks being Groshans, Manoah, and Martin) so will trust them either way.

    If the Cubs took Grichuk back, then I think a Kimbrel deal makes more sense. Only a minor hit to 2022 payroll (about $5-6m more) followed by a ~$10m savings in 2023, but the Jays would have to add some real sweetener in that deal as Grichuk provides no type of value to the Cubs. I vaguely remember reading that Atkins wanted to save financial bullets for this coming winter, which is why other than Springer it was basically all one year deals, so as mentioned before I don't think they take Kimbrel if they are adding $16m to the payroll next year. If they are only adding ~$5m (with Grich included), then it's a different ballgame. Don't think either scenario is all that likely.
  5. glory
    Yeah I think Bauer ends up skating out of this, unless more women come forward.

    If Kimbrel only needs 26 more games finished for his option to vest, then he'd get that before September with the way Buntoyo uses relievers. The Jays would have to be willing to have him back at $16m next year, and I'm not sure they would. Atkins doesn't usually invest heavily in the pen. My guess is he'll find a more cost effective RP or two that are having bad years but have great K rates and velocity.

    Imagine getting the highest AAV of any player in your sport, and then within 3 months risking it all for a random on social. Or maybe someone told him that nothing will ever be as embarrassing as the rap song he recorded years ago, and Trevor took that as a challenge.

    Not the perfect fit since a DH-only is a bit restrictive, but for a DH-only who can put up a 140-150 wRC+, I think you can find a way to make it work.
  9. glory
    Doesn't sound like an actual rumor, but hell yes to adding Cruz. Use Grichuk as the 4th OF, rest Cruz a few times a week due to his age (which would open up DH for Vlad/Springer when necessary), and outslug everyone.
  10. glory
    Richards, Cimber, Mayza, and Romano to seal this win.

    I'm glad the Jays scored off Harvey. This game needs to be a blow out. Beat up on the s*** bag SPs.
  12. glory
    Thornton gone. Now just need another bullpen add or two to displace Dolis and Chatwood, who are both very dangerous because Buntoyo will not hesitate to use them in high leverage spots.
  13. glory
    First base is a big area of weakness for the Brewers, and Tellez (at least the 2020 version) has shown some glimpses of upside with the bat. Whether he turns into anything remains to be seen, but for a reliever and a fringe SP prospect, I think the Brewers made out pretty well. If Rowdy flops, no big loss for them. A good trade for both sides.
  14. glory
    Same thing happened with Sheffield against the M's last week. He looked so bad and hittable but the Jays couldn't break through against him and eventually lost. Jays offense is really good but they need to feast off the bad pitching when it's there for the taking.
  15. glory
    In 2019 I thought Thornton could make a pretty decent multi inning reliever, but he's actually a worse RP than he was a SP (he at least put up a 2 WAR season as a SP).
  16. glory
    Grandal out for 4-6 weeks. Maybe they'd be interested in Reese now.
  17. glory
    Rowdy going to the Brewers is like the least surprising thing ever. He was out of a spot with the Jays with Vlad at 1B so this was inevitable. Good to see Atkins add some pen help for expendable parts. Guys like Richard and Cimber should be solid out of the pen as secondary options behind Dolis late in games.

    Given how slow Canada has been to approve this, my guess is the Jays will be playing in either an empty stadium or capacity that is so small that they'd have more fans in the stands if they stay in Buffalo. I don't live in Canada, so I'm sure I'll be wrong on that (hope so) but I don't think they go 0 to 100 on this one. Even 0 to 25 is a push.
  19. glory
    The best way to get Dolis back on the right track is to use him in high leverage situations late in games. Especially against the Red Sox and Rays. Use pitchers like Romano when the score is 6-1. When it's a close game? Against a division rival ahead of you in the standings? Doleese time.
  20. glory
    Romano and Dolis were warming up side by side and that moron still went with Dolis. Unbelievable.
  21. glory
    Perfect time to use a returning Dolis. Not like this was an important game or anything.
  22. glory
    I’m scared that I know Buntoyo this well. We need a manager change before I start agreeing with him.
  23. glory
    If it stays 6-1 I’m positive Romano is coming in.
  24. glory
    Seriously. Espinal looks like a very solid utility infielder but he was buried in favor of the s***** vetrin. At least the nightmare is over.
  25. glory
    Blowing out the Rays is a rarity so have to enjoy these moments. Time to take the next two. Sweep these mofos and get legit back in the WC race.
