    Bieber, Scherzer, Pray. Playoff rotation.

    If France is going to be 2023 Paul DeJong, meaning he is going to get bounced as soon as injured players come back, then I can live with that even though it might be painful to watch while he's here. Springer is old and on concussion protocol so maybe they wanted some RHH depth in case he's out longer than expected and France (unfortunately) was the best they could do. Atkins just made 3 deals based purely on ceiling/upside (Bieber, Varland, Dominguez). France doesn't do anything for upside and he might actually lower the team's floor, so hopefully it's just a short term depth move. In other words, please be healthy soon George!

    Jays have now given up the 2nd most HR's in baseball, passing the Orioles. Only team worse than them in that category are the A's who play in a minor league park. Having an elite defense when all your pitchers do is give up home runs is not ideal.

    The Yankees just blew a 9-4 lead because trade deadline pickups Bird and Bednar getting rocked. The Jays night stunk but I guess it could be worse (of course Yanks could still come back and win, currently down 10-9 in the 7th).

    Gausman giving up a lot of hard contact. Man he's so frustrating. You never know if you're getting the good version or whatever this is from start to start.
  6. glory
    Yeah really just need him to go on a hot streak for a few weeks, which isn't an unreasonable ask. How likely it is remains to be seen.

    Giving a veteran player to Schneider is one of the most dangerous things the front office could do. Gotta hope for a Steve Pearce 2018 run here.

    Looks like tonight's lineup is: RF Lukes LF Loperfido 1B Vladdy SS Bichette 3B Barger DH France CF Varsho 2B Clement CA Heineman Sucks about Springer. Hopefully he's back soon with no issues.

    Getting rid of Roden and Wagner (on the same day no less) was a great sign, IMO. I don't ever want to go into another spring training hearing the front office talk up 26-27 year old slap hitting dudes with no power as if they are about to become core players. If there's any indication that Boss Atkins is back, it's dumping those two.

    I wouldn't rule out Loperfido being the one optioned. As bad as Clement has been against RHP, it seems like Schneider views him as an everyday player, so I expect Clement at 3B/Barger in RF to be the main lineup against RHP once Gimenez returns. In that alignment, having a bench of France/DS/Straw makes more sense as the Jays would have 4 lefties in the starting lineup so there's a bit more balance. If the Jays intend on starting Loperfido against RHP and benching Clement (very unlikely given Schneider plays Ernie like a little league coach plays his son), then that's the only way I see DS going down. If Santander also comes back, then both DS and Loperfido go down until September call ups as then Clement has no where to play against RHP as a starter, so he becomes a bench guy with France and Straw. Either way, yeah I hate the France pickup in so many ways. Seems like a move for the sake of saying "we added a RH bat", and might actually make the team worse. I guess we have to put our faith in Pope Popkins to fix another batter.

    I think this deal comes down to what you think about Rojas and his upside/potential. Roden and France are really irrelevant here (more so France). Roden is already 26 and both the underlying numbers and the eye test look terrible. At least Barger had a history of great exit velocities in the minors where you could dream on that and his bat speed. Roden is very ordinary and looked as such in his brief time here. If he's a high floor 2 WAR player, then I don't think that moves the needle for me. So it comes down to Rojas for Varland. The Jays have been pretty good with identifying which prospects to trade and which ones to keep over the years. I think the only misstep I can think of is Otto Lopez. Otherwise they've been pretty good there. We will see.

    I feel like Ty France is either going to be 2018 Steve Pearce or be awful and play a lot anyway because Schneider placates to vetrins. No in between.
  13. glory
    Rojas and Roden for Varland and France.
  14. glory
    Where's Ross?
  15. glory
    Bednar and Doval is a strong deadline for the Yanks.
  16. glory
    When Lukes' wife was giving birth earlier this season, Lukes was like "tell me how it went babe, I'll be in the outfield". He's now the lead off hitter. Ross doesn't play.
  17. glory
    I don't mind getting rid of Wagner. He's super ordinary, no pop and was taking 3B reps away from Barger. Not sure about the return, though. Anyone know about Valanzuela? The Jays do need catching depth regardless.
  18. glory
    AJ Preller treating every season like it could be his last one on earth has to be fun as a fan. I guess as long as he keeps replenishing the farm system.

    Correa back to the Astros. Wow.
  21. glory
    After the Bednar trade, I'm calling Cherington up immediately if I'm Ross. See what it takes to get Oneil Cruz or something.
  22. glory
    Ben Cherington was part of the Jays org from 2017-19. Now it's starting to make sense why the team sucked so bad at making trades during that time.
  23. glory
    Which difference making RP's are still out there? Jax and maybe Suarez if he's even available. Not sure who else.
  24. glory
    There goes Bednar.
  25. glory
    In a clip I saw online, Morosi said Alcantara and Suarez with a heavy Hispanic accent, but then said Cabrera in the whitest way possible. He confused himself.
