    To me this depends entirely on the cost. If the Marlins are holding out for a 2022 Sandy return, then it doesn't make sense, but if the Jays can get him at a more reasonable cost, then to me it's a no brainer. He's the SP to get. Not only is he controllable beyond 2025, but I think there's a strong chance he finishes the year strong. Stuff+ and Location+ are both good, and on the Jays he'd have elite defense behind him and probably the best defensive catching/framing tandem in the league. The alternatives are buying high on Ryan (if he's even available), Cabrera, Keller, etc, and giving up way more prospect capital. With the way the Jays have prioritized extra rest and low pitch counts for the geezers in the rotation this season, I think running a 6 man rotation is probably something they not only wouldn't mind doing but might be planning on as well. The last time they had a shot at the division at this point in the season was 2016, where they acquired a struggling Francisco Liriano and went with a 6 man rotation down the stretch.

    That Chad Green DFA notification is going to be incredible, but have to add a couple of leverage relievers first. Great win tonight.

    Not watching, is Hoffman warming up?

    I don’t even remember reading about the Jays signing Lauer, it felt insignificant at the time, but man what a signing it has turned into.

    That noise you hear is Chad Green’s music.

    Feels like if the Jays add a starter then they’ll go with a 6 man rotation.
  8. glory
    Only 70 pitches through 6 for Lauer. Nice work so far.

    Ernie! Just as I said, felt like one of those games where the Jays were going to hit a 3 run bomb.
  10. glory
    This feels like one of those “string together 4 hits to score 1 run” games we were seeing in April.

    Barger is 0-2 with his 2 outs being 110 and 106 mph. Bad luck.

    Kwan is like the dictionary definition of the type of player Atkins loves, so if it doesn't happen at the deadline, then I could see it happening at some point. Maybe the winter, or whenever the Guardians decide they want to go with a cheaper player.

    A split would be fine, but only way to win the season series tiebreaker is to win 3 of 4. Hopefully the Tigers recent struggles carry over for another weekend.

    Jays officially win the season series against the Yankees. Huge series win.
  15. glory
    The replay room preferring the Jays over the Yankees is crazy to me.

    Watching the game on Prime so getting the Yankees feed. Kay is going off on the Yankees defense.

    I get not wanting to get the go ahead run at the plate with Bassitt having gopher-itis tonight but setting up the double play and not facing right handed Barry Bonds seems like a much better scenario to me.

    Yeah I've been on the "get Sandy" bandwagon as well, he just fits perfectly with upside to match, but if the Marlins are holding out for a 2022 Sandy trade return, then it becomes less appealing. Curious to see what it would take to get him.

    Last time the Jays faced Fried (Canada Day), Barger was not in the starting lineup. I really don't think the Jays should be valuing Straw and Jimenez against LHP over Barger. but that seems to be where they are going. Hopefully he is in the lineup tonight. Of course Clement has a 53 wRC+ against RHP this season yet will challenge Cal Ripken's consecutive games played record at this rate, so splits only matter depending on the player in question, I guess.

    Yeah it was the worst contract in baseball as soon as they put pen to paper, and there's no way to "Devers" the contract later since he has a full NTC. He's going to be a team mascot putting up negative WAR's for the last 5-7 years of the deal as he chases 3000 hits, unfortunately. Rogers saw the last place finish in 2024 and did not see this 2025 season turning out the way it has (no one did), so they panicked. If the Jays win a ring over the life of Vlad's deal, and Vlad was a decent part of it, then we'll probably live with it. Let's hope.

    Pitching him in the first game back from the break with a 4-0 lead was unnecessary, yes. The other times were fine, but if Schneider thinks 4 runs requires his closer, then the Jays need at least 2-3 guys in the pen that he would be comfortable using in the 9th inning because that's not sustainable.
  23. glory
    Might need to overpay in a trade for a "closer" just so Hoffman doesn't have to pitch 4 times in 5 days as often as he does. I can't imagine that's good for any reliever, much less doing it 3-4 times in a season (and counting).

    Yeah I don’t see the Rangers selling given where they are in the standings. Obviously the Brewers aren’t selling either so Peralta is not an option (I didn’t think he ever was one but his name was thrown around). If the Jays do add a SP, then I think it will be someone closer in quality to what they already have. The clear upgrade may not be available.

    The Jays could win the East and still play in the WC round, so finishing better than the Astros and/or Tigers is going to be very important as well. Winning at least 1 of the next 2 against the Yanks and then taking 3/4 from the Tigers to win the season series against them as well would be nice (though asking a lot).
