    Yeah Yariel is sunk cost and nothing more. If he's DFA'd and he goes elsewhere, or he's DFA'd and he's on the AAA team for the rest of his contract, neither scenario helps the Jays because he's such a fungible talent that hoping he "figures something out" is pointless. The roster spot he occupies means more than whatever he has left on his contract.

    The sad thing is, the Jays are waiting on Barger to come back, but he'd just replace Pinango on the roster, who has hit tremendously well for a rookie depth player, and it would also mean benching one of Lukes (who to my surprise has been great post vertigo) and Sanchez (130 wRC+ against RHP). I'm not sure a savior is coming. Kirk instead of Heineman (assuming that's the direction they go rather than demoting BV) would be the clear upgrade.

    I’m still pissed at the Orioles for not signing Hoffman last year when they had an agreement with him. Now their fans are injuring Jays players on the field.
  4. glory
    Yeah it would have to be a team in contention that has a “bad contract” that fits the Jays needs a bit better. A bad team has no reason to do a bad contract swap unless incentivized in some way (or they’d just have to like Hoffman more than the guy they are giving up). Not likely. Sucks because Hoffman’s underlying numbers look good but JS doesn’t know how to use him, and I think the 9th inning yips are at least partially real. No chance I’d want Hoff anywhere near the 9th inning if it was a playoff situation.

    Is there a RH platoon bat that kills LHP and makes $11M a year? Seems like the ideal trade for Hoffman. I don’t even think Hoffman is bad, but I think he needs a change of scenery, especially as long as JS is the manager.
  6. glory
    I think Hoffman robbed me of my love for baseball in the 9th inning of Game 7 last year but he wants to keep the trauma in tact apparently.

    Jeff Hoffman is still a terrorist. John Schneider doesn’t seem to care.

    If the owners are all in for a cap, then yeah, the 2027 season is in jeopardy and it will just be waiting around until the players finally cave (and they will the longer it lasts). Hopefully it doesn't go that far. MLB hasn't had this level of national momentum for like 2 decades. Just 5 years ago ESPN was ashamed to even talk about baseball on their programming. Completely different now after the pitch clock and rise of Ohtani and Judge. It would destroy all that momentum just to increase franchise values, which would probably increase anyway after the next media rights deal. This will end one of two ways: similar to 2021-22 where they agreed to something in the beginning of March and just condensed spring training to get in all 162, or it will wipe out most or all of 2027. Just a matter of how deep the owners are with wanting a cap. If they are where the NHL owners were all those years back, then we need to enjoy 2026.

    Feels like a turning point type of win. Keep the momentum going.

    The owners seem united. First time they’ve formally proposed a salary cap system since 1994 apparently, and looks like their proposal involves centralized local revenue, which is huge because that’s where much of the revenue disparity exists among teams. A year ago I thought losing games in 2027 was unlikely. Now I feel like it’s inevitable. How many games they are willing to lose is the question. If owners have agreed to consolidate local revenue then they are clearly all in. The strange thing is the owners proposal is more in line with what most baseball fans want from the looks of it. The MLBPA will be the heels this time around, especially if they miss a bunch of games.

    This team resembles the 2023 team way too much for my liking (not as good defensively) but just keep stacking wins and then add reinforcements at the deadline.

    The Jays having a longer rope for 2025 holdovers would at least make sense to me, but why they are so enamored with Sosa is mind boggling.

    Sportsnet cameraman wanted to troll Jays fans there.

    Heineman is 34, a career journeyman, and has been awful this season. He's not someone another team is going to value enough to give up anything for him.
  18. glory
    Sosa is starting, so the Jays definitely going to explode offensively today.
  19. glory
    Grichuk and the FO must have had a falling out or something. He's made sense as a pickup for a while and the Jays have the financial muscle to spend. Trading someone to the Rockies might be unforgivable though, so not sure I blame Grichuk.
  20. glory
    Even numbered year Davis Schneider sucks. Put him in AAA and call him up in 2027.
  21. glory
    With Shapiro and Atkins both getting big fat contracts this past winter, I wonder what plan they decide to go with at the deadline if they are still looking like a middling team. I don't see the Jays overtaking the Yankees or Rays, so they'd basically be playing for one of the last 2 wild card spots in a season where 82 wins might get them there. Does it really make sense to be big time buyers in that scenario? Rogers wants stadiums filled in the summer so that probably answers that question but either way if the Jays are buyers then I hope they are more conservative buyers unless the division and/or WC1 looks realistic.
  22. glory
    Yeah it's the years that are bad, not the money. At this point it is what it is.
  23. glory
    He will get to 3000 hits at some point if he stays healthy, so I guess Rogers (or whoever owns the team in 2050 or whenever his contract ends) will get some money off that, but there's going to be a lot of negative WAR years. Just a matter of how many.
  24. glory
    Yeah I don't see a 2025 style run this summer (unless Springer suddenly becomes a 6 WAR player again, among other positives), so the division is probably a pipe dream. I'd be shocked, and honestly ashamed if the Jays can't get the 3rd WC though. The AL is awful. Like legitimately awful. A .500 record might get in. Just sneak in.
  25. glory
    Valenzuela essentially putting himself in a 2 strike count to bunt the tying run to 3rd with 0 out when he's been one of the few hitters with pop in this lineup so far (not his fault), and then Springer up 3-0 in the count and proceeds to swing through 3 straight balls. Infuriating to watch.
