  1. That's what I was going to say. Sr dipped his d*ck in anything that moved and hated condoms.
  2. It was interesting to see old school counting stats (HRs, RBIs) win in the NL, while analytic based results won in the AL. Like make up your f*cking mind voters...
  3. Who's monitoring the flight-tracking services?
  4. Bannon is huffing glue again I see.
  5. Astros are brining on Brad Ausmus to be their next Manager.
  6. The contract terms matter so much when evaluating these guys. If Lowe requires a 5 year commitment, then we should run the other way. He reminds me a lot of Tony Taters - minus the racism. Power bat, but only a 115-125 wRC+, who's likely to be a 2.5 WAR player for the next few years before falling off.
  7. https://www.mlb.com/news/where-every-mlb-team-starts-2026-2027-offseason This ranks us tied for 8th heading into the offseason.
  8. 100% Reminds me a bit of Brandon Morrow. Just electric and fun to watch when healthy and on their game.
  9. Those are wild stats. I stubbled across his name and numbers at some point as well - I can fall down a rabbit hole on fangraphs with the best of them. I also remember when Bob Welch was the best pitcher in baseball because he was 27-6. I was 9. A 27 win season produced 1.8 WAR, LOL. I think I would have guessed Dave Stewart, simply because I assume he threw like 275+ innings a few years.
  10. This is closer to the type of deal it would need to be than the other 4 you listed.
  11. Not until he proves he's healthy, unless you're taking back another disastrous contract.
  12. Islamophobia is widely considered by international bodies and human rights organizations to be a specific form of racism or cultural racism. If players preferred to play with players who stand up to religions that oppress the lgbtq+ community, there'd be no MLB.
  13. OK. I do suspect there's some truth to that, no matter how sad it truly is...
  14. Are you suggesting a lot of Blue Jay players are OK with it because they too hate Muslims? Or because they are also racist? Did you watch the video he posted? I think a public apology is likely enough accountability. But like Bass, Santander's play can also be a large factor cutting ties with him. He isn't good enough to bother with this moronic behavior. I don't think it's going to deter players from wanting to come to Toronto. The Bass incident was in 2023. I think it's perfectly reasonable to think players would prefer not to play with racists.
  15. I suspect this is the case - all of it. I guess there's a chance that his shoulder never heels and he is forced to retire. I wonder if this social media BS opens the door for the Jays doctors to conclude his shoulder is f*cked and he can't play. If that were to happen, they may be able to buy him out and then claim some of it through insurance? They'd have insurance on a $92.5M deal I'd assume? Doctors shouldn't be unethical of course, but you never know :)
  16. Everyone got to see Upton's tiddies. Who's going to complain and make a stink about that? LOL
  17. Oh I love a lot of that sliderguy. Fantastic insight. Love the Puk idea and I like the trade targets. Can I take this + one relatively large signing? Like give me Bauers to DH on a 3 year $55M as the cherry on top? Or maybe a Sato. That would be fun.
  18. In the least surprising news of the week (including the US election results)...
  19. I think just as many players, if not more, would be concerned with an organization who doesn't hold player accountable for their actions. I googled it and the Red Sox released Brett Netzer, a minor leaguer in 2022 for a barrage of homophobic and racists tweets. Steve Clevenger's career ended in 2016 for racists social media posts. That's really all I found. Not many examples come up of players who posted offensive and/or racist social media posts and weren't punished either. The only names that come up is Anthony Bass and then guys like Trea Turner, Sean Newcomb and Josh Hader and those last 3 all just apologized for "old" posts from their high school days. I think that just goes to show you how stupid Santander is.
  20. Good call - I've seen is name floated out there and connected to the Jays a few times now. He's a solid target IMO. I'm not sure what he'd cost. It's kinda gross to think we'd have to give up a real assets for a 5th OFer on the short side of a platoon - but OF defense is being prioritized more and more by teams these days. If they ever proceed with the rule change where OFers have to start in a certain area pre-pitch, then OF defense is going to skyrocket in value. I suspect that's 3-4 years away though, if it ever gains traction. Nats probably should give Crews a run in CF. Do they want a couple of our AAAA corner guys like Pinango? It might cost us Keys...
  21. Not sure I saw this, but a few days ago, Heston Kjerstad cleared waivers and was outrighted. He's now a FA.
