  1. He should have been here in September instead of wasting at-bats on the likes of Stewart Berrora and Luis De Los Santos. Luis De Los Santos
  2. Myles Straw will be burried in the minors to save money.
  3. I don’t need to look for reasons to criticize them. They bring the criticism on themselves. It doesn’t take a smart person to know if you aren’t going to retain your stars you need to move them for assets. You can’t bury your franchise into the ground. You take a hit on the front end but you minimize the amount of time you suck. When you lose your best players for nothing. That’s when you become s*** and mediocre for 10+ years. That is the trajectory the team is currently on. Star players are pending free agency. Very weak farm system. Retain the stars or trade them for talented assets. It’s pretty simple.
  4. If the number was anywhere near what David Ortiz thinks it should be they certainly did. But once again if they weren't going to sign him to what he was asking for they should have moved him last year.
  5. We can only like this.
  6. Why in the actual fudge cakes would they be considering Giminez for the leadoff spot? He’s arguably the worst hitter on the team and posted .638 OPS and sub .300 OBP. He shouldn’t be hitting anywhere but 9th. Literally the worst leadoff option imaginable.
  7. Bo has a lot to prove this year. And realistically I don’t know what his demand on the free agent is because I doubt many teams are looking at him as SS, I don’t think it’s in the best interest of either side to extend now. At the high end he’s probably looking at something close to what Marcus Semien signed for. But he’s going to have to have a big year.
  8. Schwarber would be an excellent replacement for Vladdy and come at a fraction of the price. Jays should be all over that.
  9. Thought I was on Facebook for a second . Had to double check.
  10. Paying a 1B who should actually be a DH $450 million would have the potential to be franchise crippling. I doubt the Jays even entertained anything over $400. They were probably comfortable in the 300-325 range and pushed it to 350 to try to get it done. I think the contract if agreed to will look like 10-years 375 with deferred money. People thinking he will get 450-500 million are insane. Unless he starts playing 3B again and can legit stay there.
  11. The biggest difference between Vlad and Soto is body shape. The ability to actually play the OF even if he’s not that good at it. Soto’s skill set ages better. And by far the biggest factor. Soto has been way more consistent, Vlad has had 2 elite Seasons out of his 5. You could argue Soto has been elite since Day 1 outside of a minor blip with the Padres before turning elite again. And his blip was still a really good Baseball player.
  12. Once again if they didn’t want to pay Vladdy what he wants they should have traded him. I’m not mad at a lack of extension if they really felt he wasn’t worth “his number”. I’m mad that they are now likely going to lose him for nothing or a watered down return at the Deadline.
  13. Clock is about to strike midnight Cinderella.
  14. Kirk is very important to extend. But he will be more in the 12-15 M range. On a 3-4 year deal. He would have to put up a monster offensive Season to go as high as 20m which I still think would be excessive. He looks like he’s in better shape thus far. And he’s getting an early start to Spring. I remember him getting off to late starts to Spring in previous years. I could see him having his best offensive Season. He knows he’s very much the guy now.
  15. Dave Berg was easily my least favourite Blue Jay on those early 2000’s teams. He was so memorable for being so bad. Not a name I thought I would hear again lol.
  16. Nope he’s playing Second Base. Triston Casas is their First Baseman
  17. Kinda disappointed Alonso went back to the Mets with his tail between his legs after the way they treated hi m. Kind of makes him look like a massive pussy.
  18. Jack Flaherty finally a Tiger again. Will he bring Bregman with him that is the next question.
  19. Still a drop in the bucket for Rogers. Ed Rogers alone has a net worth of 11.5 billion.
  20. Rogers makes a metric f*** ton of money. I will give them credit for willing to spend a lot on the Blue Jays. Absolute horrendous company to deal with and they massively overcharge their customer base for what they offer. But so do most services in Canada. Statue talks are a bit premature they need to actually do something first. The Ted Rogers statue has always been very cringe.
  21. The Santander deal never made sense without other moves on the horizon. There was always going to be other moves. The needle never moved with Santander alone. With Max and Bregman or Alonso or both it does substantially. And the Jays could easily afford it. It’s whether or not it’s worth it to them.
  22. The solution seems to be the Jays signing both with a Vlad extension.
  23. Probably because his best position is Catcher and should absolutely be catching whenever possible. The point is he could play several different positions.
  24. Very exciting if healthy.
  25. I literally have not thought about Moreno being on the roster in 2 years. The only thing I said in this thread is he’s fat and Moreno is more versatile. Both true, So what’s the real problem? That bored eh?
