  1. Swing and Miss is King.
  2. Well I wanted Cease or Imai so I’m incredibly happy.
  3. Holy s***
  4. He said “I messaged your mom last night”. His mom died in 2017, The fan had no idea and was extremely apologetic but still got banned for life by both the White Sox and eventually MLB. Marte really pushed for it and wouldn’t respond to the fans apologies.
  5. Going to be honest I like him as a hitter but I don’t think he’s worth the acquiring cost which will be sky high. Would prefer if they just upgraded offensively through the free agent pool. He’s also not known as a great teammate hence why he’s being shopped to begin with he doesn’t vibe with the clubhouse which is a special thing in Toronto. There was also the incident where he cried for getting heckled by a fan. Wanted the fan banned for life and the fan had no idea his mom died 5+ years prior. Seems like a bit of a werido to me.
  6. They sent Boston $20 million.
  7. Clarke is a nice prospect. Probably their 4th or 5th ranked. Just got healthy again had big strikeout numbers in 14 starts.
  8. That’s a nice rotation piece from them. I hope they gave up a lot. Cardinals likely would be eating some money to increase the return.
  9. I will never apologize after having to watch Mitch White pitch, I don’t feel we won anything. My eyes still bleed.
  10. Kinda weird they claimed him if they didn’t plan to tender him a contract. Medicals must be bad.
  11. I don’t know if I am ready to accept Berrios is completely useless yet. Like not even good enough to be the 5th Starter.
  12. You know Atkins wakes up every morning and regrets giving him that contract. A bat first player with no real defensive profile outside of having a decent arm in RF. Who isn’t even actually a good hitter. He just had some big Homerun Seasons and the Jays needed Homeruns so here we are.
  13. If we could get unlinked that would be ideal.
  14. Makes sense to kick the tires but at that price point you pass. This organization aims higher.
  15. Be greatful the team you cheer for goes after all the top free agents.
  16. I can’t imagine many teams interested in giving him 5+ years. We have seen him fall off the map before.
  17. Jays had excellent pitching health this year for the most part. They knew about Max's thumb issue in Spring he tried to pitch through it before they ultimately had him get it right instead. Bowden Francis injury was confusing because he absolutely sucked and it was a blessing in disguise. But we all felt it was one of those phantom injury to get his head right and he ultimately missed the rest of the Season. Obviously in September Bassit went on the IL but apparently it was more related to a conversation he had with the team about trying to get his back healthy for the playoffs because they had a huge division lead at the time and could have pitched through it. Berrios was removed from the rotation and promptly got shelled in a relief outing before they shut him down. Whether he got injured in the outing or he was already pitching hurt is a mystery.
  18. Don't really understand the trade from either perspective... the Orioles unless they really think Grayson isn't healthy need to be adding pitching not subtracting from it. It was pretty obvious that the Angels were going to trade Ward or Adell. But I think if you make this trade you want more of a sure thing in 2026. It could ultimately be the best talent they could have added for Ward but is he healthy enough to give them the Starter they need right now. The Orioles must feel pretty confident they can add pitching via Free Agency but everyone has been waiting for them to do it for seemingly years at this point and it hasn't happened.
  19. I hate this negative mentality. Do know certain teams don't even get a seat at that table and wish they did? The fact that the Jays are in these conversations and maybe just missing out isn't a bad thing. Someone is always going to finish second. When your competing with the Dodgers for Free Agents its a difficult challenge. They have massive pedigree of success. They don't play in a good division like the Blue Jays do and obviously LA has a certain allure to it. It's not just money that keeps the Jays in these conversations. They are impressed by the organization from a presentation perspective, facilities, how they treat families. All these things come into play.
  20. We’re working through some technical difficulties. Everything about his name wants me to type A.
  21. Classic diversion tactic. Drive up this market and scoop in get who you really which is Imai.
  22. Grisham accepting the QO effectively eliminates the Yankees from the off-season. Unless they plan to be a tax team this Season or can find a sucker to take on money.
  23. I wish that dude is getting the king treatment right now.
  24. f*** no to Igleasis. I would rather keep Hoffman the closer and do a couple good Bullpen additions to the price he would cost who I don't think moves the needle at all. I also hate his stupid tattoos. If you want to add a closer this off-season. You're looking into those elite swing and miss and strikeout types. Edwin Diaz or Devin Williams.
