I missed it. f*** -
Can you imagine him accepting being in the bubble in Toronto lol. It would be 6 days before someone caught him in a hot tub with a bunch of models in Downtown Toronto.
-
I’m disappointed because I wanted it to work but this seemed inevitable. Just very surprised they did it now. All that tells me is that they had no confidence even in a short season him playing the position everyday. I don’t expect this team to be very competitive with the schedule but anything can happen. Insane things happen in small sample sizes.

I still to this day don’t understand why they paid Randal Grichuk to the same thing Teoscar Hernandez could do for the league minimum. In terms of a pure talent I would rather have Stroman. Stroman is so insufferable and everything he says makes you want to punch him. But Grichuk seems to be the type to get his nose and everything. Huff is just a clown. I don’t know if he’s racist but I know hes dumb.

I’m going to assume Travis Shaw won’t be a Blue Jay for much longer. He also keeps deleting his tweets lol. I don’t know if he did it because the team told him to or he didn’t like getting s*** on in the comments section. -
On the bright side were getting another high pick in next years draft in a basically lost season.
-
I always enjoy when things don’t go the Orioles way. Never gets old. But great draft was nice to actually feel something Baseball again. Now lets get a deal done so we can have real Baseball again. And as many f***ing games as possible please.
-
Since when do Blue Jays fans have the same low confidence as Raptors fans. You guys are giving yourself anxiety for no reason. They are signing Martin. You don’t let that caliber of prospect fall into your lap only to let him go. Boras might drag it out because hes a prick but its getting done. Blue Jays will do what it takes to secure that talent. Not a single doubt in my mind.
-
I see autocorrect f***ed me over. Hate to see it.
-
I love athletic pitchers. Plenty of room for that body fo fill out as well. It sucks this draft is only 5 rounds but the haul we got makes me excited all things considered.
-
Yea hes a draft eligible sophomore so he will go back for his Junior season and no harm done for him. Assuming we survive 2020.
-
Did you just judge what kind of pitcher he is on his appearance lol. He throws 4-5 MPH harder than all those guys.
-
Maybe not a college senior but they will have to save some money. I wouldn’t expect any high school players taken. Also sucks for the dudes that went back for a senior season that never happened lol.
-
To be fair they have to say this. They can’t just say we punted the pick and have no intention of signing him lol.
-
That could definitely be the case. I guess will find out. I was wondering if teams would try this though.
-
I don’t know man you would have to ask them that. They talked about it a bit on the draft show. Red Sox front office is a bit in shambles. They faced punishment this year for the scandal went on which includes loss of their second round pick this year. Perhaps they just want to get things organized and regroup for next year. With virtually no high school season and most college seasons being so short not a ton of information out there. Perhaps with all things considered they didn’t feel comfortable making the pick. Deep draft or not they still have the #18 next year if they don’t sign him. And will have a larger bonus pool as a result. I am sure they aren’t the only team that has considered this as well. But as you said this is a really strong and deep draft so teams are taking their picks and feeling good about them despite the lack of information.
-
No quarantine going on where this kid is from lol.
-
Speculation is they took him to punt the pick so they would get the first round pick back next. Hes not an underslot sign because his commitment to college was strong. Plus the Red Sox don’t have a second round pick. Honestly not a bad strategy.
-
Is the taxi squad idea still floating out there? No minor league season but I think if you put together top prospects team together to play against each other ahead of the big league teams would be pretty cool.
-
Relax dude Jesus lol.. act like you have seen a female before yikes.
-
i didn’t think we would get in position to draft both Veen and Martin. Especially Martin wow. Everyone has to be f***ing pumped right now. Loving his potential position versatility as well.
-
One of the things brought up in the NBA and NHL discussions is how they want to get the playoffs in before early Fall at the latest. There is a significant chance we get a big second wave of the Virus that could cause things to shutdown. Considering a lot of buisnesses are preparing for that reality we might not have to full on shut down again. Right now is the window to get things done. Nobody should expect the NBA and NHL to start up again in December on schedule. NBA has discussed a Christmas day start time. Its likely the start of their next season gets delayed as well. I don’t think will see Baseball played in the Winter. You have to eventually get things back to normal and that would be almost impossible in that scenario. The risks of injuries alone makes it unlikely.
-
Double headers multiple times a week I suppose. I don’t know how they could possibly balance that while keeping the players seemingly in a bubble. Obviously they would realign divisions by spring training location but its not like those teams can just play each other constantly. That wouldn’t hold any integrity in terms of competition. And its not like they can just host all teams at a couple different complexes. Just to many games and teams need to play. We haven’t even heard a realistic concrete plan yet. Right now the 2 sides can’t even agree on money lol. Which isn’t an issue in the NBA or NHL because they already got paid. The only way a season happens is if the Owners give into the players. That seems hopeless.
-
I just don’t know how these 2 sides can bridge the gap at this point. Especially with the players already pissed off. The owners would have to give in to the players and that looks super unlikely. Time to cut their losses and come back next year as much as that sucks. I just don’t see how they can do any kind of meaningful season between July-September. Playing into October would be a risk because you’re entering flu season and most likely a second wave of Corona Virus. Even if they agreed to something this weekend. They would still have to get everyone to location. Quarantine. Do a spring training. And we are looking at what mid July start with that timeline? And this doesn’t even look close. I assume they would be aiming for a July 4th start to bring back Baseball on a holiday that’s meaningful for Baseball. But man I’m not holding my breath. Yikes.

I can’t believe they are still trying these stupid gimmicky ideas. Most of things are stupid and far fetched. Atleast the NBA plans sound realistic. I just don’t understand how this even takes off. Not a chance if a prospect plays in MLB Game that the clock doesn’t start. The agents will fight that to the end.
