Grass please

That Grilli option is a no brainer. Even though he had a bad September he bounced back pretty well. And would expect him to produce value at that contract value. Love the guy he will be back.

Put the banner up but don't make a fuss about it. Raptors put up a banner this year and did it quietly I would prefer that.

todd has spoken. Alford is a non prospect. It's time to move on. Maybe he has a future in the CFL.

We got todd for this now.

That would be nice. Organization seems to love him for some reason. I miss Butterfield.

No his main issue is not making contact.

He will will be in the 19-22M range for 4-5 years

But they have been successful in spite of him. Imagine a manager with this talent actually making good decisions. That would be awesome man.

I didn't expect him to get fired but would have been nice. Probably his last year though barring a dream season.

I hope he's back. Has went out of his way to say he wants to come back on many occasions. People forget hes been on waivers, hes been outrighted. He was temporarily in Oakland's system at one point I believe. He had the option of going anywhere he wanted and decided to resign with us because he wanted it to work here. I love the guy and always will but if someone wants to pay him out the ass for a 5 year contract you let him walk. But just because Ortiz said Boston should sign him doesn't mean it will happen. I think Boston will be looking at Trumbo and Napoli for the 1st Base/DH spot.

He should probably given the chance if he wants it. Hard to ignore a 21 year old with an arm like that with 3 plus pitches who was actually working on a 4th and different wrinkles and variations throughout the season. He's a special talent he just can't be ran into the ground by your manager. Gibbons could have done a much better job of managing his workload especially in back to back scenarios. At times he would get a week to 8 days off. Than pitch 5 of the next 6 nights coming in games we have had more than a 3-run lead.

If the return is nice you consider trading either I agree. Estrada is a free agent next year so maybe you want to hold on him and collect a first. Happ signed through age 36 season you don't have that guaranteed. Plus I think this season was simply a dream season for him. I just don't see anyway he can put up this kind of season again. I expect regression and like taking advantage of overachievers on the trade market. You can consider streching out both Biagini and Osuna. Sign a veteran innings eating. Have a battle for a 5th starter spot. Once again depends on the return. They are both on such manageable contracts. Definitely don't want to see Osuna traded. I don't know why that was suggested. His injury situation got blown up and came back and had a great playoffs. The gutsy effort against Texas. Pitching 4 of the 5 games against Cleveland including 3 in a row. I don't know how you can be concerned with his arm. Gibbons just can't overuse him in 17. This once hes hot ******** hes gotta come in regardless of score needs to stop. He came in way to many times this year where it was simply overkill. We have a nice bullpen makeup. Perhaps some depth and another high leverage reliever will allow Gibbons to chill the f*** out.

Give Aroldis Chapman whatever he wants. Unleash him on world. Expect good things.

I don't appreciate him at all.

It goes without saying but Jose Bautista had a phenomenal Blue Jays career and run from 2010-16. He was incredibly fun to watch and his story was amazing. I loved his attitude and everything he stood for. I often disagreed with what he said but he is a passionate guy and you have to take the good with the bad. He will be qualified and if accepts I would be happy to have him transition to 1B or possibly be the everyday DH. But he's not a major league Outfielder. His biggest weapon his arm is gone. I think he would make a very good transition to 1B but I don't know if he's open to it. Will see what happens but I loved the guy. He is one of the best players to put on the uniform.

Tough way to end things. I felt we were setup well too push this series further. I'm confident in our management to produce a roster good enough to compete again. As always it's nice to banter back and forth with you guys. The good and the bad. Hopefully its an enjoyable off-season.

f*** Donaldson had 3 pitches to hit

f*** it would come down to Game Over Allen. I knew that comment would haunt me.

Ernie Johnson so mad right now.

Without question lol. Certainly better than Joey Rickard but don't tell Orioles fans that. Hes a stud and a steal.

That was actually a good play to get to that ball. But it was annoying Navarro was running to begin with.

Such stupid use of Osuna. Biagini could have went 2.

Why bring in Osuna for 3 straight games if you don't need to?
