General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2025)
Omar replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The Jays can't afford to let Tucker sign elsewhere, least of all to the dreaded Dodgers. That means the Jays may have to extend the term. Might have to go seven years. Perhaps the better option is to get Belli for his versatility? Bo is off my radar. Sorry but it is better to take a pass on him. Let him go to Boston and age ungracefully. -
I don't know. I listened to the presser and he said it kind of matter of fact not really trying to pump the Jays tires.

This is all on Berrios. He strikes me as the type of guy who tries to fix himself. The Jays have had the Rapsodo technology for the last seven years and yet he doesn't avail himself of it to improve. Getting tired of his "I'm taking my ball home and leaving attitude". Dump him Ross!
-
Wearing the batting helmet while playing first base did him in unfortunately. Can't put a guy like that in Cooperstown.
-
I think if Bo is smart he lets Tucker sign first so he sets the bar for dollars. Thereafter he can sign to whatever degree below what Tucker gets. It's just business.

Hello, LA Angels, I have a deal for you!

Sometimes miracles do happen and you can end up moving the immovable....

Don't worry JIm, it's highly unlikely.

Fan base: Ross we need a lefty starter. Atkins:

Put him in the bullpen?

Well kudos to Ponce for reinventing himself in the KBO and getting back in mlb. The contract of 3/30m is lifechanging. The Jays are definitely building up starting pitching depth in what they will likely transfer to a lighter workload across the season for all the starters so they enter the postseason completely fresh. Very strategic. This also tells me that Atkins has an exit plan for Berrios already. Got to be right?

"They can simply reallocate what they don't spend elsewhere." Is this guy getting paid by the word?
-
No Red Sox or Orioles action which I like. Imai to the Yankees not so much.
-
It is quite likely. The Jays are trying to win a World Series title Jim. Didn't you get the memo?
-
One lesson to be learned with the Cease signing is that when they say, Where there's smoke, there is fire isn't true. Sometimes smoke is just smoke. Atkins and co keep their cards pretty close. The tweets about who they met with and talked to don't mean a hill of beans. No one had reports of them talking to Cease but here we are.
-
I think this is generally correct. Their EBITDA number is something like $24 million. So yeah, a spike in payroll could easily put them in a loss position.

Baseball armageddon is bound to happen one day. Need a floor and a cap or else 25 teams play for nothing.

How dare he?!?

The Jays (Pete Walker) have to get Cease to attack the zone. On first pitch strikes he below league average. For a guy with his velo/stuff this is unacceptable. Im pretty sure the Jays will have him get aggressive early in the count. This is what I found online: Cease. MLB avg. Spin %. 52.6% 31% 1st pitch strikes 60%. 61.8% In Zone 46.5%. 48.9% Edge. 42.2%. 42.7% If he throws first pitch strikes next season = Cy Young
-
Berrios is here. He's not leaving. He's going to give up 28 bombs in 2026. And you're all going to watch and enjoy it.

Could this also be a case that it just isn't their philosophy as an org with respect to pitcher development? Perhaps they think the it is best to work on and develop the existing raw material talent of a pitcher instead of new pitch development? Or is it just a matter of they aren't good at it as you stated? How do you rate the Pirates in such a case? I had heard that the Pirates are big believers in the race to two. Ie. Get two strikes before two balls in the count. Which it seems the Jays embraced and now spreading like wildfire but that it originated out of the Pirates org first. In short the Pitching to Win philosophy; weird that it comes from the Pirates.
