    Sure but by all accounts Judge turned down a more lucrative offer from the Padres to resign with NYY. I see Vladdy as only interested in n one thing, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. "We all know where rainbow goes, we are told it's a pit of gold". Screw Pepperidge Farms.

    After 2023 the majority on this board wanted Vladdy shuffled out of here. Now like the fat girl in school who has a pretty face and returns after summer vacation 25 pounds lighter we're lining up to resign him. That is what Vladdy's 2024 season equates to. 😜 Will the real Vladdy please stand up?

    Well the true deadline isn't until his contract expires and before he signs elsewhere. Nothing wrong with him trying to get all he can and perhaps all this talk about wanting to stay a Blue Jay for life is just posturing. If his asking price is a contract that begins with the number 5 (and I suspect it does) then we all know what the prudent course of action should be: Trade him while you can. Yeah, the usual suspects will blame this on Jays management not being able to close a deal with their franchise player but at some point common sense has to prevail, right? I've always been in the sign Vladdy camp but looking at the situation from a purely analytical perspective, in a few short years he will be on the wrong side of 30, do you really want to empty your pocket book for what could be Prince Fielder 2.0 at that point?

    RIP Damo.

    I think Bo gets moved this season. The only thing to prevent that would be this team exceeding expectations which would mean hanging on to him for the playoff stretch. Either way the next seven months are the last we will see if him in a BJ uniform. Too bad really, we expected so much.

    We got Mad Max!

    Atkins was selling snake oil. I love it.

    For a guy who is a regular on these boards you're not aware of your the "playoffs will be easy to make" mantra?

    Vladdy repeating 2024 + Bichette bounce back + Two or more players exceeding eapectations ( looking at you Varsho, Gimenez, Clement, Wagner, Kirk) + Healthy pitching staff + At least one team in the Al East s***ing the bed _________________________ = Playoffs will be easy to make.

    As long as you don't institute some new tariff system we should be okay...... probably.

    Gotta admit a potential Verlander vs Scherzer matchup this July in Toronto would be great.
  13. Omar
    Yeah we might have dodged a bullet here. I wasn't as bullish on the polar bear as some on here. Let's see if Atkins can go to plan c.

    In the past we would just do them by whoever started the gdt. Nothing scheduled. If the person starting threads was on a win streak the unwritten rule was that they had precedence on starting that days gdt. Again completely informal. Sometimes a thread would not be posted until minutes before game time. Brock, if you require it to be posted by 11am then perhaps you should start the thread. Some posters participate exclusively in gdt's and vice versa. I'm good with whatever consensus you arrive at. Hopefully I will be able to post the JaysDance.gif at least 87 times this upcoming season. 😉

    Bassett should just keep his mouth shut and pitch. Everytime the guy opens his mouth people act like he's Yoda talking. He's a mediocre journeyman pitcher who doesn't have a single great pitch so he relies on six different ones. He is lucky to be employed in the majors.

    If something falls apart it won't be on Shapiro and Atkins at this point. It is all on the coaching staff and players to execute. The 74 win season may have come with a huge silver lining. In my mind I think ownership asked the question something along the lines of "What is it going to take to field a competitive/compelling team?". Since Shapiro is on his last year I suspect he gave it to them unfiltered and unabashed: IF YOU WANT TO WIN AND COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS, THEN UNTIE OUR HANDS. Now the above is conjecture but I suspect it is closer to the truth than the other way around. At this point you have to tip your hat to Jays management for perhaps the best off season of any team in MLB. Which franchise moved the needle more since October? Granted the Jays had a lot of room to improve but you can't deny the outcome. Either way, something to look forward to. Personally I can't wait for pitchers and catchers to report for spring training.

    If I'm Bowden Francis, I would be pretty pumped knowing I could spend a season picking this guys brain for all things pitching related. Heterochromia for the win!
  18. Omar
    All those pundits trying to predict how much the Jays had allocated to spend this off season were out to lunch.

    His pick off move when throwing with a runner on 1B was a thing of beauty.

    From one of my favorite movies...

    I'm kind of surprised that there isn't more push back on signing Alonso on this board. Especially if it ends up being three plus years. I mean one dimensional player, will be on the wrong side of 30, slash line decline over the last three years and will probably strike out 160 times next season, a slug on the base paths, etc. Don't get me wrong, we need the HR's but...
  22. Omar
    Most other teams aren't in on as many guys as the Jays. I guess we should be grateful that the CBT threshold actually means something to this team. For many other franchises it is just a number that will never have meaning.
  23. Omar
    I keep hearing media talk about Sal Perez being automatic for HOF then why shouldn't Martin have a shot?
  24. Omar
    Some of the regulars, myself included, always used them.

    On the old board we were able to add signatures to our posts. Does such a function exist on this new board?
