Depending what you think "better" means, the 2023 roster will be tougher to pitch to on balance alone.
2023 LH bats
Belt
Biggo
Keirmaier
Varsho
Barger (potential)
2022 LH Bats
Zimmer
Bradley Jr.
Tapia
Biggio
Well I hope we can keep Vladdy off his feet for 40 to 60 games this season with Belt at 1B with Vlad as dh. Rest might do wonders for Vladdy's bounce back season.
This team will definitely have a different "character" this season.
Hopefully Biggio sticks around somehow. He's probably the most likeable player on the team.
Can't wait for spring training.
Let's go Brandon:p
Have to bear in mind that insurance claims for players are filed after the contract is over. Whatever dollars the Jays recoup from the Ryu contract it will be after the 2023 season.
I agree with the sentiment here. Some media types think they should have a job guaranteed for life. If you’ve had a run exceeding 20 years there shouldn’t be a lot to bitch about. Take note, Lisa Laflamme, Rod Black, Bob Mccown, Leo Rautins….
Sometimes introverts are percieved as being aloof. Easy mistake to make with Bo as well. I think the guy is a pretty solid teammate who is a hard worker. We could use more like him.
