Pleased for DeRozan, that was sweet revenge for him. He’s also having arguably the best year of his career. The Spurs are defying logic by still being a playoff team in the West. Pop is the greatest coach ever.

Superman Pillar is easily the fans’ favourite player. TBF he doesn’t have much competition (until Vlad arrives).

It'd be worth trading Pillar for a nothing prospect just to see first the fanbase melt down, then the reaction here to that reaction, haha.

No I’m English but my mother has relatives who live in Hamilton after her uncle emigrated in the 50’s. Yeah I’ve been to lots of Leeds games, quite a few of my mates support them.

This year I want to see more of this: and this:

It's going to be a long year......

You currently have 41 Twitter followers. A quick search shows a few other random Jays blogs with around 1,000 followers - likely because they’ve been around much longer. If you’re serious about making a go of it you need to massively increase your presence. Post on the Jays subreddit, as much as we make fun of them they have a big community - 40,000 subscribers plus the millions of general Reddit users who might pop in every now and then. Follow anyone and everyone on Twitter that’s linked to the Jays including all the players, prospects, and journalists and include them on tweets when you think it’s relevant. They probably won’t even see it but people searching for those accounts will. This board isn’t popular enough to drive many subscribers on its own. You need to have people who aren’t part of this board getting interesting in the thoughts and reflections of a bunch of anonymous guys who aren’t former players or professional journalists. So unless you pay money for marketing the only way you’re going to get more popular is by virtual word of mouth and name recognition.

Off the back of 2 losing seasons I don’t think there would be a significant difference for this year. We’ve already had a big drop in attendance. Especially when between 60 and 81 wins is likely only the difference between 4th and 3rd in the AL East.

Lol at “fantastic”

IMO that is extremely unlikely.

The Angels is my guess.

Drake going for the DFA record

Well the alternative would be any of the remaining free agent starting pitchers who aren't expected to have many offers (and so are unlikely to turn down an opportunity to be in a MLB rotation) - including most who IMO are on paper better than a 35 year old who has virtually zero potential trade value. I'm not complaining that he isn't cheap (the cost is negligible), I'm complaining that he's absolute wank.

Was this really the best we could do for a dirt cheap innings eater? Would prefer a bounceback candidate who has a chance to be traded for something, rather than a DFA in waiting. Following a rebuilding team sucks!

Merryweather will also be thrown into the mix when he returns from TJ, though by then one or two starters may have been traded.

TBF even if SRF doesn't start in the rotation he'll be one of the first to be called up when one of Stroman / Sanchez / Shoemaker inevitably gets injured.

This board is full of very stable geniuses.

Yeah until we start winning again low key moves like this will always be criticised by most fans as not doing enough to help win games. We should be signing Keuchel, Machado and Harper! /s

Haha, yeah let's hope it works out better than the Garcia signing!

We'll be lucky to get >100 innings from him but even if we don't, can't complain at that price.

The Twins’ moves so far have been craftily good. Short term and low risk additions.

Considering that Stroman’s value seems to be so low, and he’s only 27, I’d like to see us try to sign him to an extension. He also doesn’t like going through arbitration so he might consider it worthwhile buying out 2 years plus the longer term security.
