  1. Made with the free Twitter (X) AI function (Grok)
  2. 51 days until Spring Training! #51 has been worn by eighteen Blue Jays in franchise history, the most tenured being former Rays batboy and Jays starter.....Jesse Litsch!
  3. This isn't where I parked my car

  4. 52 days until Spring Training! #52 has been worn by fourteen Blue Jays over the years, including closer BJ Ryan
  5. 53 days until Spring Training! #53 has been worn by eleven different Blue Jays, the first being righty Dennis Lamp, who went 11-0 for the Jays back in 1985.
  6. It's nothing to do with nostalgia, don't be such a dumbass casual. As already stated, Grichuk happens to be one of the better hitters in baseball against left handed pitching for consecutive seasons, and the Jays have struggled badly against lefties. Therefore should be a fairly cheap way to improve the team's depth, common sense. I guess there's two different mindsets after missing out on the top free agents. Some want to have a realistic discussion about what's still out there and could be a fit, others just want to be irrationally angry.
  7. Flaherty having resurrected his value after a one year deal last off season, is probably the last type of guy who should be leaving money on the table. Meaning our approach of offering the biggest bag could perhaps finally work out. I wanted to sign him last off season and I still think it would be a decent gamble this year based on how the market has played out. He'll go for roughly mid rotation type money by today's standards, but can continue pitching like a frontline guy
  8. Grichuk is another FA who fits the profile, one of the top lefty mashers in baseball last year
  9. "One of the best players who was non-tendered this offseason, Austin Hays struggled after going from the Orioles to the Phillies at the trade deadline, but he has a solid track record of production. He posted a 109 OPS+ and averaged 32 doubles, 18 home runs, 66 RBI and 2.7 WAR in the three years leading up to the 2024 campaign, and he was an All-Star in 2023. He hit .354/.405/.537 in 90 plate appearances against left-handed pitching in 2024, and he has a .800 OPS for his career against southpaws, so if nothing else, he holds significant platoon appeal." There's so few bats left on the market who have that kind of upside. He's still fairly young, his 2024 was explainable by serious illness and he fields a position (LF) we have open. It seems like a no brainer at this point, likely one of the cheapest potential sources of above average offense.
  10. Gotta be Jack now
  11. 54 days until Spring Training! #54 has been a popular number in Toronto, worn by eighteen different players including some notable names. The most tenured by far was righty Jason Frasor
  12. 2023 All star Austin Hays please
  13. I think that's the exact same deal they signed Flaherty for last off season. Why are these guys falling in the Tigers lap?
  14. 55 days until Spring Training! #55 has been worn by ten Blue Jays over the years, the most prominent being Russell Martin
  15. Seems like this thread should be moved over to the minor league section. Anyway, mlb.com posted an article titled "Each team's prospect whose stock improved most in '24" and ours was Jake Bloss. Ranked No. 11 in the Astros system to begin 2024, the 2023 third-rounder out of Georgetown climbed from High-A Asheville all the way to the Majors in his first full season by showcasing three above-average pitches out of the gate. Sure, his breakout came in the Houston organization, but the Blue Jays will get to reap the rewards after acquiring Bloss in a Deadline move for rental arm Yusei Kikuchi. The right-hander made eight starts for Triple-A Buffalo after the trade and will try to work his way into the Toronto rotation next spring. https://www.mlb.com/news/each-team-s-prospect-whose-stock-improved-most-2024
  16. 56 days until Spring Training! #56 has been worn by thirteen Blue Jays over the years, the most tenured being Brian Tallet.
