Just say, “ear muffs” and we will be good.
-
There is a difference between a rebuild and a retool. Pat Gillick traded two of the top and most popular Jays at the time for Alomar and Carter. Point being, we can move Bo, Vlad, Bassitt etc and if we aim for MLB ready/near ready returns, can still be competitive and probably with a lot more long term salary flexibility, at least for a few years. -
You realize the above probably equals a billion dollars USD in spend.

Arenado rejected Houston. Why would he go to Toronto?
-
It’s the same interview that was transcribed here earlier in the thread. Gives you some context of how Vladdy answered the questions about any offers from the Jays. The part he gets animated is him talking about the Jays offers/or lack of.
-
Yea, I have always thought about Big Papi is these discussions. I would say he is more an outlier. If you are making an investment decision, weight/body type is a huge risk factor. Just the fact of the most likely outcome for a pro hitter.

Again… Weight May Affect Cervical Disc Degeneration Indirectly including the cervical or neck portion of the spine…that does not have to do with the spine supporting body weight, or the biomechanics of the spine. It has to do with the affect obesity has on the metabolic state of the body, and inflammation.
-
The Jays have needed two big bats for two seasons now, coming into the third. Nothing video game when you consider the Jays had at least two opportunities for Teo the last three years and to date have decided not to go that route. Maybe not good value, but a needed reality in totality. The Jay’s FO created this situation on their own and we have every right to critize them without saying it is hyperbole.
-
It doesn’t have to be that exact issue. Weight is an issue to a 30 yr plus ~ athlete who’s really sole value is derived from his ability to violently torque his body consistently and catch up with 95 mph ~ pitches. When you make an investment in anything, you need to assess ROI and risk. Vlad is a much riskier proposition to me and obviously others than a comparable athlete in peak physical condition.
-
Weight is a factor many times in issues that cause careers to be cut short. Both Vlad and Prince started behind the curve. We have had the debate here multiple times as to the root cause of Prince’s neck issues. All the medical research I saw on it had weight as a causative or contributing factor.
-
No, just to a poster who can’t spell Witt’s name properly because he grew up with Ernie Whitt… My bad…
-
You want to lock Vlad in until he is 41!??? This is a guy who has weight/conditioning issues in his early 20s. Prince Fielder was out of baseball at like 32…
-
I concur. The two BIG bats in addition to what is currently on the roster is a must!!! It can't be trade Bo for specs and sign a big bat. It needs to be Vlad, Bo, Springer performing at expectations, plus 2 big bats!
-
Just food for thought. Bobby Whitt jr signed a contract in 2024 for 11/$288m ~. Vlad wants $400 plus/$500m~ I would rather have Whitt every day and twice Sunday and for half the price. Trade Vlad for some specs/players that will aggregate to Witt.

You say better IF defense than Edman, as if Edman does not provide excellent D at his IF positions?? Or is this guy super duper elite D?? -

By the way, Diehard is 100% a Christmas movie. Anyone who disagrees I will fight you! -

Merry Christmas to y’all from Park City, Utah. We have a small portable Christmas tree from Amazon in the hotel living room by the fireplace for the kids. We will be using the NORAD Santa tracker to see where Santa’s sleigh is tonight. Daddy will be up late checking MLB trade rumors to see if anything will be left under the tree tomorrow morning for Blue Jays fans. I am hoping we don’t get coal in our stockings… -
There is no Boxing Day in the U.S. Maybe he can get a deal on Nick Piveta though
-
I am not being supportive of Vlad and I have been on the trade him bandwagon since last offseason when I wanted to move him to San Diego. A quick Google search shows it is the norm for GMs to attend arb hearings, especially for star players or big $$. I remember AA talking about it and other GMs on MLB radio. Regardless, I think what Vlad is saying is that Ross has no cajones and it was also demonstrated during the post season press conference in 2023.
-
Ross throwing John under the bus and sending an assistant to the arb hearing lines up with my impression of Ross, among a litany of other issues.
-
Apparently as part of the signing pitch to Soto, Cohen told him he promises to add more big bats to the lineup and not just settle on their laurels. I was pretty sure Alonso was coming back and if not him, then at least one of the remaining big bats.

Buehler to the Red Sox… 1yr $21.5m

When I was writing my post no one had posted yet. You must have finished 30 seconds before me. That’s ok, in my experience my partners tend to enjoy that additional minute.
