  1. I don't know if I am in the minority here, likely, but I hope the FO trades Vladdy ASAP. Boston is in our division, but to (say) get Casas and two of their best prospects would be a boon. Maybe Jake Burger and 3 Ranger prospects? Anyway, he will be a season long distraction. Buh-bye.
  2. I have loved Stoeten's stuff for a while. I read his stuff probably before a lot of other writers, tbh. I also love anything written by Shi, even though he needs to be a company man.
  3. I dislike the FO for many reasons. But, IMO, if Vladdy was given a fair offer north of $400M, and he refused, f*** him. Trade him now.
  4. I dislike this FO, but I think they gave Vladdy a good offer. I would trade him to Texas for Berger and 4 prospects. Berger (sp?) projects for ~ 2 WAR. the prospects could fortify our farm. TBH. f*** Vladdy.
  5. I really, really hope the Blue Jays consider trading Vladdy right now. If we can rob a franchise of 4 top prospects+, and maybe an okay option at 1B, it would make a lot of sense long term. I would honestly consider being really aggressive signing Bo long term now, too. If it's not too late. This whole scenario is s*****, but to start the season on such a sour note is brutal. If we get rid of the distraction, and load up, I could live with it.
  6. It sounds like Anthony Rendon will be riding the pine for the next two years. I wonder why they just don't cut him. It's embarrassing. What a bad contract. Also, do you think the Jays should trade for him? He plays 3B :)
  7. And I still think they have one more big move - you're right, it trumps the summer they brought in all the Marlins and Dickey.
  8. Kind of interesting. Scherzer always fit the Jays plans for 2025, but like almost everyone, I thought he would never pick the Jays in a million years. I am sure he had a few suitors for that price, and really, this guys is not hurting for money to begin with so he can choose to be picky, but he picked us. A really nice surprise.
  9. Vladdy signed a $28.5M deal, avoiding arbitration. If the Jays do extend him to a 10-year, 12-year, whatever, would they still have the option to defer some of that 2025 salary, like pay him $5-10M for 2025 instead of the $28.5 and backend that f***er? I mean, that would be an amazing way to free up CBT space, extend Vladdy, etc. Assuming Vladdy would be in agreement, to have a better team around him, would MLB allow this?
  10. I didn't realize how decent Santander's arm is...check this out... He ranks 126 overall, but his fastest throw is over 99 mph, putting him 20th. Huh. This is courtesy https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/arm-strength?type=player&year=2024&minThrows=50&pos=&team=&sortColumn=max_arm_strength&sortDirection=desc
  11. If the Jays extend Vlad (75% chance, IMO), sign Santander and Alonso, does this team have the talent to do something in 2025?
  12. Honestly, if they sign Santander and a couple of other relievers for the bullpen, they should stay around .500 - which excites me because I want to see both Bichette and Vladdy traded at the deadline and start rebuilding this lame team and a ~ .500 record is likely good for last place in the AL East which will force their hand and make changes necessary.
  13. Will the Jays do anything in the new year? Perhaps. Santander? JD Martinez? ...discuss
  14. Yep, 100% agree. What sort of haul would the Jays get for these trades. A couple of blue chips and a few high risk, high reward youngsters? Who arew good fits?
  15. it honestly sounds like the best long term scenario for this franchise is for the team to not do very well, but have unreal seasons from Vlad and Bo, who are then traded at the deadline for a fistful of prospects and controls. I am guessing both hauls individually would be better than the Kikuchi haul - at least I would hope. I guess you could add some other decent expiring contracts to the list.
  16. I am 99% sure Giminez is penciled-in at SS now, or 2026. I wonder what the Jays could get for Bichette?
  17. Holy, now that you've said that he really does. Nice!
  18. That would dwarf the Trout/Ohtani at bat, which I thought was incredible.
  19. The Darvish thing was really hard to swallow. I almost wanted to quit liking baseball at that point. With Ohtani, I thought here we are again...I left work early to go home and follow the frenzy, only to be punched in the gut. Being a fan really sucks sometimes.
  20. I don't know about ironic. I remember being more pumped by the Martin signing, mostly because he is Canadian, but both were meh+ for me. As a contrast, when I found out Fernandez and McGriff were traded, as I was driving on the highway, I pulled over and just sat slack-jawed beside the highway for 10 minutes. When the jays traded for Dickie and all the Miami Marlins I was pretty pumped. Springer and Martin, for me anyway, elicited a "huh" response.
  21. PED suspensions are never awesome, but his was so ill timed. We could all have such a better idea who this guy is at this point. I actually have to remind myself to think of Orelvis.
