Kirky chokes in another clutch situation... why is he still ahead of Springer again?
It takes this management team so long to make common sense moves man...
If 500/14 is the best deal the Jays can get then might as well wait until free agency and hope to match the best offer. There is 0 discount on that deal to do it now.
Could have had him for 300M last year if the Jays wanted to jump the gun. Putting up great numbers once all the pressure was off last year shouldn't change your opinion to increase the offer by 200M..
Rumors were Vlad wanted 500M at least with 0 deferrals. If that's the deal we sign for a guy who is replacement level half the time then it'll be franchise crippling considering the length it'll be.
It is from a Jays attendance standpoint. People may tune out far earlier than expected if the Jays don't do well to start. Doesn't bode well to sustain a 275M payroll going forward...
It's really difficult to see using a guy who you didn't think was good enough to break camp over Lovelady but all of a sudden is good enough to face Soto in an important situation...
Come on man... you make it sound like we took out Gausman for a prime Andrew Miller. When our choices are what they are from the left side then you keep Gausman in no question... especially when Gausman didn't give up a single hit since the 1st inning.
Wagner at 3B, Straw at CF, Santandar at DH would have been my choice but still a solid lineup. Just need Vlad/Santandar to start hitting some damn bombs.
Great start for the Jays... not even clicking on all cylinders but still showing great signs. Get some power in there and Varsho will also be returning soon.
