  1. Can't blame him... we hope to get the same luxury if Vlad hits free agency lol.
  2. Then why do we even talk on this messageboard, let's just sign off on everything they do... And I'll choose to trust a front office that isn't universally laughed at and on the verge of being fired lol.
  3. And I disagree with that approach if that one dimension is what your team needs. Like I said, teams are undervaluing what having a good to great number 3/4 hitter means. This team just traded for a one dimensional 2nd baseman on a 6/100M deal and I'd argue this team needs a middle of the bat player more than it needs a defensive 2nd baseman. Now if he plays SS, it's a different story.
  4. Didn't seem to hurt Semien's contract or Vlads MVP votes where he would have won if not for Ohtani in 2021.
  5. For sure but it's not like there are teams beating down his door to make a much better offer. I'm baffled by the small numbers being presented at this stage. Teams are undervaluing what it means to have a solidified number 3/4 hitter on your team. The Jays did it with Teo and now the Mets will regret it with Pete if he leaves.
  6. I'd join you only in that scenario too

  8. I know... I just tweaked your idea into something better if we were to trade Bo lol.
  9. If you're trading Bo then go sign Bregman and we probably don't even skip a beat. Also Gimenez's main selling point is defense so he better be playing SS and let Wagner/Clement fight for 2B. Still so many questions with the roster that all begin with Vlads/Bo's extension.
  10. Ya but baseball expanded its playoffs since then so that's a big reason for any optimism. For baseball playoffs you just want to get in and look respectable doing it.
  11. Haha can't hate on that approach.
  12. He better put in work, he is going to cost Bregman and Alonso a lot of money lol. Their best offers were the original ones from their teams.
  13. Not a fan of a the Yankees tbh. Their offense was mainly 2 players last year and they just lost 1 of them. Orioles will always be a threat with their core but lost Burnes and Santandar. Astros lost tucker and most likely Bregman. My point is that almost every team in the AL feels the same or worse, the Jays could easily be there with any of them. It's the NL where there are much better teams than the Jays without question.
  14. I was waiting for someone to compile this list lol.
  15. I'm just guessing the Dodgers are trying to make some trades off their 40 man before being able to make this official.
  16. Would love to see Scherzer just for the dynamics between him and the front office. If we thought Chapman, Whit, Bassitt, etc. were "outspoken," this has the entertainment value of 100 written all over it lol.
  17. If the Jays land Alonso/Scherzer, which AL team is for sure better than us?
  18. Gosh, you're such a wet blanket, have some faith!!
  19. If we get Alonso, I don't give a f*** who gets credit... MY JAYS will be back and entertaining again. Sucks that I got my heart set on getting Alonso or Bregman now. Don't let me downnnnnn.

  21. Hey I'm with you... our writers have been poo pooing our entire off-season. Really hope Hector is right because I'm salivating thinking of all the home runs we could see with Alonso in the lineup.
  22. Hector treading the line of becoming this year's Morosi lol
  23. I was just responding to the back and forth above me. Not sure what part of what I said is complaining, I'd be happy as hell if we landed Alonso and have said many times i LOVED the Santandar deal. Pointing out who I'd prefer to give the credit to isn't complaining...
  24. Great deal but this team is still an impact bat and starter away from being serious. That means the team would have a 300M payroll so if you want to to give credit to someone to field a competitive squad with that level of payroll and a crappy farm system then more power to you. I'd probably give my credit to Rogers for stepping up and spending that much in this scenario.
  25. I have 0 respect for our local guys, especially when it comes to breaking news but it would be crazy for them to say this and then we sign either of them shortly.
