    Seems like a follow up on the original tweet. Not sure why a Cardinals account has more info than our own folks but here we are.

    More information about "Three Teams Have Emerged As Serious Suitors for Alex Bregman: Tigers, Red Sox, and Blue Jays"
    Ari Alexander of the Houston-based NBC affiliate KPRC2, has reported that three teams appear to be in on the former Astros third baseman: the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers are looking to spend and compete after a surprise postseason run in 2024 while the Red Sox have toyed with the idea of moving Rafael Devers off third base where his glove can be problematic. The Jays could use both Bregman's steady glove and solid power at the hot corner. It's always concerning to see a power righty come out of Houston given that the Crawford boxes are easy exploits for pull hitters. It turns out, Bregman actually hit slightly more career home runs on the road than he did at Minute Maid.

    Give the guy a break, I'm pretty sure he's looking at the possibility of using free agency to potentially add to the team if the parameters of the players and team align lol.

    Ya I get Vlads performance has made this far from a black and white issue when looking at the long picture. At this stage, he has set the beginning of training camp as the deadline for any extension talks. Everything he has said since becoming a Jay is that he wants to be here forever. We just haven't seen anything reciprocal from the Jays management team but they should already know what their cutoff price is by now. I just don't understand why communication with your best player has to drag for so long. I thought the Jays brass would be arranging these meetings ASAP so they can also move accordingly for the rest of free agency. This lax approach is just weird for me... like what else are you doing with your time that is more important.
  7. Jays24
    I think the Jays missed the boat on maximizing any potential return by not doing this right away in free agency before other teams could already plug those holes. Vlads been with the organization long enough that there needed to be a lot more back and forth communication on an extension before today. At this stage, it would be anyone's guess what we could get back but my assumption would be that the Mets would offer us the most in such a scenario.

    Ya I wanted Teo all along but we desperately need to improve our offense from the corner OF spot and he's the best player out there for that. We still need 1 more power bat in the top 4 of the lineup but I doubt this team will be able to add it.
  9. Jays24
    So maybe the Spanish reports were true that we've given him a formal offer that hes close to accepting. Hopefully it's at the 4/82 mark but feel like the Jays are gonna have to give the extra year to get anyone to sign here this offseason. Let's see.
  10. Jays24
    We don't need another serious organization in our division. This is what teams probably said about us from 2022 - Present Day lol
  11. Jays24
    For a bunch of folks who live and die by analytics, I'm surprised how they're not seeing the probability of getting more value if he was traded ASAP vs trading him at the deadline lol. In the end, you never know what tomorrow holds but don't you want your team to pick the probability with the best odds of benefiting the Jays?
  12. Jays24
    I'm good with not posting this stuff but seemed like this board was transitioning to creating new threads for new news rather than the old approach of having everything included in 1 thread. He seemed to have a lot of suitors but that's probably more to do with his glove.
  13. Jays24
    Honestly, I put him part of the steroids era. This dude was a complete scrub who turned into a monster out of nowhere. Although I think people thought the same of Jose Bautista so impossible to know lol.

    Dodgers taking another guy the Jays were rumored to be involved in lol

    I mentioned to do that a few times as the Pelicans did it with Zion in the NBA but Vladdy has all the leverage here. I'm sure teams would offer him the money without this clause. Just sucks but the Jays gotta find their breaking point like yesterday so they can proceed to make the required moves to improve this team going forward.
  19. Jays24
    It was crazy how all we heard was a first baseman has never cracked the 300M contract mark but here we are. I still think the Soto contract is absurdly stupid so that should definitely never be used as a benchmark for your decisions. I'm also not a fan of people with Vlad's body type and if you take away his incentives to stay in shape, how will he look in his 30s...
  20. Jays24
    It could have been but the rumour is supposedly saying we are moving past those initial rumours and are close to actually signing him. Could obviously be BS and as a scorned Jays fan I lean on that side lol.
  21. Jays24
    Translated - The Canadian Team is close to signing Venezuelan [Anthony Santandar] after several media reported contract proposal for 4 years and 82 Million
  22. Jays24
    This is like saying Soto's value isn't the same because you can also get Teo for a cheaper cost. No one is putting those guys on the level of Vlad entering his age 26 season. The Padres showed last year how you're supposed to conduct business with a player entering his contract year. You should know very early into free agency where your team stands with the player. The fact that Shatkins are still waiting to do this into January when they've had god knows how much time to figure their s*** out is borderline incompetent. They've let potential suitors for Vlad already patch up the position meaning less competition for a bidder war. Let's see how things go before making further comments.
  23. Jays24
    The attitude was for your treatment of jaysblue. How dare you reject his proposal to meet up for beers in the new year. Just kidding... my bad for being a dick lol.
  24. Jays24
    Not even sure why you would need to explain this to a grown person. Of course you'd get more in return for a full year of Vlad coming off the season he just did vs 2 months of Vlad where there is performance/injury risks lol.
  25. Jays24
    This is where I'm at. I'm sure the Jays have a number they'll cutoff negotiations after. Fans just want to see them employ some sort of plan, whether that's with or without Vlad. Obviously I'd love if he could stay but letting him walk in free agency CANNOT be an option.
