Only happy if we find a good alternative. If we strike out like last year, fans will be crying about that missed opportunity. We'll see what the great minds of Shatkins have in store lol
Wonder when other teams will say that about the Jays. I'd get it if we were rebuilding but we were supposed to be in a contending window the past few years lol.
This works out great if you got "waves of talent" coming through the farm to replace the more expensive talent. Instead we've been getting rid of our good players and replacing them with nothing... it's why we're where we are...
Bellinger 47.5/2 + Cody Poteet or Teo 4/85 + compensation pick.
Not gonna lie, the Yankees made out better than I initially thought if you compare it to signing Teo/Satandar to their "expected" deals.
LOL it's a broken record at this point. Let's hope Shatkins got something up their sleeves or they'll be banned from Canada just like our soon be ex PM lol.
The difference is that Kirk knows he fat and slow so he'll almost never risk a stupid out on the bases. Vladdy, while being fast for a fatty, is still a fatty and doesn't know his own true speed.
Our GM of all GMs should have first hand experience as to what Teo brings to a team. Hell, it's been painfully obvious from a fan standpoint when watching the offense become a joke after his departure.
Obviously it's not 100% because of him but he played a big part in why. Just suck up your pride and admit you f***ed up twice by not keeping/getting Teo and bring him back if that's close to his contract demands.
That is crazy he hasn't been offered this coming off batting cleanup for the world series champs. Like wtf lol.
He deserves a 4th year based on the leverage he should have but would obviously prefer a 3 year deal imo.

Looks like Leo Jimenez and Hagen Danner were awarded an extra year of options due to their injury history. Good news as we don't gotta trade or get rid of these guys this year.
The Jays current and future outlook is pretty damn bad man. If we as fans, who have some level of homerism in us can see it, you're sure as hell rest of the MLB can see it. We can't even get our own homegrown signed to extensions...
Like I was saying, they're on Tilt after losing Soto the way they did. If we aren't re-signing Vlad/Bo, it was the perfect time to trade with them lol.
Pretty sure we just gotta overpay guys just like every other team has to do in free agency. I doubt Teo looked at us like he wouldn't comeback if we actually showed him we wanted him.
Just comes down to Shatkins not feeling comfortable overpaying guys on any longterm deals unless they truly LOVE the guy. Typically it's a good strategy if you have a good farm system but we all know the desperate position we're in.
Youre right if they werent going to pay him but I think Astros fans would have preferred they just paid Tucker instead lol.
Figuring this out is something our current front office should be doing, which they still might.
