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.

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...
-
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.

Translated - The Canadian Team is close to signing Venezuelan [Anthony Santandar] after several media reported contract proposal for 4 years and 82 Million

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
No, that was some other random, which was "90% co-signed" by someone who used to post here i believe lol.

Alonso comes with a comp pick... most teams arent wasting that unless they get Alonso on a longer deal than 1 season. Mets/Red Sox/Yankees are gearing up to sign Vladdy next off-season so will be interesting to see how Alonso's market shapes out. We definitely need his sort of power in our lineup but have 0 faith in our front office to make it happen.
-
There's definitely still a few paths for us to be good next year. Let's hope for all our entertainment values that we take one. Profar/Flaherty and one of Alonso/Bregman would do it for me. We must get 1 of the guys attached with a comp pick.
-
I would love it if we could get King+ for Vlad... that's if he's out of our budget.
-
Ya for lesser value than you would get if you trade them now.
-
It was actually a risky trade that Masai made... something the Leafs know nothing about by running it back with the same losers year after year lol
-
I'm glad to advise that the Thumbs down feature is working great lol
-
2019 was all we needed... Raptors put this city on its back while the Leafs continue to choke year after year lol

Blue Jays are doing everything in their power to revamp everything except for their team on the field lol
-
Haha that's gotta be a troll job by using the Maple Laughs logo as well lol
-
Dear God... forgot this happened lol
-
What they've needed to do for a while now is figure out the Bo/Vlad situations by either re-signing or trading them. This would easily help you determine what path this team should be taking going forward. Those choices you listed don't justify keeping our 2 best players in their current state and would be a repeat of 2024 but with much better free agency crop that doesn't give you the excuse for f***ing it up.
-
Think we can agree that the "projected" deals and below are typically good deals by free agency standards. I get the comp pick thing but this franchise doesnt have any other alternative to fill those gaps so either pay the price or rebuild. Most think it's probably more reasonable to rebuild than try to contend at this stage but that will all come down to how much Rogers wants to keep funding this operation. The results as of today show we're doing both horribly lol.

He's here... he's been laughing at all the crying lol.
