  1. Those cupholders aren't going to pay for themselves lol
  2. J.D. Martinez was my number 1 DH target simply because I thought a big 1 year deal was enough for him. Soler even with this contract was my number 2 choice but the difference isn't making or breaking the season. Turner does offer more positional flexibility than J.D. does so that's something but I cared mostly about getting the biggest bats possible for this lineup. Getting one of Chapman/Bellinger on a reasonable deal can still salvage this offseason.
  3. Ya I cherry picked by saying his last 3 full seasons and ignored his partial seasons in 2022 and 2020. Similar to the age 39 version of Turner, you can throw him in the field but won't like what you see there so both are technically full time DHs here.
  4. 3/42 doesn't seem that bad at all. You usually have to overpay in free agency and this isn't really that for a 31 year old. He has been pretty damn good at the plate in his last 3 full seasons. If he stays healthy, I prefer this to Turner's deal simply because of Turners age and lack of upside but it's extremely close. Not gonna cry about this and just hope we can somehow land one of Bellinger/Chapman on a good deal.
  5. Blue Jays fan survey results: Diminished excitement, lowered confidence in 2024 team https://theathletic.com/5257579/2024/02/12/blue-jays-fan-survey-results-2024/
  6. You think I pay for s*** either? Just sharing the rankings that I saw lol
  7. https://theathletic.com/5258158/2024/02/09/mlb-farm-system-rankings-2024/ Keith Law's farm system rankings. Orioles are 1 and the Jays are 20.
  8. Bellinger can also play 1B on days Vladdy DHs. Also until Varsho shows he can hit consistently, it feels stupid to give him a full year of ABs from LF. Again, don't see it happening. Probably more realistic that Chappy is brought back and then we have a glut of IFs with weak hitting Lefty OFs.
  9. Even Turner is like "I can't be the last move" lol
  10. Don't forgot J.D. Martinez. Pretty much all the guys who were near the top of their position in free agency need homes. Hope Boras falls flat on his face because I've always hated his ego as an agent lol.
  11. Even that I think is too much. I thought he should have gotten the Springer 6/150 deal but probably got overpaid by someone for 7/175.
  12. I apologize for not reading every page of this thread lol
  13. Just hope that the Boras clients start to get desperate and his price comes down to where the Jays feel happy to take the risk. Obviously that's the only way this happens.
  14. Insert Sean Strickland video lol. I agree with what you're saying but I truly wish there was a "f*** it" mentality here. He will help you win games and that's all I care about.
  15. This makes me sick. Grow some balls Shatkins and sign the man. Then trade one of our current starters for some hitting help.
  16. Being on the cover of MLB the Show was too much to overcome lol
  17. Offseason might not be loss folks. If we can just add 1 big bat to squeeze in between Bo and Vlad, we are cooking.
  18. In our hearts, 2015 was all we needed. I still believe that we had the best team in baseball that year. Never once have I felt that way during the Shatkins era. It's crazy because the best team during the Shatkins era in my eyes was the year we didn't even make the playoffs in 2021. That was our best chance to win it all but Shatkins took too long to bolster to bullpen that year.
  19. So you're saying they're holding back from building the best possible team because of expanded playoffs? Maybe that's why we have 0 playoff wins in this era loll.
  20. We wish we had an average farm system. Baseball America has us ranked 24th, which is one of the worst farm systems in baseball. Also imagine if baseball didn't expand their playoffs... not even sure if we would have had a single playoff appearance under Shatkins in that scenario lol.
  21. It's crazy that our payroll is maxed out and THIS is the team we have. How the hell are we going to look in a year or so when we have to figure out Bo/Vlad. Either we're losing them for prospects or we bring them back and have to cut payroll from elsewhere. Now I won't say they have done a horrible job, I just had higher expectations considering where we were after 2020.
  22. Vlad will def win his case imo.
  23. So you got Matt Chapman trying to get paid more than Altuve eh lol
