  1. Maybe the front office said screw locking in Bo and Vlad... let's give Ohtani and Soto those contracts while they trade those 2 to fill out the rest of the roster with young controllable talent. Probably a stretch since those 2 will combine for a billion dollars.
  2. I remember being on the edge of my seat when we were going after Springer. Ohtani might get 4 times his contract. Ridiculous to think that lol.
  3. Atkins is in the same position AA was when he went all in during the 2015 season. I wouldn't be shocked to see some desperation moves from them since they could all get canned if they suck in 2024. Let's just hope it'll be as fun as 2015 because that was my most enjoyable season as a Jays fan.
  4. Just gonna live in fantasy land and assume we get both Ohtani and Soto lol. DH Ohtani SS Bo LF Soto 1B Vlad RF Springer CF Varsho C Kirk/Jansen 3B ? 2B Biggio/Schneider
  5. There is no way we should be trading our best prospects for Soto if it doesn't come with an extension. I believe he said he's hitting free agency regardless so the trade price better reflect a dude who might leave after 1 season. But I will still dream of a lineup with both Ohtani and Soto in it to the point I'll start playing MLB The Show again lol.
  6. Even if the Jays don't get him... it's always good to drive up the price so another team has less money to get other players.
  7. I want Ohtani so I'll just be excited to see him in a Jays jersey short term. Based on the contract, I'll probably have different thoughts long term. Hard to give an answer until final details come out
  8. Yup... if we are below .500 with Ohtani, most will give 2 f***s about him and the team. Now if we are good with Ohtani (which we should be projected to be) then its an amazing story. Dudes 30 years old and many thought Jose Bautista would last in his later 30s. The excitement of just getting him will override the longterm repercussions lol.
  9. This threads becoming a wet dream and I'm here for it. If we can land a big fish, I'd go nuts. Still ranking Soto ahead of Ohtani strictly due to us saving enough money to use elsewhere. Soto plays a corner OF spot so it fills a void at the same time. Crazy because Soto was on the verge of getting the biggest deal ever before he got traded to SD. But you only trade for Soto if it comes with an extension because you will definitely be losing some top prospects/talent in the transaction.
  10. No doubt the Jays look good on paper with Ohtani but we all know games aren't won like that. I was just talking about people who say they won't complain if we get Ohtani lol
  11. Maaannn... you know that's a crock because you'd complain this upcoming season if we still suck. Angels sucked with the same guy AND Trout so it's very possible lol.
  12. 0 chance I'd want to give any baseball player 600M... let alone a player who has a chance of just being a DH for most of the contract. This is a type of contract that rarely ever works out and can screw you for the entire length of it. Obviously I'd be pumped to get Ohtani but the backend of that deal is gonna be extreme dark times.
  13. Imagine if we traded Kikuchi afterwards to save some money loll
  14. The ohtani news is unreal. Even if we don't get him has me excited because that means we have A LOT of money to work with this offseason. Getting an impact guy like Soto wouldn't be out of the question. Still wondering where all this funding is coming up for a team that just blew so much on their renovations too.
  15. Ya I'm all for the argument that I'd rather pay Soto and get another stud player instead of Ohtani but I'd rather have Ohtani if the other isn't available obviously. But we all know what this is already... Ohtani will keep using other teams as much as he can to squeeze every penny out of the Dodgers. He's going there without question imo.
  16. Ah yes, the annual Ramirez "rumours" Who the hell says they wanna stay in Cleveland and takes a payout doing it man... he would have been ours otherwise.
  17. Giving up your best prospect(s) for 1 year of Soto without an extension is how you get your ass fired and hated in this town for life.
  18. This statement hss been sponsored by the Rays lol
  19. Guys talking about Disengagements when we're about to get Ohtaniiiii lol
  20. French Soup needs to consolidate his posts. Man's taking over every thread lol
  21. But one injury and you're totally f***ed. Baseball of all sports has never been a sport where 1 guy can carry you all the way. Heck, him and Trout couldn't even make the Angels relevant together all those years. What we know is that if you win and mash some Homers, the eyes will automatically follow you.
  22. Quite the leap here lol. Although I do wish there is someone in the locker room that is bullying the fat asses to get into shape on our team.
  23. Man... 500M to 600M is such unreal money for a single player. We're at a point where it might a better investment to use those funds on several other players. Ohtani alone might make more than the Rays entire roster loll. Wish our 9 to 5 jobs could have the inflation that all pro sports players are getting lol.
  24. Not even close... Votto drinks Molson and loves Maple syrup. Get that man on the team lol
  25. And Bo's "coincidentally" on the trade block. Reminds me of all the guys who got shipped out from the 2016 team because they didn't like Shatkins. Fragile ego for sure. Probably getting flashbacks to when he used to get wedgied as a kid loll.
