  1. I'm all in if we can avoid a follow up Dickey like trade. Although we already did a Dickley like trade last year by trading Moreno/Gurriel for Varsho lol.
  2. Ya I'm with you here. Ohtani will most likely be paid like he'll start for 80% of his contract when it looks like it'll be closer to 20% after 2 TJs. Him playing OF as he's only getting older and heavier seems like a stretch. Although I wonder if there's ever a chance he'd go from starting to becoming a closer. I think he could still play 1B and become a closer later on.
  3. Someone should Ohtani that California will be underwater soon... safer to be in Toronto where Global Warming effects are trending positively here lol.
  4. I'm waiting for this f***er to make his decision so I can stop refreshing this thread. Got nothing but to overthink things until then lol
  5. Disagree... I understand the logic to have him leadoff but there are other effects by having him bat 2nd or 3rd. It provides better lineup balance (lefties and righties) and more importantly ensures whoever bats in front of him will see strikes. A guy like Vlad can truly takeoff being pitched like that instead of giving that benefit to your number 9 hitter.
  6. Bellinger the player yes but Bellinger at his rumored deal? Hell nah lol.
  7. So if we got Ohtani... where would you guys bat him assuming we're not going to get hitters better than Bo/Vlad/Springer? I think batting 3rd makes sense but providing protection to Bo is utterly useless since he is going to swing at pitches no matter where they are. A guy like Vlad would benefit from being protected by Ohtani the most but its hard to justify batting him 2nd after the season he just had. I'd still go with Springer / Vlad / Ohtani / Bo.
  8. If he's not coming here then he better go to the Dodgers. Him going back to the Angels would be a joke.
  9. Kiermaier baby. I actually want him back and like him better than Varsho anyways lol.
  10. So if the Jays get him for say 13/650, you'd be ecstatic to have him? That contract would take him to age 43 lol.
  11. Lol nice. And no, getting Ohtani doesnt make or break them. What breaks them is we've yet to win a damn playoff game in their era so if we fail to win a playoff series this year, they should be out the door. They've had enough time/resources to get s*** done and so far they've been a big let down. The product on the field hasn't gotten it done while our "waves of talent" is severely lacking in the farm system.
  12. Since we're all waiting for real news, i wonder what's the breaking point for everyone in the Ohtani talk. Like at which point do you think it'll be a horrible deal for the Jays and getting a 30 year old Ohtani won't make you happy? I'm seeing crazy numbers like 12/600. If I see that then I don't know how happy I'd be knowing the Jays would be screwed for almost half of that deal.
  13. LOL what a f***ing idiot. If these guys don't get Ohtani, you can bet fans are gonna want to clean house. f***ing robots from top down man lol.
  14. Ya I'm in the same boat. Just waiting for him to sign with the Dodgers and then say "wow, what a horrible contract... rather use the money elsewhere" lol

  17. Still remember when he came back to the city just to dick us in the end. Getting the news he signed with the Clippers was my most heartbreaking spprts news ever
  18. Expecting to wake up to news Ohtani has signed with us lol
  19. Ya you're right... not sure if Ohtani would go meet any of the other teams on their premises lol
  20. Is this a big deal? He's meeting every team that's in final contention I'd assume.
  21. Ya we def need to add a guy at the level of Hicks. Hopefully being familiar gives us the edge on being able to match any offer.
  22. I think the depth is good but we still lack another top notch reliever. I've said many times that Romano should never be your teams best reliever. Even if the guy we get doesn't become our closer, still need 1 more elite bullpen arm.
  23. If we land Ohtani, we don't need to add a starter. If anything, bringing back Ryu on a 1 year deal is more than enough. My list would be in order of priority: Starting 3B Starting LF Top reliever who can replace Romano if needed (Hicks).
