Holy f***... I'm happy Bogaerts is out of our division and even happier he left the Red Sox. The Padres are gonna be stacked next year with Tatis coming back too.
Soto/Tatis/Machado/Bogaerts - is this the best 4some in baseball?
Nope... not until I see an improvement from him or at least an equivalent. While I hated his lack of hustle on defense, his bat was big for us.
Still a lot of time to do something but I'll be here bitching until we do lol.
Probably should have waited to trade Teo if we really didn't have anything lined up. Getting a little anxious with some names coming off the table and the Dodgers/Yankees lurking to patch their holes. Those teams will always outbid us for anyone they really want.
If the Astros get Contreras, why even play next year? Obviously I'm kidding... kind of... maybe not lol.
Regardless, that'll be one of the best lineups in recent memory.
Every year people cry about the free agent market and how everyone's being overpaid. Either you have an endless budget or you need to fit on most of the deals you dish out. Welcome to the big boy club.
When I hear the words run prevention, I'd assume improving your defense in the most important spots would be important. Guess it could be the typical Atkins BS lol.
That better mean we need to upgrade the 2 most important defensive positions in baseball (CF and SS). The Jays are extremely close to taking the next and most important step... really hope this offseason we address our major needs.
We paid 3/36 for our 5th starter who was coming off being a turd in the 2nd half of his free agent season... just wanted to respond to your comment about there being worse ways with an precise example lol
I honestly thought the Jays would have been on the verge of signing an OFer as soon as they traded Teo.
Now we play the waiting game before we decide whether to get out our pitch forks or not lol.
