    Ya I'm not giving up this while he's 20 years old and we have him under control for so long. All while Ramirez can leave us in 2 years with nothing to show for him. Groshans, Kirk and mid level prospect is as high as I'd go at this stage.

    That throw if it were to 1B would have gotten Kirk out I think lol

    I did hear a "Blue Jays Suck" chant by a few loud folks lol

    Martinez is a stud. He seems ready to contribute right now. I'd be shocked if he isn't with the big club starting 2023.

    That 500 dollars just cut into our extension money for Vlad. Thanks Pete lol
  6. Jays24
    Damn... Jays spending hundreds of millions on facility upgrades and yet cant give new pants to their players lol

    This is what bad defense does to pitching. Judge should have been out and it just changes the whole inning.
  8. Jays24
    You were saying? Lol
  9. Jays24
    Well that's s*****... hope we can move past this without an issue.

    Watching Gurriel in the OF doesn't make me feel that reading routes can be improves too drastically. Seems like a very instinctual skill that needs to be practiced to death if you're trying to improve there.

    After seeing the amount of money going to the Rockies, not a fan of the trade. But I've also never seen Tapia play in my life so there's that lol. Just seems like a downgrade from the 2022 roster unless we make a follow up move.
  12. Jays24
    Was not expecting this. Unless we make a follow up move, the 2022 roster has slightly become worse for this season. Hate him all you want but he was a passable option at CF defensively while being a very streaky bat offensively. This is why I think we are doing something with the money saved here. Either we get a better backup OF or get a 2B and make Biggio our backup everywhere.

    That Teo rumour makes me so sad. Can't believe we'd be trying to trade him. Hopefully that doesn't mean his extension demands are unreasonable.

    We have the worst bullpen amongst all the elite teams in baseball and yet no one's talking about how we really didn't do anything to improve here.
  15. Jays24
    2 F's and counting lol.
  16. Jays24
    No, you fail the test.

    I believe most can agree that we essentially have the same team but swapped Semien/Ray/Matz for Chapman/Gausman/Kikuchi. Now I understand the easy answer could be the top 3 finalist and CY Young winner from last year but I think the answer is a bit more complicated than that. First, you'd have to assume that Ray/Semien would be able to replicate the same year after cashing in on their performances. Then you have to be an optimist and believe Chapman has more room for improvements and will be hungry for his big pay day exactly like Semien was prior to joining us. You'd also have to consider factors like Semien being a 2B, which created a hole for us at 3B whereas a player like Chapman plugs that hole and let's Biggio play in his more suitable position at 2B. So ultimately, which trio of players would you want on this team going forward if money wasn't a factor for the Jays? And if you feel the answer is Semien/Ray/Matz, do you feel we're a worse team than last year? Or do you assume the uptick in our young players should easily cover the downgrade and more?

    I wouldn't say it's by design but it just speaks to the demograph of the rest of Canada vs the GTA. Not trying to turn this into a race thing but colored folks are more interested in basketball while baseball is primarily a white folk game with some exceptions of course. It is what it is. The Raptors during their championship run were drawing bandwagoners all across the country and pulling in ratings that no one thought was possible for basketball in this country. The Jays would clearly do the same but it would be more expected.
  19. Jays24
    Raptors are massive regionally (GTA pretty much) with some fans sprinkled here and there throughout the country whereas the Jays are massive nationally. There is no comparison there and I'm saying that as a Raptors fan first and foremost.

    That's exactly where I'm at with our team. I don't want us to deplete our farm to have a 2 year run and then struggle to restock the big league team with adequate pieces. If we can agree to an extension with JRam then I'd toss Biggio into that trade package.
  21. Jays24
    Chapman battling for the number 2 spot in there order! Like I said, he will bat 5th at worst to start the year. After that, it will all be performance based.
  22. Jays24
    Guy stayed on her for a loonnnggg time loll
  23. Jays24
    JRam + prospects for Kirk is the offer right now.
  24. Jays24
    Ultimately Ray and Semien left for the biggest pay day just like most 1 year players would do regardless of the "environment" you've created. 1 year trades make sense when you're at the end of your contending window or truly feel that player puts you over the top. I just felt there were ways to mitigate of having to give up a comp pick for a 1 year deal like going after Miller/Pederson harder. Especially when we're already stuck with Grichuk for the 4th OF role.
  25. Jays24
    Conforto would be great but I just couldn't see our management giving up a comp pick for 1 year of him. Just doesnt seem like great asset management unless you hope to keep Conforto for the long haul. We could have been more aggressive with Pederson/Miller if we were that interested in a 1 year deal for a lefty OFer. And just because we have those picks means you get rid of them. We have made some trades that have slowly takem away from our farm system and probably plan to do more trades doing the same in the future (maybe Ramirez, etc.).
