I know why, obviously, but any top Blue Jays of all-time without Alomar will always look weird to me

Haven't been following closely but I hear Bieber, Berrios, and Yesavage are starting the year on the IL. So who does that leave in the rotation? Gausman, Cease, Ponce, Lauer, and...? Is Scherzer ready to go?

Okamoto doesn't like baseball?

Springer didn't even get comeback player of the year in the AL haha

Too bad we couldn't get him that ring.

Might I suggest Lineup 4: Springer Barger (L) Guerrero Bichette Varsho (L) Kirk Lukes (L) Clement Gimenez (L)

Carpenter is taking Castillo deep here.

The AL really is awful this year.

Not including Carpenter, the Tigers are 3-40 tonight.

Obviously a healthy-ish Bo makes the roster. And I think you add one of Bassitt or Scherzer, but probably not both. I don't think there's room for five starters. So probably Bo and Bassitt in. I would love to drop IKF but I don't think you can if Bo isn't ready to play in the field. Heinemann obviously has to stay, Straw has proven himself to be too valuable as a defensive replacement and a fantastic baserunner, and Schneider has been great, too. Bruihl is the obvious first cut, and then it likely comes down to Santander vs. Nance.

Lots of pinch hitting options today. Barger, Santander, Lukes.

Wow. You just know he'll end up in our division and will just be hyper focused on sticking it to us at any cost.

The only saving grace will be if we can hang on to the #1 seed, we'll play the winner of #4 (likely the Yankees) and #5. So if we're playing the Yankees, we'll definitely get some premium time slots. MLB's love of New York surpasses even their indifference/dislike of Toronto.

Buehrle?

Did Ross specifically say they're gonna try Varland as a starter next year, or are we just assuming?
