Yep, I said in past that Valenzuela should be the #1 catcher and we should consider trade Kirk for very good prospects. Obviously Valenzuela no a #1 catcher, but he's still an upgrade on Heinneman as backup for Kirk. The problem of Jays offense is no Valenzuela, but all the pinch hitters Atkins bring to be in the starting lineup. Sanches, Straw, Lukes, Springer are no good enough to be in starting lineup. Can say the same about Gimenez, but if we remove him in SS, the defense will be awful, and it's no so easy find a SS who can be good offensively and defensively. But to replace Jesus, Straw and Springer with better players shouldn't be difficult.

Bieber everyone excepted the duo Atkins/Shapiro know Bieber was cooked and still injured. Yesevage like all young pitchers top prospect in the Jays organisation, end up on the injuries list, so nothing we shouldn't have expected. I bet the next will be King, Perry and Carlon. Berrios with his bad attitude during the WS, almost all Jays fans wanted him to be traded before the beginning of the 2026 season. So the culprit is Atkins no have signed or acquiring a top 3 SP. Instead waiting forever for Tucker, he can have get a good SP and a good bullpen arms, even if signed Cease and Rogers.

He's more a Shitghetti now

Absolutely, just replace Sanchez, Gimenez, Vlad, Keys, with Bobby Witt Jr, Aaron Judge, Shoei Ohtani and Bryce Harper

I don't miss Varsho, but doesn't mean I want Arriguetti with the Jays next year. He need to be send in Buffalo.

No sure the Leaft are better than last year. They didn't replaced marner 100pts on the wing , Popovsky will disappoint and Leaf like the Oilers will need looking for a #1 goalie again. Also McKenna no ready to have an impact on the team yet, he's no Celebrini or Bedard, so he will need spend more time in Pennsylvania State till he be ready for NHL.

Sanchez should only be used as pinch hitter, otherwise he's useless.

Will be cool to win a wild card spot, but will be less when lose in the first round, and have Yesevage come back too early and miss plenty of games next year coz of injuries.

unfortunately this won't happen, JS still the manager

Spaghetti boiled again, and it's no al dente🤣 I understand why Houston trade him, another bad SP that shouldn't be with the team next year.

Hope they won't offer him a qualifying offer before free agency. We need get rid of him

Varsho vs Bateman, defensively they are both good. But offensively, Bateman is an upgrade to Varsho. Yes Bateman don't have power, but with his speed, number of single and all the BB he get, it's what Jays need for a leadoff hitter.

In school and minor leagues, he always had a good AVG, in MLB he can be a .275-.300+ AVG

He doesn't really need more power, he need to continue hit the ball like he do so far, but he need to use his speed a lot more often, so many single and BB, will become double.

This look like 3 loss, unless Scherzer still have the eyes of tiger. But Spag and Tail are cooked, they barely can reach the 4 inning.
