Now hopefully, the Jays can do some shit.

I have no faith in this management group!

 

[cyris]

I think we can all be stoked he’s out of the AL East

Yep best case scenario. He was never going to sign with us and now he is out of the division

 

[Thornbury]

Why would we assume that? They've shown themselves incapable of doing anything of significance for a couple of years now.

 

[jetsforever]

Would have been nice to get him but the Mets are by far the 2nd best option

Dude it isn’t management. Players like this don’t wanna come to Canada, not sure what else they could have done.

Now they need to invest that money into legit needs like bats and bullpen and getting Vladdy signed

 

[EpochLink]

What are the Jays gonna do now? Now that Soto is gone from the AL East, what are the Jays gonna do?

Sign some old ass 3rd basemen?

10 hidden wins here we come

Santander is probably there top target now

 

[Woodman19]

Oh my I'm shocked, the Jays were used as leverage lol

Sounds like it was more the Yanks.

 

[Eyedea]

15/765 is insane money.

 

[VanillaCoke]

NL atleast

 

[Vector]

Glad this was over with quickly. MLB offseason tens to be painfully slow this early flurry of meaningful activity should push organizations into action.

 

[canucksfan]

Now that he's gone, the Jays need two bats IMO and a new bullpen. A lot to do.

 

[Emerica]

Yep best case scenario. He was never going to sign with us and now he is out of the division

My thoughts as well. Did not allow myself to believe it was a realistic possibility after the Ohtani fiasco last year

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I was worried about him going to the Red Sox.

Good outcome since we had little chance of signing him. Hoping the Yankees take a huge step back now

 

[Kurtz]

Yankees are about to do some serious spending. I doubt their $760m offer came from a special super secret fund like ours did.

 

[HairyKneel]

They definitely put themselves in a tight spot.

They are idiots. They make JP Ricciardi look competent.,

 

[Woodman19]

Whos ready to overpay some injury prone old players out of desperation!

 

[Blitzkrug]

15/765 is insane money.

Goes up to as high as 800 with escalators.

Insanity.

 

[ER89]

Thank god. If it wasn't us the mets is great.

Let the dodgers and mets kill each other

 

[HairyKneel]

I sure hope they don’t blown their loads on Santander and company without having a Vladdy extension in place

Alonso or Goldschmidt for DH. Burnes, and either one of Arenado or Bohm for 3rd. Bully help is cheap. Teo or Antander on a 2 or 3gear deal for 50. Move it Dummies!

 

[canucksfan]

Jays signed Roger Clem’s to a four year forty million dollar contract in 97’ and that was considered huge at the time. Soto is making more than that in one year.
