Blue Jays Discussion: 2024-25 Off-season: The free agent watch begins (and sometimes old baseball radio broadcasts)

[Woodman19]

I hearing bullshit.

 

[Discoverer]

Pretty sure we put an offer in on HyeSung Kim and not HaSung Kim, but yeah their profile is as similar as their names.

Signing both would be worth it just to hear Buck try to figure it out.

 

[Ale Brew]

Signing both would be worth it just to hear Back try to figure it out.

It would certainly fit Ross’s MO!

Yeah he was a gold glove winner in korea

 

[Puckstuff]

Get Santander and add 3 WAR in pitching and the season becomes worth watching. I mean, you at least have a chance if you add a power bat like Santander.

 

[mikeyz]

Well we may be getting Santandar for example.

He's not coming here. Keep dreaming. Lol

Post of the offseason

Sign both Santander and Bregman and then trade for Castillo and then maybe, just maybe this season can be saved.

Bichette

This won’t happen and even if it did it’s not enough. Next year Vladdy and Bo are gone, Berrios is opting out and we are stuck with mid players.

Fire Atkins and Shapiro before mistakes are made.

Still needs bullpen work, but that lineup/rotation are excellent.

It’s one and done is what I am saying. What’s the point. We aren’t beating the upper teams with that lineup.

It's too late for Shatkins, fire them and bring back Anthopoulos and start over.

Well. If they made those 3 moves, he's not wrong about the offseason being saved. But not even 1 of those 3 things are going to happen so it's a moot point.

I still think they would need 1 more power bat in the lineup. But that's a batting order I can get behind.

This is the type of lineup that you go into the season with. Add around the deadline to bolster the lineup.

I'd get behind that. Or even Pivetta.

I’d be shocked if they landed both Bregman and Santander but Santander and Castillo would be incredible. Maybe they can find another good pen arm via trade.

 

[canucksfan]

Castillo would likely cost more than he should. He wasn't great last year and might be on the start of a decline.

 

[aingefan]

Gone quiet again across MLB for FA….
I mean, there’s all kindsa fair criticism about the FO….but I don’t really see them setting a price and sticking with it (reported lots of times that they don’t wanna handcuff themselves by exceeding their price ranges) as really being one.
Still a few good starters, good handful of power bats (well maybe one finger dismembered) and other interesting players available.

[mikeyz]

Yeah. And I am going to wake up tomorrow morning with Giorgia Palmas in my bed.

 

[shortfuze]

Just out of curiosity what did AA do that was so good for the jays?got them to the playoffs after 6 years and depleting the farm system.

 

[Discoverer]

Yeah. And I am going to wake up tomorrow morning with Giorgia Palmas in my bed.

No idea who this guy is, but I'm guessing he isn't particularly reputable since this was posted 24 hours ago and no one is even talking about it.

Hahahahaha yeah I just noticed that he posted this yesterday and I was going to edit my post mentioning it LOL

 

[Hellcat]

Yer setting your standards too low.

 

[mikeyz]

You don't think she's good looking???

I also don't think it's a fluke that he posted this (and a second tweet that he heard the 4/82 number) 10-15 minutes after Hector Gomez first reported the 4/82 offer.

I could be wrong since, like I said, I have no idea who this guy is. But this sure seems like a guy jumping on publicly available sources to try to make it sound like he has insider info.
