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

[Rude Dog]

Give the 250 over 7 years to a guy who can make a difference. AA

But you aren’t saying it isn’t a possibility……

I’ll think about it if we get Burnes. And I said Burnes not Boo-urns.

Well didn't Shatkins say the other day they were interested or something along those lines with bringing Teo back. The big question is would Teo even bother coming back, because he told Hazel Mae don't expect a reunion, so I have a hard time believing he will, but it would help, and maybe help someone like Vlad to stay as well. It's Atkins last year of his contract so he should try everything he can imo, but I just don't trust him.

To be fair when did he make that statement? If he was still under contract he can't say that he would consider it.

I think it was someone from baseball America who stated Jays drafting was more of an issue than their development.


Still would like another bat with this lineup.

Our drafting is an issue for sure. They been absolutely awful drafting

They were willing to spend 700 million on Soto, Edward Rogers even went to the meeting.

So we’re suppose to believe there’s a special budget for Soto to spend 700 but not Burnes and Santander or something similar!? There’s no way.

These guys better pay up. All in rogers, let’s go

Sure but that contract amounts to 45 million a year. So Burnes would be like 80% of those allocated dollars

Who is supposed to be our closer right now?

 

[jetsforever]

Pretty exciting that we, uh, might sign Burnes!

 

[Scotianhab]

Bassitt could be traded if we sign Burnes. I still think Bo could be traded as well.

 

[aingefan]

Pretty soon, we’ll be at the ‘mystery box’ class of offensive free agents.

If we get lucky, it might even be a bat.

I’ll show myself out.
