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

[EpochLink]

Bregman gonna get signed to a massive deal. I’m scared about what they’re gonna offer Pivetta too.

Bregman will want his retirement contract, Jays about to panic sign him so to appeal the fanbase.

 

[shaner8989]

But we got Myles Straw? Lmao f***ing losers.

 

[Amadeus]

Im pretty much done with this team. We the butt end of jokes, never expected that!

 

[shortfuze]

Admit it guys, deep down you knew this was going to be the result. Shame on me for believing this FO knows wtf they’re doing.

So they’ve acquired some good players over the years but the last 2 years they’ve struck out on the top players and now they don’t know what they’re doing? Jeez man. Bunch of whiners on this site. Like every league it’s all hit and miss. They’ve made mistakes but made some good moves. Regardless of out come.

It’s hilarious that management has basically quadrupled down on their defense first strategy to the point where they’re now extremely desperate for any offense.

 

[mikeyz]

Until the Jays actually sign him I am not getting my hopes up.

I’m starting to get my hopes up here…

My condolences. LMFAO

 

[GoonieFace]

As much as I hate these clowns, every other 30 teams in baseball didn’t get Sasaki or Soto either.

Now trading for Myles Straw is next level dumb

Well after KK retired we should have known they’d want another elite defensive OF starting who can’t hit. We were fools to think they might enter the season with only 1 of them.

My condolences. LMFAO

I should have known better

 

[Gabriel426]

They really should just give up on getting Japaenese players coming from Japan. As there is no way, Dodgers don’t have the upper hand.

 

[mikeyz]

I swear to God that there has to be a 30 for 30 special on Shatkins over what has transpired just in the last offseason and a half alone.

You seriously cannot make this up. LOL

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

The entire MLB is trolling the Jays at this point. Teams, players and agents.

It's embarrassing.

Other teams have made improvements tho, or at least won playoff games in the last 5 years. Missing out on these two guys isn’t what is causing this much outrage by itself

Big Japanese community there, Los Angeles has been a hub for Japanese people for generations, particularly in Little Tokyo and Boyle Heights.

I’m not absolving these guys at all, but believe it or not, Toronto is still a desirable destination. Unfortunately the Dodgers are in the MLB.

These two clowns have completely messed this whole situation up though, especially with Vlad and Bo

 

[Kurtz]

The problem for me is that Shatkins are just behaving completely illogically. You can point to other GMs dealing away prospects that turn into studs years later and call that a bad move in retrospect - but at the time those deals are made it's usually a logical gamble where the prospects just end up developing better than the GM would have assumed.

But Shatkins are consistently, repeatedly making moves that are immediately illogical. There's no judgement passed using hindsight here - these are just obviously and irrevokably dumb moves that can only be made by dumb people.

 

[matand]

Well rip got my hopes up for nothing I'll read everything again in a few days will be interesting to see what they jays have to say tonight or in next few days

 

[Ale Brew]

BNS and Shi suggesting we’re moving close to a deal with Santander.

 

[Blitzkrug]

It's even more hilarious when you realize Shatkins made the trade with the logic they would be okay with Straw regardless.

Shoot them both into the nearest black hole. Might be the first time in the history of the universe where a black hole rejects consuming something.

California is very attractive to Asian people due to the weather

Giving a choice no sane Asian would go to Canada

 

[Gabriel426]

O

On top of that, these players are visiting different Cities now. What is the weather like in Toronto?
Unless the Jays is winning, it is a hard sell to players with choices.

Sure let's fool ourselves into thinking that's all we need to contend and then hold onto Vlad and Bichette for comp picks.

That applies to anyone.

I am not a sun and beach guy but I would take that over -9 with snow all over.

Lmao and you think they know what they’re doing by going for every free agent they realistically have no shot of getting? Come on man, we’re the laughing stock of the league.

Whatever man this team can’t win me over

They made us a joke
