Serious Dexter vibes, he's kinda a combination of Dexter meets Martha Stewart ....



It is insane to think that even if they add Bregman and Alonzo, they might not even be a 90 win team. they wont add both, so is the signing only about getting buts in seats to watch the Scherzer show? After all they do have a newly renovated park and need to pay the bills so maybe ....

The road to 85+ wins goes through the SS, imo. If he’s back to being himself they have a chance.

That’s true for 80 % of the league though especially if a team loses lose one or two of their top players.

There are many factors that contribute to sub-500 seasons.

If you check the exchange rate on that we are spending around 380m canadian and they are willing to spend more this does not include the luxury tax no matter how you look at we will be spending more then any team on the league
If we sign alonso or bring in other players we can see the jays spend around 600m canadian wich is crazy

Not if you look at it from a math point of view.

Yet, they still might not win 81 games.

If you take last year's team and just fix the bullpen, they're a .500 team. Get Bo back to normal and they're easily in the mid-80s. Now they've added Santander and Scherzer.

Like literally every team in the league, things may go poorly and they may not meet expectations. But this team is set up well enough that they should be able to win at least 85-90 games.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

I am excited about the veteran pitching staff pushing each other, working together, bouncing ideas off each other.
