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

Man, I miss seeing that guy's swing.

Mainstay on my diamond dynasty squad every year, regardless of how hard he is to obtain.

That swing is also probably the reason why i love baseball so much. Even as a 5 or 6 year old watching games with my dad, watching Griffey's swing triggered a "i'm not sure why yet, but that shit looks so cool" type of response.

He didn't have that raw power, but Olerud was my favourite player as a kid for the same reason. Just so smooth and effortless.

We could really use one of Roden, Wagner or Martinez breaking out.

The more the merrier.
Joey Loperfido is in that conversation too. Guy’s ceiling is probably 30hr-20+sb.

Ideally you'd just pay Vlad but if you're not doing that, you should trade now because this team has shown no signs that they are just one run away.

But there's no way in hell Shatkins should handle that trade. They shouldn't have even handled his negotiations.

When you think you have to fire a GM, you do it, nothing good has ever come from retaining someone a little longer that has you questioning their competence.

Nonsense.
