Flop has been hitting for a good while now. Like I said in March this team would only compete for 85-87 wins and WC spot if Bo was getting MVP votes.
The season is at the half way point, you are definitely a glass half empty person,

The new title should be.
2024 The Year of The Dumpster Fire.
They're just not good enough to make noise, even if they squeeze in the WC, we're not getting out of round 2.
We want a pennant, not just mediocrity. Things need to change man, big god damn changes.

He had 7 HRS prior last series. That’s absolutley pathetic.
Nah just realistic.

I think it was pretty obvious at the end of the offseason that this team was closer to being a basement dweller of the AL East than a contender. I’m not disappointed at all, this was 100% expected. Garbage team.

Superstar Dalton Varsho back down to earth with a 93WRC+. Still better than last year's 85, so there's that.

Toronto currently with the 5th pick in the 2025 draft (pre-lottery).
5. RHP TYLER BREMNER, UC SANTA BARBARA
HEIGHT: 6’2
WEIGHT: 180
B/T: R/R
HOMETOWN: SAN DIEGO, CA
Highly projectable, super athletic, burgeoning stuff. That's the menu for Bremner, who turned in a stellar sophomore campaign in the Big West, striking out 104 batters and walking just 21 in 88.2 innings. His stuff took a big jump during the pre-season, with his fastball sitting in the mid-90s with significant carry up in the zone. He should be throwing in the upper-90s more consistently in due time, as he’s already touched 98 MPH this summer. His slider took a huge step forward after struggling his freshman year, jumping into the mid-80s consistently with late bite and sweep. The change-up is unique with high spin traits, though he shows a ton of confidence in the pitch and it dives hard to the dirt in the low-80s, acting almost like a screwball. It projects as a double-plus offering. Let’s not forget that Bremner commands the zone really well. There’s potential for three above-average or better pitches with above-average command. He’s our SP1 right now for that reason.
6. LHP JAMIE ARNOLD, FLORIDA STATE
HEIGHT: 6’1
WEIGHT: 191
B/T: L/L
HOMETOWN: TAMPA, FL
After a rough freshman campaign in Tallahassee, Arnold exploded onto the draft scene in 2024, striking out 159 batters in 105.2 innings to the tune of a 2.98 ERA. Arnold generates a ton of scap retraction in his delivery, but he's on time with his arm and he creates a tough angle to the plate with a slingy release. His fastball rarely cracked 90 MPH in 2023, but he's now into the mid-90s with a very low release height and a flat approach angle that has allowed the heater to miss bats aplenty. His mid-80s slider can be downright diabolical, flashing late bite and sweep. It tunnels well off the heater and he's shown an ability to backfoot it to righties consistently. His change-up lags behind the one-two punch, thrown roughly 4% of the time in 2024 with slight fading life and will need more development in 2025. He'll need more of a tertiary offering to keep hitters off the FB/SL, but the whole package screams starter. He’ll be wildly popular in 2025.
