Atkins speaking alongside Shapiro unfortunately suggests that he will be back again next season.

Unless he decides to take some time to think about things and then tries to renegotiate a contract extension.

I can't believe it. What does he see in Atkins? I get Shapiro like continuity but Atkins totally sucks at his job.

This might be the best regular season game of all time.

Braves up 3-0 in the top of the 8th.
Mets score 6
Mets up 6-3 in the bottom of the 8th.
Braves score 4.
Braves up 7-6 in the top of the 9th.
Mets score 2 off a Lindor 2 run shot.
Mets up 8-7 in the bottom of the 9th.

Guillermo Martinez is finally unemployed. Goodbye and good riddance.

Mattingly is the real problem

Mattingly is the real problem

This post implies that Guillermo wasn't also a big problem. I will half agree, that Mattingly is the biggest problem, not the real (implied only) problem.

There really should be a proper house cleaning of assistant coaches.

Ross Atkins needs to be fired. The guy has no playoff success to show for and is notoriously known for being a runner up for every free agency signing there is.

Oh and he's managed his team to an extremely sub par farm system, and not had a single hitter promote that he drafted and developed outside of Bo Bichette who was a Bryan Parker pick, not him.

I want him gone too, but he signed Ryu, Springer, and Gausman, all of whom were among the best free agents available at the time.

If this is their leadoff hitter plan for 2025, why didn't they test it ever and continue to spam washed Springer at leadoff? I don't think we ever saw Wagner there.

Obviously, offseason for the Jays just started but

Wagner
Bo
Vladdy
Bat
Horwitz
Kirk
Springer
Clement
Varsho

Backup C
Jiminez
Loperfido
?????

I still would want another bat not including the one I have after Vladdy. Wouldn't surprise me if Orelvis is used at some point next season to hit lefties. He demolishes them.

Now do Mattingly.

I'm torn on Martinez. He was here for a lot of really positive performances from the team and a lot of individual breakouts. I don't think he's a bad hitting coach, maybe just not the right one for the team anymore.

Mattingly's time with the Jays is all negatives. Get rid of them both and give more responsibility to Hague and Edwin.
