I wonder if we will start hearing more about any potential negotiations with Vladdy only after the WS ends? We don't know if any discussions even started between the Jays and Vladdy's reps.

So who is everyone cheering for in the World Series? I can't cheer for the Yanks, and I hate the Dodgers for that obsecen Ohtani deal, but I'm cheering for Teoscar Hernandez.
He was discarded by the Jays, who have missed his power dearly. I hope he hits some big homers and becomes the World Series MVP.

David Popkins is the new hitting coach. I don't know enough about him to care too much one way or the other. He was the hitting coach for Minnesota the last three years, and they were a solid offensive team despite a ridiculous number of injuries.
I would have liked to see more responsibility to Hague and Edwin, but hopefully they're both still around next year. We needed to see change, and at least we're getting that.

I don't think it's the hitting coach position that's the issue, it's more so the organization's philosophy on hitting (i.e., power and home runs are a low hanging fruit).
Biggest claim to fame for Popkins is Royce Lewis said he was ignoring his advice when he came back and went on that heater after his ACL injury in 2023.
Stat wise though he had the twins looking okay-ish

So maybe what this team needs is just to ignore advice and do their own thing or do the opposite. Following the advice of Guillermo, and Donny has not worked so good. Half kidding.

Do you think Ross Atkins should have re-signed Samsonov?I know its early, but, Samsonov 2-0-1, 1.93 GAA , 9.43 SV%
Why the turnaround? Different system?,
better defense? Strange the improvement from the previous year. Probably he forgot how to swim.

Parity is huge as ever in MLB right now. Lots of teams will have big droughts like this. Hell, even for the Yankees their 15 years between WS appearances was unheard of for them. How many teams have significant droughts without winning a playoff game? Several. Us included.

I mean Goro is a hilarious character, being able to slip into any "funny" role so it'll be fun to see him get time to shine in the spotlight.
