Blue Jays/MLB 2024

According to reports, the Yankees offered 760 mill, and the Mets bumped their offer to 765 mill AND box seats for the entire Soto family. Yankees declined on the box seats. Apparently that was the tippler. Maybe they wanted to save them for Marcus Stroman's relatives.

The Jays are such a joke of a franchise, they have an entire country of about 40 million to themselves, that's a pretty big audience. They should absolutely be a major player in free agency, maybe not for the generational guys, like Ohtani and Soto, but for sure for the next level. They have plenty of money, and should be willing to spend to get the guys they want and need. But, for some reason, they seem fine with being a mediocre team with mediocre results. The fact that Atkins and Shapiro are still in charge of a team after their lack of success over the last few years is laughable. Can anyone really see the Jays having a good offseason?

so they moved Horiwitz for Gimenez. basically the same age. I think Horiwtitz is the better hitter, he is fairly unproven, but the guy does have talent. Gimenez is the more valuable defensive player, gold glove at 2nd base. I thought Wagner looked good at 2nd, and looked good at the plate as well. Not sure if I like this deal, only time will tell.

also, some of those young guys seemed to be really close and have a connection (Horowitz, Barger, Clemet, Schneider). I don't like breaking that up before we see that they could do together.

The "respect in the handshake line" of free agency.

Banner is already up.

He’s trying to prep people for another shitty off-season.

Fans knew it was going to be another shitty off-season when he didn’t get fired in October.

He's a good player, but the Yankees dodged a bullet with that contract, its ridiculous.

Aah, the Blue Jays version of respectful handshakes in the line.
