Freeman is not where close to signing in Toronto, they arent even on his radar. I doubt highly that the Jays did anything other than kick tires.

If I was a free agent and my primary position is taken up by a young caliber MVP type (Vladdy), I wouldnt be expecting a team like Toronto to be interested in signing me, nor for the dollars I am asking.

It contradicts the words spoken by many that Vladdy is the future and franchise, as a perennial gold glove at 1B and MVP aspirations.
 
I highly doubt the Jays have any intention on moving a 22 Year old runner up for the AL MVP award off his position for a 32 year old player who wouldn't really have a spot with us. I wonder why people connect us to him...

The only way Freeman to the Jays might make sense is a change in how the Jays use the DH spot. Instead of rotating all kinds of players through the slot, they essentially share 1B and DH between Vladdy and Freddie. Besides the Canadian angle, there is the talk that the Jays would like to add a big left-handed bat.

I understand what you are saying. But I dont see it. Adding a lefty bat in a position we need 2B or 3B makes more sense if possible. Not at a position where we have arguably the best player in the game.
 
the key to this rumour is baerga actually said "freddie fremmen" so its clearly a troll job.
well played baerga, well played
 
Baerga is right. No Canadian player has ever been an All Star while being a Blue Jays and that could change in 2022.

He's just trying to say that he expects Romano to be an All Star next year :sarcasm:

I agree, but its definitely a case where if Freeman wants to play here, you do it, and figure out the rest later. I'd also doubt the front office would do this without Vladdys blessing. Not that I'm buying this rumour.
