Pain

Dude sucks anyways.

 

[Habsfan18]

This isn’t going to go over well.

 

[Discoverer]

 

[Puckstuff]

Honestly, glad this is over.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

At the end of the day, he signed with the 2nd largest market in the league and a top tier franchise

The sad part is that despite being willing to spend half a billion dollars on Shohei, the Jays likely won't spend a fraction of that to bring in multiple, other good players.

Most ridiculous contract I've ever seen. Let alone for a DH.

 

[Bonham]

f*** Hoornstra, f*** everything.

What a ridiculous 24 hours.

 

[Amadeus]

Guess it was the money and allure of LA in the end.

Carry on guys.

 

[Petey O]

My condolences to the more hardcore/regular fans of the Jays.

As a casual Jays fan, I'm disappointed, but I couldn't imagine being really invested in this and losing out in this way.

 

[trellaine201]

$700M wow. I think way more than initially thought.

 

[3blizzard4]

What about the Tokyo guys who posted here at 1am about the jet coming to Toronto? LMAO!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Anyway, after Leonard and now this, I’m never getting involved with a “star watch” ever again. It’s embarrassing to have thousands of people tracking flights only to have the rug pulled out from under us at the last moment. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

And Soto has been traded to the Yankees. Jays left standing with their dicks in the wind. Fantastic.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

 

[BertCorbeau]

That sucks.. at least he goes to the NL.

That’s a big contact and I have concerns about his pitching status once he gets healthy though

They do say sometimes the best deals are the ones you don’t make! That’s a huge committment imo.

 

[Eyedea]

Didn’t expect it to hit $700 million, but what can you do. Jays would’ve legitimately had to pay up a billion CAD.

 

[Bjindaho]

I can't even fathom that kind of money. Rogers wasn't topping that under any conditions.

 

[Stephen]

$700M wow. I think way more than initially thought.

I'm guessing they used yesterday's shenanigans to extract another $100 million out of the LA Dodgers, feigning Toronto. Letting it leak he might be on the outs and when the Dodgers came back to the table with more money they hit pause on the Toronto angle.

It's too bad it had to be the Blue Jays playing the role of decoy.

This city needs to get its sports scene dignity back in a bad way.

I guess 200 million for Bellinger is next.

 

[Dr.Funk]

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

A billion Canadian. Astronomical.

 

[3blizzard4]

Positive out of this is that no more Blair and Barker until spring training.

 

[Amadeus]

That's tough but I guess you can still improve the team.

 

[Petey O]

Hopefully they paid that much because the Jays pushed the Dodgers to desperate measures.
