Blue Jays Discussion: Off-season discussion: Two signings. Rinse, Repeat add 1.

[Dr.Funk]

Heavily deferred it's all for show he apparently suggested the deferral. Can't wait to see actual contract.

He's gonna be dead and the Dodgers will still be paying his family.

 

[Killer Orcas]

He's gonna be dead and the Dodgers will still be paying his family.

The Bobby Bonilla special then times 100.

 

[Stephen]

I wonder if he could have asked for the $700 million up front... factor in taxes and the interest...

 

[Blitzkrug]

He's gonna be dead and the Dodgers will still be paying his family.

All a ploy to get them the exclusive rights to Shohei Ohtani II and III

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why did the Dodgers have to go up to 700 Mil anyway? Why couldn't they tell him go to Toronto then or Cubs or whoever else. If they knew that LA was his first choice. They are not that dumb, are they? They got played too.

 

[Woodman19]

One plus, management now can go out and get other players.

Like who? FA is dogshit for bats.

 

[Kurtz]

Probably optics and trying to sell tickets. Despite being the best player of the generation he has negative trade value now. With his health, that contract is an anchor.

Exactly. But they're not going to sell tickets now, Trout or not. You don't miss the playoffs every year and then lose Ohtani and still have fans return. They have no team and no farm. Their only reasonable course now is to move Trout, wait out the remaining 3 years of that Rendon contract and rebuild.

For the Jays, between moving Trout to LF and our medical team, we have a shot at keeping him healthy and the big-name superstar to cleanse us of being the dissappointing joke that we are at this moment.

 

[MK78]

Oh well i dont have to eat my hat... Shatkins gonna really feel the hate now.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Alright was fun now time to pivot to Yamamota and or Sasaki if he does get posted. Then we look at LF and 3B and consider bring back Hicks.

 

[Zero1]

Alright whatever, let’s move on. The Jays proved that they are a big market team which I’m happy about.

Let’s use that Ohtani money to make this team better.

 

[1specter]

f*** Ohtani and LA

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

 

[MK78]

You know, i'm glad. 10 years and $700M that's just nucking futs. Can you imagine the scrutiny if he ever gets injured or sucks, let that be on the Dodgers.

 

[ER89]

f*** this dude

 

[Woodman19]

Alright whatever, let’s move on. The Jays proved that they are a big market team which I’m happy about.

Let’s use that Ohtani money to make this team better.

the "Ohtani" money is in LA, where the Dodgers are going to recoup hundreds of millions of it via the revenue sources he brings. We dont have that kind of money to throw at a shitty FA market for offense.

 

[mikeyz]

Was this before or after they lost Ohtani?

Why would they keep him now?

Before but I still don‘t think he’s going anywhere

 

[Gabriel426]

As mentioned earlier today, I said it will be closer to 700mil. Just thought Rogers would pay that.

 

[Schennanigans]

700 million. God damn lol.

 

[mikeyz]

What a sad, pathetic bunch of gullible morons we all are. I almost believed the hype for a second but knew it was much too fantastical to believe. What an embarrassment we all are

Well everyone thought Morosi was a credible source. Plus Sports net did pivot the Kypreos and Bourne show and asked Blair and Barker to do an inpromptu show yesterday. So I don‘t think any of us were gullible.

 

[MK78]

As mentioned earlier today, I said it will be closer to 700mil. Just thought Rogers would pay that.

I think its was more about staying on the West Coast. Jays would have probably have to overpay by $100M+. which would be insane.

Oh well it was a fun fairy tale when it lasted...

Now though, Vladdy & Bo are gonna knock on Shatkins door, hey you were gonna give that guy money, where's some for us.

 

[mikeyz]

Oh well i dont have to eat my hat... Shatkins gonna really feel the hate now.

Ohhhhh buddy, it’s going to be bad now.

This is basically going to be the Berrios 3rd inning decision on steroids. Lol.

 

[Gabriel426]

Wait for next season when Soto is going to do the same thing.
At this point, we just need to accept that unless Jays massively overpaid, true top players won’t come.
Let’s all remember this for next season with Soto

 

[Burnie97]

That is absolutely nutty. You could feed a small country for years with that money.

Crazy. I know he's a great ball player but holy f***.

 

[Woodman19]

I think its was more about staying on the West Coast. Jays would have probably have to overpay by $100M+. which would be insane.

Now though, Vladdy & Bo are gonna knock on Shatkins door, hey you were gonna give that guy money, where's some for us.

If Vladdy wants a big contract I suggest he hits more than a .788 OPS as a 1B.

 

[Anthrax442]

Dear Shohei,

If Vladdy wants a big contract I suggest he hits more than a .788 OPS as a 1B.

Also do the team laundry, cook and fly the plane.
