It's been like two weeks of hype, ending with yesterday's mania of chasing airplanes. This whole time Roger has been playing us all like a fiddle, adding fuel to the fire, acting like they are actually in on it.
really think Jays went to 600mil or a bit more and forced Dodgers to spend 700mil. That’s 150mil more than expected.
Only a true idiot would pile on the hate. $700 million and they Jays were in it until the end? Hello!!!
See? Point proven right away...
Soto is a bit different. Obviously he will still chase the money (Bora$) but I think Latin players like Toronto more than Japanese players. It will probably be an easier sell than Ohtani who seemed quite content on the west coast.
And here we have Chicken Little effect now, when literally no one went off the board but Soto.....who the Jays would have had to empty their farm for.
That’s what we said about Japanese players for the past weeks.
I want nothing to do with Bellinger. Trades look like a viable route to upgrade since there isnt much point in blowing a ton of money on pitching when its by far our greatest strength. As the playoffs showed, doesnt matter how well you pitch if you are going to allow 5 runs in 2 games and lose both games convincingly.
How can you say Canada would have been good for his private life if Toronto media is already stalking him before he even signs with the Blue Jays with all the plane-tracking nonsense?
Seems like they traded most of the good players away. We might have to wait a few years before they have more stock available.
Sid Sixeiro is probably the person I want to see discuss this chain of events the most.
There were thousands of people tracking a flight he wasn't even confirmed to be on and going nuts all over social media. How the hell would he have had any private life in Toronto?
How does he? He strikes out more than Chapman, walks less and brings 0 defense whatsoever.
