Blue Jays Discussion: Spring Training Discussion: Countdown to the Season (Thursday at 3pm ET/noon PT)

[MK78]

Looks like the Jays are spanking back.

yeah fell a run short.

IKF isnt the best signing but Soler has to be #1 for me. Bader at $10.5M putting up 0.6 WAR and Severino at $13M putting -1.5 WAR seem worse to me. Or Giolito at $39.5M coming off back to back near 5 ERA seasons and is already out for the season. These all seem worse

Duvell getting $3M and Bader getting $10.5M and Soler getting $42M at different points in the offseason should tell these GMs and writers what they already know, markets shift.

Soler: 1.8 WAR signed February 18th
Duvell: 1.6 WAR signed March 14th
Bader: 0.6 WAR signed January 5th

As mad as some Jays fans are that you paid IKF $7.5M per year when guys like Urshela and Rosario got $1.5M, i would be furious to see my Giants spend $14M on Soler when you could have had Duvell for $3M. or when Michael A Taylor signs for $3M or less, Mets fans shouldnt be happy seeing Bader at $10.5M.

Kinda lame that the prospect-heavy game isn't on broadly-available TV (It's on MLB Network but I can't get that. So I have to hope that the stream on MLB.com isn't garbage quality)

If you're a TV subscriber to Sportsnet, it's available on Sportsnet+, you just need to login with the credentials for your TV provider.

All of our prospects suck. Fold the team.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh for cripes' sake.

Why would anyone want to watch the Jays prospects hit, including 1st rounder Nimmala when we could listen to some prospects guy talk about random crap?

 

[The Nemesis]

YES switched the broadcast of the game over to their app and so MLB and Sportsnet now are showing Nets pre-game instead.

What a great and not at all poorly managed system this is.

I'm not sure where I saw this, but apparently the initial projection is about 2 weeks, which seems like great news.

I was thinking the fact that they said he’s likely not ready for opening day that it couldn’t be too long a stretch

Of course Votto is playing in the game that's not on TV

 

[jetsforever]

Votto HR in his first at bat!

 

[red devil]

 

[Bjindaho]

Heck of an outing from Yariel for a first outing

[The Nemesis]

Hazel just said on the other broadcast that he rolled his ankle in the dugout after the inning and is now day-to-day.

Shut the season down now. It's over.

Vogelbach probably put it there on purpose to safeguard his roster spot

Mitch White making a strong case to be in the pen. Which is good because he's out of options.

Maybe Gerrit Cole was right about Vogelbach

 

[canucksfan]

Liking the pull power from Springer!

 

[Danko]

No idea how that JV Shot was called a Home Run. It hit the fence.

Bounced off the top of the fence above the yellow line.

 

[The Nemesis]

Clement with a HR. He damn well better make the team.
