Hopefully we are not the willing someone.Your worth what someone's is willing to pay you.

They should already know he is a future Dodger at this point lolOrioles probably losing their mind knowing Henderson ask starts at 500m now (probably should start at 550m because hes better than Vladdy)
Hopefully this gives him peace of mind to just play and produce
Well, I'm happy he's not gonna play for the Red Sox or the Yankees and possibly torment us for another decade+, but I think this contract will age very badly, but who knows what the payrolls will be in 10+ years.
Anyway, I'm glad they did it because maybe it just frees him up to start raking, and that this franchise doesn't look like a joke not being able to sign anybody, and this might hopefully attract others to get overpaid lol.
This probably almost guarantees that Bichette goes to free agency and signs elsewhere, i don't imagine they will sign him to 200-300M deal that he probably wants.
It has to be said, this deal does not make the team better! it just doesn't make them worse.
I think they are going to work hard to get Bo done as well. I think they’ve realized no one is coming to save the franchise. You have to invest in your homegrown guys and hope that odd free agent will want to sign here.
Total panic move by Shatkins after getting swept this weekend.
They saw the future attendance analytic numbers dropping like flies and had mo choice but to give Vladdy what he wanted.
Unsure how or why this would be deemed a bad thing...
This was reported as being nearly done before the Mets series. A contract this big doesn’t happen in 2 days.
Fandom in 2025 is bizarre and a huge percentage of fans would rather spend 5 years trying to finish last on purpose than be a competitive team that isn’t in the top 3 favourites for a championship. It’s f***ed.
Yeah, I get that it's a necessity to some extent with an owner that won't spend much and relies on cheap young talent and cycles of draft/develop and tear down/rebuild. But if ownership is willing to spend big money to keep those young players past free agency and build around them, then tearing it all down every few years shouldn't be necessary.This was reported as being nearly done before the Mets series.

If the Jays can re-sign Bo, their holes for next year are:
2 SP
RP
that's really it. Their LF position right now will be the same (Roden/Loperfido/Clase plus Springer/Santander). 3B is the same (with Orelvis and Barger as candidates).
For the SPs, Manoah is coming back later this year, so we will see if he looks like ST Manoah last year (which was awesome) or not. There's still money in the budget to sign a SP if need be. Bloss will hopefully figure things out as well.
For RP, there are a few interesting guys at AAA now.
Hopefully Tiedemann and Macko can have some kind of impact on the rotation, too.If the Jays can re-sign Bo, their holes for next year are:

But the pending free agents in the rotation make a lot of money. So there will be money to sign one or two FA SP.I hope Manoah can resurrect his career, but he is more likely to end up being a relief pitcher.
My point was more about the idea that the "promise" that the FO made about being able to fill holes from within appears to be close to being possible (we have more prospects than spots at each position, so not only can the Jays have competition, but they could force guys into lesser roles or become trade chips).Hopefully Tiedemann and Macko can have some kind of impact on the rotation, too.
IMO, they still need to add a bat unless Roden/Barber/Orelevis add a huge thump to the line up.If the Jays can re-sign Bo, their holes for next year are:

Oh yeah, I agree with you. I just think Tiedemann and Macko could be a big part of that as well, either late this season or by being ready in 2026.My point was more about the idea that the "promise" that the FO made about being able to fill holes from within appears to be close to being possible (we have more prospects than spots at each position, so not only can the Jays have competition, but they could force guys into lesser roles or become trade chips).
That is true, plus Bo has already been exposed to traveling over the border for years, so it's likely not a big deal to him. Let's hope they don't play games with him and start negotiating now that they're done with junior.I think they are going to work hard to get Bo done as well. I think they’ve realized no one is coming to save the franchise. You have to invest in your homegrown guys and hope that odd free agent will want to sign here.
You can't fix stupid and dumb money is everywhere around us right now.He'll be 40 by the end of the deal?
Ovechkin time for him to track down Bonds!
