MLB 2025

That was a depressing wild card playoff series. Didn't even get a run.

Blue Jays FAQ: Uncomfortable decisions need to be made after early playoff exit

The pitching change may be the most polarizing in-game decision ever made in franchise history and the fall-out from it, both internally and within the toxic-fire-discourse externally, certainly qualifies as a ring-the-alarm Blue Jays emergency. To unpack it all, it’s FAQ time, based on the...

just awful. between that, letting vladdy get fat, and whatever the hell happened with alek manoah, the whole organization should be restructured.

unlike other clubs, the biggest fear is them doing nothing major to fix this shit.

Guerrero has been offensively average for 2 seasons while turning into a good first baseman

Who really knows about Manoah. Probably some psych issues involved.
 
What's our chances at signing Ohtani? I was at a dinner on Wednesday and flipping through Twitter and people here seem psyched. I was listening to the radio and they said we are long shots and being used as leverage for his other negotiations.
 
If he doesn't survive till year 10, he forfeits the 680? There has to be clauses that protects the player.
 
Did the Jays sign Joey Votto to put him on the roster? I thought it was to give him fitness & conditioning and a chance to catch on with another team.

he was signed as a non-roster invite because he wants to play and the Jays want to give him a shot because of the huge upside. he chose the Jays; they were not his only option. Both sides agree that it is not for his bat but for how he can mentor others how to use their bats better. If all goes well, the Jays have repatriated a could-be HOFer, league icon and Canada's best MLB player after Larry Walker and above Ferguson Jenkins. What a story! There will be a film or mini-series and CBC will have nothing to do with it.

Put in FwiffSpeak: I was shopping in a posh shop in a posh neighbourhood when a posh chap remarked to me in an annoyingly posh way, "have you heard the news, our home town nine has signed Votto? Such possibilities, what?" I told him the I had already heard the news and I just assumed it was a pity signing to have him do cardio because he is fat and slow. I deftly side-skirted the homeless man's vomit pool but did not warn the annoying chap. why doesn't the city just allow citizens to set them ablaze at will unless they can provide me with a passable aria of their choosing. I suppose I would blow out the match for some Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

I only heard about him when I went to Cincinnati in the 2010s and my company invited me to a baseball game. People kept telling me he's from Toronto.

If he was really patriotic he could have pushed to sign with the Jays during the veterans/Bautista run in the 2010s but it sounds like money was more important to him.

I'm just surprised they signed an older player because since Montoyo they seem like they want to go cheaper and with more Hispanic players.

sounds like MLB provided incentives to make it happen. He was making $430K a year and the robot umpires don't come in until '25 so he could have sucked up one more year before the old CBA expires. I think his pension is close to $100K per year

They sued him previously so likely it was just a helpful push out of the door.
 
Los Angeles will now appear in its fourth World Series since 2017. The Dodgers are 1-2 in their three most recent appearances. They lost in 2017 and 2018 and won in 2020 during the pandemic-shortened season.

.. Also Otani's first.
 
of course the Yankees won. This organization is the Turkish ice cream vendor of baseball.

Now THIS is the Yankees team I expected.

Now nobody will be fired and all the same assholes will be back and it’ll be the same shit for years to come.
 
I went to bed after they said Yankees were up first innings.

Blue Jays fans will gladly take this sh%T.

Why was Ohtani coveted by AL teams? Wouldn't that negate his offensive capabilities?

I attend one baseball game a year except this past season. I choose Jays vs. Tampa because there aren't any travelling fans (Yankees, Red Sox, lesser extent Orioles) so the stadium is always empty, prices are lower and I get my choice of seats.
 

Blue Jays add some punch acquiring free agent Anthony Santander on a five-year deal​

Former Baltimore Orioles slugger instantly adds an impact bat to beleaguered lineup for $92.5 million over five seasons.


We're contenders now!...
 
this did not age well given that the BJs failed to reach an agreement with Vladdie by the deadline and he says he is going to free agency.
