Took 2 of 3 from the Yankees. 1.0 game back of the Wildcard (currently Baltimore). Jays really have a pretty solid opportunity here. 3 against Tampa at the Trop......eesh 3 at Yankees Stadium Then it's basically a battle of bad teams the rest of the way. Royals (Home), Mariners (Home)...

Not really. Hope (25th on MLB top 100) vs. Nimmala (43rd). Skubal is ultimately still a rental whereas Soriano has 2.5 years of control left. The Dodgers easily got a far better pitcher but factoring in team control I think this is fine. I will say that while I'm lukewarm on the overall...

And the Jays have also made acquisitions. The offense is just not good enough this year. They added Jameson Taillon who has been downright bad this year but provides stopgap starting for the rest of the year. They made a much bigger trade for Jose Soriano from the Angels for Arjun Nimmala...

I think it's pretty clear that Haley being a part time employee was why they split from each other. I don't think there is any "irony" there Steve.

See everyone in 2028. This is going to be a long lockout. The Dodgers acquire Skubal for their 5th, 7th and 27th best prospects. Arguable the best pitcher in baseball doesn't even get the Dodgers top prospect. Their luxury tax bill is the 14th highest payroll in baseball

Barger shut down for the year and Kiley having Tommy John. Our medical stuff is certainly suspect. Conservative therapy is absolutely an appropriate treatment for partial tears but there is a pattern of the organization consistently going with the conservative approach and ending up with...

Chicago having enough cap space to spend 8 million dollars on Kane x2 years makes sense. Bedard being done with his rookie contract while still being in a situation where you have the ability to spend 8 million dollars on Kane for 2 years is certainly a choice. I don't think this is a bad...

I don't know if it was Bo that brought the energy but the team just seemed to be lacking something all year. There really wasn't a stretch of the season where it looked like the Jays were going to take control of their season. You'd see a game or two and think "ok maybe" and then it would be...

I mean they already lost players this offseason due to cap crunch. Dallas is currently 1.3M over the cap with 13F/7D 2G. They would have had to trade more guys away to sign him to a bigger deal. This seems like the most logical approach.

It's good that the team has at least been clear on what they are. This is a terrible offensive team. They have no approach at the plate other than swing aggressively. Teams just don't throw stuff over the middle of the plate and the Jays just chase low and outside without any adjustment. No...

The pitching staff was signed to be injury prone. They knew Berrios health was an issue. They knew Bieber was out for the first half of the year. They knew Yesavage was going to be an on innings limit. They knew Scherzer was wildly injury prone and playoff effort aside was pretty bad last...

2026-2027 schedule is out. 84 games to better balance the schedule. Given that the Atlantic division will be a bloodbath: Back-to-Backs: Boston (14), Ottawa (14), Buffalo (14), Florida (14), Tampa (13), Detroit (12), Toronto (11), Montreal (10) Facing a team on a back to back: Montreal (19)...

I was just a kid when I started posting here. She was always the nicest and most welcoming of anyone on the forum back then. Truly a remarkable person who was taken far too soon.

Last in the AL East 17-32 against teams >.500 This is just a bad team. It will be interesting to see how long Atkins gets to keep the glow of the World Series run because this team has a .507 winning percentage over the last 2.5 seasons despite having the 4th highest payroll in baseball.

She was a pleasure to listen to. Dubas was a pleasure to listen to. Honestly, when Shanahan came here, he was a pleasure to listen to. Results matter. The franchise underperformed in the playoffs. They don't have a great track record with drafting outside of the can't miss ones. Their...
