We can pencil in O Martinez next year. Bring back Danny

With the PED issues, it?s hard to say for sure what the Jays even have in Martinez. Can?t pencil him in anywhere.

Nothing in the system, didn't win a playoff game, haven't resigned Bo or Vlad, need 3 bats and a whole bullpen... It's hard to give Shatkins any credit for what they have done in Toronto.

I don?t know if anyone listened to the press conferences, but my god Rosie DiManno, classy as always.

I just read up on it.

Basic gist seems to be, they?ll just keep doing what they?re doing, and there?ll maybe be some internal improvements. And magically they?ll improve.

It was very uninspiring.

Jays non-tender Romano:

Jordan Romano decision puts spotlight on Blue Jays' bullpen needs

The Blue Jays’ need for relief has never been more clear. The bullpen that finished the 2024 season last in the MLB in wins above replacement and second-last in ERA has only subtracted so far. But of all the recent departures, it's the loss of Jordan Romano that's most significant.

This management team just keeps hoofing fans in the balls.

Nah. I actually kinda get this one. He’ll get a significant contract in arbitration and who knows how he’ll perform after missing most of last season with issues in the throwing arm.

Being non-tendered doesn’t mean he won’t be back, either.

I get all that, but the salary projections don't seem bananas...but what I was getting at is that he's a really popular player with the fans, as well as a local boy.

I get that. It would not shock me if they bring him back at a lower salary than the arbitration projections.

But, honestly, if I were GM, I probably would have non-tendered him in this situation, too.
