jays didnt sign Soto, we will recrate him in the aggregate
- senstroll

Soto was never coming to the Jays. The Jays are more than a soto away from contending and Boras knew that.
Alonso probably resigns with the mets.
The Jays should either bandaid the team and sign Fried, Scott, hoffman, Bregman or walker, Santander and Hernandez.
If you cant sign all of the above, trade Bo and vlad and blow it up because you arent competing againts the orioles, yankees and rays.
The Jays have pulled a leafs and have simply hung onto their gm for far too long and his analytic style which have cost them playoff wins.

The Mets have had 1 player in their history walk 100+ times in a season.
Soto has done that 5 times, and would have 7 or 8 without shortened seasons. Wild stuff

Jays have lots of work to do, but they can fairly easily be a playoff team in 2025

Ek mentions the obvious and Giroux being available eventually.

Never knew how good he was at faceoffs. Last 3 years he has had basically 60% in each season including this one.

If they can't get ROR or Nelson he is a good option.

Good choices.
But not enough. Jays need two impact bats a starter and 2-3 bullpen to even try to compete for the playoffs

Here’s how I imagine it:

Zezzie took her to RealSports Saturday night, and slipped the waiter $5 to put the ring deep in the nachos.

Soooooooo romantic!

they would be fine adding 1 good bat and a starter. the bullpen, thats a different story.
but as is with nothing changed they are projected around 86 wins. thats with a few players returning to norms, mainly Bo

so its not as dire as you make it, but it would be nice to add 4 good pieces

lol

thanks guys

Honestly I'm a lucky guy, she could do better but I'll take it.

In all seriousness her family means a lot to me now to so actually being a part of it in this way is profound. I'm a gen Xer and never been married so goes to show you never know.

I'm pretty sure this means the Leafs will win the Cup this year.

Ya we've seen these projections based on internal improvement or players "returning to normal form" before. Cannot count on that.
Get two bats, a legit starter, and bullpen....project higher than 85 93 wins.

Actually it was on the Sam Smith skating track, on skates. I was wearing a Leafs practice hoody and toque lol.

Her father proposed to her step-mom on the way back to the car from a shopping mall in the rain. She said yes, but also really?! lololol. Best proposal ever. I was sorely temtped to copy it, but there can only be one.
