2024 Blue Jays

Yeah, that's what I mean - they rarely do work out, but I hope this one does.

He's even said since he signed that he'd have preferred to have ended his career as a one man club, but it would just be nice for the Jays to just have a good story for a change
 
On pace for 162 wins.


But on a serious note, good to see contributions from the big names. Massive HR from Vladdy. Berrios looked solid too.

Oof.

"Finally, starter Alek Manoah is expected to start for the Bisons on Saturday. Like Swanson, he pitched for low-A Dunedin on Sunday. However, the 26-year-old allowed six runs over 1.2 innings, walking four batters and allowing five hits."

Just came back from the Jays game. That was brutal. So hard to root for a team like this. Woof.

I was watching on TV. As soon as they hit the HR in extra innings I turned off. Knew that was it done. Was surprised to see they even tacked a few more on when I checked the final result later on too.

The first pitch of 10th, the ball is in the air, changed the chanel.

That's a tough ninth for Swanson and Mayza.

7th in the league at .526 W% at this point, but it doesn't feel like they're a playoff team right now.

Every now and again there are signs I think that they could be. But then there?s too many things like last night (and I know the bullpen was light on availability and guys were making first appearances etc).

First time I?ve really seen Soto. He?s a pleasure to watch. Shame he?s a Yankee.

Todays hot take.

I wouldn?t give Vlad Jr a big, long term contract.

I don't think that's too hot of a take.  I agree.

Would you for Bo?

Also, Manoah looking terrible:  https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-manoah-struggles-badly-in-fourth-rehab-start/
 
I think I would for Bo, yes.

If I?m not giving Vlad one I guess I?m seeing what value he brings back in a trade.

Never seen a game be actually played in conditions like currently in Kansas. Looks grim.

Agreed. Bo's having a rough start to the year, but he's been very consistent - OPS+ in spitting distance of +125 every year he's been a full time MLB player. Vladdy is much more up and down. If he can get back to near his form from 21 and 22, you lock him up. If not, you either look short-term or for a trade.
 
I would sign them both... nothing in the hopper. Hope he mature into something close to a few years ago. No plan B.
