The thing with Vlads MVP caliber season in 2021 is he played most of his games in minor league parks. Not his fault but that is the fact. The issue I have with him is the last two seasons haven't been up to the level of 2022. So far this season his OPS and OPS+ are the lowest of his career.

[@patrickdunning8662]

Sorry John, but your answer regarding moving Vladdy in the lineup is too individual focussed for my liking. If they will pitch him the same way regardless, no harm or foul moving him right now. But from a team perspective John, having him in the top of the order is hurting the Blue Jays. So, is it the Blue Jays that are top priority here?

[@pt1122]

Didn’t Bill Russell move from CF to SS for the Dodgers?

[@2727rogers]

3 hall of famers. I believe the last time the Jays won it all in 1993 they had four future hall of famers in their line up.

[@broman74dude95]

This guy in brown shirt says that Ohtani would not be picked in one of his top 10 players to start a franchise. Huh? Ohtani is 29. I get the age thing, but Mookie is 31 and a great player but not a once in a lifetime generational player like Ohtani. SMH

[@fjinnw3019]

This guy don't know what he is talking about, he just doesn't like Ohtani..

[@kennethchen3574]

Ross Atkins should try pulling up to a Jays game.. 🤣

[@MV-gt1qu]

Problem with vladdy on ths dodgers, braves or phils is that he dont even crack those lineups!

[@AndrewMcleod1234]

And the " trade Vladdy " talk Continues! Shapiro's responsibility is NEVER talked about

[@JustMeELC]

ATKINS NEEDS TO BE FIRED NOW! Before he can do any more damage!

[@AndrewMcleod1234]

@JustMeELC I agree, but I think the problem is deeper. Shapiro runs this show.

[@pegnewsarepta3589]

😂Ohtani should be speaking ENGLISH.

[@shaindaman13]

Toronto. Lol

[@Mr1stcat]

Lmao why would you boo ohtani he had no idea what was going on he was at home with his puppy Dekopin, YOU SHOULD BE BOOING Morosi, Jp Hoornstra and your team's ownership 😂 all the Jays fans booing Ohtani looked like numNutz 🤦‍♂️

[@SK-dn9nk]
