I know this is pretty well off topic. But I wonder what it would take to acquire Burger from the Marlins. His power would most probably help with the AL east parks.
The team was a disappointment offensively, but it can't be dead. It's a team full of former all stars in their supposed prime. You can reasonably believe in some sort of rebound. (For the second straight year lol) Though I would t get too comfortable with that thought. It may not be "We need a Starter now" , But a "we want Fried long term". Gallen, Valdez, King and Lugo highlight the class next year. (Plus more, who have options) Actually, some decent alternative if they can't secure an upgrade this year..
I WANT to believe this...I WANT that 1993 feeling again...but, how many times can we feel jerked around, played for fools, or just straight up lied to, until "wolf" loses its meaning?
If you consider that the Jays were in on Ohtani, maybe it makes sense that they also would attempt to fill the high end pitching spot he was expected to fill this year. Maybe they employ a 5.5 man rotation, with YRod making a spot start to extend some rest for guys, especially early in the year? Soto/Fried is equal enough to Ohtani And Ohtani is one pitch away from missing 20% of the time his contract covers.. (not that I'd be worried about that if he was on my team lol)
Max Fried will likely sign on the West coast, Dodgers or Padres. The J's would be better served to offer Ryan Yarborough a 3 year deal with a serious shot at the rotation. There could be some serious value and upside with Yarborough at a fraction of what you would pay for Fried.
hi guys yes fried was a great pitcher but i believe he has an arm problem ps the jays got to get away with picking old wash up players meaning guys on waivers
I fail to understand why you guys are so anti-Max Fried? You keep mentioning this $50 million that the Jays only have to spend, but they clearly have much more than that and it looks like they’re willing to spend it. How do we know this? They were going to go 700 million with Ohtani and they’re gonna go 550 to 650 on Soto. they probably won’t get Soto but the argument with Otani when people said why don’t they just take the 700 million they were going to give Otani and give it to free agents, it was clear that the Blue Jays looked at the free agent pool last year and didn’t think there was anyone worth it to invest heavily in. And they were right. Everyone lined up to give Bellinger and Soler huge money contracts, but both were basically not worth it this past season. This season is very different. Cody Bellinger wouldn’t be in the top 10 of free agents this year, so I think the Blue Jays are actually going to spend and spend big. I believe that they’re either going to sign Juan Soto or they’re going to sign a similar amount of money in other positions. The Blue Jays also know that if they sign Soto, they will still need to build the team around him. So that $50 million price limit that you’re talking about cannot be true or Soto would eat the entire amount and more. The Jays are in spend mode.
@@danbrammer392 that might be true but up to this point they have barely ever spent over the tax, they do spend money but we looked back and haven’t ever… we have said they might but at the end of the day all the years before this say they won’t. If they do that’s great but we aren’t new to this organization, but again at the end of the day we hope they do, like we always say it’s not our money, we just won’t believe it until we see it

Would fit well if vladdy can play third base from time to time, would be relatively cheap compared to other options as well

It’s a do or die season for this front office and the team in general. My guess, the luxury tax is not a concern
I’m praying that’s the case!
when u need 2 legit hitters and your team is seeking pitching its time to give up and realize Shatkins watches our games through anti baseball glasses
