Yeah, I hear ya
Santander should backup Vladdy at 1st
I would like to see Clase replace StrawAlso, Schreck cometh 🔜
Pinango?Might be a good time to sell high on Lukes
His arm is a total muffin
Varsho choked worse than any Leaf 🤬Holy fuck, he was INCREDIBLE in the outfield. But EVERY time he came up to bat, I was thinking “PLEASE just hit a single.”

NanceSantander won’t bring much. I’d rather see if he can turn things around. The other OF’ers probably depend on whether they sign someone (Tucker/Belinger). If they get Tucker, they could move Lukes. If not I’d like to keep a leftie bat.
I started it, its my thread
A top end starter was 100% a need. Gausman and Bieber are UFA after 2026, and you cant wait and see who might be available next year, if you dont have those 2 and Berrios turning into a pumpkin. it doesnt look great.
Great move to jump the market and get a top end starter for many yearsThey dont need to trade Berrios ASAP, they can and might but no rush.
I dont see Bassit coming back to be a bit role player, he will get 2-3 year offers, hes a dog and teams will love him.
my concern level is almost zero
Great interview with Ponce. Talks about what a God Ryu is in Korea. His story of the game where he beat Ryu’s strikeout record is very cool. Would love to see this guy succeed here.

jfc, ranty mcangry is now flooding my Jays thread. great
The Jays 100% needed a starter, its not just about 1 season. Cease is projected to be their best Starter but a decent margin.
its December, calm the fuck down. There is a ton of time between now and September.Oh it’s YOUR thread. LOL.
It’s nice they added a strong starter but it wasn’t a priority. I would have preferred a lefty because the Jays rotation doesn’t have one and that’s probably going to become a problem but Cease is a great pitcher. But looking at their run, the starting pitching wasn’t the #1 priority. I don’t have a problem with signing Cease but I do have a problem with it if the Jays spend big money on something that is not their #1 priority while their best options for their #1 priority fall off the board. They probably should have signed an elite closer first and Cease 2nd. Or 3rd, after retaining the key pieces that got them to the dance in the first place.
Diaz, Williams, Suarez, Helsley, Pagan and Finnegan, all off the board. Who can the Jays say is an elite closer still available to sign that they can plug into the 9th inning of a World Series game, with a lead, and confidently say, this game is over? Remember, the goal is to get somebody BETTER than Hoffman and it looks like most of those guys if not all of them are already gone and one of them went to the Dodgers, who already beat the Jays without a closer. Imagine now.
They need to trade Berrios ASAP, get an elite closer, a LHP starter, find a way to convince Bassit and Scherzer to run it back as role players and lock in Bo (or effectively replace him). This is like all the years the Leafs did fuck all on July 1st and hearing people say “it’s still only July 12th” and then watching them fall off a cliff.

They’re plenty of good relievers left and paying Diaz that kind of money would make getting Bo and/or Tucker that much more difficult. Unlike the last couple of years, they’re actually the favourites to get the big guns. Even the Dodgers have limits on their spending. They’re apparently interested in Tucker but not willing to go more than 3 years. Advantage Jays.
Some of these signings are going to take a while and outcomes are far from certain. But the Jays have made good moves so far and are likely to make more.
The Jays don’t need relievers. They need an elite, guaranteed closer. Those are two, very different things. At least two have signed and they weren’t with the Jays. One of them was with the Dodgers. They already beat the Jays without a closer. Advantage, still Dodgers.
The Dodgers don’t need Tucker. They could run back the same team and still win the World Series. The Jays still haven’t secured the players that got them to the big stage. That’s a problem.
The Jays should be investing at least 80-100 million in their roster. Yes, they got another RHP starter. Great, but they didn’t need Cease. They had good starting pitching. The problem was the bullpen. Where is the LHP? Where is the closer? Where is the extension for Bo? The cost of an elite closer should not matter. It was literally the difference between winning and not winning a World Series and their #1 priority.
