The force field that they'd installed during the past offseason.

I'm pretty sure it hits Travis Wood, but it's possible it bounced off the chair.

I think it hits his pants leg and the metal chair leg right behind it?

But yeah it's difficult to track at that angle.

MLB trade rumours pegs the Jays as getting Bautista and Kendrys Morales, which sounds Okay To Me, but I kind of doubt it considering it runs contrary to Ross Atkins' whole "Speed, Versatility, and Platoon Advantages" plan. That sounds like Reddick or Fowler, to me.

Edit: I forgot Morales is a switch hitter which makes more sense for that.

They're not going to sign Fowler and give up a draft pick.

Jose and Kendrys make sense in that they could be had for pretty cheap deals that expire around the time that Tellez/Alford/Vlad Jr are ready in 2018/19.

I still think they're keeping Edwin

I don't see the Red Sox paying that price with how much they already have on the books for next year, their need to add some pitching still and the fact that Betts/Bogaerts/Bradley all get expensive real soon. Unless they can somehow dump some money (ya right) I just don't see it happening unless there are big changes in the CBA with regards to the luxury tax. IF they go to 225 million this season, they aren't gonna be dipping under it for a few years and they haven't shown the willingness to do that before. And unless some team goes crazy on term/price (I dunno who would), the Jays have the money to hang on to him.

They'll probably keep Edwin, let Jose walk, bring in Reddick or Beltran and see what shakes out of the system for 2018.

I thought the Mets paying Bonilla was almost over but nope, they still have 19 years to go. That is amazing.

Some dumb dumb I went to high school with is claiming he has inside knowledge that Edwin is coming back to the Jays. I don't believe him at all but his family is pretty rich and does have some sort of connection to Rogers if I recall. I would rather have him come back than Bautista but we'll see I guess.

The camera is zooming in and from a weird angle. It makes it looks like the ball curves when it's just staying on it's path and spinning. It never comes anywhere near the relievers.

If you watch the actual video, you see the ball either hit Travis Wood's leg or the chair leg behind his pants.
