If they can't even trade Brad Hand the players are about to get turbofucked in free agency.

99.999999999% of players are chuds. They just talk about it less than he does. There are way worse people to cheer for than him.

Just cause you need to find reasons to make it ok to cheer for the evil Yankees doesn't mean we all want to find similar ones for our own teams.

My favorite player growing up was Carlos Delgado and since then is Jose Bautista. Neither is a chud and are genuinely good people that do good things but keep pretending who you cheer for doesn't matter.

Guess that means Taijuan Walker won't be back since I think the Jays wanted to fill two spots in the rotation, one at the back end and one at the front.

That Ray was near the front of the rotation and now they only needed one at the back.

Ya I never said that? Its not like Walker would be a front end rotation starter either. They're both back end guys.

I'm pretty sure the Miguel Cabrera trade is worse than any of those.


Not to mention trading Sheffield and stuff for Zeile and Piazza then trading Piazza a week later for a pile of gently caress all.

IMO Bartolo should come to the Jays if the Mets don't sign him. Then we can add another big sexy lad to our team of chonky boys and trade him to the Mets at the deadline so he can retire as a Met. 2021 would be better with Bartolo playing

As much as I am pro beefy lad on the team, I am very anti beefy dad, so I hope this doesn't happen.

I enjoy watching bartolo pitch from a technical perspective, his mechanics are still incredible and I imagine he can throw the baseball in a coffee cup more times than not

also I want to see a guy who throws nothing but mid-80s fastballs be a passable major league pitcher

Apparently the Jays fired Mike Wilner. No reason was given. I never found him particularly great at calling games, though I have fond memories of the mid-late 2000s and him yelling at terrible post-game callers.

Rogers doing Rogers things. I didn't particularly care for him calling games one way or the other but he was an unabashed gigantic Jays fan who was smart and mostly thoughtful and he seems crushed.

It sounds like the Cape Cod League. I don't think they could even pay players because at the point they would be in the league, they would still be 'amateurs'.

Ya this definitely seems better than throwing 145 pitches a game for some rear end in a top hat manager at Rice or wherever.

Dombrowski is great why would anyone be upset about going from the last two doofuses that ran the Phillies to a guy who's taken 3 different teams to the World Series?

Like its confusing in that he generally does a lot of gambly moves that sells out for a World Series and the Phillies don't necessarily have the things he usually uses to do that, but he's also not a dumb idiot like the last two guys.
