As an Oriole fan I feel like people underestimate Santander’s defense just because he’s jacked. I would rather have him out there than Juan Soto any day. He’s made some terrific plays and any time he goes for a great play he gets it he never overestimates it. Occasionally he might lose a ball in the corner of the outfield but he has a cannon for an arm too
This is a great start to fixing the offence if we can get another it would really help, Alonso or Bregman would solidify at least the top of the order.
Santander is a decent bat behind Vladdy. Now its time to get that starting pitcher either through FA or Trade. FA maybe Flaherty or Pivetta and for trades maybe package Rodriguez , Schneider and a minor leaguer for either Cease from the Padres or Lopez from the Twins. Bottom line need long term Vladdy contract. Orelvis Martinez has the possibilty of making the big club and that adds another power bat. Kirk is an decent catcher but he is only a 7th or 8th hitter in the line up. Springer and Bichette need to bounce back big time .
I enjoy the podcast, but you guys got to do a bit more research before you go on camera. Chapman wasn't on the Blue Jays in 2021, he joined them in 2022, Santander isn't from the Dominican he's from Venezuela, Bichette's break out year wasn't 2020, it was 2021.
Not even close, at no time was Justin Turner even close to 44 home runs, and they have completely different profiles. You can get a lot more excited about this one than JT
lol maybe it will be loperfiedo but they won’t bring up Nathan now especially with santander and the team obviously still likes Springer, he is the most likely since he’s played there before and like it or not will be an everyday guy for them
@@LockedOnBlueJays Springer is NOT the most likely, if he plays more than one game in CF I will eat my hat. It will almost certainly be one of Loperfido, Lukes, or Clase depending on who has the better spring. Why on earth would the team start Springer in CF and Loperfido in LF? You've abandoned all reasoning thinking this way.
@ the team has a bias towards Springer, we aren’t necessarily saying it’s the right thing to do, but with this management team that didn’t move him from the one hole I would suspect they put him in centre
@@LockedOnBlueJays They do NOT have a bias towards Springer in CF, quite the opposite, and they demonstrated as much last year, so you really don't have legs to stand on here, much like Springer in CF.
@ I Springer as a player not as a center fielder lol we will see I guess I’m not gonna have a argument about something that will or won’t happen for a month of baseball lol

Thats good to hear b/c the perception is is that he is ok, perhaps bad. All the highlights i see are him hitting dingers.
Love the signing! Go Jays!

Finally ! 😮
Finally is right!!
Need more though but good start

They should sign Trever Bauer
Jays are still 2 moves away. We still have Miles though. AAA stud?
That might even been over-exaggeration😂
Now add Alonso and finish the charge
This front office has a lot of work to do to fix this team. Good start, but not enough
Santander isn't Dominican, he's from Venezuela.

Sp depth is lacking heavily
Alek manoah will be like a trade deadline acquisition, but there definitely still needs to be some depth signings
Bauer
So what this is like Justin Turner.

As long as you keep putting Springer in cf, I will never subscribe as your lack of baseball common sense is frustrating.
