This jays front office have destroyed this team. Sadly, each season it gets more and more grim.
Obviously, Shapiro et al was hired in Toronto to destroy. Look at Son of Rogers, and quit giving the money-grubbin' SOB your money! Dumb-arzes!! Behave like proper fans!!
So the starting pitching is bad, the bullpen was horrendous last year, the hitting is awful and their two young stars contract extensions are stagnant heading into free agency. How the hell is Ross Atkins employed. What an embarrassment he has turned this once proud franchise into
"our pets heads are falling off!"
"in a state of trauma" for early morning! I love it. Exactly how I feel as a non-morning person.
Spend money on a new front office. Best off season move ever
Wow, great back & forth!
How much more can Atkins screw up
Unfortunately we get to find out!
The best move Atkins could make is to resign 💯
Arden, Jd just owned you!!
That was hilarious!!
Trading Bo would be a dream come true
Look around the league, the teams that have to literally watch every dollar, KC, O's, Tigers, Twins, and Guardians, were all better teams than the Jays. Hence if you want a major move, start with the front office...
Although that is true, it was only one year from a wildcard position.
Worst front office in baseball. So many reasons. But there seems to be a lot of fans who still believe in them.
Can't say I have heard any fans congratulate Front Office on their great job.
Sorry for dissing you in the comments, and saying that you should be more like Mcown a few weeks ago. Actually, I love your insights now, brother. Old guy here.
they ruined this team...the managers and front office should ALL be fired. what an absolute fkn joke of embarrassment.
Some of the insight that you brought to this cast has enlightened me about different things. That I’ve never thought of.
What is next? Years of mediocrity
They may as well trade Bo and Vladi and there starting pitchers start over be the Oakland A'S of the east
We seriously got Arden talking about talk tuah coin before gta6
I think it’s fair to value Bo as a 3WAR player this year. Other teams will see him as a gamble based on last year’s numbers. I agree he could legit bounce back to a 5WAR, but there is some uncertainty. Devin Williams is a 2WAR player and legit closer.
I would be very interested that trade if it came with a prospect. Even if that meant eating some of Bos salary. With a trade like that it shifts Gimenez to SS and makes room for Wagner at 2B, and helps the bullpen a ton! It makes both teams better.
You prob said the same thing about vlad last year
@ nope I always thought Vlad had a higher ceiling than Bo, and liked Vlad more. Bo was like a dark cloud last year. Even if he played well it’s not fun to watch. He’s not coming back to Toronto when he is a FA. Might as well get something for him.
The best-case scenario for Kepler is that he'd be another Brandon Belt.
Trading Bo would just give Vlad another reason not to sign here. Bo has one bad season and he's an up and down player? Dude has been a stud every other year. This franchise is is shambles sadly with no clear direction. Vlad will be the top free agent next year and everybody needs a power bat. $500M will be the starting bid imo. Jays had years to sign him and dropped the ball.
Totally agree!!
LMAO. Vlad is not stupid. He knows the Jays need a decent shortstop. Trading Bo is not going to make Vlad want to leave in any possible way
What's next for the Blue Jays? Finishing dead last in the east. I hope that I'm wrong, but probably not.
They’ve already finished dead last 💀
Can only stay the same or start to improve. Depends on the pitching.
no one whats to sign with a woke organization, mlb players have not forgotten what the jays did to Bass
Well said
It is going to be long season next year with Ross Atkins around.
The blue jays head office..well Shapiro and Atkins are the biggest jokes as pres and gm..they have completely destroyed this team and franchise.. just like they did in Cleveland... Shapiro has nothing to show for his time here but a stadium that they will not fill bc this team is a mess... they trade vlad you will have nothing left for the fans to come and watch bc the rest of the team,with exception to 3 starting pitchers, are not good enough to make it far or even worth watching.. I was at spring training last yr and no one was excited for this team
What should be next is atkins and Shapiro forrd
They should invite Trevor Bauer to camp to round out the rotation!
Maybe kenley Jansen for the pen
Why do Jays Fans think that this team has a pulse with Shapiro and Atkins running this team.
I really like the JD Bunkis Podcasts but I skip the ones about the Jays. I just can't take it. Shapiro and Atkins are the two most incompetent baseball executives in the business. It's complete lunacy that these two still have jobs, especially Atkins. Every day I read about another Atkins mistake or bad trade, etc. You couldn't destroy a team better if you tried.
❤😂😂😂
As long as Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins are in charge, the team will always fail. A solution to the blue jays is fire both Shapiro and Atkins’s and hire some people who want to see the Jays become championship contenders. If the Hays don’t make those changes , Vladdy JR is not going to stick around, he’ll want to play for a team that are playoff contenders.
What's next? A lot of losing I would assume
Kepler 😂😂😂😂
Vladdys not signing with the Yankees… not even dead!
Bo' s Got to go !!! But not now because his value is very low , you only get peanuts for him now. You must wait until he hopefully has a good first half Then he has Value as a trading piece ! 😅
Jays need to sign teo and bullpen help and try to sign vladdy to 35 million per season.
$35 million is probably not enough. He already makes $29 million.
It makes me laugh that the Jays let Romano go and the power house Phillies saw his value and gave him a shot. I hope he's incredibly successful with the Phillies and can win the World Series.
They should cough up the money for vladdy!
Yankees losing Soto makes things slightly easier
We get more info than you do sometimes. So rip away!!
Just sign Teo and some arms and call it a day
They need to get rid of them in the office. No one has confidence that they can do the job
Inflation and the incoming economy crash is a hell of a thing Arden. That's what the contract will look like. Bury your head in the sand if you want, but that's the price it will be.
I hope fans stop going to games maybe then rogers will do something
Bo is a below avg short stop.
Kepler over Hernandez or Santander? Don't pay for someone who was really good last year, they might not be as good this year but Bo used to be good so he'll be an all star this year even though he sucked last year. Sounds like Atkins adheres to Arden's logic. Vogelbach should have killed last year!!
Whats next? Mediocre nothingness, casual fans can get dressed up in blue jays gear and get some photos for social media about all the Jays will be good for.
Arden Zwelling is a sorry Rogers apologist. He's not going to be critical of anybody on the team or front office.
No Poistion player is worth 50 million a year....NONE..and its that simple. Soto was the biggest over pay in sports history. When I look at Freeman making 27 million a year...even with inflation...Vlad isnt worth more than 30-32 a year..Cause arguable he isnt as good at the position and his bat is not that much better......So 12 year 400 million dollar deal would be the max. It would take another Unicorn market to pay that. The Yankees will not be involved though cause I just dont see it after Vlads comments. The Mets or Redsox though i think will gladly pay Vlad more than Toronto. For that reason honestly they need to trade Bo and Vlad before this season starts.
Shatkins burn bridges.
This franchise has become a complete joke. Will take years for a competent management group to recover.
Bo Bichette is a franchise player. If you trade him, you need to get one heck of a package in return or you are fired. Message to Ross Atkins.
I won't support a 3rd wild card team!!!!
Who cares!!! Greed galore.
What's next for the Blue Jays? Relocation within 10 years. For now, more dumpster diving. Has beens, and never-weres, and problem children. Cheap is the operative word. Shatkins has accomplished what MLB wanted, the destruction of the Blue Jays.
The Jays need to focus on a legit closer and two bats.
