"Absolutely incredible. Did it on 80 pitches too? Not sure why you take them out after any pitches, Brandon Hyde, but apparently it was the right decision. And funny enough, the Red Sox actually faced Alexander wells 11 days prior. They rocked him in Boston to the tune of 5 earned runs over 5 innings, 6 hits, a home run, a walk added in on there. They elevated his ERA nearly to an 8, 7.96. And then here you go, justice is served baby. Alexander Wallace left handed pitcher handles the Red Sox in Baltimore gets the series one before the season ends. And man, that Twitter, Twitter interaction between the O's and the Orioles. That was some primo stuff. That was the funniest. That was some of the funniest stuff we've watched all year and it's it does bring me pleasure. I don't want to get, I don't want to get too high on my high horse here, but it brings me pleasure to watch the baseball community come against the Red Sox in some capacity because it's just been so long where people have either felt bad for the Red Sox. Oh man, the curse, it's been so brutal for us. Or it's like, oh, these are the these are the blue collar Red Sox. They're coming into town and, you know, they got they got these scruffy dudes who were on low salaries and they're going to kick your ass. And it's like, no, they got a top fucking four payroll dude..

"I'm having fun. I'm not going to, I'm not going to root for anybody. I'm not going to say I want to face this team in a wild card that I'm not doing that. That's not where my rooting interest lies. Baseball is unpredictable. I am rooting for the Mariners to pass the Red Sox because the Red Sox are the Red Sox. It has nothing to do with an easier matchup. It has nothing to do with getting ahead of myself. It has everything to do with, I hate the Red Sox, and I'd like it if the Mariners pass them, please, that would be fun. Do you agree? Yeah, would love to see Mariners have made the platform since 2001. Be great if they made it 20 years later. Even if it is just the wild card game. And speaking of that on that note because we were talking about it before, if there is a tie, it'll be at Fenway, Red Sox have the four three advantage in the season series. That is, that's what rules all in the two team tiebreakers. Then it's higher winning percentage and intra division games than it's higher winning percentage in intra league games. And then it's higher winning percentage in the first half of interleave games and it's higher winning percentage in the last half plus intra leagues game provided that such one additional game was not between the two tide clubs..

"He got himself out of that jam on Tuesday night. Wednesday night, he gave that bomb to Bo Bichette. Shouldn't have been in the game in my opinion. I don't necessarily think it's his fault for giving up a bomb, but that's just a lunatic and a very good player in baseball. Yeah, but bad call by Aaron Boone in my eyes right there. It's tough to bring him into that spot. You saw what he did the night before. He was lucky to get out of that jam with how wild he was. But hey, you look at this. And this was not part of any plan, but it's amazing because now you have guys who can eat innings once again, Michael king and sebrina come in last night. Kluber doesn't last 5. And then you have you have a competent group of guys who can pick up the slack and give you multiple innings and not have you throwing 5 relievers or 6 relievers for the last 5 innings because your four or 5 innings because that's just really untenable. And that's how you get the tired bullpen. And that's how you get Chad green, coughing up a 5 run lead against the Astros in right before the all star break. Don't know how many times we have to stress how important it is to keep these guys rested and utilize them in the proper times. I know it's hard. I know the baseball season is a marathon, but sometimes this isn't the decisions are very obvious in front of your face. We talked about severino coming in. Look, we weren't even confident severino was coming back but we alluded to the fact, hey, if he comes back, that's a multi getting bullpen weapon for the postseason and then at that point we're getting ahead of ourselves looking at the postseason after the Yankees shipped shit away. There are 7 game lead in 12 days..

"But I can look that up right now while we're chatting. Yeah, please do. I read that that game would be in Seattle and I don't know why that would be the case. But okay, that's the dream. No one knows what's gonna happen. The Yankees are at best going to get a one game chance to prove themselves at worst. They're going to get, I mean, at worst, they're out of there out of the postseason. At second worst, they're going to have to play a game to get into the game. There's nothing is going to come easy. None of this is going to be there's no cushion for them to land on. It's only a relative cushion based on where they were a week ago. But there's no cushion at all. Every game is make or break every second is terrifying. The bullpen could do anything, right? And based on this tortured season, there is a chance that absolutely anything could happen at any time. But I think it's safe to say in a safe judgment that even though the names in this bullpen aren't who you expected to be there when the season started when there was Dara no day and there was Justin Wilson and there was Zach Britain, right? You're dealing with completely different people. Jonathan Lewis, it hasn't emerged yet, et cetera, et cetera. And last year, you've got Britain and out of vino and Chapman in green. And it's different guys than it's ever been before. Keenly, when the Yankees did have Super Bowl pens, but this year's edition of the Yankees bullpen, I think is by far the deepest and healthiest and most ready to go into October. Now, healthiest again, we've got three days. Anything can happen. Healthiest, I'm not willing to make a declaration on and say they are the healthiest..

"But our concern about what's going on with Eric hole right now given the circumstances because this is the guy that's got to get us to the next step. And I just don't know how we'll put it this way. The bullpen better be all hands on deck for that day. The freaking bullpen, I do want to talk about this to the thing with Gerrit Cole, frankly, is obviously he's had struggles for a while now, whether it's the hamstring, whether it's mental, whether it's fatigue, whatnot. I'm glad it is Garrett Cole struggling and not some flash in the pan like Robbie ray struggling at the tail end of the season, trying to get it together. Because if it were, let's say Nestor Cortez junior is getting bombed all September. I love him. I love the story. I love what he's giving us. But I definitely don't have full faith in a mental checkbook to be like, masters got October. He's been good his whole career in October. Like there's no, you know, I've got nothing to reference. Cole I know is Derek Cole. Nothing changes that you can't say that losing his substances ruined his season, potentially, it's messing with his mind a little bit now. It's probably something that's in the back of his head at all times. But his numbers since the sticky substance band, he's up to like a 4.15 ERA or something, but he's up to he's past 6 in September because of whatever else is bug him. So you take that out and there's really, you know, hasn't been that large a cause and effect since that moment outside of just a couple rough starts. He hasn't been perfect this year. I would be, I don't think he deserves to be the same. If you like garrick's had a great year with a couple of really brutal public stinkers..

"They didn't end the season with winning winning records against the socks or the Jays, but they they left as big a statement as you can on the season series against both of those teams because they essentially ruin the Red Sox. I'm not going to prematurely say the Red Sox are dead, but the Red Sox have lost 5 of 6. And they look bad ever since the Yankees just went into Fenway and completely destroyed them. The Jays were obviously limping into this series, they were 6 and 7 over their last 13. And they kind of had owned the narrative on the Yankees this year. They were the ones who constantly punched back. They were the ones who came through with big hits. They were the ones that were so good. Yeah. Bo Bichette is the most now the most annoying player I've ever watched. And I watched that. I know how anybody gets them out ever. Yeah. I want to enjoy and I can't enjoy it. I can't enjoy watching Bo Bichette and it sucks because he's just he's constantly screwing me. But unbelievable player. Unbelievable lineup this is. And they have gotten the better of us for most of this year. I know that it wasn't what were they 6 and 9 versus coming into the series or something like that? Something like that. I mean, if the Jays don't four games sweep the Yankees at Yankee Stadium two weeks ago, three weeks ago, four game sweep at the Yankee Stadium. That's why we're even in this predicament . Yeah. What the hell was that? I know..

"And so you can't count on Seattle to lose to the angels and I don't really want to do that. I hope Seattle beats the angels. You can't count on the Red Sox to lose to the nationals, although it's more likely than it was before they enter that oriole series. You can handle your own business and then scoreboard watch now. A loss by the Yankees on Friday or Saturday doesn't automatically mean that the team's behind them are also gaining. Yeah. And it is helpful to be the same number of games up on both teams competing for the last spot as opposed to being like one up on the Red Sox and two up on Seattle because then you're eyeing Seattle, but you want Seattle to win because you want the Red Sox to drop out, but you can't root for Seattle to win 'cause you're also getting tracked down by them and so when they're both in that mud, it's kind of a little more fun. Giving more credit to the top of the 6th inning yesterday, by the way, this is, I mean, you know, it's not over. They're coming home to face the rays. Nothing is clenched yet at all. And nobody knows that more than me. But entering this road 6 games against the Red Sox and the Jays. Those are borderline impossible. The Yankees have to take two out of three in each series to feel at all confident..

"Is pray. you know. Hope believe. I'm not sure but again he's at home. He's going to have the crowd behind him expanding capacity. You feel like it's in his favor but he's been the wild card this year for him. So you really don't know what's going to happen tuesday night and another factor as much as we don't know what these adjustments are the yankees also don't know what these adjustments are so they're gonna be facing someone who potentially has new mechanics. Something new worked into his delivery. That maybe that throws him off. Maybe it's a little bit of a surprise factor there who knows who knows it's going to be a surprise factor for everyone watching that night and it's like if the blue jays lose that game it's not the end of their season. They still got two more games against the yankees but it just means they have to win two in a row to end off that series. They have to win those games. Because if you lose this series to new york it's game over so it's gonna be very intense watching the series and it's gonna be a lot of fun watching the blue jays down the stretch Do we wanna do predictions for this series against new york. Honestly like i said. I as nervous as i am. I think the blue jays are going to win two three. I think at the end of this series. I'm holding out. Hope for the red sox tonight but at the end of this series i think the blue jays will be tied with the yankees in the wildcard standing. And it's going to be a wild last three days of the season. That's what i'm predicting for the blue jays. Because all the signs point to them having new life. George springer has new life. He's back in the lineup. He's back hitting i. Two home runs. Since i think it was september eleventh doubleheader against baltimore all signs point to that spark plug being again for the blue jays. And i think it's gonna pay off. I think they're going to warm up and exploded just the right time and they're going to pull it off and win this series against the yankees but it is certainly going to be stressful series to watch. If you come out and win tuesday night. You are in the driver's seat to take two to three and even if they don't do that i know i haven't been asked confident with my predictions..

"Year for them to be consistently hitting Just hitting a wall and getting on base the starting pitching also turn itself around so that's also a positive for me but now you have one more homestand. Six games three against the yankees. Three against the orioles these type of sluggish performances. Where the offense doesn't get going and you know. Starting pitchers don't pitch while and against teams that they should be that that's got to stop it. It's got to be passed by this point now and i think it's two crucial for them to go through this. You know time out in time men pretty more time in and time out for the rest of the way. So i mean this series against the yankees is going to be huge and we keep saying that this is the biggest game of the season biggest game of the season while each week you gets even bigger and really not. Nothing's gonna top what we're about to go through this past week but definitely a couple or a lot of positives. I guess coming out of the series near the second half of the series which is good news and kind of gives you some confidence heading into this last homestand against the yankees starting on tuesday night. Yeah george springer get going is so so huge for the blue jays and you know we talked about previously but the question of whether to move him down from the leadoff spot was a legit question and give his health and his issues with that. It was obviously something that had to be considered. But what we're seeing now and what we've seen in the past with him. You know progressing taking off that bulky knee brace and replacing it more with a niece sleeve that he can still have as a high socks on and moving into center field indicates that he's healthy and that's what matters like even if his bat wasn't there in this series of the last two games of the series. It's still wouldn't matter to me because we've seen that he getting more healthy and it's going to come with time that's the thing. It was always gonna come with time if he was healthy if he wasn't healthy that's where the concern lies but now that he's healthy. You're relatively healthy getting healthier or seeing what he can do with the bat and once he finally gets going and thankfully hopefully what we saw..

"So or you know the jays could not make up any ground. But they're going back to margaret saying you don't know if it's going to happen or you're not confident that a well that's perfectly fair and i'm not expecting so much either but i mean if you want to do it. That's how you do it. You take out the orioles for three and you take two or three from the athletics. Because that's what you have to do. You can't lose the series to the athletics either looking at by. I don't know how much until the red sox really fall off. I know they've been kind of holding their ground to bid over the last couple of weeks. I know the the jays did get a game on them after. Cleveland beat them yesterday. So there's there's something for that but And of course you still have the mariners who are ahead but they have a series against the astros coming up which was mentioned before so you hope that the astros can take them out as well maybe the jays. This is the opportunity for the j to kind of you know. Pass them once again and chase the athletics and red sox but nothing's really guaranteed so. That's really what you need to do for that. You need pretty much a week where you only lose one game. You need to take three from the oils. You need to take two from the athletics. At least and then of course you hope other teams you know the teams that you need to lose. Hope that they lose. But you know you can't always depend on that to happen. We've talked about that before. So that's why you need to focus on yourself which the jays you take the orioles and really. There's no excuse for this not to happen. But i mean we. We know how this team supported us before. And that's why say they won't do it again as much as i don't wanna be negative. It's just been kind of reality this year with team no matter if it's the bullpen. If it's the offense who's been struggling recently so that's pretty much where you look at it from now. You have reinforcements. Have george springer. I know you have reinforcements potentially in the bullpen julian. Mary weather's throwing out in aaa buffalo. Right now you have a pearson who still there you have other people who are on their way back so i mean maybe that's going to help the bullpen to give more options and we'll see what happens from there but i don't know how much i'm expecting because this is the problem to the team. This team sucks me. Like they make me believe and then they only for me to get even more disappointed..

"A little bit laura's gory junior in the bottom part of the lineup has been putting up good numbers corey dickerson as well. All those guys we mentioned you can be encouraged about those guys but at the same time they just aren't able to come through in the big moment so i don't think they're gonna turn it around all of a sudden and i don't really have faith in them doing what they need to do against an easy opponent poly baltimore and we've seen what happens whenever the blue jays win. It seems like other teams win and whenever they lose it seems like other teams. So i don't know why that luck would change in this series. So i'm still not confidence going to happen again. There's a shred of hope. But i don't think it will happen. Where do you guys stand on. The the the likelihood of the blue jays perhaps running the table in this upcoming series and getting some good luck in terms of the red sox and athletics and mariners. Losing see if there's one thing that being a toronto sports fans taught me it is never make many bets but because things go all all over the place but if you're the blue jays the one thing that you can worry about is if you win against the orioles or beating the orioles and i think it's realistic. I mean i will say. I'm a bit nervous to see here in june you start. I haven't said that. Probably ever since he's come to the blue jays is the as creeping up close to four. Now i'm a little nervous about that. But considering that stephen mats and robbie ray or starting i think that's That's legitimate shot to win those games and we we've obviously. We saw his fourteen strikeout performance. Robbie ray was fantastic. Stephen matt's has been really good since the all-star breaks and i mean with robbery like that performance. That's not a one off that's one of what is it thirty or twenty five fantastic. Starts this season so i think they have a shot at winning. I'll be completely honest. That's the only thing that they can focus on. The one thing they need is a lot. Better offense maybe that offense comes from springer not going to say that. That's a saving grace. But i think it's a legitimate chance that he comes back and he helps them even if he doesn't. I still think that the offense could turn things around but the problem is is. You're also hoping that other teams lose. I will say it's probably really reasonable to expect a game or two out of The the red sox lose the rest of the teams honestly. I think it's a gamble. If you're the blue jays and your bluejays fans all you can really do is focused on winning. And if they win maybe they pick up a game if they lose maybe they lose a game. That's i think the only thing that we can focus on. So i know scoreboard watching his fun. But i think the only thing that the blue jays can do is focus on their own scoreboard. Because at this point it doesn't matter if you win or lose your it does obviously but you also need other teams to win and lose so or to primarily to lose. So it's it's definitely tough. I mean you're not the odds of one team winning it's the odds of one team. Winning multiplied by the odds of teams losing or like three or four teams losing. So it's going to be tough a lot of things. i mean. a lot of things have to go right but all you can really focus on. If you're charlie montoya your that the the the blue jays get some games against the orioles. Gotta take two three. That's i think that's a guaranteed..

"I think he does start five six now. it is hard to take marcus. Simeon from the leadoff spot. But if you do and if it gets to that point like i don't think semi-in should be this. I feel disrespected from it. I just think comes to the point where you all feel. You're putting your best lineup on paper. And it was supposed to be george springer this entire time but right now i. It's so hard to think about tweaking the lineup and moving simeon out of there. But i do think by the end of the season i mean. I don't know how long it'll take. I do think eventually springer will lead or end up back a one. And i don't know if you guys heard this idea to pat was talking about it on the broadcast where he had an yes. Mark knows this. I about your reaction and a lot of people were kind of especially me. I was very confused by he had the idea of markelle simeon batting ninth followed by george springer at one. And the problem with that as we all know is that you're obviously not guaranteed to have four at bats. The nightspot you're kind of taking the youth you know. Where do you start with the problems with the. Yeah exactly. there's a lot of problems. But i mean pat went on about a for about a minute and a half. He was pretty confident with it. I mean i guess. I understand the creativity behind his thinking but i would be shocked if i ever saw that so i do think simmons stays out one and then springer. I think eventually goes back to one. I have a few things. I just want to stay the same and that is for abuse you to stay within the bottom three. I want to oscar state at four. Because i think over these past two games as well we kinda got the importance and and even back in april when crew is for most of the month due to covid. Is that how much his lineup does. Mean in this offense and it's not really you know it is talked about but i hung springer guerrero bouchette. And sometimes you're not always talking about the oscar. And i think a lot of people sometimes forget the importance of his lineup in the cleanup or his his bad in the cleanup spot..

"I when the when the trade was supposedly or not the signing was supposedly official. I was like okay. You know he'll make the team better. You'll be a good fourth outfielder by prior to hearing that it was official. I was still never necessarily King on this. I thought the bluejays didn't really need another outfielder without having to make a trade but even regardless. I didn't think that michael brantley was necessarily the the right fit for the buddha's like you said mark but right after the trade was kind of debunked keep injury but right after the signing was made or was debunked was kind of relieved. Just because i didn't necessarily think the blue jays needed him And actually kinda felt bad because hazel may one of the original. I think twitter or people that tweeted saying that. This was official received a lot of backlash for it on twitter. I think she deleted her original tweet. I tried to find it. But i think it's gone but still a lot of people. Were trashing her. Most recent tweet that said it was debunked and it was just it was a whirlwind of however i think it was like two hour span. It was just a weird weird morning because we heard obviously the day before. George springer signed and rawal euphoric about that. But then we hear. Michael brantley is going to the blue jays for wh- three years and i was like okay. That's the outfield is is completely set for the next three years but then it's not actually happening and admittedly. I had a bit of a sigh of relief. Because i don't know why the blue jays would literally go and signed to outfielders when they already had four arguably five outfielders that could fit that role so it was a weird situation but in the end i think it did work out for the blue jays because they didn't end up signing somebody that they didn't necessarily need yeah. I got a lot of mike. Napoli feelings to this because Well just because of how quickly theory are for. Just a refresh mike. Napoli was a blue jay for about four days acquired in the vernon wells. Deal back in. I think it was twenty fourteen and then he was pretty much traded to taxes. Four days later for frank francisco. So that's that's what compares it to me just to feel how quickest in with the blue jays was. Yeah i grabbed this. One is more of deflating The blue jays fans an all time high in getting george springer. Everyone was pretty much freaking out and then the same night because when we did our emergency podcasts we remember. We were speaking about it right away. And how george springer had the same. I guess was represented by the same agency as brantley their close friends and this seemed to be more something to keep him happy or start off happy. Like right away okay. You know his. I guess thought or his first recommendation was bringing. Michael brantley i. Clearly they did everything they could..

The Astros really didn't even make it. I mean, they made the $18 million qualifying offer.

Jason Oh, man, Are you all right? I've seen Are you all right? Just friends, and we have a problem when I said they have problem with all their balls. I wasn't kidding, because it's what Franchise hasn't been tainted. And it is kind of just like, well worse off than it was and look at the Astros were in the world, Syriza and now here they are basically having to rebuild. The Texans were leading In the playoffs. Just how many years ago one year ago they go. They were up. Was it 24 to nothing was doing 28 was three scores traded away all your talent. Your your best quarterback wants to get out. You look over at the basketball team that's in shambles. Friend's gun. He Jake took hers. Your biggest toughest dude Tucker will be traded here. And, Yeah, I mean, the worst part too. I mean, people will say Altuve A with the Bregman are the best players on that Astros team, probably, but George Springer. You know, his numbers have stayed consistent, Gone up. You know, you could argue in pro rated this. The abbreviated season that they have last year was his best. As where all of the Astros I'm not saying that it's the lack of trash can bangs. It's led to a downturn and you might be saying it's a lack of buzzers that might be doing it right statistical performance of downturn For a lot of those of those Houston Astros George Springer has stayed consistent or gotten better. You know, since the 2017 science dealing scandal, and so Yeah, he's out. This is the unfortunate time for the Houston actress. Terrible time for all of Houston, though. They're lutely. Yeah. Hard now. Springer, maybe to Shawn Watson. No, they're gonna learn how Cleveland feels real quick. We didn't.

They were doing something. The tea doctor up the baseball is there. Which again you know, I said, this of the sign stealing when it first started, and then I was proven to be quite a quite wrong. I was like everybody is doing this. All right. Everybody's cheating in baseball, and I think that's probably Case for doctoring baseball's Everybody's doing what they can get away with, but yeah, man, they are just there. The lot of black marks on that resume Now the Houston interests, you know, I will. They'll never, like just cease to amaze me. What they try to get away from and do you? Do you remember what you were following baseball? When Phil Niekro got in trouble back in the day? He was he was he was you had to spitball he had He would have. He would have stuff in his in his love, and he was a spitball guy, and it was a lot of those guys. Gaylord Perry used to do it, too. He put stuff in his glove.

Basically the plethora of beer starters but they're not ace's but the guys that are going to definitely fill that rotation into a very good job at it. The off season is nearly complete. I don't think it's complete just yet. There's lots of touch-ups they have to do. Starting rotation is something of an area of need still jake All these names taiwan walk. I would love to see taiwan walker comeback. He's expressed so many times on twitter of his and staying here. There's been lots of tweets where he's kind of hinted at i would love to see him. Come back jay goede rizzi other names james paxson how cool that be but they needed. I still think they need. Add a starter. I think we're still one starter away from being nearly complete but if you were told me they would walk away. The offseason today on this date. After george springer completely finished i would make i would say i would call it acceptable. I would either give it a b. plus or a minus may named minus probably at best. They need a few more touch-ups arms in the bullpen and the one more starter and That that would nearly complete it for me. An ad for a team where they were at the beginning of the season to the end. Then i think it would be almost complete and almost the best possibility best case scenario for them and yet i guess you can't rule out. Trevor bauer. i just from the start. I just wasn't too keen on the possibility of because they couldn't afford him just because of his preference of playing but he's been meeting with the team. Maybe this appeals them a little bit. But i'm sure you can be healed by the dodgers rosters while in other teams out west Like the angels. But this definitely helps jays around the entire league as well gives him that. Look that we're finally for real. We finally got a free agent for that amount of money. It's just so bizarre to see this happen. It's usually a trade where you're giving up your entire farm system but it's nearly complete offseason. I'd be fine with the way it ended now but there's still a few more pieces away from me to say it was complete a this year for them. I've just got two names colton long jacob. That's all those. Those are the guys i want. That would be a perfect. Yeah that's my dream. If i could make anything in the world happened it'd be cold and long jacob. That's it that's all i need. It might be too much to ask for now that we've seen the kind of money they've already got on the books but that that's all i want. I think that would make the perfect team if the blue jays get them. They're going to the world series. I'll say that now look at us. Now we're all we're all spoiled now with our love it. We just want more and more. We're getting greedy. Alright well any final thoughts about this before we wrap it up. I think it's just this is a good time to be blue jays fan. Anybody listening you know you are. You are about to enter. Probably the best era of blue jays baseball with a long window and it off spring training is a month away. It is oh i think opening day dan. Shulman tweeted is seventy three days away. So it's a couple of months and then we get to see these guys. It's gonna come your faster than you think. Things are looking up all right. Well thank you..

"Tae oskar hernandez has broken out. He's an amazing hitter at the time that they signed ronald griffin to an extension he. I don't think laura's grill. Junior was even in the outfield yet. I think those a season. They signed him at the beginning of the season that he went down to the minors transition to the field. So i i think that hindsight is twenty twenty and if you're in that situation look at the deal maybe it's a little bit questionable but knowing what the blue jays new then it's not the worst thing in the world of course now it's a little bit of a mistake but we can live through. We can trade him. We can get someone else pitcher wise for it I want to wrap up our conversation now with one last thought from you guys. What do you think would capitalize the perfect offseason for the blue jays. Right is it. Complete now are we. Are we happy. Just walking away with tyler. Chat would robbie ray kirby eight and george springer 'cause we got the pitching somewhat. We got the fielder. We don't really have infield help but that was never something that had to happen. Can you walk away from this offseason. Being happy if the blue jays make no more deals or do you think they have to make another deal and if you do what deal do you want them to make. Who do you want them to go after. Well i think the off season is probably ninety percent complete. I've said like. I said all through the offseason. I want them to acquire a starting pitcher. And i still think that's what they need. Obviously with tyler chadwick kirby. It's very good additions to the bullpen. And those i'm happy with. I'm not at all complaining about those that the same time i still want some type of third starter or second starter depending on the quality of the starter they choose to come to this team and i know a lot of people are gonna say. Trevor bauer is that a possibility. I mean to be completely honest. I think the blue jays and they'll be active in pursuing him. Do think trevor bauer will pick the blue jays. I mean who after today. Maybe he says this team actually looks like it's going to be very good but you gotta think he's also been very vocal on social media about how how how much he's been talking to the other teams that have also been pursuing him. So i think you might end up seeing jake z taiwan walker. Type deal where he fits. The blue jays needs is going to do very well for the team. But isn't you know. He's not the george springer of the rotation. He's he's the guy that will basically do what he's asked to do. You know who knows maybe something like twenty sixteen where they signed up and everybody was angry about why it wasn't david price and we'll has ended up being an ace for three years. So who knows. Maybe that's what we see. They do need a starting pitcher. And i'm going to if it's not trevor bauer. I wanna hold that possibility. Still in my mind but i think for the most part..

There's been 70 days of free agency 70 so more than two months And Salaries have totaled $226 million. That is less than what Albert Pool halls got alone in free agency. Nine years ago. He got 2 50. So far, the entire league has spent 2 26. Stars J T Realmuto Trevor Bauer, George Springer, DJ Lemak. You all have not signed yet. And the reason is obviously baseball owners in a type of collusion. Are telling each other just wait it out. Wait it out until later on in the spring, until right before spring training, Or maybe even during spring training so we could drive cost down. Because if we're in bidding wars now Will overspend. But if we wait until March Then we'll get guys that are getting antsy. A sign and we'll get him up at a better rate. And that's clearly what is happening here because right now you have agents. N. G. M's who are battling over well how much money is there, and owners and jams like there's just no money. You know, we lost so much money last year. We just don't have the cash. You will need a 60 game season. And yet what happened in the NBA this year this offseason? I mean, guys you've never heard of made 80 million bucks. So the N B a after a pandemic, apparently completely healthy, No fans of the buildings for the playoffs, which is obviously their bread and butter. And yet No fans in the building right now, by the way, little very little fans and sometimes no no fans and the end of a acted as though businesses usual. We're spending money on stars. Right? John has got all of his cash and plenty of cash splashed around the NBA. But Major League Baseball's like, Oh, well, Booth, you know, in a 60 game scandal last year, no fans, no fans, no fans, and we just We don't know about fans this year, and we were just taking it on the chin right now, which Look, I understand it's slightly different because the MBA played the bulk of its regular season schedule last year with fans And Major League Baseball played none of its schedule last year with fans But let's be honest. This is clearly not about any type of reality financially for Major League baseball. This is just how baseball operates. They try to depress the market every year, and this has happened for years collusion. They were found guilty of back in the mid eighties. You can't tell me this year. The owners don't have a wink wink. Agreement like Hey, let's chill out here. You know nobody's doing great because the pandemic we lost a lot of money last year. Let's just all go. Let's let's let's be cool about this. Steve Cohen takes over the New York Mets and he is worth $17 billion with a B. He is the richest owner by three times. Anybody else in Major League Baseball can use three times as rich is anybody else in Major League Baseball? He wants to win right away. He has told fans if he does not win a World Series within 3 to 5 years, it's a disappointment. He's willing to pay the check. He has the money to pay the check. And he wants to pay the check right now, And he has not spent on any of the stars that he has been connected to your telling me that that's just a coincidence that somehow Steve Cohen takes over and you're number one. It is like you know what? I was gonna wait out this Free disappeared. I just don't feel really great about any of these guys. Come on. This is about it artificially depressed market by the owners and the G. M's claiming poor crying poor as they always do, and it's pathetic. It's baseball, and it's how baseball operates and the owners and the G M's are clearly full of it. Let me.
